		<description><![CDATA[We've just gone through a round of recruitment. In just a couple of weeks after posting our advert on a popular job site, we received well over 100 applications. Some were good, but many of them made pretty basic errors &#8212; errors that we also see marketers make when communicating with their customers. So we've identified some basic lessons worth remembering next time you come to write a sales letter, draft a presentation... or indeed apply for a job.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your product's name is critically important. It's what your customer sees first. It's what they order. It's what they recommend to their friends. It's what they search for on the internet. It's what they click on every day. Surely you want it to set a good impression? Yet product naming, in the business-to-business world, doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. While commentators around the world wax lyrical about the hidden meaning of "the new iPad" versus "iPad 3", few people seem to care that much what the latest consulting service or ERP package gets called.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like you, we’re interested in return on investment in marketing. Especially because we’re a service business, and every hour we waste is an hour we can’t get back. So as we sit down to write a new post, when we’ve got plenty of paying work to be doing instead, we find ourselves asking: is a blog the best way we can be marketing our business? What’s the value in it for our readers, and for us?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many years we've loved the phrase "the elephant in the room". It's a striking metaphor that captures the idea of something important looming in the background that everyone sees, but nobody mentions. When clients bring us in on projects, we often spot an elephant or two looming in the background. We think that it's part of our job to ask about them for the good of the project. What do you think?]]></description>
