This is a guest post from Beverlee Rasmussen, former E-Myth Advisor. Her amazing understanding of what makes small businesses succeed is highlighted in her interview with me last October. For the last two months I have been in the market for the all popular iPhone. Most of us would agree that phone distributors have pretty hefty marketing budgets and aggressive sales teams to ensure their profitability.  Like a good little consumer that I am I head straight to the flagship phone store that has been so cleverly positioned to inquire about obtaining my new toy. Upon arrival I wait somewhat patiently in line for 12 or so minutes to... [read more] Related posts:

I've been doing a lot of pitch reviews lately with my clients.  They polish off their presentations or proposals, and they run it by me as if I'm the client.  We go through what they think is good and what they think needs to be polished.
