And Now for Something Completely Different … This week I was talking to a prospect in the marketing department of a company that I had been introduced to by a colleague. They are in the storage industry and are looking to make a big splash by flooding their “message” out to end users, resellers, and analysts. I was told that they had a very well developed content stable so they may not need the full range of DCIG services but that introducing my company to them could prove beneficial. The ensuing conversation reminded very much me of one of my favorite Monty Python’s Flying Circus show sketches; The Cheese Shop sketch. (Cue the Bouzouki music) Me: So you are trying to get the message out into the hands of end users looking to make a buying decision right? So you probably have some Case Studies to share with them? Prospect: No, not today. Me: Ok, then do you have any White papers that you are able to put into the hands of their hands so that they can look at your technical benefits in a detailed manner? Prospect: Afraid we are fresh out. Me: Webinars? Prospect: No Me: Executive white papers? Prospect: No Me: Product Evaluations Prospect: We had one coming, but the truck broke down. Me: How about blogs? Certainly you must have blogs? Prospect: No Me: Product spec sheets? Prospect: Oh yes…! We have those. Me: Super, we can derive content from them and a briefing with your team, can we get some of them to start with? Prospect: Well, they are kind of runny… Me: Oh that’s OK, we like them runny! We can tighten them up for you and deliver them in a way that resonates with your prospective clients. Prospect: Hmmmmm it seems that the cat ate them. Me: Not really much of a cheese shop is it? Prospect: Huh? Did you say cheese shop? Me: Oh, sorry, never mind. You get the idea…and no I did not end the call the same way John Cleese ended the Cheese Shop Sketch in case you were wondering. What I concluded from this call is what many of you may be up against. That your marketing department and sales team do not have anything really to utilize when spreading the message of your company. That is where DCIG can help; we have one of the best selections of content forms you can choose from. DCIG provides content for our clients in many forms: Case Studies, White Papers, Blogs, Executive White Papers, Product Evaluations, and numerous other content generation services. As a company whose analysts are comprised primarily of former end users, we understand what other end users are looking for from a collateral standpoint and deliver a very usable product that is appreciated by our clients for their concise nature and attention to detail. Have a great long weekend! I’m off to look for some cheesy comestibles…….

Social Mania: the Impact of Likes, Posts, and Swipes on Insurance Never Before Has Such a Small Number of Companies Held Such Influence
Social Mania: The Impact of Likes, Posts, and Swipes on Insurance Never before has such a small number of companies held such influence. Silicon Valley’s social media giants connect, inform, anger, and interest billions of people. How can we assess the impact of all those likes, posts, and swipes on the South Africa Neil Parkin Chief Pricing Actuary insurance markets? RGA explores the power, and peril, of several social trends: RGA South Africa Employee Social Endorsement In a Weber Shandwick/KRC Research global survey of 2,300 employees at mid-sized or Cliff Jooste Chief Underwriter larger companies, 50% said they post messages, pictures, or videos about an employer RGA South Africa often or from time-to-time. On the positive side, much of that content involves industry insights that can burnish Belinda Thorpe brand reputation, or workplace posts that can help recruit and retain associates. Research Head of Claims Africa and Middle East demonstrates that commentary and advice from employee experts is far more likely to RGA South Africa be considered authentic and trustworthy within social networks than similar posts from a faceless corporation. In the same survey, 39% of employees shared praise or positive comments online about an employer. Yet social media also presents risks: 16% of respondents in the survey reported sharing criticism or negative comments online and 14% said they posted something in social media about an employer that they regretted. A poorly considered post can generate public backlash and unwanted viral conversations. Furthermore, unauthorized and accidental disclosures of personal and confidential information can also be used in cybersecurity attacks.

Eric Idle Sings Monty Python Download Torrent Monty Python
eric idle sings monty python download torrent Monty Python. Monty Python is a comedy troupe of 4 Englishmen (John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin, Eric Idle), 1 Welshman (Terry Jones) and 1 American (Terry Gilliam), best known for their legendary and influential sketch comedy show "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (which ran for four seasons from 1969 to 1974). The troupe also wrote and starred in the films "And Now for Something Completely Different" (1971), "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975), "Monty Python's Life of Brian" (1979), "Monty Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl" (1982) and "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" (1983). The group formed in 1969 in London, England and ceased normal activity as a comedy troupe in 1983 although the members continue to appear in one another's projects and there have been sporadic reunions since then. The group includes Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle (the trio from Cambridge, who are all taller than all the other members of the group, and known as the more "aggressive" half of the group), Terry Jones (from Wales), Michael Palin (from Oxford) and Terry Gilliam (Minnesota in the United States). Chapman wrote the sketches with Cleese, Jones wrote with Palin, Idle wrote alone and Gilliam did the animations. Neil Innes and Carol Cleveland have both on occasion been mentioned as the "7th Python". Graham Chapman, widely known as "The Dead One", died of cancer on October 4, 1989, the day before Python's 20th anniversary (thus being called "the greatest party pooper of all time" by Terry Jones), is tagged as the greatest actor among the group by his fellow Pythons.
