Battle Strategy Aficionado Pillows

Battle of Gettysburg - Longstreet's Charge

The Businessmen Have to Make Decisions from Many Options

A fight in the Boardroom.

"'Quid pro quo' is a no-no, Bradbury. Around here we say 'reciprocal altruism'."

'Ah, Galagher, we made good use of your proposal.'

"...but the big question is, does the competition know that we don't know what we don't know?"

After a day long meeting, the decision, as usual, is made in the hallway.

"Peterson proposes we move out of the mountains."

'Our problem is how to lower quality while raising prices...'

"So let's roll up our sleeves and show that America still builds the world's greatest advertising."

Target your customer.

'General, please hire large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny.'

'What are we, wimps? Are we gonna let a bunch of rabbits push us all over the field? Come on, big guys.'

"Now I'll demonstrate how, with a minimum of capital investment, you can make a mountain out of a molehill!"

'We took the old plan, folded in half, and now it's the new plan.'

Maybe it's now time to review our customer care strategy!"

"It's not bulls**t if we call it strategy."

"Tonight we dine with the devil. But tomorrow we really need to finish what's left in the fridge."

Business Target

Game changing

'We're well positioned, but we lack leadership.'

"When it comes to online marketing, I'm puzzled."

'Good news from the field, sire! Attila did not like the referee's call, so he's folding up his tents, taking his ball and going home!'

'I have no one to blame but myself, for now.'

'You should agree with me, but not all the time, Try mixing it up a little,'

Challenge and solution

"Hail, Caesar! The barbarians have been beaten back, and Rome is still Numero Uno."

Think Tank.

Thinking both inside and outside the box.

'With 5% spent on talent, 5% on production, and 90% on marketing...I smell WINNER!'

'Alternatively you can just focus on the CUSTOMER!'

'Sir, the company's had another successful month treading water.'

'It takes great courage of conviction to know you're wrong, yet still proceed forward.'
