 customer loved this rep so much they would do anything to help him out. Machines were ordered then they stayed on the pallet on the receiving dock. After a few months, plans would magically change and the box was returned for credit.
Once again, steady use of CRM to document ongoing sales cycles is an effective way to avert this kind of fraud. Last-minute deals, especially ones involving incentive kick-ins or similar perks, should be easy to track in CRM. If they aren’t there, by policy, the deals should be handled on a tentative basis. This isn’t a slap in the face; it’s smart business.
Technology does more than speed things up or help us eliminate mistakes. Technology keeps honest people honest. Selling is so critical to any company, and so much rides on the integrity of the transaction and the people consummating the deal.
A handshake may have been good enough for folks of years past, but today we require more. CRM and CPQ are just two tools that not only reinforce the integrity of the selling process, they help the sales rep close business. It is, after all, the business that owns the data and is incurring the liability for storing that data. mentioned he is playing with the new iPad (sixth generation — “Space Gray” of course!), which supports the Apple Pencil. Gary was just signed to do the 11th edition(!!) of his book, My iPad. And Leo mentioned he likes the cross-platform screencap program, Snagit.
- Randy talked about the successful launch and landing of the Blue Origin rocket, New Shepherd. There’s a nice article on Space News, which also has a brief video recap of the test mission.
- Leo’s Breach of the Week involves Bezop cryptocurrency, but it points more to the Mongo data base platform, since its security is “open” by default. (Bitcoinist article). (Hat-tip to listener Michael in Australia for the sound clip of Kevin’s “Breach of the Week!” bumper.)
- Randy followed on with news that RFID-style hotel room locks are vulnerable, as explained by Gizmodo.
- Gary talked about T-Mobile buying Sprint to be a more viable competitor to AT&T and Verizon (though they have to get approvals from the FCC and DOJ first, as The Verge notes).
- That turned into a discussion of mobile virtual network operators (or MVNOs), and the differing phone standards (GSM vs CDMA), which are not compatible with each other.
- Leo is in awe of not just being able to travel anywhere easily, but he can take his phone with him, and use Google Maps to navigate in foreign countries. Randy noted his wife is currently walking the 500-mile path of the Camino de Santiago, and he can see her pictures every night (and talk to her via Skype or other means). Awesome indeed.
- Randy (and his wife, Kit) have been invited to speak at Mensa’s Annual Gathering (national convention) in Indianapolis in July.
- Last, we only have six ratings on iTunes! We really need more. If you have an iTunes account, please pop over and give us a rating — and, if you have time, a brief review. It really does help bring in new listeners. Thanks!

I am not an Apple person but I got Itunes and an Apple ID and listened to your podcast on Itunes. I have tried repeatedly to leave a rating and comment but have not been successful. I followed the instructions in the help on Itunes and on the web but that didn’t work either. I am sorry but it is frustrating and I might try one more time but no promises.
That IS frustrating! Thanks so much for trying, and no worries if you can’t get it to work.Antiwar March in D.C.
An Iraq veteran being arrested after breaching the barrier.
The police line at the base of the Capitol.
On Saturday, September 15th, an anti-war march was held in Washington D.C. to end the war in Iraq. For several hours speakers like Ramsey Clark and Ralph Nader meandered on with standard calls to pressure the Democrats in Congress - even though the Democrats, just as much as the Republicans, are deeply implicated in the crimes of the war. by mid-afternoon, the crowd began to march from the White House over to the Capitol.
The march ended at the base of the Capitol, where protesters were supposed to create a “die-in” on the lawn by laying down and simulating death. As the crowd built up, though, there was a tangible pressure to “do something” at the walled area the police were using to prevent any further encroachment. A few people breached the barrier, including veterans, and faced immediate arrest by heavily armed police. Otherwise, the mass of people were simply there, with no indication of how any of these efforts would have an effect on war policy.
Eventually ANSWER organizers came around with bullhorns telling everyone to lie down for the die-in, which would represent the pain and suffering caused to Iraqis and in turn make Congress aware of the cost of war. The tense mass pressed against police barriers gradually turned into relaxed groups of people laying around on the grass. The protest rapidly began to disperse in this extremely anti-climatic finale, with a very potent sense the absolutely nothing had been accomplished.
"While no doubt there are many prepared to be arrested and jailed to demonstrate their opposition to this criminal war, the self-sacrifice involved in such actions is misspent to the extent that it is subordinated to the orientation of those like ANSWER, whose aim is to get the Democrats to “stand up.”

She has also held appointments at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and the University of Southern California.

Dos and Donts
Welcome to our discussion forum here on nationnews.com. We encourage lively debate, but we also urge you to take note of the following:6 inches was a pretty common measurement in my fundie circle. A guy and girl could sit next to each other, but had to be 6 inches apart. Even if they weren't courting. Just always 6 inches. This was all the way up until marriage. 

I remember my senior year my youth group took a short trip. I was dating my now husband at the time. (Very much against the wishes of my youth leaders 😂) and they saw us sitting closer than 6 inches to each other
