At best, what you can do is help direct which way you'd like the discussion to go - almost like a discussion leader would do in a group setting. You can't dictate what people will say, but you can at least give them some direction. This is what Tiger should have realized right away - sadly he didn't, so the message went anywhere and everywhere with no direction coming from Tiger.

This post on giving directions stirred up a little controversy, so I'm happy to share a new study that clears up the question of east/west vs. left/right a little. We each have different preferences for how we like to give and receive directions, but a combination of both "route perspective" and "survey perspective" can be helpful.

The game, I have observed, is more direct. The Wall Street Journal coverage of the Brooks Brothers bankruptcy mentions several lawyers who no longer suit up for success. Instead they wear casual attire. Yes, even lawyers. And although Brooks Brothers added that category to its traditional suit niche the competition in casual was better at it than they.    Brooks Brothers also parachuted into ecommerce. About a fourth of its sales came from that.

But, there's something more both groups are doing that gives insight about Facebook as a platform for promotion. That's loading those videos right onto Facebook versus in the format of YouTube or Vimeo. The statistic is 90%.

  Underlying this push-back against a social network which is perceived to be extremist is the age-old issue: Can there be a direct correlation between words and action?  Smart media and business guidance could have kept social network Gab in the safe-content box. However, the newbie, launched in 2016, allowed its posters to stray too far out of the box with rhetoric that was assessed to encourage violence. Now, reports TechCrunch , Gab is over.

That's exactly what happened when I contacted Direct-TV for a second time. Standard in sales, even at call centers, is to train in upselling and cross-selling. Usually attached is an increased commission, so the practice seems attractive to newbies. Soon enough, they frequently find themselves losing the original sale when they get cute with upticks and add-ons. The first time was just for basic information. The second time I was in a purchase mode.
