It’s Only Common Sense: If You’re Not Differentiated, You’re Dead
10/13/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense“Good enough” is not good enough in business. Not anymore. “Good enough” is a death sentence in today’s market. Too many companies hide behind their ISO certificates, ITAR registrations, and shiny badges of compliance as if those are supposed to impress customers, but certifications are table stakes.

09/22/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseLet’s get one thing straight: Remote selling isn’t a temporary inconvenience. It’s not a "phase" that magically disappears if you hold your breath long enough. It’s the new playing field, and if you want to win, you’d better learn how to hit the ball in this new ballpark. Selling through a screen is not harder; it’s just different. Different rules, different tools, same game. Connect with people, build trust, solve problems, and earn the deal. The salespeople who master remote selling will eat the ones who don’t for breakfast.
