I’ve eaten at many restaurants and for this post I’ll focus in Indian ones because I know these best. In some I’m confronted by what seems to be hundreds of options and in others somewhat fewer. I’m working on impressions here; I have no inclination to count the options! In my experience the more choices […]

Being an inquisitive chap even way back in 1976 when I entered this industry I kept a log of conversions from ‘prospect’ (that’s the term we use for potential buyers) into clients. The initial results were inconclusive. There were just to many variables. However as the years moved on, I learned more and understood more. […]
