I've gotten some good mail in response to my SaaS rants including one from Anthony Iannarino, author of the TheSalesBlog , and another from Vinnie Mirchandani, author of The Deal Architect. The criticisms, in no particular order, include: 1. It’s bad form on my part to go negative against a competitor, Salesforce.com, which ultimately reduces trust in me/Tempworks. 2.

Their sales process seems to be one of slinging as much mud as they can at the wall and seeing how much sticks. How they make money remains a mystery to me, a person who was once a devoted Dice user.

I’m at war with the term SaaS. Over-used, almost meaningless today, it once referred to software-as-a-service – the outsourcing of software-intensive business processes – something that had been around at least a generation before I got involved in it in 1979 when we called it multi-hosting or later multi-tenancy.

At first I couldn't have been more skeptical, but when I read that my friend and search engine expert Nicole St. Martin recommended Jason Alba's stuff at Jibber Jobber I took a harder look. Jason found himself out of work a few years back and turned the situation on its head by becoming a personal branding expert. Along the way he developed a system that I can best describe as a reverse ATS system.

I pride myself on being tight with money. When I bought my first car, an AMC Javelin, it was a wreck that I fixed up myself and came cheap. Before I got married, I saved up for two years to buy a house without a mortgage to avoid title insurance and interest expense. When I started TempWorks, the first year was spent in our finished attic room. Nevertheless, there are things I will spring for that might seem frivolous but I see as essential for business success: 1.

Assumptions can cost you dearly. One I made once almost cost me my life. This story takes place in the Amish country in southern Minnesota near Canton in 1987. I would travel down there periodically from Rochester where my wife was going to Mayo Medical School to buy walnut and cherry wood. The Amish sold their fine hardwoods for about $1 a board foot compared to the $5 to $10 you would pay at a lumberyard, and their wood tended to come from smaller trees that provided unusual grain patterns for

But there is one technique – tabula-rasa - that gets too little attention that has always delivered disproportionately good results for me.
