The Quarterly Newsletter of PJM Consulting

 

FALL 2020

 

 

Welcome to our Fall Quarterly Newsletter. As this worldwide pandemic drags on with no certain end in sight, the abnormal has become normal. I know that many of you have taken actions that you never expected to be necessary to ensure the health of your business. 

 

But life goes on and business must continue. Please let us know about your company's challenges and solutions in this trying time. As always, we're here as a resource to you if there is anything we can do for you.

 

The fall edition of the newsletter again has 3 new articles, as well as our catalog of existing resources.

 

The first article covers the very important topic of positioning strategy in tech companies. Our second article provides our take on a much discussed topic in the tech world - the right time in your life to start up a company. Lastly, our third article discusses the importance of the term "digital transformation" in software and hardware marketing.

 

Please reach out if you'd like to discuss any of our articles - as well as anything else on your mind. Please contact me using the email address or phone number below.

 

Let's now go to the new articles for this quarter:

Take a look at this article for further details as well as the pitfalls of a poor positioning process:  Read Article

There are many articles out there, some opinion and some supported by research, on the best age to found a new startup company. My research uncovered articles professing practically every possible age range as optimal for startup activity. Read on for my review of what I found, as well as my own view on the subject : Read Article

 

Digital Transformation – is it Important in Tech Marketing?

 

The term "digital transformation" has been around for a while now, and is used - and misused - very broadly by vendors and others pushing their wares. Because of it's broad use by customers as well as vendors, ignoring this term is not practical for a large number of hardware and software companies. Read on for a discussion of this topic, including some best practices on its definition and usage: Read Article
