The 10 best strategic business slides of all time: #2 — Six buying roles
Nigel Malone keeps his favourite ten keynote slides related to strategic business development – his “Ten Commandments” – close to his chest at all times. Okay, sometimes he puts them down to bathe, but they are never far from his thinking. His favourite slide number 2 is Wind and Webster’s ‘Six buying roles’ model.

Anthill print back issues in the bargain basement basket already? That didn’t take long.
Anthill print editions always had a pass-on rate — i.e. how many people read the same copy — that was well above the industry average. In other words, they had a great shelf life. However, it seems that, in some people at least, the desire to continue sharing Anthill back issues is more pressing than the desire to wait patiently for their collection to mature into a golden egg.
