Hope the Blog is going well for you. Thanks for “putting” so much of yourself out-there. Could you ever imagine having to retract a statement because you “mis-spoke”? Crazy days indeed!

I couldn’t be more thrilled for you relative to “finding your bliss” and founding NxtERA. Well, it might not be “bliss,” but at least following your passion! Yours is a powerful voice in the marketing community and I too look forward to frequent visits to your blog.

Best of luck!!!!

Doug – Thanks for your comment and good wishes. Good questions… I suppose that there’s some self-selection here… The marketers that are going to WANT to work with me will want to make progress toward being more customer-focused. In terms of industries and verticals, I’d say that companies in services industries are farther along, but there is a tremendously long way to go. The product-oriented mindset runs very deep. I’ll put some more thought into some of these questions and post ideas to the blog. Keep following and maybe we can get a discussion going and move the market forward.

Best of luck with NxtERA. Question regarding your comment (which I am COMPLETE agreement with) “…few marketers really walk the “customer first” or “customer-centric” (you pick the cliche) talk.”

So, now as a consultant entrepreneur, what avenues will you pursue to find those marketers that actually DO walk the walk or are at least truly ready to begin? Where do these people congregate? What are the signs of the customer-centric inflection point being reached or near? Are there early indicators? Are their industries/verticals where this may be more imminent? Is there a quick litmus test to separate the walkers from the talkers?

Curious….

Again, best of luck with your new endeavor. I’m certain your shoes will be hard to fill in Cambridge.
