Jen-
Excellent points across the board. Recommending a 'best practice' with the expertise to back it up is pure gold. The only sell in this regard is letting the customer know that you indeed have that particular expertise. That is the value proposition many printers could use.

Hate the snarky white board comments, though. It is just a distraction.

Robert,

Thanks for the feedback. When a printer has truly fallen in love with their customer's problems it shows up everywhere. Its all they talk about. Its who they are. You can't get them to shut up about it. Until they do this, they are searching for that thing that "defines" their value proposition.

Adding a little humor works for some, not all.

I like humor...

One man's snarky white board comments, is another man's break from the mundane. Not to say you're mundane Jennifer, but rather the juxtaposition you're presenting makes me laugh. It tells me that you're an "alternative thinker", you're going to challenge people to think differently and see an a different viewpoint - your body of work bears that out as well. That being said, there are certainly topics on the "gag" side of these presentations that could be a slippery slope.
