Wanna Come? I’m Having Dinner With President Barack Obama!

Dinner With President Barack Obama

Congratulate me. I’m about to have dinner with President Barack Obama.

No kidding. Just yesterday, Vice President Joe Biden dropped me a line telling me that my chance at dinner with Barack Obama—yes, that Barack Obama—was as good as anyone’s and all I need to do to get that dinner with the President is contribute five dollars.

And in very tiny print, I saw I could have dinner with President Obama without even paying that five bucks!:

Negotiation 101: Use Every Tool You Have for Business Change

Posted on March 16, 2011 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 4 Comments

Negotiation is simple: He who has the best information wins.

I’ve said that for—yikes—decades, and something I read last week made me realize just how important the idea is.

This piece in Inc. is about “Five Things You Should Never Say While Negotiating”. Of course, there are more; negotiation is one of those “simple yet complex” topics that defies being put in so small a box as this. But the point is simple: you need to know when not to tell the person you’re negotiating with what’s on your mind. ...

Barack Obama, Lady Gaga, Megan Fox: Your Facebook Friends

Posted on July 21, 2010 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 3 Comments

What’s huge, takes up too much of your time, and delivers a constant stream of information you don’t want?

Facebook.

“The” Social Networking Site accounts for fully one in every fourteen pages viewed on the Internet, and if you use Facebook you’ve noticed that a lot of what it thinks should be important to you just plain isn’t. Yesterday, Facebook decided that since I follow The President of The United States, I’d be interested in Lady Gaga and Megan Fox:

Barack Obama Is The Best Negotiator In History. Here’s Why.

Posted on June 17, 2010 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 6 Comments

When I grow up, I want to be half as adept as President Barack Obama is at the art of business negotiation.

In announcing his agreement with British Petroleum getting the oil conglomerate to put aside $20 billion to fund clean-up and damages from the oil spill from BP ‘s well in the Gulf of Mexico, President Obama pointed out that by law, BP’s liability was technically limited to just $75 million. While there’s no way BP would have gotten away with hiding behind that shield, they could have just waited until the lawsuits started rolling in and dealt with them then. And they’ll have to anyway, so why give up $20 billion ahead of time? ... READ MORE of Barack Obama Is The Best Negotiator In History.

Is a Corporation Really The Same as a Person?

Posted on March 10, 2010 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 1 Comment

President Obama is in a war of words with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. I find it unseemly, but that’s not important.

I bring up the subject because I happened across this article in today’s New York Times, and attached to it was a (slightly off-topic) comment on the Supreme Court’s ruling of last January that essentially gave corporations the right to make unlimited campaign contributions. And it asked a reasonable enough question:

Congress, Business Change, Health Care Reform and California

Posted on February 22, 2010 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 1 Comment

Something’s gotta give. Something is going to. Business Change isn’t just an idea; it’s become an imperative.

In a world where the health care we provide for people isn’t even good enough for animals, where famous columnists like Nicholas Kristof and economists like Paul Krugman—very different guys with diverse right and left leanings— are stating the same thing, it’s time. ...

More on Medical Reform: What Doctors Are Doing Wrong

Posted on September 14, 2009 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 2 Comments

This post may be a bit self-serving; one of the things we do here is medical practice management, and I’m going to talk about a very large problem that many doctors have in running their practices.

We’re hearing more and more stories of doctors who “can’t make ends meet”. And the stories are true, to a point; established businesses are getting into trouble because the manner in which they DO business is collapsing in on them.

Why? Because their business is changing and they don’t know how to use those changes in their favor. ...

Has President Barack Obama Offered Health Care Reform?

Posted on September 10, 2009 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 1 Comment

“YOU’RE A LIAR”

OK, so that clown has had his moment in the sun under the magnifying glass. Let’s move on.

I’m not sure we’ve really seen much of a proposal from President Obama on Health Care Reform. Oh, he’s given us an outline now, and it goes way farther than we had heard, details-wise, when I last wrote on this subject. But the details are still short, and President Obama’s Health Care Reform Opponents still have plenty to complain about. And complain they will. Out loud. And you’ll listen. ...
