There are several rules in life…
-
Efforts
are rewarded in many mysterious ways, and
-
We
share at least 50% of the blame.
Yet as we approach the holiday season we hang our business
stocking by the chimney with care with the hopes that many blessing will
be there (… or will they).
Outsource providers have faced the sobering realities of
2009 are wishful that prosperity will return. Yet as we look for good
boys and girls are they ready for a stocking of joys or one of disappointment?
As Santa is scanning the list he sees some things…
-
Someone
has relied on others to sell your services for a future fee,
-
Little
Miss Outsourcer thinks the world is her oyster so a global website will reach
everyone,
-
Andy
Arbitrage is looking for a deal and Oliver Offshore is more than accommodating
even if at a loss (maybe with secondary hopes that change will allow him to
recover a wee bit),
-
Gary
Global is using his local sales experience to expand globally… sales are sales
(right?),
-
Nancy
Nearshore is about delivery, if she delivers she will have a strong
business. In the meantime her vision of the future is only a wish, and
-
Norman
Naïve trusts his new friend Steven Swindler… why ask for a credit check or an
upfront fee (this makes Steven very happy!).
Do you think that these children deserve a special holiday
cheer or do they need to learn a lesson? Let’s see whether their conduct
and their yuletide gift will have any effect on their New Year’s Resolutions.
