I bet I can diagnose your learning style with three questions. Where do you sit when you attend an in-person meeting? What do your eyes do when you're explaining something?

Years later, I was chastened to learn my hocus-pocus wasn't real.

It is a well-known fact that when budgets get tight, marketing is usually one of the first departments to suffer cuts, and market research in particular! Why is this? I believe it is because their ROI is longer-term and often difficult to prove. They therefore make the perfect target for sweeping reductions. What they all need is a strategic growth blueprint.
