Opportunity of a lifetime!

“So, there’s plenty of bad economic news floating around. From the price of oil to Wall Street to bailouts to the death of traditional advertising.

Which is great news for anyone hoping to grow or to make an impact.

Change (and the fortunes that go with it) is almost always made during the down part of the cycle. It might not be fun, but it’s exciting. (Where do you think Google came from?) The opportunity is to find substantial opportunities (in any field) that deliver real value and have a future. Those jobs/investments/companies/ideas are undervalued right now, but not for long.” Click here to go to the source…

Citrix ‘jumps the shark’ with new pricing model

WebEx Communications

OK, I’m officially pissed. I’ve been a massive Citrix advocate influencing dozens, if not hundreds, for over 5 years since GoToMeeting first came on the scene and I discovered I could deliver high-quality online meetings for a year for the price of one month of WebEx…

Recently, I evaluated GoToTraining and was getting ready to utilize it for my new ‘Social Media Academy’ training program. I was stunned when I saw Citrix’s new pricing model…

GoToWebinar used to seat 1000 people for the flat rate of $99 per month. Now the price is $499. WTH? In a down economy, Citrix is sticking it to their customers with a 500% increase. If you want to train 200 people in GoToTraining it will set you back $349. Only GoToMeeting has held the line on pricing at $49 [although I know a secret that will get you a $39 monthly rate — you’ll have to get me offline for that one!]…

Citrix, it’s bad enough that your reseller program sucks, but this is an over the top stoopid move — you’re no longer on my recommended list of products [Wall Street take note!]…
