Gartner Magic Quadrant-Does it Always Make Sense? Bay Area Inbound
Posted by Laurie Monahan on Mon, Feb 04, 2013 @ 10:55 AM
Recently I was working with Gartner Research Analysts for a tech client. One of the Gartner Analysts came in and told us that we need to broaden the client's product to include everything that the larger companies provide in their offerings if we want to be placed any where other than the "Niche" space which is bottom left of the Magic Quadrant.

Top 10 Free Activities in the Bay Area for Kids and Adults
Posted by Laurie Monahan on Mon, Oct 15, 2012 @ 09:20 AM
We are so fortunate to live in the SF Bay Area, the weather is nice almost every day of the year. There is great ethnic diversity so we have many cultural activities and great ethnic food choices. We have both beaches and mountains, so we have so many places to enjoy nature, we are truly spoiled. Ok, we do pay more for less when it comes to real estate than almost anywhere else. So its important that we take advantage of all the great free activities we have that are right under our noses.
They say the best things in life are free and I agree with that, think about God, Family, Friends, love, sports, nature, and here are quite a few more you can enjoy in the Bay Area...Tags: Bay Area Inbound, marketing consultants in SF, Inbound Marketing Consultants, free things to do in Bay Area, Activities for Kids in Bay Area
Top 10 Things to Do with Kids in Monterey, Bay Area Inbound
Posted by Laurie Monahan on Sat, Oct 13, 2012 @ 10:15 PM
My husband and I took our honeymoon in Monterey. It was perfect, we had very little time to take off as I was working at a new job, and he was in busy season as an Accountant. We only took 3 days off. His parents suggested we go to Monterey and Carmel, and they said we would probably want to go back over the years. They were right, we have been back many, many times. And we've taken our kids every time since we had them.
