The Upside: Killer Sales Tips from the folks at Glance Networks

This past week we held our first ever Glance-hosted webinar on how to host a great web demo. We were delighted to have 300 people register, and to have the event go smoothly (almost) all the way to the end.

Coincidentally, the word “webinar” was just recently announced as a new official entry into the Merriam-Webster dictionary, along with 100 other new words, including edamame, wing nuts, subprime, and my personal favorite—mondegreen.  Mondegreen refers to “a word or phrase which results from a mishearing of something heard or sung.” Remember the Beatles’ song “Lucy in the sky with diamonds,” which the Peanuts cartoon generation interpreted as “Lucy in the sky with Linus?”  And how about the Creedance Clearwater Revival song, “There’s a bathroom on the right,” instead of “There’s a bad moon on the rise”?  My childhood mondegreen was trying to figure out who that “Richard Stands” was in the Pledge of Allegiance.  Remember that phrase about the “republic, for which it stands…?”  My kids used to sing “It’s a Smaller Dum de Dum,” instead of It’s a Small World After All,” after a trip through the famed ride in DisneyWorld. And I’ll bet you can think of a few mondegreens from your past as well.
