A promising B2B prospect has reached the point where they are ready to make contact. They have read enough to understand the offer, checked that the business appears credible and perhaps even discussed the purchase internally. Then they meet a form asking for their company size, annual turnover, budget, job title, preferred callback time, current

Some photographs stop people in their tracks for ten seconds. Others quietly convince someone to spend thousands of pounds without a second thought.

Some team photos manage to make perfectly capable adults look like they have been summoned for jury duty. Everyone is upright, polished, and faintly alarmed.
