Strategy: the grand design, the plan for obtaining a specific goal, such as learning how to sell trucks. Tactics: a set of actions, devices or methods in service of the strategy, such as each day’s coursework in a sales class about how to sell trucks.

The New Robber Barons
November 2006
From Denny Hatch's Business Common Sense
In the late 1970s, I was hired to write a membership mailing for Comp-U-Card, a Stamford, Conn. organization that claimed to have built “a data base of price and product information on approximately 60,000 brand name products.” Consumers could tap into this wealth of information and presumably save many times the $25 membership fee. Goods were shipped directly from wholesalers to the customer. I met briefly with the president, Walter A. Forbes, who was good-looking, articulate and very intense. At one point in our meeting, he took a phone call and asked me to step outside, which I did. When I returned, Forbes told me that

Breeze Through Airport Security! (Hopefully.)
June 2005
From Denny Hatch's Business Common Sense
For Steve Brill and harried airline passengers, this could be really big On October 27, 2001, I took a taxi to Philadelphia's 30th Street Station and boarded a train to Chicago for a direct marketing convention. In the aftermath of 9/11, I was not afraid to fly. Rather, I had heard horror stories about travelers spending four hours dealing with airport security and even then missing their flights. I figured low-key down time on an overnight train was better than eight hours of high tension at PHL and ORD. While on the train, I wrote a piece for Target Marketing magazine's Web site saying
