The other day I was talking to one of my long-standing clients and he asked whether I could remind him of my story on hunting bears.

The reason was quite simple… his sales team were going every which way in their search for prospects using every device, traditional and digital, under the sun. They needed to settle down and have a system.

Happy to oblige, I reminded him of that old metaphor, birds of a feather flock together.

And it’s the same with bears. Bears of a fur gather togeth-ur (you gotta say it to get the rhyme!).

So, find one bear in the forest…

Because bears are gregarious. They live and love, dance and sing, eat and drink, work and play together.
