The Bob Beck Strategy
Posted by Colin Wilson
In Oct 08
I’ve been coaxed out of my self imposed hibernation from updating my blog… although self imposed due to many customer commitments I have never the less not enjoyed the period of neglect. I’m not a natural born writer and the time it takes to write comes at a price to other commitments. Therefore, if I wanted to quickly update my blog I could have employed the ‘Bob Beck Strategy’.
My fellow blogger and friend - Skip Anderson - has brought to my attention dear Bob’s strategy… it appears it is founded on plagiarism… now, using other people’s work for a quick blog is one thing, but claiming it as your own is something else… and what’s worse is employing plagiarism to produce work and then selling it as your own work… now that is not nice.
To make it clear… this is not my story; I’m just reporting it… I am not claiming it as my own work… the original comments can be found at…

Skip Anderson’s Selling to Consumers - Bob Beck: An Apparent Case of Plagiarization
Dave Stein’s Commentary on Sales leadership - An Open Message to Sales Trainers, Authors and Experts
Dave’s post offers some advice on how to check if your work is being plagiarised and one of the comments on the post from Ian Brodie also offers some good advice.
