The Generalist vs. The Specialist
Once upon a time there were three businesses. They sold the same types of products in the same geographic area. But there were big differences in the way they presented themselves to their prospects.

Almost all of us love to play games. Toddlers are intrigued by games of manipulating colorful shapes. Seniors crowd bingo halls.
