Sales 2.0: 5 Things You Shouldn't Expect
Here's the good news: Sales 2.0 is good for driving people to you. By simply offering a webinar, a free e-book, a White Paper, or some incentive, you can get folks to your site. If your material is good enough, they will Twitter about you, link to your site, write you up on their blog. You can gather their data, have some sort of passive or active follow up, use the names on an opt-in list, and get hundreds or thousands of new names on your database. If you want new names and a large database, Sales 2.0 is for you. I know many, many marketers pouring their hearts out to develop wonderful content to send out as bait to attract attention.

Latest Fiction for the Sales Force - No More Hunters/Farmers
In 2007 we had to deal with writers proclaiming that sales and the sales force were dead.

The Power of a Sales Playbook Embedding Discipline and Best Practices in Your Sales Force
Sales people have a bad reputation in the business world. With movies like Boiler Room and Glengerry GlenRoss, Hollywood has only reinforced this. Frankly, some of this bad reputation is deserved. In many companies, the sales people may be hitting their numbers, but management knows they are only operating at a fraction of their potential. Is there a way to put discipline into the sales function? Won’t discipline kill the spirit and motivation of a good sales team? Good sales people are typically high-energy, relationship-oriented people with a low tolerance for structure. Their talents lie in handling the nuances of multiple relationships in an uncertain and dynamic environment. A Sales Playbook is the answer.
Clear Goals Need Clear Roles
Job descriptions evolve over time. But all employees, new or old, need to have a clear understanding of their role in a company and what is expected of them. New hires need a starting point for their position. Long-term employees may need guidance about what their continuing role in a company ought to be. In this article, we discuss the importance of defining job role.

Tips For Brainstorming
Brainstorming is one of many creative problem solving techniques. While you can use any size group, we believe it works best when done in a facilitated group of 5-10 people. The more diverse the group the more diverse the input. The group members don't need to be experts in your field. In fact, they don't need to know anything about the problem topic at all! The following steps I use in my Many Good Ideas Brainstorming Seminars:
