I have found the book perfect for these economic times. The book will
show you how, to take more from the market than the market is prepared
to give you buy out strategizing, out managing, and outselling your
competitors.

Rather than writing about rehashed sales and sales management
methodologies, the author, Dirk Beveridge went to the heart of the
issue of sales performance and productivity, by researching – what is
it that separates those businesses who consistently outperform their
competitors. And what he found is gold.

The research led to defined best practices that are spelled out in
this book that form a roadmap for you and your organization. A
roadmap for significant top and bottom line sales results.

But more than a listing of best practices, you will hear the stories
of execution, stories of performance and success, providing a unique
insight that you’ll immediately relate to your business.

Now, there are no quick-fix-promises as part of what you’ll find in
this book, but you will want your entire management team to immerse
themselves in the provided wisdom and implementation tools. Then as a
team, together you can use the implementation roadmaps provided to
guide you in:

* Institutionalizing a differentiating sales process
* Developing and nurturing a high performance sales culture where
the team is committed to your vision
* Guide you in implementing a training and development program to
foster continuous skill development – even from your veterans.
* And… this book will show you how, to take more from the market
than the market is prepared to give you buy out strategizing, out
managing, and outselling your competitors.

Social media is here to stay. So how do we avoid throwing good money after bad when it comes to social networking or social media campaigns? B.L. Ochman, president of Whatsnextonline.com, has been creating new media marketing and online brand strategy since 1995. Here are her six myths around social media:

1. Social media is cheap, if not free.
Yes, many of the tools that can be employed in social media marketing are free to use. However, integrating these tools into a corporate marketing program requires skill, time, and money.

2. Anyone can do it.
A surfeit of whiz kids and more experienced marketers are claiming to be social media experts and even social media gurus.

3. You can make a big splash in a short time. Sure, sometimes a social media campaign can produce substantial and measurable results quickly. Social media is great if you’re already a star, but that doesn’t happen overnight.

4. You can do it all in-house. Wrong!

5. If you do something great, people will find it. Quite simply, that never was true.

6. You can’t measure social media marketing results. You can use a variety of methods, including mentions on blogs and in media; comments on the content; real-time blog advertising results, and click-throughs to your company Web site.
