sales: Seeking Your Ideas and Perspective - Planning for 2012 and Beyond - 01/07/12 02:49 PM
If you don't mind, I'd love to hear some input and perspective from you. I have a number of decisions on my mind with our company, and I would welcome any helpful advice/direction. Please note that I said "helpful". :) I'm editing this opening paragraph now that I've finished writing the rest of the post and I realize that some of the stuff I wrote below seems a little disjointed.

sales: Do you want an agent in a suit and/or tie? If so, I am probably not the one to call - 07/03/09 09:49 AM

sales: Best networking ideas? - 08/07/07 07:30 PM
I was curious to hear what has worked best for you when networking (outside of the internet).  I am trying to train my agents (we have about 20) not to depend too heavily on internet leads, and I would love to hear some ideas from you guys with regard to what has been successful.  I have a good number of ideas and books on the subject, but I am curious.
