The Brooks Group

At the most recent Sales 2.0 conference , there was reference made to the number of salespeople in the United States. We were told that there were 18 million salespeople in the United States and that, by 2020, there would only be 3 million.

Medical Device Success

Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes. Nothing like a long flight from Europe to crank out a couple blog posts. “Medical Devici” is not a misspelling. It is my new word of the community of medical device people.

Sales 2.0 Conference Report

The Brooks Group

I attended my second Sales 2.0 Conference last week. It was a great experience. And now it’s time to report. I’ve finally unburied myself from a week’s worth of snail mail (awkwardly the 1.0 world continued even as I immersed myself in the 2.0 world!)
