My question is how do you get decison makers who are time starved to stop their busy schedule long enough to read your blog? Thanks! Kenny I agree that there is a growing place for blogs in the prospecting process. My question is how do you get decison makers who are time starved to stop their busy schedule long enough to read your blog?

Thanks!

I have long been a blogger (at least since before it was called blogging, back in 1999 and 2000) though the nature of my posts was not at all related to sales- I was a high schooler exploring new social networks in the area of track and field...though the skills I learned there will prove invaluable and help me be expedient in my transformation to top biller at my current job, I don't think the site (www.livejournal.com) is going to be nearly as helpful as one that I am undoubtedly missing. Don't hesitate to e-mail me any suggestions- I'll continue to check back with you but there is no need to wait for your next post to share this information- which is greatly appriciated. Mr. Hunter,

You make a great clarification. I agree that blogs increasingly are one of the best avenues to not only share vital info, but also to learn. You've given me a good idea for a future blog posting... to differentiate blogs from other social media and how they can be used effectively! Thanks again... Thanks for the comment Todd!

The day will soon come when EVERY sales rep has a blog. It too will be "in addition to," not "instead of" current vehicles to communicate with customers and prospects. The 24 X 7 X 365 nature of the tools is too compelling to ignore. Todd Mark,
