		<description>Karl this sounds like a GREAT idea. I&#039;ll have to play with it very soon. It sounds a lot like a LinkedIn 2.0.</description>

This looks a great idea, thanks for sharing it... however, I notice it&#039;s for North America... I&#039;m based in the UK... it&#039;s a bit like showing a nice big juicy burger to a burger addict who is on a diet... cruel!</description>

		<description>Hi Karl, 

Thanks for covering Salesconx – we always appreciate feedback and commentary from the sales and marketing community.  

As far as your commentary about whether or not Salesconx will actually work, I can understand your concerns, especially with the Web 2.0 market being as it is right now and with us being a very young organization.  I will say that we have quickly turned into a favorite resource for sales professionals and marketers who are interested in leveraging Web 2.0 to drive lead generation and appointment setting for their organizations.  We are seeing more than a 50% increase in membership each month, and a high margin of repeat buyers and sellers.  We also continue to receive exceptionally positive feedback from members who have recently closed deals with connections acquired with our marketplace.  

I think that one of the most important lessons that we’ve learned is that Salesconx isn’t for everyone – we have some members who are really loving the experience, and others who don’t view us as a viable solution for their needs.  Such being said, in the six short months that we’ve been live, I think that we’ve found a receptive, albeit niche audience that really gets what we’re doing. 

I suppose only time will tell.  Thanks again for your feedback and let us know how Salesconx works out for you. 

Thanks, 

Gina
