Without blogs I would still be working as a leader for someeone else. Instead I am part of a revolution in sales inspiring opportunity. My life is immersed in this and my passion for work and life is like never before.

The only thing I will add is that I believe there is a difference between the US and UK in terms of sales people adapting to the new world. Although I've not carried out any survey or scientific analysis my experience of talking to my customers tells me that the UK is lagging the US... certainly in the sales arena... sales guys over here seem allergic to the web... brings them out in spots or something similar. My only other comment is you are a little advanced for most and I have to agree with the comments of your new friend, Paul, it's going to take time and there is an avalanche of offerings are coming out all the time and just keeping pace is time consuming. In summary, I agree with the sentiment of your message and then temper it with some of the realism that Paul mentions... and bingo! Karl
