Letter From The Editor: Tweet vs. Sell or If You're Blogging How Can You Be Closing!

Five Tipping Points for You to Decide.
There is a real divide between business people who swear by and swear at Web 2.0.
 
To Social media "moguls", even questioning Web 2.0 is so old-school! They say,"Unless you get known and seen on your blog, their blogs, tweet about it and post on LinkedIn and Facebook, you will never get credible as an expert or grow your brand with prospects!"

       even at higher rates
  -  The political insanity to stop
Well, they and it won't.

You Must Understand,
We All Wear Many Hats Here
 
Are you wearing too many hats?If you run or work with a small business, how many times have you said or heard the phrase, "We all wear several hats" to explain how work gets done? In these times, everyone is working harder and doing more with less. But in this ADD world of constant distractions, when are multiple hats more of a burden than a blessing?
