Could it be that marketing and sales biggest problem is that it really doesn’t take anything to become a marketer or sales person. Granted many marketers can go to school for marketing and get and MBA, but there are also many people who are not trained. Just a self-proclaimed “Marketing Expert” or a self-proclaimed “Sales Expert”, that’s all it takes. In sales case, there really isn’t a college or university offering sales training or diplomas.

Today I was checking out linkedin and I connected with someone who requested a connection. Linkedin dropped me into the people you might know section so I started looking for any quick connections I should have. I saw a designer I used to run into about 9 years ago when I was new to Fort Worth and networking like crazy to drum up new business.
