A few weeks ago I was digging around one of my favorite sales and marketing tools, LinkedIn (my LinkedIn Lead Gen Tips ), and noticed the Company Stats area. It shows statistics on things such as Job Function, Years Experience, Growth, etc. and compares company stats to those of their peers in the industry. Looking at the charts for Green Leads, the issue of "Years Experience" stood out to me because Linda and I have been discussing the topic during our recent hiring efforts.

Craig Rosenberg, the demand gen expert from Focus.com recently asked me to participate in putting together the eBook, The Focus Experts Guide: Sales and Marketing Pipeline and Funnel. Despite my whimsical title for this blog article (little link-baiting), the eBook is full of industry expert's takes on today's sales and marketing's demand gen and selling flow -- the path from universe to prospect to client.

Today I'm attending New Marketing Lab's Inbound Marketing Summit at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro (killer spot for a conference, btw). Highlight of the day is always Chris Brogan's down to earth, almost "stand up" quality talks. He is always insightful, practical, and spot on with his delivery. I thought it would be useful to create a Twitter List of the #IMS10 Speakers.

As many of you would expect, Green Leads consumes prospect lists at a rate that far exceeds most outbound marketing efforts. With over 30 clients running their appointment setting programs through us, having volumes of accurate contact names is essential to our business. As a result, we've got licenses with Jigsaw , OneSource and NetProspex , and we use LinkedIn and other contact discovery services.
