I have exciting news to share. We’re proud to be a sponsor of the Sales Lead Management Association, and it gives me great pleasure to let you know about the July 29^th premiere broadcast of SLMA Radio in which I’ll be interviewed along with Phil Fernandez, CEO of Marketo.

SLMA Radio programs will include recent industry news as well as interviews with B2B and B2C industry leaders who will share expertise in areas like lead generation, inquiry management, CRM and marketing automation.

Commenting on the format in a July 20^th release, James W. Obermayer, SLMA executive director, said:

"Well-known radio commentator Will Crist will be our host and interviewer. We'll cover recent industry news and interviews with business leaders. This is not simply blog radio or a podcast; it's the new live web radio with all of the quality you expect from a professional radio program."

And noting that membership is not required for listening, SLMA vice president of marketing, Sue Campanale, added:

"This show is open to SLMA members and non-members alike; anyone interested may listen in. Recorded broadcasts will also be archived on the SLMA site."
