Happy to reconnect with Amanda who used to work for Salesforce.com.before she move to RingLead.com  (see photo)

Got a marketing award from Brand Quarterly magazine in 2014 which has been all over Twitter recently which says I’m one of the Top 50 Marketing Thought Leaders over 50 for Brand Quarterly magazine. Thanks @alansee and @fionavesey for that great honor, which I really appreciate.

I also have over 2,600 LinkedIn connection now and I love them all. There is a button at the top to View my LinkedIn profile, which is a blogging best practice. Feel free to connect with me.

We do accept guest posts. by the way. Find New Customers is now on Google and Bing Maps as well,. so just type Find New Customers into your favorite mapping software.

In addition to my great award and my guest post, I am a 1982 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a BBA in Marketing and this is a lifetime commitment to my alma mater, just like all my roommates and the huge Notre Dame family. Never missed a game as a student and never has as a grad either and I never will.

In fact, one of my ND roommates visited me in the hospital last year when I was in very bad shape, but that’s another story for another post.

Notre Dame won the ACC in college basketball on Saturday night. Even got a text from my brother Mike congratulating me. Notre Dame made the Final Four when I was a senior in high school, and I foolishly thought it would happen often. It didn’t but maybe this year it will.

It was a great win for the Irish and this grad is very happy now.

I may have fallen and forgotten some things, but I know I am a Notre Dame grad and the Fighting Irish basketball team is going to the tournament!

I’m also a member of the Notre Dame Club of Tampa Bay, and Notre Dame grad Doctor David Tulsiak is a dear friend who drove me home recently when I had a bit too much to drink. Thank you so much, David. My Passat is now back and looks better than ever!
