December 16, 2010

Introduction

Virtual events can be a dream for marketers.  In 2011, you can leverage virtual events to generate more leads to fuel your sales pipeline.  And, you can qualify those leads “on the spot”, in what I call “accelerated lead generation”.

With a virtual event, you have the opportunity to engage in real-time with your sales leads and review a rich engagement profile that uncovers their degree of interest in your products – and, their position in the sales cycle.

Got marketers on your holiday list?  The printed version of “Generate Sales Leads With Virtual Event” is now available at a list price of $12.99 (UPDATE: the book is now listed for $11.69).
