in Social Media a time waster for Sales Reps? Not Until YouTwitFace shows up. on Pretzel Logic
Hey there -- thanks for including my suggestions in your overview of social media for sales. I have gotten a very strong response to that post, as well as my "Three Phases of Social Media." Here's the link:

Also, agree completely with your assertion that a sales rep who wants to be distracted will find lots of things other than sales to occupy his/her time.

in What’s the Future of D.C. Technology? on Social Times
As a service provider to the DC region's technology community, this is obviously an important issue for my firm. I have two thoughts about the ingredients necessary for a vibrant community:

1. It's ultimately about the quality of management who run our region's emerging growth companies. I recently wrote about this in follow-up to a meeting I had with the new CEO at Reston-based CorasWorks:

2. A strong desire to take risks. In a meeting with a client this week who is very much a serial entrepreneur we talked about this issue. He said that VCs in this region swing for doubles, while in the Valley it's about the big score. Even if that means a majority of a VC firm's investments eventually don't work out.
