Re: Quake in Japan
(Updates with Honda, Nissan closures beginning in fifth paragraph. See {EXT2 } for reports on the quake.) March 11 (Bloomberg) -- Companies including Sony Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp. halted output at plants after an 8.9- magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, damaging production facilities and causing power outages.

Re: Global buysCOMDOC...yes you heard correct!

Re: Leads, Do you get them?
I don't work for a dealer but I am convinced that unless the deals are in a real remote area, 98% of the leads are going to the direct ops.

Re: Linked In Generating Leads "updates"
I recently took the basic premium membership about 30 days ago. This enabled me to see everyone who took a look at my profile. so far I've connected with 4 new (potential prospects) and one prospect who is in the market for a copier. I saw that they viewed my profile and then asked to be connected and in the "inmail" asked if there is anything I can help with. Art

Re: Linked In Generating Leads "updates"
My profile is one big copier advertisement. I use blog links on my profile offering advice on what we offer, and a Buyer's Guide. I also interact on LinkedIn groups in my city to connect with business owners. I've yet to generate solid prospects from LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a good tool to discover more about your prospects than to actually contact them. If anyone has ideas, I'd love to try them out.

Re: Linked In Generating Leads "updates"
I get involved in message boards or threads and share my $0.02 to the point that some folks ask me to come in for an appointment/assessment. I have also generated leads keeping in touch with all of my customers on LinkedIn so if they do indeed change jobs they always know where to find me even if they don't have my card from their previous job

Re: Why We Still Need Legacy Sales Skills
Art Here is my two cents worth. What goes around comes around in this world. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later. If and when we get to the point of people totally taking out the human to human contact in the sales process, they will then begin to miss that same human to human contact, and start to look to regain it. Its my belief that we will begin to see that very soon in things like facebook. Its a great way to help stay in touch with people. But once people begin to use it to avoid each...
