  1. “Am I dealing with prospects who are even capable of buying? Just because a prospect gives you time to talk doesn’t mean they fit your profile.” Mark Hunter offers 10 Questions to Ask Yourself When You Can’t Close.
  2. I don’t agree with everything Seth Godin says here, but this line stuck: “Of course, people have been blocking ads forever. By ignoring them.” Seth discusses Ad Blocking.
  3. With this startling opening:  “If your sales lead is one hour old, you’re about to make a cold call,” Roy Williams, the Wizard of Ads, gives us a crash course on How the Internet Has Changed Us, and what it means for those of us who work in marketing, advertising, and sales.
  4. Not really a “sales” article, except for this: if you are on the road a lot, you find yourself in public restrooms on an almost daily basis. If you’ve ever wondered Which Gets Hands Cleaner: Paper Towels or Air Dryers? Melissa Dahl has an answer for you.
