No More Cold Calling

What a roller coaster—this up and down economy—2001, 2002, then the Recession of 2008-09. The same “8 Killer Steps” that I talked about in 2001, 2002, and again in 2008 and 2009 still apply!

To no surprise, a substantial decline occurred following the bursting of the technology bubble and recession in 2001, with a second more severe decline into the Great Recession in 2009. The good news is that most analysts are predicting 4-5% growth for 2011. This was not the case with many other groups like sales and marketing.
