An informative chat that looks at how social marketing is more like networking then classic sales. kevin talks about how “giving it forward” is a great way to get into social communication and the pitfalls of looking at social marketing as just another way to sell to people. Here is Kevin Knebl’s website/blog for more information and updates.

Get Ready for Change Your Concept of Work

November 22, 2011 in Book Review, General Business, Managment, New Thinking

I have the opportunity to chat with Douglas Craver again and he does not disappoint. Through our talk I discover some of the teachings in this great book. A straight shooting style of book with a lot of great wisdom throughout the book. Find out how “work as we know it” is changing and needs to change even more. Though the books authors are deeply involled in the highly technical coding industry it does not read as a highly technical jagged. As Douglas Says, “They just get to the point”.
