“Should You Buy the Book? Yes. Get this book. You’ll get a
roadmap of what to do. No matter what kind of business you have --
the public is increasingly going online. On the Web they are looking for
products and services to buy; reading reviews and recommendations of
other people; and becoming part of online communities that increase
their loyalty to the businesses that create such communities. Inbound
Marketing will help you put it all together”

lead.

9% more sales reps make quota, and enjoy a 10% shorter ramp up time
for new reps.
