February 4th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Entrepreneurship, Marketing Techniques and Philosophies, Networking

I read a lot of business books, and too many of them are so dry you could use them for sawdust. Last year, I happened to meet Kevin Daum at a dinner party Sam Horn threw in Washington, DC (where neither of us live) and we connected quickly and personally. Kevin is a sales and [...]
