The program I am referring to is the CRM program. More than one of my clients has a sales manager that wants his salespeople to use the system, but he or she won’t use it themselves. They can’t coach salespeople to use it and most just wink at salespeople when marketing people plead for them to close out the leads so marketing can put an ROI figure on campaigns.
Hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars are spend on a CRM program that has high hopes, but no support from the most important potential sponsor and user, the sales manager. Without a buy-in from sales management, many CRM programs fail miserably and coincidentally so do the sales managers.
I have my own ideas, but can someone give our membership some of your own wisdom on how you over-came the resistance of the sales manager? Tell us a story of the circumstance and what you did to succeed.
Good entry. I appreciate you for posting it. Keep up the fine blogging.

The proper files were still web web. I thought it was strange, and even after changing the group as your instructions said, there was no change in how this displayed in both putty and filezilla. However, I tested uploading to my blog and it worked like a charm! I am not sure what is going on with the group thing, but somehow it must have worked. I’m curious as to what the deal is with that. In any case, Thank you so much!

Pretty insightful post. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you! Keep it up

Amazing, totally awesome. I am just getting into writing articles myself, nothing remotely close to your writing potential (ha!) but I'd love for you to take my stuff someday!
