LeapComp - Sales Performance Management Blog

I’ve been too busy to write regularly on this blog and now I’m getting in ‘another thing’.  I can’t believe I’m taking on anymore ‘work’, but I think this one could actually be really fun. Paul Hebert of I2I brought together a group of thought leaders in different areas of business and influence and started the Influence Insiders.

The Influence Insiders BlogTalkRadio show will be the first Wednesday of every month, 12:00-1:00 pm eastern time.  Our first show will be this coming Wednesday, so don’t miss it!

We’ve set up our station at: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/i2i

The call in number will be the same for every episode: (646) 381-4430

Influence Insiders is a core group of experts, bloggers, thought leaders and smart folks who will be getting together monthly to talk about the things that challenge them and their clients associated with engaging audiences. The line up is impressive and should provide all of us with some interesting points of view.
