Marketing And Sales Development Needs...?

Q: Marketing and Sales Development needs...? If any TorCampers have thoughts about what small tech companies and startups need in terms of sales and marketing management skills development (education, courses, professional development), please respond here on-list or feel free to email me directly at m...@remarkk.com. Are you somebody in the tech sales & marketing field? I need to hear from you especially. I will be sitting with people from the Toronto Board of Trade ICT Advisory committee on this topic on March 6th. I'd appreciate your feedback before then.

A:- Let me know what your need is, for example marketing and sales strategy, marketing program management, sales force management, channel management, sales training, off-shore direct sales (various

markets) and so on. - What I really want to see is some kind of access to IBM's internal sales programs for small Toronto-area startups. That kind of close mentorship, training and professional development would be HUGELY valuable to the wider community of small technology companies who struggle in this area. Tech industry sales is a tough beast, and the little guys could benefit from the experience of the multinationals who have incredible bench strength in this area. How can the schools and the big boys help foster a vibrant cluster of growing small companies for the benefit of all? - Just to be clear Mark.. are you seeking VAR training programs from OEM ?
