You need marketing automation even if you sell via a salesforce

A funny thing happened the other day; I bumped into a printer I know at my local pizza place. He was dressed casually and – never expecting to run into him near my home – I didn’t recognize him.

Why are app makers fragmenting their apps?

I was a latecomer to Foursquare - but once I jumped on board and brought my wife along - we both enjoyed the gamification of the check-ins. It inspired a bit of competition between us - we battled weekly to wrangle the mayorship of a local traffic light, among other locations. But no longer.
