Carnival of Sales & Management Success - June 28, 2008

Welcome to the June 28, 2008 edition of Carnival of Sales & Management Success. This is the first of the new every two week format for this carnival. So far I am happy with the results because I think I have been able to select much higher quality content with a deeper pool to pull from. This issue there were 60 submissions and I whittled it down to 26 quality articles. In the future issues I may start to cut a bit deeper and shoot for a top 20. I'll look for reader feedback to drive the frequency and size of these posts. I think there are some really great posts this week so check them out! -Brad
