By Adam Ailion If you are anything like me, you are tired of hearing about the latest and greatest app you have to learn how to use, or the next best service to buy.

By Rob Mehta Recently, I attended one of the most “unique” YPN events I have ever attended. Quite simply, it was the “World’s Largest Tuesday Morning Sales Meeting.” Drawing a crowd in this industry is no easy feat, but when a group of Midwest minds with moxie got together, they were determined to attract more than just a couple people. …
By Dolores Esanu Recently, I’ve noticed quite a few business professionals engaging in “Klout.” Klout is a program that rates your sphere of influence within the social media world, with a score of 1 being lowest and 100 being the highest.

By Melissa Krchnak I’ve had a few friends over the last couple weeks who have pledged to stay off social media for a day or longer.

By Scott Newman So here’s where you currently stand: Everyone and their mother has been telling you to blog. They say, “it’s so important to connect with the potential clients in your market.” Or more generally, “put yourself out there!” Even asking, “Why aren’t you blogging already?
