Skip,
Funny that I saw this post. I was just speaking with a colleague the other day about sales training "hot beds" and Minnesota came up!
Keep up the good work in this most noble of professions.

Don't mention it, Sam. You're one of the most knowledgeable people I know in the sales training field, and you've got a lot to offer B2B sellers. It's my pleasure to include you on the list, especially since I've seen you speak in person and know the quality of your work.

Good post!
I thought it was interesting you didn't mention Terry Slattery www.slatterysales.com.
Random thought, how imporatant is it to use a local trainer? Is there any merit to using someone outside the market to provide a different perspective?
