I currently have the role of Product Manager at my company. And while I'm not one to hide behind a title, there is a lot that does come with a particular role that you have to pay attention to. I was recently invited to our internal national sales meeting. Prior to the meeting, the Little Red Book of Sales was distributed and it came up quite a bit. It was used at the primary theme for much of the meeting.
My background really isn't in sales, so I enjoyed reading the book and spending some time learning more about the sales process we have instituted. The book was a straightforward, short (and fun) read. If you are in sales and haven't read it, you should pick up a copy right away as it is worth your time. That's not just coming from me, but from everyone at the meeting.
Ah, but look at me starting to digress again. One of the chapters in the book talks about selling yourself. In the Internet age, that happens offline as well as online. I was already on a few of the social networking sites, but wanted to put together a single place to locate my online persona. So, aaronhickmann.com was born. But, no one is going to visit my site without regular updates and so this blog will have that responsibility.
It will be interesting to see how this evolves. I had what most folks would call a blog back in 1999 on my own site, but I just got away from it over time. I'm happy to return and hope to blog at least a few times a week. Let's all keep our fingers crossed, shall we? :-)
