		<description>Hey Pete!  

Just had a scan of your new blog, looks good - we&#039;re kindred spirits here I think...&quot;the challenge is that [marketing is] unsuccessful at developing [interest] into sales&quot; is something close to our heart here.  

We work with small growth companies or skunkworks in larger Co&#039;s (like good old IBM Network Computer Division!?!), so proving exactly that value is always top of the list... 

In fact, it can&#039;t afford not to be, or we&#039;d get the boot PDQ... 

So - I&#039;m sure we have a few stories to share on that score.  We&#039;re gonna blog more along these lines... we have a mantra here - marketing should be all about &#039;earning the right to sell&#039;</description>

		<description>Great post Roger. Having started my own blog journey a few months ago I&#039;m enjoying the ride - particularly like the line about it being &quot;the showcase on the company&#039;s soul&quot;

Happy New Year!</description>
