Thanks for your comment, Stephen!
I have to say – yep, be CRAZY not to!
Thanks for your comment, Tony. This apprenticeship was no cake walk, for sure. But I think the candidates took a lot of value from it. :)
Hi Shane, this is a great initiative, it is a pity I did not hear about this before, I would have joined you all guys. I am sure it was a Awesome experience. Cheers from Spain ;-)
Thanks, Jorge!
OMG Shane…talk about leaving me hanging…so which CRM’s did you duct tape together!? :)
Hi Paul,
We ended up using Prosperworks and Yesware.
Very useful podcast, but why is it not available on iTunes? Your latest episode there is from 5/9/2015…
Hi Ion,
Sorry about this issue. Will try to get that fixed soon.
Same deal with Stitcher. I had thought the podcast had stopped altogether. Look forward to seeing fresh episodes in my feed again.
