Welcome to the July 3, 2009 (second) edition of Complex Sales and Selling Strategies.

Thank you to all who submitted relevant material to this edition! I look forward to receiving future submissions from all of you, and I envision the Complex Sales and Selling Strategies blog carnival growing more relevant, powerful, and wide-reaching with each passing edition.

Now for a couple notes on what I’d like to do for the next (third) edition:

1. I’m going to limit submissions to one per person, per edition for the future to keep content as varied as possible. In this edition, you’ll find multiple submissions from the same author, and I wanted to include them in this edition because they feature some really great content. However, for the future, let’s limit it to one great submission, per person, per edition.

2. I received quite a few submissions for this edition that, while well-written, did not fit the context that I detailed for the “Complex Sales and Selling Strategies” blog carnival. So while I apologize if your submission was omitted, I want to keep content as close to the guidelines set forth as possible in order to add maximum value for our readers.

3. It is my goal for the next edition to briefly comment on what I feel are the most valuable aspects of each submission, or those points that I most strongly agree with. No promises though, as well all know that time is probably the scarcest of all resources.

4. All thoughts, comments, or suggestions are welcome to improve future editions, so if something comes to mind, please take the time to share it and I will add it at the bottom of this blog carnival post.

Thank you!
