I agree…but I would add that the “kind” of reading you do, will often be more important than the frequency at which you do it! For instance, in talking about “reading”, I’m not referring here […]

The ideas I offer here can benefit members of sales and marketing teams in companies, who, in addition to offline efforts, have been tasked to use the web to find buyers, by the company (be it micro business or multinational) that employs them.
