I wish more people understood it. Particularly Twitter users, lol. Still far too many sign up for a Twitter account and start tweeting for ppl to check out their products immediately. Twitter is all about what you've outlined here: providing helpful information and helping people out whenever you can. This principle can be applied to every area of life--not just marketing. Thanks.

It's a different way of doing things, and it is hard for veteran sales managers and business owners to accept that the old ways of getting sales won't work in today's environment. More opportunity for those capable of making the change though! I absolutely agree that “everything about generating leads and referrals is changing”.
