Customer References: Your Sales Force is Your Recruiting Team

Getting customer references is sometimes the biggest challenge faced by B2B marketers.  It can be tedious and labor-intensive, but it is also strategic and often of vital importance.

I’d love to hear how you work with your sales team to cultivate customer references.
