INDUSTRY EXPERTS TESTIMONIALS

Wow, really powerful predictions here Asif. I’m seeing quite a bit of what you’re talking about already – I’m stripping out tons of extraneous incoming emails myself and only focusing on those few marketers I truly admire and respect. And, as I’ve recently blogged about myself, I believe we’re in the midst of a movement away from aggressive internet marketing to more relationship-based online marketing.
