'By Tibor Shanto - tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca . There are certain universal concepts and sayings in sales that everybody just nods to, “sure, of course, that’s hockey, motherhood and apple pie, of course.” And then they go in about selling like they always have whether they implement the concept or not.

'This post is going to be biased. Sorry. I’m a big fan boy of David Meerman Scott dating back to his (in my opinion) classic book The New Rules of Marketing and PR. I read that book in 2008 and it rocked my world. Now he’s got a new book focused on sales , The New Rules of Sales and Service. David pretty much defined content marketing about the same time Hubspot were thinking that way and now Hubspot is a newly-minted public company.
