I know you’re eager to see the winners of this week’s book contest. The winners are…

…below today’s Picks!

• Should Mozilla be concerned that 91% of its revenue came from its partnership with Google? The same Google that has launched a competing web browser.
• Video search company Blinkx has made a second (less attractive) bid for the ad network Miva.
• Search Engine Roundtable questions the ethics of Yelp.com. Does the site manually change positive and negative reviews?
• It seems Yahoo is bringing its “Glue Pages” to the US after all.
• SEMPO would like your input for the 2008 State of the Market survey–they have prizes for those that participate!
• Congrats to the organizers of the first Internet Summit in Chapel Hill, NC. I’ve said for many years that we have a strong internet marketing industry in this area and 650 attendees (a sellout crowd) didn’t prove me wrong. You can check out some photos here.

OK, so now for our book contest winners. Congrats to…

• Saad Kamal
• Sarah Fowler
• Patrick

These are tough times in the selling business. Customers are ordering less, postponing sold business, trimming the number of suppliers, and reducing budgets. It is taking longer to close a sale. Many of your sales staff may never have experienced a downturn like this before. How can sales organizations continue to thrive in an increasingly lean economy?

Tune in to a live interactive discussion with a panel of sales experts, and get your questions answered:

• What best practices can you learn from companies that have not only survived but thrived through past downturns?
• What specific steps can you take to create a more valuable relationship with your customer?
• Which tools should you be using to increase the effectiveness of your selling process?
• What role can technology play in making you smarter about your best opportunities?

You’ll have an opportunity to gain valuable strategic knowledge by listening to commentary from proven thought leaders:

• Learn what not to do.
• Hear about effective methods that you can put in place now.
• See the results of our TCC survey of top sales management experts, and learn how the recession is affecting other sales organizations.

Panelists will include Jill Konrath, author of Selling to Big Companies, Denis Pombriant, founder of the Beagle Research Group, and David Bonnette, Group VP of North America Sales at Oracle. Robin Carey, Co-Founder and CEO of Social Media Today LLC, will moderate.
