Question
What is the best source for information on your industry, competitors and others?
Is there anything that is not present in the market that is important for you as a professional for the decision making process?
Answer
Great question... I think the answer to this is constantly evolving. The way I see it:
50 years ago - > It used to be almost 100% rolodex & good old fashinoned network.
Last 10 years -> 50% rolodex & old fashioned networking - 50% LinkedIn and other networking platforms.
In the next 10 years -> Smarter SaaS solutions that give access to the right people in the right organization through a good use of the large amount of data we have.
