Hudson, Mass. - May 11, 2011 - The Inside Sales landscape has changed dramatically in the past two years. When the first edition of Trish Bertuzzi’s Building Inside Sales ebook was published in early 2009, the US economy had just hit the trough of the recession.

Two years later, B2B technology companies are focused on growth and expansion, which mandated an updated version of the ebook. With Inside Sales now readily embraced by Sales & Marketing leaders, Bertuzzi’s updated edition, Building Inside Sales: Framing a Best Practice Group, offers new and timely insight.

Trish Bertuzzi and The Bridge Group, Inc. launched the first edition in response to an extremely challenging market (2008-2009.) “Executives had already cut budgets and headcount to the bone," said Bertuzzi. "My hope was that by intelligently expanding Inside Sales, companies wouldn’t cut to the point of hamstringing expansion and also be ready to capitalize on the next growth cycle."

Hudson, Mass. - May 1, 2011 - Trish Bertuzzi, President & Chief Strategist of The Bridge Group, Inc., will present at the AA-ISP Inside Sales Leadership Summit 2011 in Minneapolis, MN on May 10th.

The presentation will cover effective on-boarding as the foundation of Inside Sales success. "Inside Sales leaders invest lots of time, effort and energy in hiring great Reps. But then what?," said Bertuzzi. "If you are like most organizations you provide product training, CRM  & process training and let them have at it!. Effective on-boarding is about helping Reps understand the market they are selling into and the buyers they are selling to - first."

The AA-ISP Inside Sales Leadership Summit 2011 will feature over 30 of the nation's leading Inside Sales experts who will deliver presentations and discussions focused on the issues most critical to today's Inside Sales Leaders and Managers.
