Six months on the BusinessWeek bestseller list and published in 26 languages from Bulgarian to Vietnamese, New Rules is now a modern business classic. Scott's popular blog and hundreds of speaking engagements around the world give him a singular perspective on how businesses are implementing new strategies to reach buyers.

While I spent most of my career in B2B marketing, for four years I was in B2B sales. So I've seen both sides.

I recently sat down with the folks at VisibleGains and other members of our technology team to talk about our thoughts on structured team collaboration, as well as search and our partner Attivio.
