It was one year ago this month, January 27th, 2009, when How to Find New Customers was born.  And what a first year it was!

It was on that date that Jon Miller, co-founder and VP of Marketing at Marketo took a chance on an unknown.  And a superb writer, Jill Konrath of Selling to Big Companies, stepped up to lend a hand.  I simply cannot thank those two enough.

The birthing process was long and hard, but in March 2009, How to Find New Customers was released.  What a ride it’s been.

It started winning great reviews, like the one from the Funnelholic, Craig Rosenberg.  The B2B Marketing Zone linked to it and Focus.com posted the entire white paper.  It has been downloaded hundreds and hundreds of times from all over the world.  Even giant companies like Hewlett-Packard and Cisco are reading it, as well as hundreds of great smaller companies.  But we’re not done.  We hope to make it available in many languages soon.

I could not be more proud of this baby and the many businesses who have improved their business results from the ideas and concepts it contains.   Thanks.

Have you read it?  If not, download it right away.  After all, it’s free.
