Do sales professionals leverage consumer tools enough to generate business? What is the one thing that separates the good sales VPs from the great ones?

Those were just a few of the questions that Sales 2.0 expert Scott Schnaars asked our own CEO, Umberto Milletti, in today’s video interview on his blog Beyond Snake Oil. It was great to sit down with Scott – a Sales 2.0 leader in his own right – and talk about the ways Sales 2.0 tools and technologies continue to drive enterprise solutions. Check it out!

If the purse strings feel tight here in the Bay Area, imagine being in the hub of world finance:  The Big Apple.  But that’s where Umberto was last week, taking part in the 2008 Interop conference.  In addition to speaking on ‘The ROI for Social Networking’ panel, Umberto also met up with numerous journalists from a wide spectrum of beats:  CRM, enterprise, and even finance.

He first caught up with Curtis Franklin of SMB IT to talk about InsideView’s exciting and compelling developments in the socialprise, just how it is that SalesView actually works, and how it’s making a difference in the sales force landscape:

Not every interview was about SalesView and the socialprise, though.  As CEO of a successful start-up, he shared his experience as such during these challenging economic times.

Speaking with Mary Kathleen Flynn from TheDeal.com about the impact of the tough economy on the start-up and Web 2.0 environment, Umberto said that one positive impact is that the real innovators can rise to the top:

During the conversation, Umberto discusses the historical roots of the development of socialprise technology, the advantages that social media can now bring to demand generation efforts and some of the customer success stories that InsideView has witnessed.
