One of my things to play with as things quiet down at the office in between the 25th and 1st, would be Business Scorecard Manager. I think it is a natural fit between CRM and BSM. So for those of you interested in BSM and CRM, here are some BSM Resources that are FREE!!!! :-)

The best way to do this is to use the training made available through msreadiness.  It’s free to your customers/prospects, it’s interactive and recorded AND being run by the same folks that did our in depth in person airlifts.
