With collectively more than 80 years in the sales and marketing communications field, we share our tips, techniques and stories in our book and blog, Secrets of the Softer Side of Selling, while also working directly with clients to help them challenge themselves to close more sales, earn more revenue, and drive competitors crazy. We created Marketing Idea Shop, LLC in June 2004, by merging two companies, Strategic Business Partners (established in 1990) and Technology Marketing Group (formed in 1999). We primarily work with business-to-business (B2B) companies, that is, businesses selling to other businesses. In addition, we offer editing, writing, blogging and social media services for a wide variety of clients, including nonprofits, authors, and solopreneurs.
