Open Letter to @jason

Hey, Jason

If you want a smart, relevant and controversial guest, perhaps you should consider Justin Roff-Marsh?

As you can see from Justin’s recent posts (right), he has a sharply divergent view on how sales environments should be structured and managed.

Justin’s recent book, The Machine, just won Gold in the Axiom Business Book Awards and has an average rating of 4.9 on Amazon.

But Justin’s a practitioner, not just an author. His consultancy works with organizations in the USA, UK and Australia and generates over $3m in annual sales.
