If you weren’t able to make it to Nashville for the annual SiriusDecisons Summit, you certainly could have stayed up to date on the latest sales and marketing trends, thought leadership, and stats on Twitter. Simply following the #SDSummit hashtag revealed a wealth of information—once you got past all the videos and pictures of the Neon Trees concert from Wednesday night at the Summit, of course.
From polls and surveys to quotes and case studies from influential sales and marketing leaders, the Twittersphere was buzzing with excitement (and clever memes!). Sales productivity, sales content, sales enablement and sales/marketing alignment were hot topics throughout the week, and Ive compiled some great tweets on those themes so you can keep up with the buzz too.
So throw on those cowboy boots and turn up the country, because the tweets have been coming in real-time and bringing so much heat—you might as well be in Nashville yourself!
