Having been in corporate IT sales for 18 years prior to this
profession and who later worked for a major telecom provider on a
project to reengineer the worldwide sales process, I gotta ask..what
problem are you trying to solve?

The reason I ask is, the problem you are trying to solve will have a
major impact on the solution.

keep in mind that some if not all of them see any change to their
process as a change to their income.
