Now, with the internet, reps can access their data from any location without the overhead and headache of maintaining their own systems or remote connection software. It’s a different world where high powered sales force automation software is available to users at every level of functional need and price point.

In fact I would constantly be reading the information from the various industry associations to learn as much as possible.
