Geoffrey is a veteran business journalist whose work has appeared in publications ranging from Men's Health to Wired to SellingPower magazine. His blogs and columns provide advice from over a hundred experts, along with controversial opinions on management fads, bonehead marketing, and office politics.

Geoffrey's Sales Machine blog was BNET's most-read feature, generating an average of well over a million pageviews a month, and won awards from both the Society of American Business Editors and Writers and the American Society of Business Publication Editors.

"Geoffrey knows how to talk to sales professionals -- and more important, he knows how to get them thinking and talking," says Inc.com editor Eric Schurenberg. "I'm personally delighted to be working with Geoffrey again. I can't think of a better writer to kick off this engaging new phase in Inc.com's editorial history."

Geoffrey's blogging also spun off a major book deal. Geoffrey's new book, Business to Business Selling: Power Words and Strategies from the World's Top Sales Experts, based on his most popular posts, is now available as part of Prentice Hall's best-selling "How To Say It" series.
