First up this morning “5 Essential LinkedIn Apps for Sales Teams.” This article covers a number of ways that LinkedIn can be used to generate sales. Some of the apps that are mentioned in this article: WordPress, Slide Share, Box.net, TripIt My Travel and Events. This is an article worth checking out if your business relies upon LinkedIn to spread the word and if it doesn’t…well it should be!

Next up this morning “4 Marketing Ideas That Are Sure To Make A Splash.” You know me, I am always looking for hot new marketing ideas and ways that I can get the word out about my company.

Also in news this morning “The 5 Questions Entrepreneurs Need To Ask In Order To Get Funded.” One of the biggest challenges in being an entrepreneur is getting the funding that you need to bring your goals to fruition. This article covers five questions that should be asked before getting funding including: where does the money come from and how much are you asking for? This is a definite must read for those of you considering seeking funding any time soon!

Lastly this morning a fun article from Inc.Com entitled “The Wrong Body Language.” Body language has always been one of those things that I have been fascinated with but never really paid enough attention to. This article made for a fun read this morning though and it made me remember just how important it is to pay attention to how you present yourself. Sure, some of these tips are common sense but some of them are just interesting to know.

I have to admit to being a little slow out of the starting gate this morning and my favorite article was the one on body language although not only because it was a quick slideshow! I really thought it was interesting to check out some of the things to look for when talking to other people!
