Like a modern-day storming of the Bastille, Jared Fabac has thrown down the gauntlet on what he calls the 'old ways' of business-to-business marketing. With the July 25 release of his new book, 'The Industrial (Marketing) Revolution,' (http://www.industrialmarketingrevolution.com) he argues for a radical shift in how businesses connect with and convert customers. Specifically, Fabac describes how and why businesses should go 'all in' with a web-based approach to customer engagement. 'The Industrial (Marketing) Revolution' is currently for sale on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/The-Industrial-Marketing-Revolution-Technology/dp/1475998473/ref=tmm_pap_title_popover?ie=UTF8&qid=1374548933&sr=8-5.
