 |  | | A Note to Readers Survey Says! Last week, 22,000 of you received a MarketingProfs audience survey (to which 2,300 of you responded). In it, we asked about a host of issues—how many of you have recently purchased business books, attended industry seminars or conferences, or taken any free or for-fee online courses or seminars. What was a little surprising to us here at MarketingProfs was that so few of you have elected to take any training courses, and fewer still have taken any online seminars—free or otherwise. Which makes us wonder: why? In this sluggish business climate, are your budgets and time stretched too thin to commit to coursework? Or is it that nothing to date has really made you sit up and take notice? Drop me a line and give me your thoughts. As always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged. Until next time,
