One advantage social media provides professionals with is a daily opportunity to gain industry insight and observe trends for best practices through the multitude of video resources available. Accessing this information is common practice among sales reps and marketers, and many learn from videos and content produced by other reps and marketers who sell sales and marketing software. This monotony of “sales and marketing” content can get kind of stale, and the benefits from the content may not demonstrate their actual value.

We’re all guilty of writing and reading about the same thing. It eventually becomes this vortex of similar content that can be hard to sift through and find things you didn’t already know, also leading to a lack of inspiration.
