RCP Columnist Ken Thoreson Wins Influencer Award

Congratulations are in order for RCP's long-running "Selling Microsoft" columnist Ken Thoreson. Ken was named a Top 50 Sales & Marketing Influencer for 2012 by Top Sales World magazine this month.

In addition to receiving Ken's sales wisdom in his columns and blogs on RCP, you can also catch Ken's great tips for getting the most out of the Worldwide Partner Conference in the WPC Marching Orders article we ran last week.

We've known Ken was a top sales influencer for years. We're glad others are recognizing him!
