More than a year ago, we the founders of iGo2 , took out a weekend to have an ‘Indaba’ (An indaba is an important conference held by the izinDuna (principal men) of the Zulu and Xhosa peoples of South Africa).

In fact, among the most successful salespeople, over two-thirds believe social media is integral to their sales success.
