About the Author

In 1993, George Colombo’s first book was published. It was titled Sales Force Automation and many industry observers consider it the starting point for today’s multi-billion dollar Customer Relationship Management industry. In fact, in 1999, Sales & Marketing Automation Magazine named George as one of the “Ten Most Influential People” in the entire history of that industry.

Since then, George has become one of the most sought-after writers and speakers in the country on the topic of technology-enabled sales and marketing. His articles and columns have appeared in numerous magazines. In addition, he regularly speaks to corporate audiences, trade associations, and business organizations. His specialty is making technology make sense—especially for businesspeople who don’t care about the nuts and bolts of how it works. George concentrates on the real-world application of technology and on how businesses can use it as a tool to grow sales and enhance customer relationships.

George’s latest book, just published by Career Press, is called Capturing Customers.com. In it, he focuses on the Internet and describes the ways in which businesses can avoid the mistakes of the now-defunct “dot com” companies and, instead, use the Internet to cement long-term customer relationships.
