<p>Welcome to Business Intelligence,  the art and the science of taking raw data that resides within your  company and transforming it into useful information that can you can use  to be more intelligent and effective in your sales process.  Who do you  sell to? What do you sell? What business problems do you solve?  Which  deals do you chase?</p>
<p>I like this idea &#8230; Focus on the deals that  will close fast as opposed to trying to speed up the deals that might or  might not close fast. You really should know which ones you can close  quickly. Do you?</p>
<p>Gerhard of Selling Power interviews Paul Staelin  of <a href="http://www.birst.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.birst.com/?referer=');">www.birst.com</a> Short and to the point.  Check it out.</p>
