		<description>Todd - I get, and in fact agree with, the &quot;incubator&quot; metaphor.  The &quot;funnel&quot; metaphor remains as valid as ever, though, as long as it&#039;s paired and synchronized with the customer&#039;s decision process.  See http://ypsgroup.com/articlesync.html &amp; let me know what you think. - TY</description>

		<description>Great thinking, and ties into my recent writing about marketing rituals, and creating a process to always be thinking about this idea.

More comfortable with incubator thinking verses funnel thinking, but this is where sales people need to focus...</description>
