How Influential are You?

Marketing, reach, sales potential --- what it all really comes down to is "influence". How influential are you in your field of business? Are your media and marketing efforts working to increase that power? This year's Future of Influence Summit (run simultaneously in San Francisco and Sydney) will attempt to help you find ways to grow your organisation's influence. And we have three passes (valued at $800 each) to give away to the reader we think best answers this question:

How do you measure the influence your organisation has in your field of business?

Enter your response in the comments field below (with a valid email) or send them to bnetau@bnet.com by the end of the day, August 25, and we'll announce the winners the following day.
