How TriggerBuzz got started

On July 6, 2010 I had the chance to participate in the coolest use of social media I have ever experienced: Small Business Buzz. Months ago I subscribed to their tweets SBBUZZ and I have watched their weekly events via my iPhone but I never participated in a conversation until July when the topic was sales. Then I found myself contributing to the conversation and that got me thinking.

How can I do something similar so that so practitioners of Trigger Event Selling can have their questions answered by anyone who wants to participate and provide answers. That’s how TriggerBuzz got started.
