I spend a lot of time online researching the latest trends in Industrial Marketing.  One of the sites that I found to be an excellent resource on Industrial Marketing is GlobalSpec.  For a lot of my clients GlobalSpec is the search engine for OEM and distributor product catalogs; their SpecSearch system contains over 56,000 digitized catalogs that represent over 2.3 million products and over 194 million searchable product specs.

For me, GlobalSpec is an e-learning center with great, up-to-date information on Industrial Marketing.  One of my favorite online resources for industrial marketing trends, whitepapers, newsletters and the latest industrial marketing information to help drive sales.
