It's a nice tip though. I believe this was way more common in the early days of the mid to late ninties. I didn't know it was still common in 2014.

Most of the products we sell go to OEM's and distributors. It's what we are good at. Building traffic, maximizing search engines is something that most companies like us fumble with.
Since the recession began in 2008 a lot less employees are expected to do more. We have meetings that are great. Lot's of enthusiasm, then the meeting ends,everyone goes back to work and nothing happens.
As the economy comes back, more companies are getting healthy again,and they still have informational websites.
I'm not suggesting to contact IBM and sell their stuff. It's the small/medium companies that have many opportunities for independent sales portals.
quick edit and addition- The guys that sell our products online do a good job. By the time we hire people,set up offices..etc.. we are actually ahead just letting the guys sell online. We still make more than we would selling through box stores.
