The Demise of the Sales Call?

Tonight while bouncing around the web looking for nuggets of gold to blog, I came across this piece from SethGodin.com regarding the death of the sales call. Not a complete death, mind you, but more of a metamorphisis.
Godin makes a strong point that the traditional "sales call" has been replaced by the "buying call."
I especially like the way that he wrapped up this very succint article, as quoted below:
