hey bob,<br>
you are right... we do chatter too much. lets get back on track...
and start with sales/marketing...<br>
<br>
sales vs marketing<br>
<br>
marketing - designed to bring people to you, educate them on the
decision points of the industry, create awareness of your product<br>
<br>
sales - reaching out to potential customers, taking orders, handling
questions raised from marketing, personal interaction for those still a
little uncomfortable about taking the plunge...<br>
<br>
so what mechanisms of marketing do you use? and what have you found to
be effective?<br>
care to share?<br>
