By the way, if AB has not grown enough as a business in so many
years to be able to afford to hire someone to handle the virtual
communities (like this one) for AB, that in itself is a sign AB
could benefit from some additional marketing and business
development strategy. Little growth is generally deemed as a
financial loss in the business world, due to the growth of
competition.
Imagine if this board or one like it had a full-time person devoted
to it. That's what I'm talking about here. No real gains, then no
perks for the customer. His successes are your successes.
It may serve your immediate purposes to keep things as they are, but
that's a bit selfish and unrealistic, don't you think?
