color=#0000ff size=2>I don't think all marketing is bad. I just think that
marketing types that like to toss around acronym's like CRM are bad. When
a marketing type uses phrases like "aggressive pricing strategy" instead of the
word "sale" then I check to see if my wallet is still in my
possession.

D,You are working under the auspices that all marketing
is bad. Think about all the products you do enjoy that do spend money on
marketing, and you will see what I mean.I stated it earlier but
perhaps it got buried. If you combine a quality work ethic with top-notch
marketing, you are ultimately going to end up ahead of the competition
that relies only on good marketing.The natural tendency is to hate
marketers. I understand this. I also hate most marketers. I am not that
type of marketer. I specialize in customer relationship management (CRM).
This means I believe the real money is to be made by actively listening to
customers to find out what their needs are. I don't believe in trying to
sell something the customer does not really need. This is where the easy
$$$ is anyway, from a marketing perspective.I have little time to
educate everyone here. I guess -- fill out my feedback form and we'll talk
about it further ;-)~Brian--- In
