A Note to Readers Got Graphics? Greetings, discerning readers! And welcome to this week's wonderful issue. I'm writing to you fresh from the MarketingProfs management junket held in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. The few days we spent there were refreshing, for sure. But those few days also served to refocus and evolve our mission to deliver some of the most useful and relevant marketing content out there, in several ways: through newsletter content, online seminars, and the vibrant Know-How Exchange. We also have a few new things up our sleeve...which you'll hear about in the months to come. In the meantime, we are also in the hiring mode. One of the things that became apparent in Santa Barbara was our desperate need for a graphics and design person. If you might be interested in working with MarketingProfs as an integral part of the team, please email Publisher Allen Weiss at amw@marketingprofs.com. I can tell you firsthand, MarketingProfs is a fun and exciting place to be. Thanks for stopping by. As always, your feedback is both welcome and appreciated. Until next week, Ann Handley

Using the Business Case to Close the Deal Marketing executives invest a great deal of time and money building the brand, only to see it diluted at the most critical point—in front of the customer. Depending on how your sales force executes—the process they follow, the questions they ask, the messaging they use—the brand equity you work so hard to create will be either reinforced or undermined by their actions.

Guest Articles: Good for Some, Bad for Others Some marketing strategies can be right for one Web site but wrong for another, depending on the site’s purpose and the underlying reasoning behind the action. If an action doesn’t directly and logically plug into site goals, then there are likely more profitable ways to spend that time and effort. Publishing third-party articles on a Web site is one of those marketing strategies that can be right for one site, yet wrong for another.
