Sales and Marketing 2003: Sell Me The Money

A Note to Readers

Booty Calls

Greetings discerning readers!

Ever your faithful servants, we here at MarketingProfs are continually fine-tuning the site to make it work more effectively and efficiently for our readers. This week, we introduce a new feature that we hope will bring an added element of convenience and versatility.

We notice a lot of you are pretty subject-specific. That is, you come to MarketingProfs seeking information on--for example--newsletter production, and you kick over every rock searching for articles on that specific topic. Quite often I receive emails from readers saying, “Hey, Ann, I read Suzan St. Maur’s article on writing online. What else you got?”

The truth is, the MarketingProfs archives are a very rich place, filled to the brim with all kinds of content booty. And this week, you’ll notice that Debbie Weil’s article on fervently loyal customers offers up several links to archived articles about customer feedback.

Hope you find this new feature useful. Please let me know. As always, your honest feedback is both encouraged and welcome.

Until next week,

Ann Handley

Adopt Positioning Strategies -- Not Strategic Positions
