- A big THANK YOU to Richard "Soft Selling" White, he went the full 12 rounds this morning and we managed to get some clarity on my GSR project, there really is no substitute for brainstorming and idea bouncing so thanks Richard, your input is most gratefully taken on board. The big SORRY goes out to all of you good people here on Ecademy who, like Richard, may have struggled for ages trying to work out where I was coming from. Sincerity is difficult by blog, and whilst I may have the good intent, my blogging obviously leaves a lot to be desired. Bottom line? I am in the throws of launching a win-win campaign to drives retail sales and end starvation by capturing the power of brand. |
