NIKES FOR COBBLER’S KIDS!

You know the truth – no business is immune or exempt from the need to sell its goods or services.

You also know about the cobbler’s kids and no shoes. That’s a sad story, but not a good excuse. The cobbler’s kids deserve the very best (no, this is NOT a plug for a brand; just a matter of analogy).

When you turned (or will turn) to an advertising agency or PR firm for help selling YOUR goods or services, you expect expert advice. That’s why it makes sense to find out what your agency (or the pitching agency) does to sell ITS services.

Do they have some form of sales organization, individual or pro-active outreach process? How do they “market” themselves to those that didn’t take the initiative to telephone them – i.e. what options do they use in the way of advertising, publicity, trade show participation, direct marketing, website, etc?

It takes one to know one; it takes one to BE one. Make a point to learn how your agency (candidate) handles the sales process and how they do new business development. Then keep (or hire) one that practices what they preach.

SPAM & VIRUS

The economy may be suffering, but not the Spam and virus business. The good news about Spam is that it’s easily deleted. Frankly, although annoying, many people enjoy e-mail “mining” – looking for that speck of gold among the dirt! Viruses are something else. Watch out for each and every variant of W32.Klez.H@mm. It is NASTY and keeps recycling itself. For more info, check out the Symantec (Norton AntiVirus) Web site at: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter
