We offer a lot of services for our clients as well, but one thing we tell them, and try to practice here as well, is to talk to our customers. Your post hit the nail on the head my friend. Keep on truckin' my man! P.S. I dig your blog. A lot. :) I feel you Scott.

You know, I keep seeing people make the same mistake. I recently posted on a forum for Social Marketers, suggesting we place links there to articles at which we'd like to receive comments. One fellow with a nicely designed blog asked people to stop by and comment. Fine. Problem is, his articles are mostly news style reviews of expensive "Blogger Secret" type courses, on which he asks for our comments... if you've purchased and used the course. Of course I "get" his sales ploy -- buy it, then comment -- but it's COMPLETELY backward of a real sales approach. He should engage me, before the sale, in such a way that I might like to purchase in the future, and in the meantime strike up a conversation with him via his blog. So he doesn't get it... and he doesn't get many comments at all. - Scott Hi – thanks for the quote from my article. You know, I keep seeing people make the same mistake.
