Hey thanks for the mention, Brad! It’s always so odd to me when I get grouped with “marketing and sales” stuff. But I constantly have to keep reminding myself: When you get right down to it, we’re ALL in marketing!

Great bunch of links, though!

Thanks Brad, I’ll check these out. The only one I’d read already was Darren’s – BTW your link is missing – I thought it was a great way of driving the message home. I’m going to be quoting it too sometime soon.
