I have the same view to an extent, its why I'm not a very good salesman. I'm too sentimental and not focussed enough on closing deals. I can get by on the relationships I have in the market, I'm pretty good at marketing and setting the environment for sales but I'm not good at sales. Different skills set, attitudes and emotions. Fortunately I don't have to be if I can buy in that expertise, just as I buy in technical skills. Its why my next priority is to get some significant capital to fund a proper sales drive for INGOTs - pay people who are better than I am at expanding the sales. Professional results orientated people who don't have my sentimental limitations. It might sound harsh, but if we really want success we have to compete and the competiton isn't going to worry about sentiment. Its another reason why INGOTs is not a not for profit. You can't easily raise capital for expansion for a not for profit company. Without capital investment you can't market effectively. Look at the difficulties for Jacqueline and John when they have no budget. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMSL --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
