Know your customer While food shopping last week, we came across a cart full of discontinued items.

Who sees the elephant? For most businesses today, a website is very important. A good website can bring in a lot of business, and a bad website can cost you. A "good" website needs good SEO (Search Engine Optimization) good design, good content.. a lot to think about. Where does SEO leave off and Design start? Or vice versa, if you prefer. Where does Business Consulting fit in? What about Copywriting? Why I am asking these questions?
The Inside Track isn't always the right trackMost salespeople know that an existing customer is more valuable than a prospect simply because they are more likely to buy from you. They already know that you aren't a fly by night charlatan, that your product was what you said it was, and so on. A lot of the hesitancy of doing business is already swept away.
