&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TBG your 1st post was great and informative. It looks like spam or copy paste, but i think it&amp;#39;s original...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I visitedTBG website, I impressed by given feedback by clients...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks &amp;amp; Regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I do have to say that your posts and articles are short and very promotional. They look like you&amp;nbsp;may be&amp;nbsp;posting the same thing all over the&amp;nbsp;Internet, just trying to generate new business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I post articles and such to this site, I always make sure it is original content and I hope that it will be useful and worthwhile for people to read. Sorry, I don&amp;#39;t want to toot my own horn, but the reason this site is useful to me is because I can get considered advice and commentary that is in depth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sian&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:#423f3f;"&gt;Five questions that might serve you extremely well:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:#423f3f;"&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; What kind of a time frame are you working with?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:#423f3f;"&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; What kind of a budget range do you have in mind?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:#423f3f;"&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; What do you like most about your current supplier?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:#423f3f;"&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Who else, other than you, is involved in making this type of decision?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:#423f3f;"&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If we can solve your problems what will that mean to your business?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:#423f3f;"&gt;Your Advantage Must Be Established:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:#423f3f;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If I&amp;rsquo;m your prospect, what would make me decide to buy from you?&amp;nbsp; You tell me.&amp;nbsp; For example, in the marketplace are you the best at delivery, customer service, technical support, quality, pricing, convenience, financing, etc.?&amp;nbsp; The marketplace is full of mediocre providers, and you can settle into that group very easily.&amp;nbsp; What makes you different and better?&amp;nbsp; If you can answer that question, you will likely have found your advantage.&amp;nbsp; Use advantages to leverage your positioning with your prospects to win their business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:#423f3f;"&gt;The most successful salespeople in today&amp;rsquo;s competitive marketplace follow a selling process which allows prospects to buy within the timeframe &amp;ndash; and in the way &amp;ndash; they want to buy.&amp;nbsp; There is simply too much information at the customer&amp;rsquo;s fingertips to force a product or service on them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 3.75pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
