But SM's connection to retail sales is vastly different than its impact on professional services (like CPAs). SM is, as you say, about building relationships, conversations, credibility, and trust. My blog (http://RockSolidFinance.com) has generated new customers from around the country (and interest around the world). People I would never have met, business opportunities I would never have seen. It creates a bond with strangers that would be impossible to do in the real world. How refreshing to meet a prospect for the first time, sit down to coffee, and have them immediately tell you why they think you are great. "I love the blog -- I've learned so much -- Let's talk about that piece you wrote on pricing..." The conversations do not all happen on-line, but they start there. And its a different world now. For me, the customers are better informed, trust me faster, and even self-qualified. So keep up the blog... and spread the word! David Worrell (www.RockSolidFinance.com) ! Craig:
