		<description>I agree with you Kyle! Trust is essential in building a business and develops through building relationships. As a start-up specialist, launching a successful business requires strong relationships and great customer service; online and offline... scaling and maintaining growth in a business requires constant attention to customer relationships. I wrote a post here that flows with your thought process. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gacconsultants.com/2009/05/are-you-selling-or-strangers-or-friends.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.gacconsultants.com/2009/05/are-you-sel...&lt;/a&gt; </description>

		<description>This of course is the best way to sell a product...at least IMO.  It&#039;s the slow, engagement that leads to the &quot;soft pitch&quot; where you&#039;re no longer even pitching a product but rather sharing something valuable. 
 
The issue then comes when you&#039;re on a tight schedule of reaching certain goals, increasing users etc... What if you don&#039;t have time for the slow sale? </description>
