And you expect me to buy that?



Okay, so maybe I'll check it out on ILL...

I'm not certain what your attitude is as expressed here. Did I offend you in any way?

Nah, I'm being funny - or trying to.

Selling and marketing aren't precisely the same thing - but I will check it out if I can get it. I can't afford to buy it right now.

You have to beware of using humor in selling. The Volkswagen company used to do comedy quite well, and there's the GEICO critter, but those are not just printed words. Just words with humor can backfire.

Yes, that's so, but I think you are supposed to say you couldn't sell instead of "couldn't market."

Presenting the product to the market as opposed to selling which is an exchange with a buyer

I may be wrong, but I think your definition is unusual. Harry Browne's book on the art of selling would be, instead, the art of marketing, if we are to follow your definition? ? ?

So, been hitting the bricks. Nada so far. Tried the Career Center - great, they told me to do what I'd been doing. Nice list of possible employers/job sites, though.
