Jay,

I think a lot of reps / sales reps gain a false sense of security and online acceptance as a result of these chat forums. I think it is one of the key reasons that so many move from job to job.

When I make a serious post, my hope is that serious business people will read it and in some instances, give feedback or contribute. I think that many people just hope they get a lot of responses and that those responses are flattering. And many companies hire representatives based on these threads.

The key element is utilizing a target audience. It?s making a post that offers a real solution or use and getting that message out to the correct audience.

When Rochard brought up reps that take on a corporate name, it raised what I see as a serious issue: Reps are more concerned with image, when they should be concerned with production. And this is fueled by the aforementioned false sense of security and online acceptance. I see companies hire based on image all the time. It explains the turnover rate.

If someone is productive, people will notice it and it isn?t going to matter if they have YNOT in front of their name or something else. The industry is shrinking in terms of companies that can afford to pay people higher wages as well as offer individuals a system that they can advance in.

Also Rochard, I doubt highly that new hire reps are choosing ?platinum? in front of their nicks. I would safely assume they are being asked to use it as a part of their jobs. And I for one don?t think that is too much to ask.

I chose Weg in front of my name. When I hired Robert, he changed it to Weg, I didn?t ask him too. John and Gabe use other nicks. It just doesn?t matter.

I have often contemplated changing my nick to Wegcash.

I just don?t care. My nick isn?t a priority. As I said before, I am not likely the right guy for this seminar; I will however do my best to contribute in terms of providing honest information and insight into how Weg and myself utilize all aspects of webmaster marketing.

Good thread, look forward to seeing you in Phoenix.
