Re: FN-FORUM OT: Sales

Bravo!
- I am really pleased that this is sparking off
ideas from those that did not like the sound of the original idea in its
entirety. That's what it is all about, the slow turning of wheels and cogs..
I am sure with the amalgamation of all that experience out there some
resolution can be bashed out
even if only in theory.
I mean-

How about if the sales and marketing were part of the group of freelancers
creating the site?
ie they dipped into their pockets too and quoted their fees independently?
I may be talking out of my arse (it has been known) ie: the marketing is the
lead horse and alot of expense could be accrued before any work is
accepted...

feedback anyone?
