What should you blog about? Unfortunately, I run into writers block quite often when it comes to blogging. Most of it is caused by me.

I'm going to keep this one very short. I've been in some kind of sales for 8 years now, and I've seen all kinds of gimmicks to try to garner business. Free this, free that and so on. I must admit that I've tried a few with limited success at best. Most of the time it was a waste of time and energ...
