It is ridiculous if you have a factory. It is ridiculous if you have a very large organization. It is ridiculous if you do not believe everyone in your organization is passionate enough or smart enough. I intentionally wrote this one to get a bit more conversation going. I know it is an ideal that in most cases cannot be realized, but creating a culture of buzz can turn most employees into better advocates. Thanks for the comment. Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the comment.

If we don't believe we're in sales, why are we in business? If I'm not excited about where I work, why not? What would it take to get me excited about sharing the name of my firm with the world? Probably more about how I think than how the company is. I've told you this before, and I'll say it again now: I'd formally work for Buzzoodle any day of the week my friend. Now if you could just afford to employ me... :) That’s a great challenge to all of us Ron. If we don’t believe we’re in sales, why are we in business? If I’m not excited about where I work, why not?
