number 10?
I got to seriously once all by myself, then cycled back to funny, then around to who the hell knows where.

David Burn says
Hopefully, you jumped over to read her full entry–but I just put this here to toy with people–so it’s okay if you didn’t.
nancy says
I wrote a poem once…
forgot how it went
“toy, toy, toying with me
an iota too much…
I posted it on a poetry group. ha…laughing at myself now.
Actually it was in response to the intrusiveness of ads that passed over the content of a site. Way back in 2000, I think. The major corporation that owns that site probably owns the poem now.
Annastacia Chidera says
please,
what is the duties of a marketing executive?
nancy says
In the case of large corporations? Executive duties?
I’d like to know because I think Microsoft was at the head of slate and the fray when i wrote that poem and it was all about ads covering up content. It was annoying. I looked in their archives for years that followed and never could turn up anything with my name. And that toying poem I wrote immediately in the field box and not on scratch paper. I think the people at the poetry fray didn’t like me because i didn’t take all my poetry seriously.
Oh well, to be a fool amongst contemporaries, that’s all i asked.
To think I could have been a contender there, too, had I only followed this gal’s advice.

@Bako, everybody is your target for solar because everyone uses energy, but i think you can start with big companies that can afford your services
DeCalibre Institute says
@Cynthia, if you are into real estate then you should go for interior design training so you can learn alot about an interior space that will enable you market it. @Chris, same goes for you since fabric is an indoor materials; you need a wider knowledge to be able to set yourself apart from others. @ Etim, your product might be good but you need to find out why they are turning it down; perhaps you are meeting the wrong people. You must define your target market before you sell. not everyone can afford what you offer.
