YES this story is interesting to me. I thought I was the only person with ideas that seem crazy to some, at the same time feeling compelled - "helping people buy" is a beautiful way to put it. The key is finding what's right for the client, which is often not obvious from the glossy product demos. My little agency is going through an identity crisis, and it's pretty wild to be throwing the old-school mentality out the door without knowing WTF is coming.

You say: "stop selling and start helping people buy"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was BASIC to marketing. Getting beyond the idea that a salesperson sells... it's all about marketing.

Seriously Mel Webster, why are you such a hater and a troll. That is pretty sad in itself.

Might as well go back into your box and never look outside it to see or try anything different. Its not necessary to do this, we are making plenty of money as it is, the story above is the reasoning. Period.

Seriously, I think this is pretty sad and says a lot about the state of social media as a real business, Smacks of desperation despite your explanation.
