RE: [Legacymarketing] Re: The Goodwill Partnership

Dear Membership,
 
Forgive my silence during today's debate but I have been out of the office. Looking through the Emails from today I feel the group has self-regulated itself testimony to the value our members place on the forum to share ideas, experience and best practice.
 
Nevertheless, as previously stated with regard to posting of Emails this one slipped through the net and Andy (Sorry) but this wouldn't have been posted in its published form under normal circumstances as it does stray over that line to being a more overt sales pitch.
 
We will be reviewing process to ensure we minimise the chances of this happening again in the future. There is as I'm sure all will accept a fine line here between being able to highlight and discuss opportunities which are presented to us in order to help boost our legacy income and the view we are allowing promotion of particular products.
 
We try to get the balance right, and from your feedback today, will tell us (and your fellow members) when and where that line is crossed.
 
 
Regards,
 
Iain

Subject: [Legacymarketing] Re: The Goodwill Partnership

Once again I do not believe that an email group, sharing expertise and asking questions which challenge and inform us all, should be used as a sales tool. Such an unsubtle approach destroys genuine comradeship and mutual understanding.
In my viedw you should market elsewhere - there are plenty of opps all over the place. This email group is ace as a group of colleagues who need each other. We do not need a sell. goodbye, richard
