Default "On Selling" (to retail stores)

I recently completed a 3-part series of posts on how to sell to retail stores based upon my own preparation and experiences. This was spurred by a large post I wrote in a thread on this sub-forum.

I thought it may be of benefit to some of you.

extratasty.com.au/blog/?p=105 On Selling Part I - Pre-Showing

extratasty.com.au/blog/?p=106 On Selling Part II - The Showing

extratasty.com.au/blog/?p=110 On Selling Part III - Post-Showing

Any criticism and feedback appreciated.

Cheers.

Checking the blog now...Is it my screen or is it difficult for others to see as well? Looks like light grey text on a periwinkle blue background, making it difficult for me to read.

But when I select the text, it's legible.

I appreciate you taking the time to write all those tips. I've bookmarked them and plan on reading them soon. (still in the equipment and shirts research part.) I had a hard time reading the first blog. The words are almost the same color as the background. But, the second and third blogs were fine (dark writing on white backgrounds.) Again, thanks so much!

You're right! I was using Firefox the first time, but I just viewed the first link in IE. Looks Great! Thanks

Alex's site imploded quite a long time ago... looks like the domain has expired now too.

The Internet Archive looks to have your back though.
