		<description>&lt;p&gt;I enjoyed your presentation at the March DCF meeting.  I am an affiliate member of DCF (I am a Virtual Assistant), and I appreciated the tools and resources you shared.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the review above, this was one of the quotes that caught my attention: “The idea is one of collaboration with competitors, or turning competitors into partners, by building alliances and joint ventures as a business development strategy.”  One of the aspects of being a small business owner that I appreciate is supporting other business owners and practicing the theory of abundance.  By standing for a potential client and helping ensure that they find the best match for their business needs, you are providing a service and demonstrating that you are  keeping a client&#039;s best interests at heart. This assists for people to get to know, like and trust you, and learn how you operate your business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is wonderful to draw on each other&#039;s strengths when forming an alliance and see how those professional relationships grow and develop over time. It opens up a whole new world of possibilities and expands your reach in ways you may not have thought possible as a small business owner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for sharing this review; I look forward to purchasing the book!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I must admit, I didn&#039;t read this entire article, but I have a really good reason.  You say that sales isn&#039;t what you do best, but you sold me on &quot;Seal the Deal&quot; in about 5 lines.  I&#039;m on my way to get it now. Thanks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stacey in Maryland&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;p.s. what advice can you give to a budding speaker?&lt;/p&gt;
