Book Review: Dirty Little Secrets by Sharon Drew Morgen
Excellent article. One of the key things that I want to add, is that those people that do come from a validated source, I don't think this article applies to. It is only for the scammers, like mentioned that come from those that have written testimonials with only their initials attached, where there is no validation nor reputation to follow. Note there is a key distinction between the two.

Furthermore, leaders of the industry that give you advice i.e. in sales, could very well give you tools to live by, but remember, what works for one person, may not work for someone else, thus the best thing to do is find common threads between numerous credible sources. Odds are if you do this, your chances are very strong that those pronciples work for you.- MJ Gottlieb www.thelemonaideguide.com.

Beyond the Scams: The Real Secret to Sales Success
Like you said in this article, most people never even ask for referrals. Like New Year?s resolutions, even if they start asking for referrals the initiative wanes over time. One way to ensure this does not happen is to hire a company to harvest referrals for you.
