I've actually made sure I used the words in every day speech (it only happened twice so far but it was fun knowing if these people knew they'd be pissed off). Just for the fun of it. I was also thinking of making a post using the word several times but figured I wouldn't push it. :PAmeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895337474855212021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149297739511319567.post-22296553360739918822008-07-03T18:43:00.000-07:002008-07-03T18:43:00.000-07:00creepy, huh?

For example, your article states: "… Anne Rice had milked that trend to its limit, and the bloodsucking icon no longer had any selling power.” We do not condone such uses of our trademark. <BR/><BR/>As a practical matter, when you describe sales effectiveness, there are a wide range of terms available such as: sales excellence, sales savvy, sales mastery, sales acumen, sales efficiency, and many more. <BR/><BR/>The reason for this letter is to educate writers like yourself that we want to protect our trademark, since we don't want to risk Selling Power being declared by the courts a generic word. Therefore we ask you not to use Selling Power as a phrase since it is our legal trademark. <BR/><BR/>We would like to receive a written acknowledgment of this letter stating that you will in the future identify Selling Power as a trademark if you should write about our magazine, and not use Selling Power as a phrase. If we do not hear from you, we will need to take further action.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.<BR/> <BR/>All the best, <BR/><BR/>Gerhard Gschwandtner <BR/>Founder and Publisher <BR/>Selling Power<BR/>1140 International Parkway <BR/>Fredericksburg VA 22406 <BR/>Office: 540-752-7000 Cell: 540-273-2555<BR/><BR/>P.S.

I love it. If anyone can pull it off, it's you.Ameehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895337474855212021noreply@blogger.com
