None of what I said was meant in the least sarcastically. I was trying to explain why I didn't understand your post and I guess it's difficult to explain lack of understanding without using some negative terms, but there was no hidden text or tone or whatever you think was lurking, I promise. I'm sorry you've taken it that way. You're an enthusiastic supporter of blogging about ebid, which is what this whole thread is about - I was explaining and supporting not knocking. I don't know what bit you've read that way or I'd adjust it. It's a shame there isn't a "put it back" option!
p.s. I don't really do sarcasm, it's not helpful, it's not clever, it's rarely funny and it's a waste of energy. I do, however, have a rather "proper" way of both speaking and writing which if I don't remember to tone it down with enough slang and emoticons (and smiling and hand-waving in real life) tends to be misinterpreted as snotty sometimes. People worry about having poor spelling and grammar but I can assure them the opposite carries its own problems!

I know just how you feel
Me too! In two languages! (Adds smiley here...) Three if you count having to learn LOL, ROFL, PMSL etc etc! It has just occurred to me that within the "blogosphere" (another new word) it seems that most people do write rather correctly with good spelling and grammar ... so maybe that is a skill that is still valued somewhere. It is hard for me to be anything other than quite formal within my blog pages as that is the only French I know - can't do chatty French or slang French yet! After a working life of writing formal reports grammar and spelling in English come easily to me.
Kedo - It's a shame that you removed those posts - saw them and read them before going to bed (was feeling a bit rough as I seem to have brought a cold back from the UK) and was going to give them my attention this morning.
This thread and the Pinterest one are certainly helping me with my own experiments in developing selling skills - and so far I've enjoyed the experiences. If others would prefer to discuss the removal of a thread for 16 pages rather than write a blog there is little that can be done about it and presumably the issue (whatever it was - as I wasn't here at the time) caused them genuine distress.This discussion is useful to us - even if it is just a small band of bloggers that appear in this thread at the moment.

If we keep it going, it can be found easily by new ones and so it has every chance to grow
Hi Kim, thank you for this thread. Could my new blog be added by any chance please? I've only 3 posts done so far but it's a start, thanks! http://lodegrundrunner.blogspot.com/

You might be right. There are only 4 parts to a sale which encompasses anything we sell as well as life in general and once understood and implemented properly then yes sales come easy. Of course each step is tweeked for different types of selling but the 4 parts remain quite succesful.
I have been in sales most of my working life and have been through several sales training courses. Know how is one thing, actually doing it is altogether a different story.
Thanks for your reply.
