Anyway, re. "Be interesting," is best reversed, to "be interested." Too many talk about themselves too much and are terrible (self-centered) listeners. I read a book called Customer-Centered Selling that proposed reversing the conventional talk talk talk approach. And I agree, the best sales people really are the best listeners. So I'd say "Be Interested," instead. :) http://uxdesign.com Hey Dan, the comments beginning and ending with “[…]” are link spam you know… how about not approving them, since they are moderated?
