Hi Don!

You always offer some great advice and I appreciate you for this. When reaching out to prospective contacts I'm asking them what challenges they are experiencing in their current visibility activities. This doesn't seem to work very well and I find many of Alignable's prewritten prompts cheesy. 

I'm trying to learn what people are doing now and where they struggle so I have a better idea of the programs I want to offer in this community. My guess is that that are taking this message as an instant sales tactic and it's not. 

One person answered my question saying they didn't have that issue and I responded with "Great! What tools are you finding most effective?" - radio silence. 


This seems to be a pattern with businesses on Alignable. I know I am tired of being sold to here so I get it, how can we break out of that cycle?
