Candidly, there's more here than can be addressed in a comment. I've got 40+ years in marketing and business communications under my belt. Your 3-pronged business requires 3-prongs+ of a reply. If interested drop me a line via my website and we can figure out how best to communicate further. Regards. - PWE www.pwepan.com

@ Michael Caputo - Excuse me - who crowned you 'The Determiner'? If you're gonna reply let's keep things positive and supportive, at best. And, accurate and intelligent also helps. My offer of ideas and perspectives to @ V. Blankenship had nothing to do with self-promotion and everything to do with giving her feedback and sharing ideas/solutions within a format that had the best chance for a meaningful outcome. Written comments delivered in reply to complicated questions like hers in these types of forums are never able to provide cookie-cutter, quick fix solutions. I could spend all day bantering back and forth with comments/replies and still not really provide her anything of substance. Offering/proposing to have a two-way conversation - so that neither of us would just spin our wheels and/or waste each others' time - was the best, most honest feedback I could give her. Copping-out is not in my vocabulary. Drilling down and working hard to understand where someone is coming from in order to be able to really support them and provide them with valuable feedback and counsel - that's the language I speak. Clearly, @ Michael Caputo, it's also a language and service-oriented manner of doing business that's far from familiar to your tone-deaf ears. 'Nuff said... - PWE
@ Michael Caputo - We seem to have lost focus IMHO. My original intent was to connect and support @ V. Blankenship via an honest and direct reply to her questions/concerns. I've said exactly what I needed to say and provided her with a way to follow-up with me that is perfectly appropriate. Our tip-tapped highjinks and back-n-forth repartee is not productive nor helpful to @ V. Blankenship. Respectfully, I'm done. Enjoy your day... - PWE
Paul, I have been slapped by the Alignable (very lower case) gods for far less in the way of self promoting language.
Give advice. Don't self promote.
If you have three prongs of advice spell them out, say you are shooting off the cuff. If she likes what you wrote she will contact you.
Apparently we are allowed to help each other out publicly but not blatantly self promote. I would caution that you do not want to 'contribute' your way out of a job however.
