		<description>Bob - 

Sorry for the delay in responding to you. It&#039;s a good question ... have a look at this post: http://yastrow.com/2010/the-apertif-pitch/

The trick is to use an initial communication as a way to start a conversation, not to tell your entire story. Happy to talk about it if you want to get in touch.

		<description>Steve, I love reading your work and have shared your message in many meetings. This one has me a bit baffled, however. As a radio professional, I do a lot of commercial work for clients. I recognize that a minute of commercial air time is not enough to &quot;sell&quot; a product or service, so I&#039;ve always thought of it as part of prospecting for new customers (it&#039;s all in the home improvement arena). Is there a way my message can meld with, rather than &quot;knocking her story out of her hands&quot;?</description>
