					<description><![CDATA[Hi Hamilton 
Like Linda I found your article by Googling the same thing.  So with 1 billion Google searches everyday I found you and this would be my case in point for Inbound Marketing.  The days of telemarketing and direct mail are fading fast.  Think AMEX and how they stopped their DM campaign when the ROI dropped from a peak of 5% to less than 1% in 2008. 
Keep up the great writing!

					<description><![CDATA[Congrats on being in the top five sites when I googled &quot;Marketing Consulting&quot; and thanks for your thoughtful post. I really like the image of tending the garden. Makes sense and is an accessible concept. 
Thanks!
