Please have someone proofread your work, or learn how to spell. I won't bother cataloging all the errors, but will simply point out that the survey title itself features a whopper: "New Buisiness Survey."

I spent the last 30 years in senior level marketing positions, and made a point of never hiring anyone who couldn't spell. How do you expect to write business plans? Proof product literature? Write an email that others won't dismiss because it's poorly written?

Good luck.

I was told the title would not appear that was supposed to be for my reference, first time using this software , the proposal it self it pretty solid though. However, again the constructive criticism is very well taken, spelling has been an issue for me since I was in fifth grade, my advanced teacher said I over think words, reminds me of our illiterate valedictorian.

Many of my spelling and grammar issues are caused by the very small iPhone keyboard.

So it's the iPhone, huh? That's "... entirely tangible."

:ah:



Should you get to looking up the function of the "edit" tab, also do a search for "accepting-responsibility-for-your-actions-rather-than-assigning-blame". That's probably a better "marketing" (and life) lesson than whatever comes of your marketing "project".

Oh, hi! You must be new. Nice to meet you.

My most recent favorite from Jake:

http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/52769-need-opinions-summer-project.html

Although, I have to admit, I'm very curious about the "Retirees with a larger income will be attracted to visit the track while on tour." I'd like to be a retiree with a larger income. How do I do that?
