Open and Honest Relationship
by Jake McKee on 29 Dec, 2005 - 0 comments
One of the many mantras I talk about is "maintain an open and honest relationship". This goes for everyone involved in community work: Community Members This may seem obvious, but unfortunately, it’s usually the first thing marketing folks forget when talking to community members – don’t lie, don’t spin. It’s really easy to take the […]

As a novice ColdFusion programmer, […]
