"Hi Mark! It's amazing how I chanced upon your blog. This is a gold mine of information! I'm fresh out of college and currently working but my real passion is business. But I really don't know how to go about building a business since I'm in the allied medical field. Thank you for your great articles. It feels like I have a mentor:)

"Hi Mark,
A lot of people have been blessed in having the opportunity to come across with this information including me. Being an automotive service consultant here in North America is so challenging & honestly I've been looking up to my fellow consultants who by nature are I would say Yangs. Our upsell results never goes far in volume comparatively even though they do a lot of talking more than I do.
Thank you so much. This piece of information has again reassured my confidence in my personal conviction that truly you can earn a customer's trust by going through the Yin's way. I am sure a lot of people are interested including me to attend your seminar but I am proximity challenged right now being here in North America. It would be awesome if you can come up with Webinars on similar topics in the future. Webinar is the trend here in North America & it's really effective & flexible. I strongly recommend you give it a shot sometime.
Again, congratulations to all my fellow Yins & I'm equally hats off to all them Yangs including you Mark! ;- )"
