Why don't you use letters and testimonials?

Why do you NOT you ask for testimonials?

If you are starting to work in a new market why would you not want to use testimonials?

I'll make a prediction:
This topic will be moved very quickly.

Tell you what Ron, let me answer a question with a question. If you'd traded full time pro. since September 1980 (part time 78-80), and the work had always (apart from a nasty early 90s recession bite) come in. Would you be looking to other angles to get the work in?

I honestly believe this whole issue to be a clash of cultures and societies. I've nothing against testimonial letters. If someone started a trend towards this in the UK then so be it, - we could fill a case with them in no time! But why 'fix it' if it 'ain't broke'?

By POSTING HERE though I do not submit to any of your three categories, as all three are not relevant to our circumstances. It's a bit like asking me: "what have got got against Viagra because you don't use it"? My reply would be the same: "already empowered".

I think this topic is getting petty now Ron. Maybe it's time to move on.

I agree with Billy....

Its not exactly a highly complex moral or ethical issue is it?
