They are quite happy to employ a salesperson on 45K+ per year, but ask them to spend $2000 on advertising and they think it's a waste of money. The truth is if they spend the 45K on advertising, they wouldn't need sales people, just order takers :) Thanks for your post. It never ceases to amaze me how many small business owners think.
