		<description>Dear Ben,

I appreciate your site. Thank you for your insights and guidance.

In the midst of the financial crisis, there&#039;s a lot of bashing and cynicism towards performance recognition and inspirational efforts in the workplace. Just check any bar in lower Manhattan! It&#039;s a shame.

You&#039;re posts help to work against that trend.

As a VP leading over 100 salespeople, I&#039;ve found that the hard fact is that QUALITY performance recognition works. Not just for morale, but in dollars. I have been using a couple of different tools for retaining good people and bringing in the larger sales figures. A#1 is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unitedmarket.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Design Your 
Inspiration&lt;/a&gt; ( www.dyi.successories.com ), intelligent, customizable with any words or great quotes you want to use. Framed art photography prints. 

Again, the quality of these, and the MEANING emparted makes them highly effective for me. So while the cynics shed tears in their beers, we&#039;re laughing all the way to the bank! Thanks again. Jim</description>
