Your whole post was really interesting, Russ.

Only one thing I thought I'd add -- while the statement quoted above is certainly correct, it may not be the whole picture. The man in question may not be qualified, but his girlfriend, sister, etc., might be and might trust his impressions.

Seems to me there really are 2 kinds of "selling" that GLOs have to do: (1) selling to prospective members to get new members, and (2) selling to the community at large to maintain goodwill and a positive reputation, which may help with selling to prospective members. (I realize the thread was aimed at selling to prospective new members, but I think that often the two sells go hand in hand.)
