Hi everyone, welcome to TheNewLead forum! We hope to have more members and to have a lively discussion about sales, marketing, lead generation and anything in between.

But before you post away, please read the following guidelines for posting:

1.)
Respect is a must. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but not all will agree to it. If you disagree about someone’s posting, say it in a respectful and professional way.  We discourage and will delete messages that are considered as vulgar, hateful, profane and threatening. We do allow heated discussions but still be mindful of posting rude messages.

2.) Personal attacks are strictly prohibited. We’d rather you talk about the topic that is being discussed rather than the person who started the topic. You could directly talk to the person concerned by sending them a personal message instead of posting it in the forum.

3.) Have some Netiquette (internet etiquette). Typing letters in all CAPS is considered as yelling, posting your messages twice or more than that is annoying, double posting (back to back posting of one user) is discouraged, debating about politics, religion and talking about something not related to the topic being discussed is rude so please, refrain from doing so.

4.) Post sensibly. Contribute useful topics and give out reasonable messages that could be of great help to others. Check first if the topic has already been posted. Be wary of wrong spellings, text lingos and questionable grammar. We encourage a friendly yet professional community.

5.) Do not be afraid. For new members, especially those who have never joined a forum before, do not be intimidated. Post questions if you can’t find the answer, especially when it concerns the website, www.thenewlead.com , sales or marketing-related or even how to use this forum.

6.) Please do not post copyrighted material. If you absolutely have to share it, give credit where credit is due. Mention the author’s name and where and how you got it.

7.) Spamming and self promotions would be immediately deleted.

8.) If you have any issues concerning the forum or another member, please send a personal message to the administrator (that’s me) and I’ll handle it as soon as possible.

We hope everyone will abide by these rules & regulations so everyone can enjoy their stay here in the forum.
