		<description>Marsha,

You it he nail on the head when you stated &quot; It is possible to partner or outsource when the roles and value added are clearly defined for both organizations&quot;. Clearly defining goals, objectives, niches, etc is important in any partnership, especially in your instance as a 3rd party seller. I am excited that your business is doing well as an outsource organization. There are many organizations, especially small businesses, who require outsourcing to run their operation. I myself will be seeking to outsource some functions of my business in 2010.  

But back to your comment. To answer you question...you learn how to sell your great product. If, for what ever reason, the relationship with the outsourced organization no longer exists and a suitable one cannot be obtain...then the organization is dead in the water. Their means of income/profitability no longer exist and they must start from square one. Sure there are instances where this may not be the case all of the time but wouldn&#039;t you want to know how to sell the very thing that makes you money? Otherwise you are totally dependent on someone, something else.

Thank you for your comments.</description>

		<description>I think this is a great article! Although, I must disagree.  As a telemarketer, I found great success in selling products and services for clients. It is more about the niche and direction that both organizations must share to have success. It is possible to partner or outsource when the roles and value added are clearly defined for both organizations.  Otherwise, what do you do if you have a great product but unable to sell it?</description>
