                                                                Hello everyone! What sets you apart as a sales person is your ability to add that personal touch to your business relationship with your customers. Sending a gift on a special day, or leaving a note wishing them on their birthdays, are small, yet significant actions that show your customers that you care. And these are actions done without any expectations :) You must be engaging with a lot of customers and it is highly unlikely that they all are your friends on Facebook or some social channel,

I would seriously like to utilize CDN such as MAX CDN and cloudflare. Its that am not able to change dns with dot in website. Which is a great catch. Today site speed matters a lot both for business or personal sites. I have lot of visitors from different parts of the world and they suggest to make the website more faster. I would be great if I'm able to use dns or may be cdn.
