Some people in sales think a lead is a name from a list. That's not correct. A name from a list is not a lead--it's a suspect, a total stranger and it does not matter if they meet some criteria (e.g. age, occupation, net worth).

-Current trends towards Free trade in Asia as well as in China / US relations. Online business is based on the free flow of information as well as goods and transactions, without much regard for national borders which seem artificial in comparison.
