Here's our first post:

We'd like to ask you a question:  What's the best sales advice you've ever gotten from a travel supplier?

To send us your answer, go to <a href="http://www.ossn.com/secure/education/bbs/index.asp">OSSN's bulletin board</a> and type in your reply!  We'll pull selected answers to feature in another blog post next week.

(The OSSN bulletin board is for members only. If you're reading this, but you don't belong to OSSN, <a href="http://www.ossn.com/join.asp" target="_blank">find out what you're missing</a>!)

Thanks for your help -- and, watch for more updates as the new OSSN blog takes shape!
