It seems lots of people and companies out there are trying hard to leave a bad impression.  If you want to join their ranks, here are a few tips:
<ul>
	<li>Don't respond to inquiries. If someone calls or emails, free free to ignore.</li>
	<li>Don't say thank you. If someone buys a product from you or gives you a contact or anything, don't bother saying thank you. That would be nice.</li>
	<li>Keep pounding away with the same message. Send the same offer over and over, a couple of times of day if possible.</li>
	<li>Solicit free advice. Ask around for all the free advice you can. After all, it's just advice, right?</li>
	<li>After you get your free advice, feel free to ignore it. Someone's an expert but that doesn't mean he/she knows what she/he is saying.</li>
	<li>Cancel or change plans at the last minute. Your time is more valuable than anybody else's.</li>
	<li>Use foul language. If you are on Twitter, go ahead, drop an f-bomb or two.</li>
	<li>Be crass, self-involved, self-promoting. It's all about you.</li>
</ul>
My question is: how hard are you trying to leave a bad impression?
