Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I submit a press release?
Press Releases may be submitted by E-mail to: industrynews@salesandmarketingnetwork.com
Be sure to include the words "News Release" in the subject line, and
your contact information for verification purposes. Release may be submitted in
either plain text or MS Word format. Please note that our news editors make the
final determination regarding eligibility of releases for inclusion in the NEWSFEED.
How do I submit a meeting
or event for inclusion in the Meetings & Events Calendar?
Meeting notices may be submitted by E-mail to:
meetings@salesandmarketingnetwork.com
Be sure to include the title, dates, location, sponsoring organization and your
contact information for verification purposes.
How should I search for a word or phrase
in the NewsFeed or news archive?
The NewsFeed search engine will find stories containing words, phrases or fragments
EXACTLY as entered. Do not use commas or other characters to separate
multiple words. For example, the search term Baxter
Healthcare will only match a news item if that item contains the
exact phrase Baxter Healthcare, while the search term Baxter
will match Baxter, Baxter Healthcare,
Baxter Inc., etc. Likewise, coronary stents
will only match coronary stents, while coronary
stent will match coronary stent, coronary stents
or coronary stenting.

Network.
What's an Online Bio?
The Online Bio is a biographical sketch containing a member's contact info and
biographical details. Exactly what details it includes is up to each member. (If
you are a Member and have not seen your Bio yet, click EDIT
ONLINE BIO (on the left side of any page), or just click
here to take a look now.)
Does filling in my Online
Bio mean that I'm looking for a new job? [Members]
No, not at all! Online Bio's are like detailed business cards: use
them to network with peers and colleagues, and make sure they can find you.
How do I update
my Online Bio? [Members]
Updating or editing your Online Bio is easy. Click on EDIT
ONLINE BIO (on the left side of any page) and use the simple form to add,
edit or remove anything you wish. Your changes are made instantly when you click
the UPDATE button. Experienced members update their
bios often.

the present entry without selecting a new one, just click on any blank line in
the drop-down list. (Don't forget to click the UPDATE
button!)
How do I select more than one item in a multiple "drop-down" list? [Members]
If the instructions next to a "drop-down" list say that you can select
more than one item, you may use the CTRL-CLICK
method on most Windows computers: After you have highlighted the first
item you wish to select, hold down the CTRL key
on your keyboard while clicking the next item you wish to select. For a third
item, CTRL-CLICK again, and so on.
How can I change the name
on my Online Bio? [Members]
Your Online Bio was created for you with your name as you entered it when you

Bob, or from Rebecca to Becky, visit MEMBER
SERVICES, or just click here
to submit a name change request. Be sure to include your password. Your request
will be processed promptly, and you will receive a confirmation message when your
name change has been completed.
Why am I asked for my password again when editing
my Online Bio? [Members]
Your password is required to make any changes to your personal Online Bio, even
if you are already logged in to The Network. This
security precaution prevents anyone with access to your computer from making changes
without your permission, and ensures that the correct record is updated when two
or more members share a computer.
Who can see my Online Bio? [Members]
Members of The Network have access to the MEMBER
DIRECTORY, and can browse or search for the Online Bio's of other sales
& marketing professionals.
How do I search for other
Sales & Marketing Professionals? [Members]
Searching or browsing the Directory is easy: just click on MEMBER
DIRECTORY. In the search form, fill in one or two (or more) fields, then
click the SEARCH button. If your search returns
too many results, go back and fill in an additional field to narrow your search.
If your search comes up empty, go back and try filling in fewer fields to broaden
your search.

Why can't I see the scrolling
news headlines? (My Internet Explorer browser says "Java is not installed or is
disabled.")
1. You probably have Windows XP. Microsoft has removed the Java software from
the version of Internet Explorer that ships with Windows XP Home and Professional
Editions for competitive reasons. There is a simple solution: Click
here to visit the Java website and download the free Java plug-in software.
After it is installed, the scrolling headlines will appear. You will now be able
to use special features on The Network and on many
other websites that require Java.
2. Check your browser settings (Tools > Internet Options
> Advanced), and make sure that "Java," "JRE", or "Windows
Virtual Machine (VM)" is enabled.
