11. What are your likes and dislikes of the Internet Marketing industry?
Roxanne - Likes: fast results, quick turn arounds Dislikes: the cowboys that make our jobs harder.

14. What do you feel makes Sayu unique to other companies within our market?
Roxanne - The way it was started and the relaxed atmosphere.
Fergus - Having worked for another business in the market I would have to say their honesty and the fact that they allow clients to come and visit them or be visited by a representative. Something that would never have happened at my old job.

15. What advice would you give to anybody looking to launch their company on the internet?
Roxanne - Contact Sayu for help and advice!
Fergus - Find a company you can trust and can build a good working relationship with as it's to easy to suffer at the hands of a cowboy organisation in this market.
