<div style="text-align:left;font:18px times new roman,times;font-weight:bold;color:#003366">What We Do</div>
<div style="text-align:left;font:16px times new roman,times;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:15px;">We change behaviors. It sounds simple, but it really isn’t. No matter what you are selling, you need to change the behavior of those who you <em>want</em> to be your customers. They have a current behavior of buying someone else’s product. You want them – no, you NEED them to buy your product. Consequently, your customers need to learn a new behavior.</div>
<div style="text-align:left;font:16px times new roman,times;font-weight:normal;"><strong><em></em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align:left;font:16px times new roman,times;font-weight:normal;;margin-bottom:15px;"><strong><em>But, the only way you are going to get your customers to change their behavior is if you change your behavior first.</em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align:left;font:16px times new roman,times;font-weight:normal;">This is where we come in. <span style="text-align:right;"><a style="color:#003366" href="http://www.smtdbiz.com/?page_id=27">Click here</a></span> to read more.</div>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-78" title="hm_chart" src="http://www.smtdbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/hm_chart2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="border:1px solid #333333;background-color:#E4EDEF;font: 14px times;padding:3px;"><strong><em>SMTD</em></strong> is committed to our local community. We donate 10% of our revenue to non-profit organizations that provide meaningful support to families in the greater Conejo Valley in Southern California.</div>
