Ice Cream Kings: Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are Born
“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream,” proclaims Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of one of the most popular brands of ice cream in the U.S. Indeed, the success of Ben & Jerry’s since its launch almost thirty years ago seems to support his claim. From the $5 correspondence course in ice cream making Greenfield and his partner Ben Cohen took from the Pennsylvania State University in 1978, to being named “U.S. Small Business Persons of the Year” by President Reagan in 1988, the childhood friends not only achieved tremendous success, but they did so on their own terms.

Lesson #1: Business Benefits When You Behave Responsibly
“Ben and I built Ben & Jerry’s on the idea that business has a responsibility to the community and environment,” says Greenfield. “If you open up the mind, the opportunity to address both profits and social conditions are limitless. It’s a process of innovation.”

Lesson #2: Remember that Happy Workers are Harder Workers
They can bring their dogs to work, wear jeans if they choose and compete in company-sponsored Elvis impersonator contests. Indeed, Ben & Jerry’s employees seem to have more perks than even the worker-friendly Google. Much like the Internet giant, Ben & Jerry’s has long recognized the importance of making a workplace fun for its workers.

Lesson #3: Creative Marketing Will Generate Sales Success
Ben & Jerry’s is not your typical company. From its bright and multi-colour painted stores to its interactive animated website, Ben & Jerry’s has consistently shown creativity and imagination in its marketing strategies. Owners Greenfield and Cohen decided early on that ice cream was a fun product, and thus so too should be their means of promotion.

18 Business Trends for Your Sales Force
My guests were Mark Berezow, Gary Harvey and Rocky LaGrone. Before they handled one caller's sales force challenges (excellent stuff) , they commented on the state of business out there right now. They see:

Is a climate of perpetual discounting limiting choice and eroding our quality of life?
Gerry Harvey, (Harvey Norman) was recently bemoaning the culture of discounting in our retail sector. He was saying that retailers had lost the plot and didn’t know how to sell real value anymore. He said they had fallen foul of a culture of constant discounting as the only way to attract customers, which was tantamount to business disaster and a degradation of the retail sector. I happen to agree with Gerry in this instance. He went further by saying that retailers were failing to find out what customers really wanted and what they really valued. He said retailers weren’t offering choice – a range of options of different value and therefore were not selling.
