Getting My Attention
| |
| Every day I get inbound emails from entrepreneurs looking for funding. I triage these quickly as I can usually tell within a couple of minutes of looking at whatever is attached (executive summary, overview, intro powerpoint) whether or not it's in an area that I'm interested in investing in. Since my top level filter is "theme" it's easy to make a quick call. If you've ever sent me something, hopefully you've gotten a quick response. |

What’s All The Fuss About Twitter?
| |
| At first, I didn’t get twitter. Being in the SEO business I tried it but didn’t understand how this could possibly be helpful. Nor did I understand the need to "be connected socially" with "twitter people". This quickly changed.

Crisis intensifiers: From Mild to Radioactive why crisis sometimes gets out of hand.

When crisis strikes, quick response may mitigate its effects. Ide III & Yarn (2003), suggest the almost insatiable appetite of the news media for sensationalism, and its ability to share such information widely and instantaneously, can quickly turn a mere rumor or speculation into a full blown crisis potentially damaging reputation and undermining legitimacy to exist. |

Tips on Writing Auto-responders with PUNCH!
| |
| Auto-responders are a business's best friend. Before we cover tips on writing fantastic auto-responders, here is a quick recap. What exactly is an auto-responder? Think about when you meet someone and you ask them "How are you?" Most times the automatic response is "Fine thanks". People don't even think – the answer just automatically comes out.
Now – transfer this to your computer. Most people are aware of the "sorry I am holidays so can't answer your email" type of autoresponder email.

First Call --- Last Look
| |
| A former colleague of mind was fond of quoting what he considered "less competent" sales people who claim--- "My customers don't give last looks."
His response; "Well, that just means someone else is getting it - Batman!"
I really love that quote. Unfortunately it doesn't go far enough. The real question is what do you do when you get last look? Do you automatically match the low price? Unfortunately, that is the first response of most sales people. In fact, it is often the first response of many managers.
The real test is how you maintain the business at a price that is profitable, acceptable and meets your margin objectives. Can you sell the customer at a higher price when he has a lower priced quote staring him in the face? |
