What Position Is Your Marketing for Small Business Communication In?
| |
| Many small business communications suffer from the same flaw – they appear more interested in themselves than the customers. What do I mean? Let's take a typical website introduction.
"Welcome to the ABCD website. ABCD have proudly been in business since 1987. We are a family owned company that prides itself of the great service we provide."
It is all about ABCD and nothing about the customer!

Ask These Questions Before Becoming A Franchisee
| |
| Recently I took a short business trip which required some air travel. My traveling companion on the way back, not getting my subtle hint of isolation that my Ipod Touch and headphones projected asked me about my trip and then my profession.

Do you work with jerks?
| |
| Did you ever wonder how much time is spent being annoyed (or annoying others) at work? A whopping 93 percent of workers report being negatively affected by an inability to deal with conflict on the job. They are told to "forget it", "deal with it on personal time" or "it's no big deal".
