    Customer Service for Customer Service Consultants
    Many customer service consultants do not give good customer service themselves to the corporations who hire them for advice and training. This is rather interesting, as it shows a total disregard for the customer, while purporting to be an expert on customer service.Too many people who are semi retired will go into the customer service consulting industry and set up a web site and pretend to be someone of extreme importance and know

    The TV Shoot, The Spoiled Brat, And A Painful Lesson
    It was two days before our shoot. I was in the office with the client going over the story boards and filling him in on all the details for his latest television campaign. At that time, with my agency being in its infancy stage, we were taking in any client we could, which is why I was seated across from the “Redneck Crazy Man” as I liked to refer to him. He owned a string of low end rental car shops and his only redeeming quality was that
    1. Million Dollar Homepage

    http://milliondollarhomepage.com/

    1000000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel – that’s perhaps the dumbest idea for online business anyone could have possible come up with. Still, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old who came up with the idea, is now a millionaire.

    Ok, how’s that for a brilliant idea. Get a postal address at North Pole, Alaska, pretend you are Santa Claus and charge parents 10 bucks for every letter you send to their kids? Well, Byron Reese sent over 200000 letters since the start of the business in 2001, which makes him a couple million dollars richer.

    Is Your Business Phone Number Honest?
    Your business is listed in the Yellow Pages whether you buy an ad or not. Your business is listed in the Yellow Book and the other phone books, too, no purchase necessary. Yup, free listings in the yellow pages. Provided, you have a business line, in the name of your business, at the phone company. Advertising your home number as a "business" can only lead to confusion and a problem when the phone company finds out.It's as bad for

    Take a Good Look at Yourself... and Grow Your Business
    Imagine This! I am going to have to ask you to use your imagination a bit. Picture a middle-aged male, 6 feet tall, long, wavy blond hair, about 185lbs. Now for the fun part, he is dressed in a yellow tutu, a tiara adorns his head; he has a magic wand in one hand, a megaphone in the other and a toothbrush in his mouth.For the record, the picture you have conjured up is me. So why the picture you ask or maybe it is more li

    Scary Subliminal Advertising And Why It Works
    According to an April 2006 issue of the New Scientist, research has proven that subliminal advertising messages work… and that if conditions are right, subliminal advertising to promote a brand can be made to work.Previous experiments claiming this were debunked. But in a recent experiment, scientists found that eighty per cent of volunteers who had been exposed to the subliminal advertising message chose that product, compared to on

    Create a deck of cards featuring exercise routines, and sell it online for $18.95. Sounds like a disaster idea to me. But former Navy SEAL and fitness instructor Phil Black reported last year sales of $4.7 million. Surely beats what military pays.

    How would you like to go on a date with an HIV positive person? Paul Graves and Brandon Koechlin thought that someone would, so they created a dating site for HIV positive folks last year. Projected 2006 sales are $110,000, and the two hope to have 50,000 members by their two-year mark.

    Christie Rein was tired of carrying diapers around in a freezer bag. The 34-year-old mother of three found herself constantly stuffing diapers for her infant son into freezer bags to keep them from getting scrunched up in her purse. Rein wanted something that was compact, sleek and stylish, so in November 2004, she sat down with her husband, Marcus, who helped her design a custom diaper bag that's big enough to hold a travel pack of wipes and two to four diapers. With more than $180,000 in sales for 2005, Christie's company, Diapees & Wipees, has bags in 22 different styles, available online and in 120 boutiques across the g
