You've read all about the all-important need to provide quality customer service - follow up - if you're selling ANYTHING online (or off).Now, before you groan and flip further into this ezine, take a moment and read on!Customer service CAN and DOES make or break your business.How often have you purchased some service or product online only to wait and wait to hear from that company? I'm not talking about the "here's your receipt" autoresponder, though of course that is vital, too. I'm talking about that personally written note
But the terrain isn’t entirely filled with the busted and broke. There’s still plenty of green out there—the kind that demonstrates that money, growth and social responsib
There once was an ugly duckling with feathers all stubby and brown. He didn’t realize he would one day be a swan so any face-to-face marketing technique he ever used ultimately resulted in widespread ridicule. This of course led the duck/swan to venture away from his family (who also considered him a bit of an odd duck).Everywhere the duck went he was ridiculed and chased away from other better established (and finely groomed) business fowl.Then one day while staying at the Blind Pigeon’s Inn he discovered the Internet (free with the weekly
Lots of corporate leaders – those inclined to be the battleship or cannon when they sit down in front of the big board – run their businesses with a cutthroat attitude and play with the company’s earnings like it’s, well, Monopoly money. This take-every-Chance-Card approach can sometimes produce short-term success, but it doesn’t guarantee against having to mortgage your Park Place and Boardwalk properties. Or going directly to jail, for that matter.
In recent years, there’ve been more than a few high profile business leaders trading in their pinstripe suits for pinstripe prison uniforms, leaving the corporate landscape littered with bankrupt companies. Enron, Tyco, Adelphia, Worldcom—the list of fiscally-irresponsible meltdowns goes on and on, recounted ad nauseum in news stories and films such as Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and The Corporation.

What information should I put on my business card? It will all depend on you. The common information that can be found on a business card includes your name, position or occupation, company or business, address of the company or where you do business from, your work phone number, home phone number, mobile phone number, and email address.

But the terrain isn’t entirely filled with the busted and broke. There’s still plenty of green out there—the kind that demonstrates that money, growth and social responsibility can all flourish together. Take John Mackey, for example.
Mackey runs the moolah-rich Whole Foods Market. WFM is a nation-wide chain of grocery stores that sells healthy, organic products, everything from pesticide-free lettuce to steroid-free steak. And it makes bank doing it. WFM is a $3.7 billion corporation. That’s right, billion.
