Lessons Learned From An E-Commerce Adventure reat customers/clients differently than your competitors?It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all; and even more important to learn from your mistakes.That is what I keep telling myself after having invested the time and cash equivalent to a Harvard MBA in an e-commerce start-up that has stalled and is winding down. Not a happy prospect in light of all the media pre-occupation with e-commerce success stories and the young millionaires watching their IPOs rocket into cyberspace. But the headlines ig ~ Who are your “best” customers/clients, and what do they have in common? ~ Which areas of your small business receive the most compliments? ~ What are the benefits customers/clients receive from each of your products/services?

It took a lot of advance wor Getting Down To Business - Employee Performance Appraisals December marked the 40th anniversary of the original broadcast of the classic “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer”©, network television’s longest-running, highest-rated holiday special. From my earliest childhood memories, watching Rudolph has been a tradition, one that continues today with my own family.When it comes to manning your company, you should aim to know absolutely everything that goes in and out of it. From how much profit the company makes monthly to employee satisfaction. And because it is the company’s duty to know as much as possible, an employee performance appraisal is highly recommended to be done every now and then so that the company will be able to determine what employees are performing well and which ones are in need of improvement.1.

I’m cute! She said I’m cuuuuute!”/“Now you come to elf practice, learn how to wiggle your ears and chuckle warmly and go hee-hee and ho-ho and important stuff like that.” I guess Rudolph remains forever etched in our minds and memories. Just in time for Christmas, there was a 40th Anniversary Collector’s Edition DVD that includes a previously deleted scene and a bonus CD featuring Destiny’s Child. There are also new lighted tree ornaments, snow globe, jigsaw puzzle, inflatable yard decorations and exclusive Beary-Limited® edition, commemorative Rudolph at Build-A-Bear Workshop. No doubt, all of these products are part of a carefully designed strategy by marketing experts to capitalize on our love of Rudolph and his misfit friends. Success Handler Action: After you finish reading this, gather your team and discuss why customers/clients love you. Be sure to remember they “buy” for different reasons than you “sell”.
