Why One of a Kind Products Are an Ego Trip You Want Your Customers To Take
"Hi Marz, I'm not sure buying "custom" is necessarily an ego trip - it depends on the motives of those buying. People who have an idea of what they could use that's not available via mass-production may want something for a specific utilitarian need. It might not have anything to do with them being the only ones who have it. businessavante (Duncan) "The Importance of Telephone Etiquette
"Hi Sathish, I'd add that for outgoing calls it's equally important to ID your business, yourself, and the reason for the call right away. One of the most annoying things telemarketers do is start right out asking questions: is this Mr. So-&-so? Then they deliver their scripted pitch w/o ever identifying who's calling in the 1st place. If they don't stop I hit the "tone" button followed by * or #. businessavante (Duncan)"How to Manage Your Time in Your Internet Business – Work Better and Have More Fun
"Interesting how the old way can sometimes out perform the computerized way, Alex. Electronic organizers are great if you're on a plane & need a quick reminder, but a paper calendar right in front of you on your desk doesn't need to be booted-up to remind you of your deadlines. businessavante (Duncan)"Gaining Twitter Followers
"Hi Rich, If one auto-follows hundreds or thousands a day (as you recommend), one becomes a spammer's heaven, not to mention a great host for the porno & other weirdo-types who WILL all show up on your Twitter home page. I've also recently had messages of people following me (looking to be followed so they can then unfollow me 25 hours later), and when I check their page (which I always do), there's no bio (that's an automatic reason for me not to follow), or worse, a blank page so their tweets are invisible - I don't want garbage on my home page, so I carefully decide who to follow. Indeed 90% of those I don't follow-back unfollow me soon after - proof they're ONLY out to game the system (if their reason for following was sincere in the 1st place, they wouldn't unfollow). businessavante (Duncan)"Subscribe
