How to Increase Sales with a Customer Follow-Up
"Hi Theresa, I think the intention above is to be seen as caring about your customers, but it's a fine line between demonstrating care & being seen as annoying. If a customer searches for an item & buys, they may intend it as a one-off, and not want a lot of follow up (by which I mean continuing to email for weeks & months after the single 1st-time/1-time purchase w/suggestions & reminders of your services. & products). businessavante (Duncan)"Five Examples of Why Among Small Private Companies, Good Management Is More Important Than Ever
"Hi Mark, From what I understand about investing, it has nothing to do with "normal" business considerations.

How to be a Ninja in PR: A Strategy for Stealth and Agility
"Hi Stacey, I think I get what businesses & bloggers mean using the Ninja analogy, and they're pretty cool in movies, but what puzzles me is that they were basically top-notch, expertly trained hired assassins. It's the last part that's a tad "left field". But I do get the intent, so it's OK if we all temporarily ignore the assassin angle. businessavante (Duncan) "
