Firing a no-win customer

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 01:08:01 +0000

I am always leery of this type of customer – They want your response ASAP (yesterday, nearly) They give you an extremely short deadline They are very particular (in a not so nice way) They are not up front with all of their demands until after they get you to agree to work with them [...]

The Customer is NOT Always Right

admin — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:06:50 +0000

So I had to email a customer to ask what she ordered because for some strange reason all her order info came through except what she ordered (9 out of 10 times if this happens it is due to the customer having browser problems). She emails me back with a rant that my phones weren’t [...]

I didn’t just cut advertising at Christmas, I eliminated it

A bold statement indeed. It’s true, though. For one of my businesses I actually shutdown all of my paid advertising during the busiest part of the year for my business – Christmas. I didn’t even do it to save money. I looked at all of my statistics and traffic and came to the decision quite [...]

Woot! Squidoo paid me over $100 this month

First, you might wonder just what exactly is Squidoo and why they would pay me over $100? Squidoo is the brainchild of internet marketing legend Seth Godin. It's a community that allows you to build a lens (basically a web page) on any subject/niche you can think of. There are modules that allow you to add text, pictures, polls, and a ton more.

Do customers read policies online or just call the company?

On my online storefront I try to make it as easy as possible for customers to find all of the information they need to complete the purchase. I post shipping information such as price and estimated arrival time. I try to include as much product information as possible so that the customer clearly knows what [...]

The joys of working at home

Sometimes I feel guilty that I work at home

admin — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:59:17 +0000

Strange isn’t it? I love what I do so much that it is difficult to refer to it as ‘work.’ As if by calling it ‘work’ I am attaching a stigma that this is something unenjoyable that I simply have to do. Whether I am working on marketing or building baskets (woodworking! I love it) [...]

Some people can’t hack working from home. They either can’t discipline themselves to avoid distractions and actually get some work done or they aren’t used to not having someone tell them what to do all day. I stepped out of the workforce just before our first child was born. My wife is a teacher and [...]
