		<description><![CDATA[I was speaking with a class of management students this week at the University of Georgia.  My topic was on getting customers, but I veered off topic a little when we got to communication to customers and word-of-mouth marketing.  I mentioned that bad word of mouth marketing - the media saying bad things about you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To say that I saw the best salesman in any industry at work is an understatement.  I saw someone stop traffic...I mean he stopped traffic, people got out of their cars, and spent money right there at the street.  He is beyond a doubt the very best.

    * I saw him stand at the front counter and grab people's attention with a wave and smile.
    * He was charming and polite.
    * He asked customers for the sale and then asked them if they wanted more.  He asked enough questions until he got to the word "No".
    * He was fast serving them.
    * He was quick to close the sale.
    * He mentioned that they could stop back for more later...for an additional fee.
    * He thanked them warmly and continued to be polite.
    * He knew the sale did not end the relationship with the customer.
    * He asked them to mention the products to friends.

I was proud.  I was very proud.]]></description>

It is always the execution that we stumble on.  Mostly because we get the right idea with the wrong delivery.  I was passing this sign and had to take the picture.  It seems innocuous, but add the word &#8220;IF&#8221; to the end of the message and you have a whole new meaning.  It would be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm assuming that for those in business ownership, server boredom did not drive them to the decision. So with the objective of making a profit in mind let's get our priorities strait. First in line is paying for the expense of doing business, next is paying your employee's. Third is paying the business itself, and lastly you get paid. If you are an employee then you get paid a lot sooner. Lastly if there is very little wiggle room due to an enormous overhead you are in a losing battle and need to reformat your business model or call it quits as soon as possible.]]></description>
