WordPress For The Business Owner

Wordpress For The Business Owner When you bring your business online the first thing you'll need is a website. The top choice of over 10,000 sites on the Intra-net is WordPress. The most influential people and companies in the world are using WordPress. No small wonder it's the most universal online publishing platform in the world. Maybe you didn't realize that eBay, Oprah and even the Whitehouse uses WordPress for their website. Just take one look at the thousands of companies listed at http://www.wordpress.org and you'll see that if you aren't built in WordPress- you'll want to switch fast!

Loving Your Customers Is Good Business

Loving Your Customers Is Good Business By: Sandi Krakowski Loving your customers is about service, not sales. Like most people, I hate to be sold to, but if you serve me better than the shop down the street does, I’m coming back to see you again and again. I’ll even pay more for the same product because you make me feel valued. Loved, even. Here’s an example. I recently bought two cars from the same local car dealership, two months apart. The first purchase was like doing business with a longtime friend. The staff welcomed us, and everybody made sure we were taken care of. The salesman queried us about our needs and preferences, explained features and options we weren’t aware of, and answered our questions. We felt like our purchase was the most important one [...]

Why Most JV “Joint Venture” Marketing Is Like Prostitution & How To Build A Big Business With Loyal Clients

Why Most JV "Joint Venture" Marketing Is Like Prostitution & How To Build A Big Business With Loyal Clients By: Sandi Krakowski One of the greatest things Steve Jobs did so well was create loyal followers. As a devoted Apple fan myself I always chuckle when I run to get the latest product launch, knowing full well that I will be a beta- tester because all of their products get tested by customers and not geeks locked up in a test room. It doesn't bother me that there will be an update released and I'll need to install it and back up my machine to do so. Apple has won my loyalty. They've never done me wrong. Interestingly enough I've never been pitched by a competing vendor or business partner through Apple's email [...]
