Often when doing research for clients we ask their customers to rate them on a 10 point numeric scale. If they rate the client a 9 or a 10 we ask the asset focused question. “What are the favorable components of your experience with the Company? For almost all of our clients the #1…
Last week was great and as always I’m grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way. I’m in the middle of a job in Colorado and after last week’s workshop, the CEO of the company, at my request, gave me some feedback about a little something I could add to the program that…
I walked into the mailbox store last week to pick up my mail. The counter inside the door, usually filled with business cards and flyers from the mailbox holders and the local merchants was empty. Naked. Unadorned. It struck me immediately as strange and left me feeling sad, disconnected, and odd. For so long those…
Do you know the magic question ? My local Publix market is very customer friendly. They actively encourage their customers to take advantage of their “carry out” service and have their bags taken right out to their cars.

My plane was hours late. I arrived at the hotel tired and cranky. A major head cold (and possibly fever) was brewing and worst of all I hadn’t eaten any dinner, and was hungry. As I approached the hotel coffee shop I saw a woman at the cash register. She was counting money. I…

I love my travel agent Susan. I love my hairdresser Tonja. I love my IPOD. I love my wish list and one click ordering on Amazon. Seems like a lot of other people love the convenience of Amazon too. It was just rated #1 – the top brand in a list of 20 brands rated…
I was sitting on the beach in NY last week happily snacking on some healthy junk food from Trader Joes; when I turned to Suzanne and began my lament. “I so wish there were Trader Joes in FL where I live, every time I come here or go to CA to visit my daughter I…
It’s mango season in Florida. It’s been going on a few weeks and even every little corner convenience store has a bin with fresh, local and juicy mangos. Yum. That’s probably why I was inspired to order the snapper with mango salsa a week ago when I went out to dinner with my friend…
Today’s my 21st anniversary of being in business. Wow. That’s a long time and a lot of learning. I began with an idea. Imagine if you will, that every business sits atop a tripod – three legs, needing to be in balance to keep the business stable. Each leg represents a set of relationships. One…
