Sounds as though it was fascinating so thank-you for sharing your thoughts on it. I particularly like the description of “If you are your best person when you come to work, we benefit.”. It is these intangible outcomes of our behaviours that so many people find difficult to comprehend while for others they are obvious.

One thing I notice on the retail side of things is the huge difference between small owner run stores and large chains where sales staff simply have no interest in customers and seem more engrossed in chatting with each other - customer service? There are of course exceptions and I like many others tend to stick to those stores and chains that do go out of their way to engage with potential customers.

Not that long ago we were becoming worried about the amount of advertising spend that was moving from traditional channels to the web. Now it appears that advertising within social media alone is growing Wed, 17 Nov 2010 15:03:02 +0000 http://www.businessblogshub.com/2010/11/the-rise-of-social-network-ad-spending/#IDComment110251046 http://www.businessblogshub.com/2010/11/the-rise-of-social-network-ad-spending/#IDComment110249318 There are some staggering figures here. Not that long ago we were becoming worried about the amount of advertising spend that was moving from traditional channels to the web. Now it appears that advertising within social media alone is growing, potentially at the expense of 'traditional' web based advertising. How times change!

Focussing on what others need and desire and delivering it with passion and conviction is incredibly powerful and is what people really want in times of difficulty or change. Glad to have discovered your blog.

I've been working my way through the book and now appreciate what I must and must not do in order for Facebook to work for my business. With so many sites out there and opportunities for on-line networking it's important for small businesses to optimize their use of sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin (on top of their own web-sites and blogs). With a reported half a billion Facebook users (I do wonder how many are live accounts by the way) it's a fair bet that existing and potential clients/customers will use it and just as a few years back it was becoming the norm for all companies to have a web-site it now looks as though we are seeing the same with Facebook. Your e-book is a very welcome, and timely, guide to getting Facebook right first time for a business. Thanks again.

Much of the guidance and advice for businesses to make referrals comes from the US where the practice is extremely common and individuals don't feel they have to hold back in any way. Not the same the world over though. Paul Tue, 1 Jun 2010 15:34:49 +0000 http://businessblogs.co.nz/2010/06/pay-it-forward/#IDComment78053296 http://businessblogs.co.nz/2010/05/are-websites-about-to-become-obsolete/#IDComment75008245 There's no doubt that websites are becoming more flexible and being kept up to date via twitter steams and short blog postings etc. The fact remains however that for companies selling products or services it is information about those products and services that visitors to the site want to find easily. Providing that information is kept up to date there is a danger that all the interactive add-ons could be seen as a distraction. Just a thought.
