Think it may be a good idea to find some top flight bloggers and syndicate them across many newspapers? I think that’s a viable solution. Many of us are finding and sharing good content […]

Trump https://smbconsultinginc.com/2007/01/13/rosie-v-trump/ https://smbconsultinginc.com/2007/01/13/rosie-v-trump/#respond Sat, 13 Jan 2007 03:07:00 +0000 http://smbconsultinginc.com/blog/marketing/rosie-v-trump/ I generally try to stay away from soap opera garbage, but this one is simply too good to pass up. First, let me say I consider myself a Trump fan as I admire what he’s done in the business world. In contrast, I have never seen what Rosie O’Donnell brings to the table. She’s always […]

In all seriousness, please don’t let yourself or your company get into the trap of using one of these when dealing with your customers.

We don’t accept mediocrity (the company name’s obvious origin) very well, and we hate it when some coach, GM, or owner tries to sell us on […]

Thought I’d share the wealth a little instead of boring everyone with my Christmas shopping thoughts and musings. That’ll have to wait until tomorrow I suppose. Enjoy! ————————————— 1.

I had time to kill so I figured I’d browse through it to make the time go by a […]

If a potential client calls us up […]

Our family got together for a fantastic meal at my brother’s house in which his wife (Donna) cooked up a mean bird and her world famous green-beans. I used to hate green-beans, but she got me back to liking them to […]
