Yesterday I called the company I contract most of my writing through.
The first thing out of the mouth of the woman I talked to was, “We thought you didn’t like us anymore.”
Huh?
I told her that since we hadn’t talked in two weeks I had feared the same thing.
Had I not followed up, I […]
Yes, you’re still on the business channel, don’t get scared, this won’t take long.
I’ve been potty training my 3-year-old on and off (for her safety and my sanity!) for the last four months. She has gone through bouts where she screamed when someone said the word “potty” all the way to being all zealous […]
Today is my birthday.
Of course, I wouldn’t have a party on Monday night, so we had it this past Saturday when people were off work and available to attend. One of the things I’ve done the past couple years is to invite both business and personal acquaintances/friends to the birthday party at my home. I […]
On Successful and Outstanding Bloggers (successful-blog.com for those of you who type URLs) Liz writes something deep and meaningful on social networking:

I’ve heard people say things pay off in spades before, but today is the first day something has paid off for me in truffles.
A friend of mine perceived her experience with a service provider I personally recommended as less-than-positive.
I felt awful about it and offered to do the same service for her, […]

So you met this great person, you hung out, you went to networking events and had lots of fun and made a bunch of connections. For whatever reason, you started talking less and less, until you hadn’t talked to them in a few months. What to do?
Pick up the phoneAfter a certain amount of time, […]
You’re probably thinking that I’ve lost my mind, talking about direct mail in a networking blog. Well I lost my mind a long time ago, but stick with me…this will all make sense in a paragraph or so!
Someone asked me yesterday if they should send out a letter to 70 companies identified from a […]
When you make a business acquaintance, you probably covered some personal stuff along with exchanging information on just how darn smart you both are and how great your businesses are.
That’s normal, and good, and bully for you getting someone to open up to you and be comfortable!
When you follow up with them, don’t […]
