Why I Never Call on Monday Morning

This may sound obvious, but I never call people on Monday morning.
No matter what you do, unless you specifically make an effort to keep Monday mornings free…they tend to be a storm of activity. Things get lost in the cracks and messages get misplaced.
It’s one of the reasons most experts recommend not sending […]

Gossip vs. WOM Marketing

For those who may not know, WOM stands for Word of Mouth :)
This afternoon we start off with a MarketingProfs article, and then my analysis of the article. Yea! Trust me, this one is chock-full-of-info. The post on the whole, not just the following article.

No One Cares if You’re Poor, Fat, or Ugly

Mmmmm…inferiority issues…

You think the pretty girl has an easier life.
The handsome guy must have girls fawning over him.
The speaker at the event knows so much more than you and you’ll never be that successful.

Give Me My Arm Back!

I know there are many books out there that tell you that in order to bond properly with someone you need to grasp them in a two handed shake rather than the standard handshake. Some even go so far as to recommend grasping the forearm of the person who’s hand you are shaking.
