Agreed.... rather than meeting to talk about the ecosystem, why not try to build your piece of it. Less meetings. More revenue.

Re: Happy Holidays 2009- My Photo Project

Chris - I think the best expression of the holiday season is the element of surprise. I think this shot I took of my nephew captures that well. http://bit.ly/6asGhB

Hope your holidays were great.

I couldn't agree more Chris. I *thought* like most folks December was going to be dead, but with some extra effort now we've beat our October and November numbers.

Our approach to clients was let's work hard with you these remaining weeks while your competition sips egg nog and coasts into 2010. I'm grateful and thrilled to end 2009 this way.

Re: Decision-making is a skill that great leaders practice and perfect

earwood — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:00:20 -0000

Mike - I like this topic because you're raising an interesting point. Leaders are judged on the ability to make decisions and their related outcomes. I think decision discernment may be the better trait to practice.

Does this book explain how to practice making better decisions or just discern between the important and the trivial? Just curious. Good stuff.

Mark - Andy's politely saying I'm not short on words, which is very true. Our Member Minded team is excited about Andy's involvement. It's a great fit.

Thanks Deryl. I'm really looking forward to this one. The crowd will be sizable so the networking will be great, I just have keep up my end of the deal.

Re: How to Wow For Less than $3.00

earwood — Fri, 29 May 2009 12:33:50 -0000

Gregg - I'm not a AL junkie, but here's the best pitch I can give... sites like Yelp or City Search allow anonymous reviews (i.e. - your username could be gwstar19 and I wouldn't really know who you are. AL at least posts who I am so a user can see that I actually live in Louisville.

Another BIG selling point to me is... paying money keeps out trolls and hinders those gaming the system. While a business could buy 10 friends a membership to go say nice things, I believe most won't because it look so odd in the context of Angie's List.

I prefer to ask folks that I know for a referral, but I think Angie's List is the next best step if you can't find a person you know.

Mike - Thank you very much for the update and I'm happy to hear OsX worked (especially with wifi). How come the Verizon card was a headache? I thought that would be easy and please keep me updated with your progress.

Thanks!

Re: How Do You Create Urgency?

Leigh - Great one! Definitely another way to turn the discussion is opportunity cost or damage. Love it.

Matt - Thanks for the comment. I agree deadlines many times (just like sales offers) do seem arbitrary. Motivation or understanding of a larger picture could definitely help.

Re: Zappos’ Amazing Return Policy

earwood — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:54:39 -0000

Deryl - I agree. It's really hard NOT to like Zappos. I'm just impressed that they don't have to play the cheapest, "always on sale" game.
