Pens Again

May

Here are our 2013 giveaway pens. They are actually nice.

#Business #Marketing

I just cleaned up my desk drawers and found this many pens. I have no use for them but I cannot throw them away as they are all good. I don't know how many pens I will find if I ask everyone to clean up the desks. I will donate this pile to Seattle Executives Association next week. I think they are running short pens.

Not a good day for the stock market

May

Today started off great but at the end it was down across the board. Not a very good day for the traders. Here are the stock watch list I have. It was not a good day for me but overall I am still up since March 28. That is when I open an account. I am glad that I am not doing this for living.

You have a Choice!!!

May

21

Every time you buy something, you have a choice. You can choose where you buy it from and how much you buy it for. Some sales people forget that we have a choice. And funny thing is that we do not alway buy something from the cheapest place either. We often buy it from the people you like, people you can relate to, people whom listen to you.

Always remember it is very easy to loose customer and you can only talk so much to retain your customer. You need to listen to your customer more than you talk. Let your product, service and reputation do the talking for you.

IMAGE: I really like 1959 Cadillac Eldorado ... Let the product do the talking.
