What impresses me about a small business or practice?
Posted by: | Comments- Predictability of service.
- Customer service mentality from everyone in the company.
- Professional sales and marketing systems.
- Organization and efficiency in operations.
- Sleekness and style of office, equipment and processes.
- A committed mission and passion.
- A desire to bring value and the lowest possible cost.
- A desire to get better tomorrow than they are today.
- Convenience of doing business.
- A focus on giving back and not on keeping more.
These are in no particular order, but they are all important when I evaluate patronizing a business.

I recommend Seth Godin’s blog for a little bit of everything
Posted by: | CommentsI highly recommend Seth Godin’s blog.
I don’t agree with him on every issue, but he has some serious knowledge of trends in marketing and productivity- among other things. I bet we’re as different as night and day, but we have this in common- he knows marketing and I want to learn it much better.
He is very consistent in his blogging and it is usually encouraging to me. I read the Dip a while back and just recently finished Meatball Sundae and Tribes. I’m going to trim down the number of blogs I follow and this won’t be one of them.
