Re: David Jones transforms customer service to meet online growth

In the real world what this did was stop calls from customers to the stores. The "Assistant" does not even recognise brand names within the store. It costs money and sales to the stores. I wonder who is measuring that metric. Nobody is my guess.

can only imagine the orange zest is per torta not spead between 24. More flavour add more zest and whatever flavouring is your pleasure.

Also Leonard Cohen
"A singer must die for the lie in his voice
And I thank you, I thank you for doing your duty
You keepers, you keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty

Your vision is right, my vision is wrong
I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song"

Grammarist calls this as out of use for a century. Spitting image is the modern usage.

Perhaps this page needs to be listed on Snopes.

Thanks for sharing your very personal story. It seems that many business owners choose to face their business failing rather than seek help before things get dire. Good luck for your future ventures.

Re: How poor website technology choice unnecessarily cost this SME thousands

Lindy Asimus — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:11:54 -0000

Good advice and a common problem. Unfortunately your average small business owner doesn't know what a CMS is or does nor anything else technical that separates one method of website setup to another. They lack the fundamental understanding they need to choose well, and have no useful way to know what they are comparing in a practical sense, one quote from another.

This is not because they are somehow stupid, it is just not their area of expertise it seems that mostly information they can find on these kinds of topics are filled with acronyms and jargon they don't understand.

That those who design websites largely don't seem to have any interest in the best outcomes for the client and the effectiveness and practical aspects of the site long-term, is a mystery to me.

Yes. It's unfortunate that FB doesn't deign to provide search function on Pages too.

Let's not forget Branson also makes sure someone who is good at the 'finishing' element is around to take care of the details. He doesn't attempt to do it all himself.

I'd hazard to guess most (I use the term deliberately) don't have a conscious strategy that has a purpose in mind. ;-)

Great question and for most the answer should be YES

I'm a bit confused now. i am not sure if the book is poorly written as this article or this is just a muddled summary that effectively removes any cohesive thought from the book itself.

Nice article. I agree on the networking (not the chamber) and like the way you've highlighted the Kansas example and the 'find other big dreamers' message. Very timely for me too. Thanks!

Re: Are people selling you snake oil?

Lindy Asimus — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 23:10:54 -0000

This stuff bugs me. Preying on the insecure is just the most appalling behaviour. And there is far far too much of it. I don't know what is worse - peddling this nonsense or those peddling it who actually believe they are doing something "valuable" as they damage these people and fleece them.

Certainly not my top 10 by a long shot.

Re: Hey Wine Industry, You’re Looking at Wine Bloggers all Wrong

Lindy Asimus — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:56:17 -0000

This is a factor for all business, wine included but really we can fall into the bubble of our own experience and forget that not all those who might read our blog know what we know and the scope for original material to post about is vast. But remember that visuals are highly valued now online and not all information that might begin on a blog is doomed to just stay there. Indeed the blog is the easy way into Content Marketing and begins the process for sharing original on to other platforms which will help drive sales but also can be incorporated into direct mail - which is enduring as the most valuable channel for generating sales.

A structured approach takes a lot of the stress away from this activity. And it is worth mentioning I think, having a blog doesn't necessarily make one a blogger. Unless that's how one prefers to regard themselves.

Looks good but I missed the part that showed your involvement in Shuttlerock. At a start price of $500 a month it is a bit expensive no?

Re: SMEs discover why content is the king of online success

Lindy Asimus — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:28:14 -0000

This is so true and even learning to create good content where it is a fit for the business owner - making this a priority is likely to not be the case. There are ways around this and even if not creating the content it should speak with the owner's 'voice' and express the values that are true to the business. Many won't be able to say what they are without some work on that process.

Then there are the very many business owners whose literacy is poor though they may be very savvy in their field. These people need their story to be 'out there' just as much and getting help with the process will see them able to compete effectively too. Lack of skills in this area is just another hurdle to get over, not a reason to stay invisible.
