Editor's Notes
- Timing
- Changing notions of social status, where status (especially online) can be increasingly derived from publicly displaying and sharing knowledge, skills, influence and popularity rather than pure wealth and power Consumers disclosing their intentions or whereabouts, either to each other or to companies in return for better offers and/ or service
- Customers are telling us everything we need to know about what they are doing, what’s going right and what’s going wrong – and literally when they will be ready to make a purchase – it’s up to us to pay attention to those signals.There has been a swath of business books lately completely focused on re-defining how we approach the customer to make the sale Selling to the C-Suite - August 18, 2009 – Get the CEOs attention when he or she is talking to trusted advisors to get insight into their problem.

They watched in horror as the airline’s baggage handlers threw their expensive guitars into the cargo hold. Needless to say, the instruments were severely damaged.United dragged its feet in fixing them, so the group turned the experience into a song and humorous video.SLEEPING COMCAST GUY - A YouTube user named DoorFrame, who also runs a fan blog dedicated to the movie Snakes on a Plane, posted this gem. It shows a Comcast (CMCSA) technician on hold with his own company. Oh yeah, and he’s sleeping.et in fixing them, so the group turned the experience into a song and humorous video.

- . In the same way that we’ve learned to communicate in 140 characters with Twitter, we will learn to survey using tools like MicroPoll for one-off polling that is quick, easy and cheap. Your audience is in learning and interactive mode on Facebook and Twitter and polls are ideal ways to get their input and gather market data at the same time. Start looking at research as a quantifiable conversation.- Free polling applications are everywhere! MicroPoll is my favorite. But also check out TwitPoll, and PollDaddyalso has a facebook application. Blogging platforms like WordPress also have polling plugins that you can use for your blog.
