What Are Your Clients Thinking? |
| By John Jantsch Knowing exactly what your clients and prospects are thinking is a big part of the marketing game. Often times small business owners think they know what their customers want, but assumption a is primary tool of choice drawing these conclusions.
The best way to really know what a market thinks about something is to ask. Run the idea up the old flagpole and see what kind of response you get. The Internet is spawning a whole new set of tools that can help the smallest of businesses tap the collective wisdom, or least collective opinion, of the masses when trying to make even the simplest business decisions.

Cyber-Quick Tip | | Add Missing Holidays to your Outlook Calendar If you are an Outlook user currently using a version previous to Outlook 2007, the holidays available for your Calendar folder expired at the end of 2007. For example if you are using Outlook 2003, you will not see any holidays on your Outlook Calendar for 2008 and on; if you are using Outlook 2000 or 2002, your holidays were supplied through the end of 2003 or 2005, respectively. However, Microsoft offers updates for previous versions of Outlook to supply holidays for the upcoming years. For Microsoft Outlook 2002 and earlier, the update provides holidays for the years 2006 through 2012. For Outlook 2003, the update supplies holidays for the years 2007 through 2012. |
