Three Things to Consider When Going Green in Your Business
Hi Andy thanks for your impressions of EO. I am a member of the Sydney Chapter and I know that without my forum and the learning event I know my business would not be where it is. Since joining EO my business http://www.redballoondays.com.au/ has become the number one website in Australia for gifts according to Hitwise.

cheers

I hate going to the doctor's office. It is a fore gone conclusion that there is no getting in and out. I have tried the early morning appointment, but fared better when I went for the last appointment of the day. Except by then the doctor just wanted out of there and so did the staff. I wouldn't recommend that time slot if you actually want to talk to them about something like, hmmm, your health perhaps? I did know someone that spent 1 1/2 hours waiting for the doctor, went back to work, and sent the doctor a bill for their time. One would have hoped that the doctor would take the hint, but he didn't. Needless to say, the man changed doctors. Anyway, you bring a great point! I have often wondered what happened to the customer is always right?? I don't think the new generations in the work force have that mind set. Theirs is more, I am here to do you a favor, so you'll have to wait until I'm ready. Top management should spend a little more time teaching the customer basics to their new staffers.

Why do we always have to wait at the doctor's office
In any kind of business it seems that it is the little things that mean so much. Just making a quick phone call or sending a short email letting someone know you haven't forgotten about them seems to go a long way! It keeps them in the loop, even if they have no idea of how your business works. Letting them know your still there and working for them is the key to getting referrals from your clients. Great post!
