Episode Description

If you get negative publicity on the web or in social media, you can run and hide, try to delete them, respond in kind or tackle them head-on. Which is preferable? Believe it or not over 55% of brands do not have a strategy in place to deal with negative comments on social media; there are only two reasons why people fail, they either can’t or they won’t. If they can’t, that is easily fixed but if they won’t then they are destined to be a failure. We also discuss the importance of salespeople, without a sale you have no business; how much is great customer service worth; how to do a SWOT analysis and how the local retailer can take on the big-box giant. We have our very popular email segment where we address the issues that concern business no matter where they are in the world. We have a fun and educational chat with Dr. Cathy Cramer, the founder and managing partner of the Cramer Institute in St. Louis Missouri, whose practical and logical advice is now employed by over 300 major corporations, 60 hospitals and the United States Air Force.
