Do you pin? I’m talking about Pinterest, a new social sharing site that users describe as “addicting.” Essentially, users find things around the web that they love, and then “pin” them to boards on their profile. What’s neat about this as opposed to other bookmarking sites is that the boards are all visual. When you [...]

Inexpensive Ways Small Businesses Can Increase Sales
This weekend I stopped in to our local dollar store. I had made some candies with my family for holiday gifts, and wanted to pick up some festive tins to put them in. When I reached the checkout, the owner was there. Just making conversation, I asked him if the store had been crazy busy [...]
The Elusiveness of Measuring Social Media ROI
I recently purchased Purex Complete Crystals fabric softener. (All of you that sell this type of product, cover your ears and hum quietly to yourself. There is a point here.)

When Was the Last Time You Evaluated Your New Consultant Program?
Recently I’ve been evaluating the new consultant training program for a client company. They put me into the system as a new consultant (so I’d receive all the communication they send out), sent me a kit, and I scheduled my launch party. Since I was evaluating the effectiveness of company-provided materials and support, I did [...]
