This Bad Business Deal Was
Like Getting Punched in the Face!

Smash in Face from Computer
I recently concluded business dealings with a web development company that was a disaster.

They provided completion dates that in reality were never possible.  

 

 

The experience was like getting punched in the face. Much time was wasted and in the end we needed to give up and start over again. Thankfully my friends at 95 Visual and Chrios Technology, experts in internet security, were able to work together and get the programing I needed done.    

 

After 5 months, the flaky web company admitted they couldn't even do the programing the said would take about 2 weeks. They meant well, but seemingly were just in over their heads. We were just getting strung out and lied to for months.  

 

By being persistent, I ultimately got my deposit money back and collected on the check they bounced. The experience was a textbook case of business dysfunction that we all can learn from. In this issue, we share the tale of three web developers in our community, Become the Big Dog in Your Community. This story also addresses the power of effective branding. Enjoy.

Become the Big Dog in Your Town! 

Big Dog in Car
Attending local business expos are always enjoyable for me.

I like to analyze how businesses choose to stand out from the crowd and market their companies.

A few years ago, I wrote a short PromoTip entitled, I Won a Chip Clip and Invested 100K! It's a snarky piece touching on how many trade show exhibitors often give away "stuff" just to give away stuff without regard to using a product to convey their desired message.


It is the sad truth that this kind of thinking goes to further the erroneous idea that what we sell is really just "trinkets and trash." But if we are doing our job, we will guide the client to the "right stuff."
