Greetings!

Alicia and Eric at Matic Kingdom
Alicia and me at the Magic Kingdom. What can YOU learn from a Mouse? Tune in to FWW 12/1 @ 1 pm EST and find out.
Welcome to this month's issue of The Internet Minute. Chances are you are at the tail end of your turkey leftovers and getting ready for the holiday season. Hope you had a good weekend with family and friends.

In this issue, I want to be sure you check out the FWW session coming up this Wednesday (12/1) with our guest, author Dennis Snow (and learn some great service lessons from "the Mouse"), plus I've got some other cool things that you might find helpful. I know you're busy, so it's designed to be a fast read... Enjoy!

Lessons From The Mouse - Webinar This Wednesday

What Are Customers Saying About YOU Online?
Lessons From The Mouse: Applying Disney World's Secrets of Success to Your Organization - Wednesday, December 1st

Dennis SnowThis week on Free Webinar Wednesdays I'm excited about welcoming author, speaker and friend of mine, Dennis Snow to share his insights and lessons learned over a 20-year career at the Walt Disney World Company.

I had the pleasure of hearing Dennis speak recently at a conference in Nebraska
 and have heard him before at past conferences. In addition to being a huge Disney fan myself (in case the picture at the beginning of the newsletter didn't give it away), I could listen to Dennis talk for hours on all the wonderful things he shares as a result of his time with "the Mouse".

While we won't have "hours" together, I can guarantee you'll come away with great ideas and a fresh perspective for the year ahead. I look forward to seeing you Wednesday at 1 pm Eastern for this great webinar event.

Your New Best Friend - Introducing Nudgemail (and Remember Everything!)

NudgemailIf you're someone who has "a lot going on" these days (and don't we all) and could use a better way to manage tasks and reminders, you've got to check out this great new service called Nudgemail.

Unlike any other "task management" tools that I've used, Nudgemail is 100% e-mail based. It "lives" within your e-mail and works by sending messages that will "come back" to remind you of important events, projects, follow-up calls and anything else you want to remember.

Once you complete their quick setup process, you can forward and/or BCC any e-mail message to Nudgemail and they "magically" comeback. Need to remember to follow-up with an important client later in the week? Just send a note to wednesday@nudgemail.com and Wednesday morning it's waiting for you in your Inbox.

Give it a try to day and let me know what you think. I've been using it for about three weeks now and know you'll love it too!
Customer Reviews Online - What's Being Said About You?

Customer Lobby
Watch the Webinar replay to learn more!
With online consumer reviews playing a vital role in the "vendor selection" process, business owners are starting to investigate their options when it comes to managing their reputation
and how to increase the number of quality reviews of their products and/or services online.

Have YOU visited your Google Places, Yelp or Yahoo Local page to see how many "stars" you have (and what people are saying about you)? While nobody can guarantee all 5-star reviews (that's up to you), I can help make sure that you make it easy for your customers to go online and give you a rating with our new partnership with Customer Lobby...

I recently hosted their president, Ted Paff, on my weekly Free Webinar Wednesdays webinar series and the replay would be well worth your viewing.
