Greetings!

Quick and easy marketing tip of the week.

OandPCare has an online O&P directory.
If you are certified and/or accredited by ABC you should be in it.
So should your company.

It is marketed to the media AND the general public.

If you are listed in it but your email and website address are NOT listed, what's the point?

Remember, if they are searching for you online, they want to click on something - don't leave them hanging.

Click here to check your info (don't forget to check your staff's, too) in the directory.

Need to update it?

Marketing Gold Star
Golden_starThe Mayor knows.

Customer service is marketing.

(He also knows that banning "I don't know" is going to make for some MAJOR word of mouth!)

Alexander Kuzmin, the mayor of a Siberian oil town has ordered his bureaucrats to stop using expressions such as "I don't know" and "I can't." Or look for another job.

Some of the other prohibited phrases are "What can we do?" "It's not my job," "It's impossible," "I'm having lunch," "There is no money," and "I was away/sick/on vacation."

Officials who disobey the ban while in the mayor's office "will near the moment of their departure," the statement said.

Providing the mayor with wrong or incomplete information, or being late in reporting important information will be considered an attempt to undermine his work, it said.

Anna Borovikova, the mayor's chief of staff, said the novel approach has improved discipline.

"Before, it was so easy to say `I don't know.' Now before reporting to the mayor we prepare several proposals on how one or another problem can be solved," Borovikova said.
