    Most Valuable Asset
    What is the most valuable asset that your firm possesses? Is it your technology, trade secrets, credit line, or customer base? Although we realize the importance of these, most of us believe that our people or our leadership teams are most valuable to us. However, there is another asset that may be even more imp

    Opening A Dollar Store - Don't Leave Customers Standing
    Are you opening a dollar store? If so, you will likely hear about the importance of customer service.

    MySpace is not only for teenagers and musicians. MySpace is also making a buzz among Internet marketers. At the invitation of Internet marketing guru Marlon Sanders, I set up a profile to see what the buzz is all about. Marlon calls it "...a ‘secret’ networking method the people on the inside are using."

    Being the active experimenter that I am, once I got started, I couldn't stay away from MySpace, setting up my profile, posting on my blog, adding events to the public calendar. As I poked around, I thought about how this networking space could work for professionals as a business tool.

    It's pretty easy to set up a profile and it's free. If you're using it as a business tool, be professional about the information you reveal. Remember MySpace is ultimately a SOCIAL tool and many people use it to hook up for dates and relationships. If that's not your intent, keep your content business-oriented.

    What I noticed in looking at random profiles is that most are sloppy and incomplete. A lot have no information about the person and no photo. What's the point? My sense is that a lot of profiles get set up and then abandoned, much like blogs.

    So can you use it as a marketing tool for your business?

    My guess is yes, if you're very strategic about how you go about it.

    Customer Service and Concierge Considerations
    If you are considering a job in customer service then perhaps you should go to work as an intern for a Concierge Company or at the Concierge Desk at a 5-Star Hotel and Resort. Why?

    • Send "bulletins" through the MySpace system to all your "friends" about your product launches, press releases, events, etc.
    • Join MySpace groups that represent your target audience. Participate in discussions and send bulletins to everyone in the group. No spamming!
    • Post your events on the public calendar
    • As you add new friends, welcome them and you'll be on your way to building a community.

    A way to approach this from a business angle is to think of your "friends" as possible joint venture partners and potential business opportunities. And, as we like to say, it's another line in the fishing pond for attracting prospects, building your list and your network. So, is it worth trying out? That's only for you to know. If you like trying new things, if you like testing new systems, then give it try.
