The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet

If [like me] you have less-than-perfect knees then you may have to ask a friend to do the kicking for you…wouldn’t want you to self-injure while you are self-starting.

The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet

Thought Tweet #855 What comes first, pleasing customers or pleasing employees?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

PS: In my travels I encounter many business people who bend over backwards preaching customer service and satisfaction. While they are doing that, they seem to be oblivious to the distresses of their employees. I wonder - Is it even partially sane to expect disgruntled employees to raise pleased customers.
