They can't be everything to everyone. And by realizing that, they can create loyal followers out of the smaller portion of the population that "gets it." Those loyal customers are what we all want! Thanks for your comment, and welcome to Maximum Customer Experience. Regards, Kelly Social,

Remember those catalogs they had a few years ago? Or maybe they still do it. I don't know, Abercrombie seems to be for teens but it's ads go too far. I've seen their models walking half naked around the mall too, what is that about? They also do a lot of bait n switch I hear. Not a big fan I guess, especially since the clothes seem bland and typical. <abbr><em>socialnerdia’s last blog post...<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SocialNerdia/~3/F60h0LjoPg0/" rel="nofollow">Netvibes Recommends..

Sometimes folks prefer the ready-to-eat pricing, even though it may end up costing more. No questions left in their mind. Why Saturn sold a heck of a lot of cars for a while there. James, Todd, Yes, yes! Just like that. Carry on. ;) Later, Kelly Tony,

You get to sit down and think of this person. You write them out. Who are they? Where do they work? Are they tired? Kids? Job? Wife? Problems? Money or no money? What do they like in life? Kayaking? Reading? Why are they unhappy? You get to map out a whole persona of the perfect person to buy from you - and you know why he needs you, why he wants you and exactly what will make him say, "Oh God, finally someone *gets* it! This is exactly what I need!" Ding ding ding ding ding - we have a winner. <abbr><em>James Chartrand - Men with Pens’s last blog post...<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MenWithPens/~3/oHgP_Q8_2fg/wordpress-28" rel="nofollow">WordPress 2.8: It’s Time to Upgrade Your Site</a></abbr></em> @ Todd – That’s also often the funnest part of doing business.

Invariably, they answer: "Everyone!" No. Wrong. Dead wrong. Everyone is not your target market. That person is a very specific person with very specific wants, needs and desires. Does your company answer them? Or are you too busy trying to answer everyone else's needs? <abbr><em>James Chartrand - Men with Pens’s last blog post...<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MenWithPens/~3/oHgP_Q8_2fg/wordpress-28" rel="nofollow">WordPress 2.8: It’s Time to Upgrade Your Site</a></abbr></em> This reminds me of a question we frequently ask our customers:

Yeah, that was my thought too.. People don't seem to understand that time is ALWAYS going to get paid for. If you insist upon a price for ready to eat fish, that's always going to include the cost and dangers of fishing, whether you realize that or not. I think some of those people think I have a book where I can look up every possible thing that could cause his symptom. If I did, I'd sell the book: why have all this stress? Sure, sometimes I do have a "fish" ready to serve. Most of the time, a simple Google search would have given them the same answer if they were only smart enough to know how to do a decent search :-) <abbr><em>Tony Lawrence’s last blog post...<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/aplawrence/ZPYH/~3/DLqxjv2Dd2E/voila.html" rel="nofollow">Voila</a></abbr></em> “good luck to him finding a guarantee on what his problem is before a diagnosis!”
