I hate to shut down a blog that has over 1,000 hits, but I have consolidated all my writings on www.BudnikGroup.com.  My new website gives me more control over its look and feel.  I can even use Google’s Feedburner so you can subscribe to my new blog and get my articles in your email.  It saves me from having to do both an email newsletter and a blog.  Isn’t technology great?  I look forward to seeing you there.


7 Needs or Budnik’s Manifesto

May 2, 2008

My post on the 7 needs has gotten away from me.  I have decided against continuing to edit it.  However, there are a number of ideas in it that I want to expand upon.  You will see some of the ideas reflected in my updated website, www.BudnikGroup.com.  The entry became so long, it’s almost an essay.  A friend of mine mentioned that it could even be turned into a book.  I’m still trying to decide which direction I want to take it, but I definitely seem to have hit on something big.  What can I do with this 1700 word entry?  Send me your ideas.


Are You a Hero or a Villain?

May 2, 2008

Roughly 70% of people research products and services online, but still buy in person. They want the personal interaction that comes from paying in person, but they want to know who they can trust and who has the best products and services.

People come to you with expectations that they may never express or are not factual. If you fail to meet your customer or client’s expectations, they will be disappointed and tell all their friends. If you understand and exceed their expectations, you will be their hero.
