Great quote Becky. We do tend to focus on our ideas more than our customers don’t we??

Thanks, Chris. Glad to connect with you. I’ve added your feed to my reader, and I look forward to learning about you and your resource.
Not only your outside, retail or B2B customers, but your internal customers, ie: your employees and vendors as well.
Excellent point. Steve Yastrow says a customer is “anyone whose actions affect your results.”
