Do you think great service deserves to be recognized?

My answer is yes.


I posted about this a few days ago and I have not been able to shake it from my mind. Not that I want to.

Here is the story, we needed last minute printing for my Charlotte Seen business. I mean last minute. Okay! After several calls facebook inquiries etc, who comes to my rescue a facebook friend, with a recommendation to Powerhouse Color. I sent a facebook request and my phone number late Thursday night and Friday at about 9am i get a phone call from the President David Ginn. Yes the President. I received a call around 10:30 that the print order was ready for 1000 custom 5x7 double sided flyers. Great price, service and my loyalty.

Why did this stand out to me? Well as a business owner for 26 years I have seen great to extremely poor service and I haven't always given the time, and energy back to those who have given great service. Have you ever spent way too much energy on the poor service.

So here is my promise moving forward, give and give some more to those that give great service. So I have spoken to David and his company is about to hit a mile stone. They are less the 60 clients away from hitting 50,000 clients. This may explain the great service and why they have been in business for 19 years. David and I discussed how I could help and here is the plan.

David has sent me some digital graphics to use in my social media brag fest. I am going to continue to brag about and follow Powerhouse Color and David Ginn up to there 50,000 client, by blogging, and posting to Facebook and Twitter. Help me spread the word.

Do you think a great business deserves your business?

How facebook leads to meeting Mrs North Carolina International

Okay she is a mother of 4 boys, married to Joe (that's not "Just another Joe"... lol) smart, talented, passionate and beautiful.

We have been conversing on facebook for about 6 months and last night we met at the Tara Davis fashion show at aloft in Ballantyne. It was easy for me to know who she was in her crown and how she new me by name goes to her and Facebook. Social media truly is the best enhancement to connecting people that I know of. This has lead to us connecting each other to contacts for each other. Cynthia is passionate about Alzheimer's and creating awareness. She created PURPLE PASSION 4 Alzheimer's www.pp4alz.org


We have this in common, as she lost her grandpa and we lost my wife's mother to Alzheimer's. We both have done the Alzheimer's walk several times and Cynthia wanted to take it further. Please help her with her dream and passion.


She has also graciously offered to help us with our passion www.charlotteseen.com and Hats and Hooves to benefit The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. This has impacted my family personally.


Here is the link for Cynthia's Press Release as the winner of Mrs. North Carolina International. Cynthia I enjoyed our conversation and remember discussing 6 degrees of separation, I think Social media proves it is shrinking.

Congratulations on being such an incredible role model and thank you for all your work in helping Alzheimer awareness. You definitely belong in my "AWESOMEST" people I know. I know its not a word in the dictionary and I say it should be.

Facebook's Zuckerberg Says Privacy No Longer A 'Social Norm' (VIDEO)

Mark ZuckerbergImage by jdlasica via Flickr
If you are not familiar with the privacy discussion on facebook, here is an article that can help.
Article from the Huffington post. Read more below.

In a recent interview with TechCrunch, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg revealed that he had taken an "about face" on privacy and argued that privacy is no longer a "social norm."
Zuckerberg's stance on privacy resonates with recent controversial changes to Facebook's privacy settings, which not only reduced the control users have over their personal data and pushed more personal information public, but sparked a federal complaint.
Arguing that online users have become more accustomed to sharing information online, such as on blogs and other social media services, Zuckerberg noted, "if he had created Facebook today, as opposed to several years ago, he would have made user information public, not private, by default as it was for years until the company changed dramatically in December," ReadWriteWeb reports.
ReadWriteWeb transcribed the portion of Zuckerberg's interview in which he discusses his attitude toward privacy.
In response to the question, "where is privacy on the web going?", Zuckerberg responds:
When I got started in my dorm room at Harvard, the question a lot of people asked was 'why would I want to put any information on the Internet at all? Why would I want to have a website?'
And then in the last 5 or 6 years, blogging has taken off in a huge way and all these different services that have people sharing all this information. People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people. That social norm is just something that has evolved over time.

We view it as our role in the system to constantly be innovating and be updating what our system is to reflect what the current social norms are.

A lot of companies would be trapped by the conventions and their legacies of what they've built, doing a privacy change - doing a privacy change for 350 million users is not the kind of thing that a lot of companies would do. But we viewed that as a really important thing, to always keep a beginner's mind and what would we do if we were starting the company now and we decided that these would be the social norms now and we just went for it.
Watch TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington's six-minute interview with Zuckerberg in the video below, and read more about the implications of Zuckerberg's privacy stance on ReadWriteWeb.

Has breast cancer touched your family?


Biz Buzz Media supports the charity of Avon Breast Cancer.  On February 27, 2010, Biz Buzz Media volunteered for the Breast Cancer walk and they had there initial training walk of 3 miles that day. My business partner Rita Miles is in the picture (red coat up front).  Get involved contact your local Avon Breast Cancer for the big walk coming up.  See you walking for the cure, this has touched my family personally. Please share and help any way you can.

There were about 132 attendees at the walk and event. It was fun and very inspirational.

Social Media...It can kill your business, It can destroy your brand

I am a big fan of the book Crush it and the author Gary Vanerchuk. This video explains why you need to participate on social media. You are participating in social media, did weather you want to or not. Did you hear that? Your brand is either being created or destroyed one tweet, post or comment at a time.
