Recreation for the Business Traveler: Unique Golf Courses on the East Coast  - Traveling Business Class
July 25
Golf courses are some of the best and most manicured real-estate in the world. Even though I don't play the game, I find myself drawn to various courses and sometimes I think I'd even pay the green-fees just to be able to walk the links with a camera. Recently, I read an article that described some of the most unique ...

Incentives Don't Achieve True Customer Loyalty  - Smart Marketing with Customer Loyalty
July 22
Just about every company wants more loyal customers. Many think the way to increase loyalty is with bribes. Not real bribes of course. Bribes are bonus points, frequent flier miles and any other program that pays customers to continue doing business with a company. These programs seem to work because people use them. But there's a big difference between someone ...

I have Sutton's book in print and audio and highly recommend every single company leader read it and implement steps in their organization to make sure they are breeding jerks.

Nancy- Thanks for the great post.I am frequently asked if this kind of behavior is discriminatory or harassment. I always say, "Being a jerk is not illegal, but that does not mean it should be tolerated." My April 25th post, "Has the schoolyard bully graduated to a job at your workplace?" should be of interest to your readers.

Mistake #10. What Is Your Most Valuable Proposition (M.V.P.)?
I don't care if NeverLost.com has the coordinates of the lost city of Atlantis... When you're in your car and THEN you realize that you need to go somewhere; you want those waypoints IN YOUR HAND, not on the internet.

Why is this so hard for people to understand? I was IN the car, I decided to go to Fido, Neverlost only showed three stores in Toronto, my handheld showed many more. Is it possible that had a I driven to a Starbucks, booted my laptop, logged into the .net, surfed to Neverlost.com, and whipped out my handy memory stick, that I could have downloaded more Fidos? SURE it is. If that's what I have to go through to enjoy the "convenience" of Neverlost, then forget it.

Hertz Neverlost vs. Garmin GPS
Ken:

Good comments on the flexibility of the Garmin handheld. NeverLost is definitely not portable. I did notice that neverlost.com had all the Fido Stores located in Canada. Go to My Favorites - Popular Chains, and you will find all the locations by searching for Fido. I will need to recognize NeverLost Online Trip Planning for better data than Garmin.
