		<description>Great Ideas Anita,

The closer you can get to being in &quot;Complete Rapport&quot; with your customer, the closer you can get to &quot;seeing through seeing through the eyes&quot; of your ideal clients the easier it becomes to create marketing messages and customer experience that will convert new customers, get those customers to buy more often as well as become your customers for life.</description>

		<description>I know this is WAY late.

But I just wanted to share my view.

Brilliant piece! Thanks for compiling this. I find that learning what others do and think is one of the key factors that can contribute towards success. You learn faster and easier by taking note of what others do. They have probably been there and done that </description>

Solve marketing problems using the best possible tools to solve those problems - not the ones that are getting all the buzz.</description>

		<description>Listen!  To your customer.  Ascertain what they really need.
CARE!  Care about them, their problems, their issues, their dog!  We live in a very &#039;cold&#039; world, caring about your customer (really caring) will set you apart automatically.
Deliver!  Setup yourself up towards integrity.  People respect honesty...if you can&#039;t deliver what the customer wants....say so. Upfront and then explain to the customer what you can do.  
Do NOT lie!  Bait &amp; Switch, exaggerate your services.  How can you really care about your customer if you can lie about your products/services.  Impossible.  Yet I see this all the time.  Don&#039;t do it.  

Be yourself, listen to your customer&#039;s needs, care about them then deliver what you said you would give them and make certain that what you deliver is what they were expecting to purchase.  Sounds simple, but many do not do this.</description>
