Nothing new under the sun in this article.

What IS new are accredited Travel Service Providers who work with business travelers to find the lowest Internet rates. We use one and they have consistently cut our travel costs over 30% on average. I'm willing to bet that within 2 years the majority of business travel will be booked through TSPs.

This was ummm not so helpful. However, good writing. Clearly written from a advid travelers point of view with a decent budget. You should include helpful tips such as what sort of backpack and computer bag is best for traveling thru airports and multiple border entry stations. Another thing is it is best to keep your passport in a cover that hides the fact you're an American. From experience I can say that thanks to Bush the world hates Americans and would love to take it out on you when they are having a bad day. Other tips would be how to use VOIP services, phone forwarding, physical mail services, etc. Getting a local SIM Card in a foreign country and how to forward the USA numbers at the lowest cost, etc.

If your getting paid to write articles you might of well write something with some substance.

But in any case thanks for your effort.

RE: Dealing with Customer Complaints

I wish Bank of America practice what they preach! They don't LISTEN to the customer. They don't ADMIT TO ERRORS. They don't APOLOGIZE for mistakes (because they don't admit errors). The only SOLUTION is that Bank of America takes your money. There is not a FOLLOW UP because they don't care! Their errogance and no-care attitude leaves you speachless as to how a company can treat it's customers this way, yet still be in business.

RE: When Good Business Plans Go Bad

You have shared a great article there @ CommunityTeam. Indeed having a business plan is vital, in fact you simply cannot keep a successful business unless you put planning on top of your priorities. Business plan is equal to Pain and solution; product path; target markets; intellectual property; risk mitigation; and staffing plan.

Focus is the key, of course, to building a business. I find that in the business model and business summary stage, keeping one�s focus can be tricky. Note that the areas of your business that are truly important are often not urgent. Sure, you�ll fight your share of fires, but are those fires ever urgent and important in the long term? If it�s someone else�s issue, toss it back. As for the not urgent and not important, well, that�s the stuff to delegate. Definitely.

To SBOCTeam: For someone who has no idea how to do their own accounting or even where to begin, how easy are these softwares to use? In particular, I am thinking of the needs of new entrepreneurs, especially young entrepreneurs, could they use a readily understand these products?

RE: Dealing with Customer Complaints

For my business, I try to assess each complaint I receive in a way that I truly understand how that client feels. I believe firmly that it is absolutely important to humble yourself and realize that in some situations you can not begin fixing the problem, until, you have a thorough understanding of it. I find that many companies go through their system protocol for each situation. I simply disagree with that thought process, you can not have a system that addresses every type of complaint, especially in a service-based industry as my business. Also, in the article, follow-up is extremely extremely important. I say it twice because it adds that much impact to your approach to resolution.
