Connie,
What’s even more impressive is that Seth answers his own questions. Countless times I’ve received correspondence from legislators that was incorrect and written by an intern. It’s one thing to have someone else respond, but make sure they respond to the correct issue.

Connie, Good post on a guy whose marketing perspectives (and other viewpoints) mean a lot to me and, I think, should mean a lot to most folks in the nonprofit sector. So much of what Seth says is applicable to the nonprofit advancement process. In fact, the last post on my own brand new blog is focused on one of Seth's blog posts from recent months. Take a look at: http://www.tcg-advancementperspectives.blogspot.com.

Rachel,
It’s definitely important to pay attention to our customers. It’s not always easy, but Seth Godin shows that it’s possible, even if you’re a busy person.
Thanks so much for your comment!

All customers, internal and external, should be treated with the utmost quality level of customer service as if they were our only customer. That personal touch is what keeps them coming back and they’ll remember you forever! Excellent post!

Connie, good point!

It’s so important to be “real” especially when using all the great technology tools at our disposal. The personal touch makes all the difference and it can be done using new communication mediums.

Thanks for the post.
