Hey, there, #CustomerLove-rs!
How is it going?
* Your biz.
* Your challenge.
* Life in general.
For me, things are coming together, slowly but surely.
It feels good.
How about you? :>
Tell me down in the comments. :> It gets lonely flying around the Interwebz all by myself. :>
The Challenge
LaVonneEllis -When you start to doubt yourself, think, “What do I need to hear right now?” And say that to your people. They need it too. #customerlove

The Qs from Saturday’s Skype Call (insert alliteration of choice here! :-D)
Had a fantabulous Skype Chat yesterday! Very helpful call about how to move forward on our offers, with LaVonne, myself, Melissa Dinwiddie, Linda Eaves, Karim Benyagoub, Christie Halmick, and Phyllis Nichols.
Audio: Unfortunately, the call did not get recorded.
Also, LaVonne will be talking to us soon about moving the Skype call to another day, due to scheduling conflicts.
Stay tuned for more news as events warrant! :>
