Friends, Dating, LOVE and Business Online |

Making Virtual Connections
Spring may be wedding season, but with
Valentine’s Day, February is the month for
love. And love is big business, especially
online (and I’m not talking about porn –
which is a whole other online industry with
huge profits).
40 million Americans use online dating
services; that's about 40 percent of our
entire U.S. single-people pool. You’ve
probably seen the TV commercials for online
dating services like Match.com and eHarmony.
Just type “online dating” into Google and
you’ll get 284 million results.

9 Best Practices for Improving the Bottom Line of Your
Relationship
Dr. John Curtis has a background in both
business consulting and marriage therapy. It
seems inevitable that he would combine the
two into a recipe for marital success. Dr.
John Curtis penned "The
Business of Love" to
save the most important business venture
anyone will ever delve into--marriage.
I know a happily married couple that apply
their business consulting skills to their
marriage. Each year they have a "planning
session" where they go to a nice vacation
spot with flip charts and markers in hand and
set their goals for the upcoming year. They
return from this annual ritual refreshed and
motivated, ready to move forward into the
year together.

10 +1 Things to Make Me LOVE Your Business Email |
|
by Liz Strauss
I ran across this blog post by Liz
Strauss on making
business email communication better and
absolutely loved it. Since I didn't think I
could say it any better (direct and to the
point), I thought I'd include it here.
Whether you're the sender or the receiver,
it's definately worth reading. -- Teri
As with everything in business, email is
about execution and helping out the other
person. Anyway you can make my life easier —
in this case organize my email — makes you my
email hero. Make it harder and I duck when I
see your email coming.
Here are 10 + 1 ways to make me love your
business email.
1. Don’t take away my generosity by
expecting things. If you email me for the
first time, do what you can to solve your own
problem. Find out who I am before you ask me
to do something for you. Don’t write as
though I spend my time waiting for your email
to come. I work for a living. This is the
single biggest problem — via phone call and
email — I found freelancers had in all of my
years of publishing.
2. Always allow me to unsubscribe. If
there are sensitive souls involved in a
project, let’s decide together who will be
included in receiving what. I’ll be grateful
for the chance to opt out of emails that I
don’t need.
