An Early Blog

Innovation is what drives creative marketing and project managerial minds. How to drop a creative product and do well in sales, in retail, e-business, and develop a group of evangelists who believe in that product, its performance in real-world applications, and the satisfaction level that the product has to an individual consumer.

It has been said that with good products or services that you are satisfied with, you will tell 4-6 people. If you are unhappy, or dissatisfied with a product or service, that same person is likely to tell 8-10 people.

Shit....when I am unhappy about a product I tell every person I know who would possibly use it or even think about using it. For example, Ray's Liquor. Fuck Ray's Liquor is all I have to say. The dudes that work there are fags, their customer service skills blows donkey cock, and their prices suck as well. Last summer they would not sell me beer because I needed 2 forms of ID...Are you fucking kidding me? Why is Ray's liquor so fucking special, that you need 2 fucking forms of ID, and what the fuck, when is a credit card an acceptable form of ID?

Its not issued by the government. It doesn't have your address. Or birth-date. Or eye color. It doesn't enable you to vote, drive a car, or join the fuckin' Marines. So why in Holy Hell does this motherfucker need to see my credit card when I have a perfectly legit, current, accurate Driver's License? Cash and a current DL ain't good enough for this east indian-arab-persian whatever he is.

So I left the the 30 pack on the counter, cursed at the fag behind the counter, got the 10 people I was going floating with, and left. They just lost biz from me and 10 of my friends that were there to buy something.

So what happens? I go to Safeway and buy the same 30 pack, for $4-5 cheaper, from the checker who has a nice conversation with me. From a place that accepts Driver's Licenses as an acceptable form of identification. Like it should be. Since they invented DL's for fuckin identification.

You can bet I told every single person I saw on the way down to Scotty's that Ray's Liquor sucks, don't go there, and fuck Ray's Liquor. I won't ever go back, which sucks for them, because I drink a lot.

Me drinking = business for Star Liquors and Safeway. Star Liquors has excellent customer service, really nice dudes, great selection and lowest prices in town. And its closer to my house.
