database management: Wine and Real Estate
- 10/28/10 03:41 PM
When most people think of Missouri, a comparison to the famous wine-producing regions of southern France never enters the mind. Even in the U.S., people think first of California and New York when they think about wine. By way of some local history from a Missouri gal, European immigrants settled in eastern Missouri in 1837. By the mid-1880's, Missouri led the rest of the United States in wine production. The soil and climate was (and is) a mirror image of the unique growing medium of southern France. Today the area along the Missouri River is a destination place for wine connoisseurs. … (0 comments)
database management: Not All Diamonds Sparkle the Same
- 10/22/10 06:30 AM
You've seen diamonds that, well...they're just a diamond. You know it's a diamond, but there's a dullness about it. Then you've seen those that practically leap off the finger of the person wearing them. Just like a bright star twinkling, the facets catching every light source around and transforming the stone into something otherworldly. Then, of course, there are all those diamonds that span the spectrum in between the two. The worth of diamond worth varies and so does the value of your leads.Leads have very different values.

- 09/24/10 10:54 AM
Ever watch Antique Road Show? If so, you may look at family heirlooms differently.

- 09/22/10 08:57 AM
"Water, water everywhere and nor a drop to drink." Samuel Taylor Coleridge Are you surrounded by leads, but lack business? If so, you may be in the same boat as the Ancient Mariner quoted above, who was thirsty but surrounded by undrinkable salt water. You've collected business cards, you've written down names on napkins at parties, you've even warehoused them in a database. What do you do with the leads? Can you easily access them? Do they help you keep in touch with your clients? How usable is your data? If you have been in business for any period of time, … (0 comments)
