Wow, that is a really disturbing article. How horrible that people try to make themselves look good by pulling apart other people's relationships. Don't go trying none of that on me now...

I run into this dilemma, or something like it, every day as I meet with cancer patients and discuss with them why they need radiation therapy. Many of them have already had their tumors removed surgically and may actually be cured already, with no further treatment. I get to explain to them how statistically they have a better chance of being cancer-free if they get the treatment. But in reality it is somewhat artificial to think in terms of statistics, as in their case, either the tumor comes back or it doesn't, THEY are cured 100% or 0% of the time.

And then I see some patients come back later grateful that "we" cured them, and others unhappy about all the side effects we caused them by administering a treatment they may not really have needed.

Or change his business entirely to offer something more innovative and in-demand. I don't think there are any near-beer bars in Provo (or something equally Mormon-friendly that still captures the spirit of bars, i.e. a place to hang out and maybe meet new people). Something a little less seasonal too, no one wants ice cream in January.

Yeah...I could go on and on about this post. Let's just say I'm glad we know where we are going now and I'm glad we NEVER have to apply for school again!

Wow Michelle. Such strong language. ;) Now Drew it sounds like you are already a patron of this unnamed company you speak of. At least I hope you already are because you gave them your SSN in the phone tree. This is actually a stronger point to your case. If I'm not your customer, that's one thing, but if I am a paying and loyal customer I better get a direct line to real d*** people. I didn't need to swear there, just following in Michelle's footsteps.

That's one of the best things I've seen from Godin. Fantastic points there, points I totally agree with.

Thanks for posting it.

Amazing example...funny thing is, I would have never thought of just thumb-tacking the box to the wall. I guess I prove the case in point!

Is it just me, or does healthcare seem very similar to the situation you're describing here?

It seems like retail costs go awry when suppliers (doctors) have far more price information than the consumer (patient). I don't know, but I wish some smart people would figure out a way to do what you did for the tourist and apply it to healthcare.

So true! Customer service can make or break a company especially a big company. If you have crummy customer service you better have a d*** good service.

I don't know what I would do without Glide. It is without a doubt the floss I have ever used. Way to go P&G!!!

I know a company where they advertise a Ph.D. staff. Just so happens they have one Ph.D. at the place and he comprises all of the "staff" that handles questions.

I liked this idea from the 999 site:
Driving Drummer. Steering wheel cover/drum synthesizer. Drum sounds come out of your speakers.

Until then, I'll work on my drum noises.

I thought the same thing when I saw those ads. Toyota has handled the whole thing in such a manner that I haven't lost a bit of trust in the company. I'd still buy from them.

All I can say is, I agree. That is the best shampoo I have ever used...they have very effectively twisted my mind to think that way!
