Journey to BirthDAY


                  It was great day to celebrate my birthday. One year older and little more wiser!

          I got lots of text, email and calls from family and friends wishing me a happy birthday.

          I bought pack of 50 Timbit and took them to work to share them with my coworkers

          On the TTC Bus passenger asked me "are you going to eat all those?" I responded with laughter "No! its my birthday going to share it with my coworkers!"  he responded "Oh  Happy Birthday!"

                 and then I found a PC Financial card on Wednesday April 12th on my way to work and on Sunday I went to buy my cake. I got the register and ask the Rep to check the card and voila $7 was on the card!  experience priceless on Sunday!

Book Review: Loyalty Leap



                                                     


      Jim Pagiamtzis review:
              " Loyalty Leap is a powerful read with insights on the power of loyalty on how it can be used. Bryan Pearson shares case studies on how companies can effective use loyalty to build their brand."

                   

                         Most consumers don't trust companies as much as they used to. So how has Bryan Pearson convinced 99.99 percent of his ten million customers in LoyaltyOne’s AIR MILES Rewards Program to willingly share their personal information?

Pearson shows readers how to build the unwavering consumer loyalty needed for long-term relationships and how to do so without infringing on the privacy of their consumers.
The Loyalty Leap arrives at a crucial time, illuminating the best practices for responsibly selecting, collecting, and employing customer data—the raw material of today's marketing industry.

Supplemented with compelling corporate stories and the results from an extensive 2011 consumer survey, it provides a snapshot of consumer attitudes about privacy and the use of personal information for marketing and business purposes.

Book Review: Trust Agents






 Jim Pagiamtzis book review:
      " I read this book very slowly for a very good reason!. Chris Brogan and Julien Smith provide extremely good and useful information to grow your community and tribe and have them appreciate what you do and support your cause!

The strategic ways to leverage your online and offline brand is extremely important in the 21st Century living. We live in very connected world and there are some many ways to share our knowledge. 

  They share insights on to focus that content to great interest and inertia that your tribe will not only learn but will require you as  resource.

  I have been sharing my personal brand of learn, speak and socialize leads to monetize for my business for many years.  This book confirms what I have been doing works!

Loyalty can't be bought yet it can be earned. Trust Agents proves it and highly recommend it to entrepreneurs and businesses to read and adapt to their way to execute the ability to win for the long term."
