I’m so fortunate that I don’t deal with angry customers very often. At Lighthouse Conferencing we really go out of our way to build real, respectful, constructive, and often times friendly relationships with our customers. In fact, we don’t even refer to our customers as “customers” but use “partner” or “client”. It’s a small bit [...]

I don’t know what I don’t know yet…
No comments · Posted by mgutman in Audio Conferencing, Collaboration, Events, Marketing, Uncategorized, Webconferencing
“I don’t know what I don’t know yet”… and the complimentary “I only know what I know” — were the favorite catch phrases of a respected colleague from a previous company.
