APPRECIATE CONTACT WITH CUSTOMERS
If I have a question for a company, I first Google it to check whether I can find the answer myself. When that doesn’t help, I want to contact the company directly.

NAME YOUR CUSTOMER
In his book ‘How to win friends and influence people’ Dale Carnegie said this: “Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language”. Yesterday a friend told me this story. After one year since his last visit, he did go to a golf course. And he was very pleasantly surprised that the manager still knew his name.

Also the products and the services, which they offer, are really outstanding. But, there is always a ‘but’. The owner mentioned that he is now facing competition from web shops that offer contact lenses and fluids. He himself does...

The humanistic company
“Ethical Capitalism” and a “Humanistic Company”. “I have always dreamt of working towards an important objective. I felt that profit alone was not enough, and a higher, collective aim was necessary.
