Ask The Experts:

Some of the topics you can comment on this week are:

I own a small business and one of my biggest clients has been dubbed "Mr. Clickenbuzz" by my sales team because he has a habit of hanging up without saying good-bye and without making sure the call is really ended. A discussion with my whole team revealed that he reserves this dismissive behavior especially for my sales reps. This is one of the worst telephone etiquette offenses, and I really need to impress upon him how disrespected my sales team feels BEFORE someone makes the mistake of calling him "Mr. Clickenbuzz" to his face. Should I use a subtle approach to get my point across or should I be more straightforward?

About WOE Enterprise

A few years ago my life hit rock bottom. I looked into the bible and I saw the word woe. I also wanted to see how the dictionary defined woe. Woe meant trials or tribulations. In life a woe to you might be a job loss and to another it might be a broken relationship.

One day I was thinking how I could reinvent my life so I wrote down the word woe on a piece of paper. As the document spoke to me it revealed that woe now meant WOE as in Word of Encouragement. From there I received this slogan.

“Before you leave work or go to sleep tonight, give someone a WOE, a Word Of Encouragement.”
