I was just reading the print edition of the Washington Post Business and saw this story on Tuckers AC who is a Network Solutions domain customer. Cheers to Mike and Ken Tucker! ( http://tuckersac.com/ and http://www.furnacefilterstoyourdoor.com )
You should read the Washington Post article to get the best out of it. Here are some key points that are very valuable:
- Build a business on customer service and reliability.
- “Ken Tucker networked like mad, passing out his card, attending various business and association meetings and industry shows.”
- “He and other small business owners known as the ‘Success Network’ gather every Thursday morning at the Clopper Road Bowl America in Montgomery County to exchange ideas, leads and gossip.”
Since I live close by I should try and make it to one of their Thursday meetings. Tom Heath says that companies selling services/products that people purchase routinely are ”what Warren Buffett refers to as ‘tollbridge’ businesses — something you pay for with some regularity. ”
This was a great way to start the Monday morning and now you know my secret. I read the printed version of the paper.
