Customer Service – Why It Matters.

25 Apr 2011
As a business owner, there is nothing more disappointing than conducting business with a company or its employees  that fails to meet the expectations of their customers.  I understand that things happen from time to time, and mistakes are sometimes made. 
 
Recently, I had rather irritating customer service experience at a local restaurant.  The waiter arrives at our table, he is very cordial and professional.  We place our order and sit back to enjoy our dining experience.  The waiter disappears, the drinks at our table sit empty for an overly extended period of time, the wrong food order arrives, and the waiter arrives to insist we did in fact order it!  Later, the waiter returns and let’s us know that he is training someone, and it was their fault for the experience we were receiving.  I thought to myself, well – if you were managing your trainee better – maybe this whole situation would have never occurred.

Supreme Court To Review GPS Tracking Case

20 Apr 2011
On April 15th, the Obama Administration petitioned the Supreme Court to review a significant “digital age” privacy case: whether the police must have a warrant before using a global positioning system (GPS) device to track a suspects’ movements.
 
The initial ruling made last summer stated that law enforcement officers cannot use GPS technology to track a suspects’ car without first getting a warrant.The Obama Administration opposes obtaining warrants for GPS tracking and wants the Supreme Court to examine the issue.
 
The review stems from an administration appeal of a lower court criminal conviction reversal ruling based upon no secured warrant by the police for the GPS device they installed secretly on a man’s car. In the case, law enforcement placed a GPS tracking device on Antoine Jones of Washington, D.C. Jeep and, for a month, tracked his movements. Jones, a nightclub owner, was convicted of operating a cocaine distribution ring. However, a three-panel judge of both Republican and Democratic appointees unanimously threw out Jones’ life sentence and conviction, stating that prolonged surveillance violating Jones’ privacy rights was an important element in their decision. According to the Washington federal appeals court, the officers violated the Fourth Amendment prohibition relating to unreasonable searches.

As the price of fuel keeps skyrocketing and the economy continues to be challenging, reducing your businesses fuel costs is critical to improve your bottom line. For some companies, it’s a necessity just to stay afloat. Business owners are feeling the pain at the pump more than ever, with the price of gasoline over $4.00 per gallon in some parts of the company.
