Comments on: 3 Tips on How to Avoid that Disastrous Customer http://fortunemarketingcompany.com/2010/05/avoid-that-disastrous-client/ Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:31:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Carolyn http://fortunemarketingcompany.com/2010/05/avoid-that-disastrous-client/comment-page-1/#comment-174 Carolyn Tue, 18 May 2010 16:08:24 +0000 http://fortunemarketingcompany.com/?p=2235#comment-174 Fiona- I actually struggled with this concept a bit as I wrote this blog. We read so much about giving the customer what they want - and yes, going above and beyond. And I certainly believe that these statements are true- IF we stay within our target market and our core competencies. We aren't doing anyone any favors when we try to be something we're not. Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you got my point. :-) -Carolyn Fiona-
