    What if you fail the exam?


I suppose you're not allowed to have diabetes.

      You're really not selling Facebook to me.

    To me, either.


I'll probably stick to being a hermit. I just checked my diary and I don't actually need to go outside now until March 9th.

    It's the #1 rule of capitalism now. Why get something better when you can have mediocrity for free.


Because of purchase satisfaction.

About six years ago I nearly tripled my consultancy rates, lost half my clients, and therefore still made more money for less work. If I'm that expensive I must be good! Also, it means when a client is being difficult I can say, "Well, we can keep discussing this; it is costing you £x per hour so it's fine by me."

      Except I don't, so if they want me to see it they had better send me a copy.



    Quote:
    I usually do that too. If there's a direct link I might look at it briefly, but I never comment or anything. If someone says "It's on my Facebook somewhere" I won't even go and look.


There's a small publishing house in the UK who have me on their mailing list. Every month they put out a free "story of the month" which they used to send via e-mail, so all I had to do was click on the message and read. Now they have gone to emails with a "download this pdf/epub/mobi" button that is probably better but they've lost me as a reader just because of the extra effort required to access the product. With marginal customer commitment those kinds of barriers can be lethal.
