... world. Life is so short that we need to keep a positive attitude. Sometimes this is hard, but it's essential. Several years back I asked agents at a workshop what they were doing to keep their employees happy. Here (in no particular order) are a few of the ideas they offered: Let your people know they're doing a good job. Thank them! We have a massage therapist give 15-minute massages, about twice a year. We have flexible hours. Fifteen minute massages during stressful times (360 conversion, end of the year) . Flexibility in hours/days off (flex-time, four-day work week, off early to get kids off bus, etc.) . Buy ice cream or some special treat for all employees once a month. Vacation time. Luncheon ... to help deal with changes. Reward with Casual Dress-down Stickers. Offer Early Fridays, casual day on Friday. Recognize their accomplishments with prizes and awards. Money does not always motivate. Keep it friendly, not a war zone. Get them to come to work the next day. Recognize their accomplishments. Be flexible and allow time off for certain personal needs, medical visits, family day at school, etc. Advocate additional time off for fitness/exercise time beyond normal break times. Extend summer hours to all year. Allow CSRs to take ½ days off on Friday afternoons in summer (although time must be made up) . Owner is very flexible with hours.

... those who send it. Unfortunately, unsolicited E-mail of quality and substance are received with the same resentment as the junk messages. The success of the Internet has created a lust that knows no bounds. However, many who are rushing to the Internet fail to understand what customers want. Instead of making sales, they may be making enemies. 2. Lying to customers. Call it misrepresentation, massaging the facts, or a scam, but it's all lying. The developer of a new but untested Web site asked vendors for advertising dollars. In his letter, he made the claim that they had proved their ability to deliver products to customers. Unfortunately, this simply wasn't true. How would he respond to a sophisticated advertising executive asking about hits and sales figures? It's easy to shrug ... taped versions of his newsletter.
