Podcast Description
We were tired of reading books and hearing from "experts" about how to deal with customers, yada, yada... when they have never owned a business. Most of them write that stuff for fluff but we are the non-fluff small business people who decided to go against the "experts." At Business Beware we don't whine and complain about how bad a customer was, we do something about it.

How To Train Your Customers - Are They Serious?! - Oct 12,2010 | We came across an article that talked about customer service, how to deal with customers and why you should train your customer. Needless to say this was our "stuck on stupid" but we also talked about why this is what's wrong with businesses or mainly corporate America. There was also an article that came out this past week about chef/restaurant owner - Andy Husbands that he kicked out a rude customer in his restaurant recently. We chat about that and how people are getting so tired of these bad customers and finally doing something about it which of course makes our hearts smile. | 10/12/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
