Over the last week I have been blogging about customer service experiences during a family trip along the Great Ocean Road. I am now back in Melbourne and am staying at the Travelodge Docklands, which is my usual hotel of choice when in Melbourne. I stay here because of the location primarily, but also due
Day 3; Service- Does it really matter or will we pay whatever?
In the continuing journey to see if good or bad service drives business growth from a first-hand experience during my family holiday, I decided to tackle things a little differently today based on a few observations this week. When we are on holidays and venture to a destination which is ‘in season’ and heavily populated
Day 3- Charge whatever you want pricing- coming tomorrow
Today’s post will come tomorrow due to the fact I can’t get my Telstra Internet dongle to work and I don’t trust writing on my phone based on yesterday, but if this photo works its a sneak peak about my topic! Tony
How’s Business? It is service or the economy that is the issue? Part 2
Day two of the holiday and quest to see if customer service is to blame for slow business, or whether it is all economic! Like all well planned events, this one didn’t go completely as per schedule as the day progressed. Initial plan today was to head to the Otway Fly Treetops walk, then head

WiFi @ 35,000 feet….cool or unnecessary expense?
On a recent trip, I flew back to Australia on the A380 with Emirates and it is a pretty cool plane, having had a few trips on them, but that isn’t the point for today… One of the offerings aboard the plane was Wi-Fi connectivity on board. Awesome I thought, and started investigating the on
FAILED BY TECHNOLOGY (OR THE TELCO’s)!
Christmas holidays, the chance to relax, unwind, see family, eat and drink way too much and more often than not travel away to do so. This year we have been in Hawks Nest, NSW for the week of Christmas, with great weather until the last day or so. At least this gives me a
Business Success = Execution
I have recently read a great book related to all our daily business lives as it is one of the key challenges that are faced daily. ‘Execution- the discipline of getting things done’ (Bossidy & Charan). This book is highly recommended for all business leaders and for today, I will focus on the first key
