  • Zane Safrit is the former CEO of Conference Calls Unlimited. His small business CEO ramblings have been posted at http://zanesafrit.typepad.com for several years now.

    3-4 years ago Conference Calls Unlimited ceased investing in traditional advertising. Truth be known, it wasn't an investment. It was a donation. And the ROI was that of a donation: A thank-you note, a towel and a jar of jelly-beans.

    He directed that budget to their customers' experience and incentivizing their staff.

    It works. Customer churn was less than 1%. Sales conversion ratio is over 75%. Profits tripled. Conference Calls Unlimited was profiled in MarketingSherpa and the book Testify: How Remarkable Companies Are Creating Customer Evangelists.

Back-dating emails with Gmail's CustomTime...?

I noticed gmail has a new feature that allows you to back-date your unsent emails. They call it  Custom Time.

Being able to back-date emails is a good thing?

So...6 hours after events have transpired that would not have transpired had you sent that email promptly...you can avoid all blame and accountability. You just Custom Time the email to appear like it was sent 7 hours earlier.

Huh. Maybe Enron's folks could have used this...

What's the word I'm looking for...enabler. Yeah. That's it.

You might want to consider the date Google posted the new "feature".
