		<description><![CDATA[With all of these strides to become better and better with customer interaction and "expectation delivery" why is it that so many people out there question that customer service is dead?  I want good, consistent customer focused service.  Too often in my industry of real estate we hear vendors, speakers and products touting the exemplary is necessary.  Where I agree to an extent that the exemplary makes you memorable and is a pleasant surprise in certain elements - my issue is that we should probably focus on providing "really good" experiences first.  These don't HAVE to be amazing every time, they should simply focus on providing what the consumer expects and maybe a little more.  There's little value in providing OUTSTANDING service 1:5 times if the other 4 times it's less than par.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What are you really focusing your brand on?  Are you using killer beats and dancing hamsters to gain the trust and approval of someone that is looking to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars with you?  Are you "gimmicking" your way through business right now?  Take a minute to think about this.  I mean I love dancing hamsters and all - but that doesn't mean I want to drive their car.  Do you?]]></description>

There are challenges here as well, obstacles that I will face, and lessons to be learned from the RE.net Matrix. One cannot exist without the other in our world any more than it could in the movie. But, I for one, can attest to the fact that this world, outside the argumentative noise of existing problems, looks like one with solutions on the horizon.]]></description>
