I took a brief break from blogging to go purchase a few $25 gift certificates for TWO DOLLARS (!!!) apiece from restaurant.com. What an amazing deal! Two of my favorite restaurants in Winston Salem – 6th & Vine, and the Zev (aka Zevely House) – were featured restaurants on the site! Ordering was a snap, and considering I only paid four bucks for 50 dollars’ worth of gift certificates, I’d say it’s a pretty good deal.
Anyway, Marc and Loren just took us through another update on the Portal: our new 150+ partner stores, premiere partners (stores who take part of our universal check out), print center, new demo videos, enhanced news functionality, movies and media… products with increased IBV… it’s simply mindblowing.
But all the high tech in the world can’t compare to high touch: 78% of folks report being persuaded by referrals and product reviews. Pretty cool that we’ve got personal customer managers and comparison shopping, huh?
This place is amazing…and it just keeps getting better. Every. Single. Day.
(PS, thanks for the blog shout-out, Marc and Loren. It’s a privilege to support ma’s Executive Team and all our great Distributors out in the field. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!)
