It can be quite annoying at times to feel like normal everyday courtesy and procedures time way more effort or time than they should.

As shocking as it may seem, we mean to provide actual value from actual people who actually do what we intend to teach. No fluffy Nirvana Social Media allowed. Only proven, real life stuff that can actually make a difference in one's life and business. Thanks Lis!

I know what you mean. It doesn't take a lot of effort to make a lasting impression. They could offer you a card that says if they don't remember your drink order you get the next one free. Of course there would be a lot of missed drink orders if you go in at a different time or location of the same company. But then you come back to “prove” them wrong and collect you free drink. If they did this to every new face they saw for a week or two I am sure they would get a lot of new people to frequent their store. Worth a shot and fun to boot.

Great idea Josh. I also frequent the caffeine cafe's. In the last 2 days, I've been to 3 different coffee shops. I was offered nothing special at either of them to make me return.

They all had free wi-fi. Coffee was comparable and good. I was treated well but an opportunity was there to make an impact with me and none did. There was no marketing materials or signs indicating they were involved in social media, or to follow them on Twitter for discounts.

This was a totally wasted opportunity. If one of them were to do what you suggest, it would not take long to make an impact for these businesses.

I think it falls under the new business model of helping people and providing a greater value to their bottom line.

No conferences? No membership sites? Shish it must be the speaking circuit you are aiming for right – and mean you guys have got to wanna be famous surely?

Or is this a new business model – like acutally providing value for customers – that could be unique in the whole social media space!

I agree that social media actually makes people better, knowing that so much of what they do is out in the open online. I think the crime-invitation factor will only grow and the learning will come at the expense of some great tragedies, unfortunately sad but true. The popsicle index doesn't exist online.
