I personally have owned every single individual product on that list. Today,  they are all consolidated into one device, my cell phone. I am sure you can think of many more items, devices, and gadgets that have been eliminated by the advent of the smart phone.

The #1 Thing Your Company Better Be Focusing On Is…

Making it EASY for your customers to do business with you. Less hassle, less policy, less steps, less red tape, less explaining, and less redundancy. Ask me once – then you keep track of the rest. Customers want a personalized experience, where businesses recognize them, predict and anticipate what they want and need, and provide it seamlessly, at every touch point, face-to-face, ear-to-ear, and click-to-click. And they want to be treated like they are really cared for.
