Romeo’s Tip of the Week: Smile, Give a Friendly Nod, or Say Hello to Someone Today

"Tip of the Week" posts by Romeo, the little black dog

Hi Everyone!

Well, I have to tell all of you that there were a few days this week that I just had that blah feeling. It kept raining and looking so gray and gloomy outside. Needless to say, I had to stay inside A LOT. I’m not used to that. I’m used to getting out and engaging in some funtime with all my friends. Just when I thought “enough of this” the sun returned and momma took me to the dog park right away.

It was great to be out in the bright sunshine and, best of all, I was able to catch up on some playtime with my friends. I even met two new dogs. They were much bigger than me but they were very friendly to me so I wasn’t afraid. Before long we were engaging in a friendly game of chase. It’s really easy to make new friends if you take the time to be friendly, interesting, and not too overpowering. Friendship makes life a wonderful place to be.

You can apply the same principle to making new business relationships. By drawing a potential new customer’s attention with something creative and interesting in an honest, non-overpowering way, you can engage in a conversation about the products and or services your company offers. It could be the beginning of a strong, lasting business relationship. The team at Little Black Dog Social Media and More are experts about that and much more.

My tip of the week: take the time to give someone a smile, friendly nod, or hello. It may engage a conversation that leads to a new friendship; and friendships really do make life a wonderful place to be.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
