No Pay No Restroom Equal Poor Customer Service Rating

In today's business environment, like anything else, you should be aware of your actions. It is true that in some neighborhoods in this current economy, we can assume that you will find homeless men, women and children. In some cases, they may even be mentally ill. But, this does not mean that as a business owner, you should treat them any differently than a paying customer.

Why? Well, because when you start profiling individuals due to the way they dress for instance, you might slip up and assume one thing about a President and CEO who regularly visit your establishment while paying for his meals accordingly, when actually its another.

Now don't get me wrong, I understand the rights of a business owner and I double and triple check quite often them from time to time.

However, having a security policy where if you're
not paying for a meal first, you can't use my
restroom?

So, are you telling me that if I had to utilize
the restroom really bad after traveling several
miles on the road, plus the fact that I was
hungry; I would have to risk urinating on myself
while standing in the line to pay to use your
restroom first. Out 'freaking' rageous!

Well guess what!? This incident where I
personally had to pay literally to use a
McDonald's Restaurant first, actually happened
to me December 29th, 2010.

I arrived at a Restaurant located in West
Atlanta off Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and actually
proceeded to the restroom.

Nevertheless, I was stopped by a Restaurant Employee
and told that I could not use the restroom until after
I bought an item from the menu first. This was confirmed
by a Patron and by a person that appeared to be
a Manager on duty.

Did I buy a cheeseburger to use the restroom? Yes?

In fact, after utilizing the restroom, I returned to
counter to pickup my cheeseburger and speak to
the Manager.

I told the Manager that she had lost a Customer, she
thanked me for my purchase and gave me the cheeseburger.

I proceeded to walk out the door and threw that
cheeseburger in the trash can in plain site of
other customers.

That saying about, 'watch who you entertain,
fore, you never know who dress up or down in
society is true' (I slightly modified it).

No pay no restroom equals a poor customer
service rating from me. Rest assured, I
will not return to that McDonald's nor
will I recommend it to no one; not even my
enemies.

So, what do you think?

Creditability & You

A Previous Microblog Broadcast by C. Henry Adams
Tuesday, October 19, 2010 9:00 a.m. EST

Note: This Microblog has been modified.

Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Evening World! How are you? Fine, I pray. Topic: Creditability & You.

You know, this saying is almost nearly true. If you want to destroy a person, kill their creditability in the people that surrounds them.

No, I'm not going to go 'Negative' in this Microblog, but I am going to discuss counter steps when someone attacks Your Creditability.

But, 1st- let's discuss the definition of Creditability briefly. It's the quality of being creditable, respected, trusted and believable.

I personally will admit, that in the Community where I grew-up, I might have lost creditability in a small number of people's eyes.

Why did I just say such a foolish thing? Well, listen- if I worried about the "little" people who never thought of me in a positive light...

Yes, I said "little" people, not referring to other Folks, just the negative ones, I grew-up with & now avoid; I would not own a biz. today.

That being said, here's a few ways to counter attacks to your Creditability as follows: 1) Don't give-up, give-in or give-out on your goals.

2) Speak to people positively, shake their hands if ever possible when greeting them. 3) Follow-up. 4) Stand up in what you believe in period.

5) Control your temper when faced with adverse situations and lower your voice to make your point in a discussion gone heated.

6) When they laugh at you, call you "Crazy" or even avoid making contact with you; know that there is a God, if you believe in God.

Finally, 7) Know that the experience you have gone through or going through is a TEST. Yes, it is... fore, if you survive it, you will prosper.

Creditability is built-in your personality and develops over years and decades. It is NOT easily destroyed, but it can be repaired.

Facing Adversities In Life As A Business Owner

A Previous Microblog Broadcast by C. Henry Adams
Saturday, October 16, 2010 3:00 p.m. EST

Note: This Microblog has been modified.

Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good Morning World! How are you? Fine, I pray. Topic: Facing Adversities In Life As A Business Owner

Since July of 2009, I have been facing the consequences of one action that I will not soon forget.

It appears that taking "risks" for granted and not thinking things through will cause you to have many regrettable moments.

The risk I've taken have caused me to learn not one, but many hard lessons. Adversity is created through making wrong choices in life.

To overcome adversity, you must resist the temptation to give-in, give-out or give-up. Furthermore, you must accept consequences of your action.

In many instances, I have pulled what I will call a "Star Trek". Boldly go where No "AFRAID" Man has gone before.

Some have called me - "CRAZY". While others have shown respect. But, the ultimate reward is not recognition. Its the ability to OVERCOME.

I leave you with this question, in this recession. Are you, as a 'Business Owner' or just an 'Extraordinary Person'- ready to overcome your Adversity in Life?

Utilizing Social Media And Outdoor Advertisement To Reach Bereaved Loved Ones: An Interview with Alfonso Dawson Mortuary, Inc.

In between the telephone calls received and family members of deceased love ones stopping by to pickup Death Certificates, the Alfonso Dawson Mortuary Staff is always friendly and professional.

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit this Southwest Atlanta Landmark and speak with Mrs. Phoebe Dawson-Ushery, the President of this Family Owned & Operated Business.

Despite her busy schedule, she took a few minutes with me to tell us about the firm while she multi-task. When I say that she performed more than one duty, I meant it.

One moment she was answering phone calls personally, assisting a family member with insurance papers and addressing a Funeral Director in another instance.

Nevertheless, I was able to slip in seven questions regarding this organization below:

C. Henry Adams: Greetings Mrs. Phoebe Dawson-Ushery, thank you for taking time to interview with BIE Media Group today. Could you tell us how long have Alfonso Dawson Mortuary, Inc. been apart of this Community in the City of Atlanta?

Mrs. Phoebe Dawson-Ushery: Alfonso Dawson Mortuary, Inc. has been apart of the Southwest Community in the City of Atlanta for 45 years.

C. Henry Adams: Wow, that's nearly half a century, thank you. For those individuals who are not familiar with this area, but need a Funeral Home for their Family, where then are you all located?

Mrs. Phoebe Dawson-Ushery: We are located at 3000 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive Southwest in Atlanta, Georgia 30311.

C. Henry Adams: Now, I understand that the Mortuary is accessible to the public via MARTA, as well as, that it is about 1.5 miles from either Interstates 285 and 20 respectively on the west side of Metro Atlanta . What are some of the ways that a Family or Individual can contact you?

Mrs. Phoebe Dawson-Ushery: A Family or Individual may call us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (404) 691-3810. We are also on the web 24/7 at dawsonmortuary.com. admatlanta.com and funeralesatlanta.com. A family or individual may contact our Internet Staff at alfonsodawson(at)aol.com, customersvc(at)dawsonmortuary.com as well.
Oh, we are also on Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin to name a few.

C. Henry Adams: So I understand that Alfonso Dawson Mortuary, Inc. was one of the first Funeral Homes to embrace Social Media and Social Networking in late 2008 and early 2009 before it became popular. What services do Alfonso Dawson Mortuary, Inc. offer?

Mrs. Phoebe Dawson-Ushery: Alfonso Dawson Mortuary, Inc. offer a professional/ compassionate staff, pre-arranged services, a large selections of caskets, cremations, memorial urns, domestic & international shipping services of loved-ones and burial arrangements at Resthaven Gardens of Memory Cemetery.

C. Henry Adams: And I gather that for 45 years of performing these services, you all are quite the experts in what it is that you do. Also, I notice you did not mention the Spanish-Speaking Counselors, Insurance Agent, Hair Dresser and Licensed Funeral Directors available, so I was just going to add that to your offerings. OK, so tell me something. Has Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. or I should say BIE Media Group been helpful in Web Development, Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing and Outdoor Marketing for your firm?

Mrs. Phoebe Dawson-Ushery: Yes, extremely helpful. They enhanced our web site and brought us up to speed in a new era of marketing for small to medium size business. We are on some of the most popular social networking sites known to today as a result of their services. BIE provides excellent customer service with the willingness to accomplish goals set forth through marketing to the public.

C. Henry Adams: Does Alfonso Dawson Mortuary, Inc. like its Outdoor Billboard Advertisement that BIE Media Group designed, developed and setup with the assistance of CBS Outdoor?

Mrs. Phoebe Dawson-Ushery: We love it! We are very proud of the billboard. It definitely helps to reach our target market in specific areas.

C. Henry Adams: Well, thank you very much Mrs. Dawson-Ushery for the interview. Before I go, could you tell us what are the famous words of the Late Alfonso Dawson Sr. that your Mortuary stands by today?

Mrs. Phoebe Dawson-Ushery: Our Father would always say, "We are large enough to serve you, yet small enough to appreciate your business."

C. Henry Adams: "Large enough to serve you, yet small enough to appreciate your business." Great words to live by, again thank you for taking some time in your busy schedule to meet with us.

Good Evening, Good Morning & Good Afternoon World! How are you? Fine, I pray. Topic: SMBs Should Use Social Networking To Market & Evolve

According to a World Book Dictionary, 1979 Ed., 'Evolution is a process or formation of growth'. I interpret this in short as 'Development'.

So, for all practical purposes, I will associate Evolution to the Keyword: 'Evolve'- here, to talk about MARKETING a Small Business (SMB).

Someone always asked my company to build them a Web Site to reach the Masses. But, do you want to reach the Masses or your Target Market?

So, how does Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. or its Dept. "BIE Media Group" create 'Evolutions' in Marketing for Small Business?

The answer is NOT a Secret, the DETAILS are our Tradesecret: 1) Start off small with Online Biz. Dir.(s) (2) Create Soc. Net. Connect (More)

COR: According to a World Book Dictionary, 1977 Edition., Evolution is a 'process of formation or growth;...'.

However, it is strongly recommended that a SMBs (Small Business) have a web site in their possession and BIE Media Group can make it happen.

Giving Grants To SMB & MsB Could Help Economy In USA

A Previous Microblog Broadcast by C. Henry Adams
Monday, September 06, 2010 1:29:06 PM EST

Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good Morning World! How are you? Fine, I pray. Topic: Giving Grants To SMB & MsB Could Help Economy In USA

This will make the THIRD time I mentioned this Concept this year, not last year, but giving GRANTS to SMB / MsB could help our economy.

Folks, I made up the 'MsB' thing, but it stands for Medium-sized Business. Of course, SMB stands for Small Business.

Somebody said, "What kind of GRANTs should be given to SMB(s) & MsB(s) C. Henry?" Ans. Grants related to Public Works, Housing & Up Keep.

An Example: Let's say 'Bob's Landscaping Co., LLC' is seeking opportunities to grow, but can't afford equipment to expand.

IF the US Govmt, provided a GRANT through a particular GOVMT Entity to keep the grass on US Highways Cut, BLC, LLC could employ & expand.

Now don't get me wrong, we are aware that its not that simple, but the concept could help our system in areas where Budget CUTS were made.

Somebody said, "What does BLC, LLC stand for? Ans. The make believe company called, 'Bob's Landscaping Co., LLC' for our scenario.

Somebody else said, "So, if the US Govmt, examine areas of public interest that was cut due to the economy, it might help it with a GRANT?"

Ans. Yes, especially if the Govmt, help a SMB or MsB expand while employing Folks to work the project that could be under 100K USD.

So, if you are a Small Business Owner or even a Medium-sized Business Owner, could you foresee benefits from PROPERLY utilized GRANT MONEY?

What's the Hype about MPB? Anybody know?

A Previous Microblog Broadcast by C. Henry Adams


Good Evening, Good Morning and Good Afternoon World! How are you? Fine, I pray. What's the Hype about MPB? Anybody know?

Well, I've been struggling on deciding how to talk about MPB, because a number of my FB Friends are actively involved in it.

Somebody said, "What the heck is a 'MPB'? Ans. MPB Today is a MLM that offers Money & Grocery Vouchers in Lieu of YOU adding Others to it.

MLM = Multi-Level Marketing, some call it today 'Network Marketing'. Nevertheless, We (BIE Media Group) looked at it carefully.

MPB Today is basically a web site based Marketing Tool of Southeastern Delivery, LLC - A Grocery Delivery Company out of Pensacola, FL.

According to the Delivery info found on Southeastern Delivery's website, they only deliver in Pensacola, Ensley, Cantonment, Pace & Gulf Breeze, Florida.

So, my question is why are Folks outside these areas buying into this MLM at $200.00 USD a pop? I have been told for residual purposes.

Somebody said, " Deliver what C. Henry!?" Ans. Southeastern Delivery, LLC - sales & delivers groceries from Online & Phone Purchases.

Somebody else said, "Oh no C. Henry, are you saying you like MLMs now? LOL" Ans. NO, but I can't confirm or deny this one. Seriously.

But , I will say this... to stimulate MINDS and generate LEGALLY- ideas or concepts to make money. BUYING GROUPS might just work.

Folks, if you can legally find a WAY to create a BUYING Group where ALL- legally benefit to a certain extent,.....

Then, you might have a recession buster. Like the Young Folks say, "I'm just saying." US WARNING: Know the Tax Laws & FTC Regulations.

One Reason I Will Not Ever Get Rid Of My Yahoo Email Account, But Migrate To GMAIL

By C. Henry Adams


In the title of this Blog, I mentioned that I possess a Yahoo Email and a GMAIL Account. This is a fact.

Several Cyber Security Experts have recommend that I get GMAIL, so I did. I have had my Yahoo Account for over a decade, but because I've utilized it for so long, that is not the reason for keeping it.

The reason for keeping it is because I now use it as a database to research emails, contacts, companies, invitations and other business transactions including files I've attached or received via email over the years.

So, you may ask - "C. Henry, why would you migrate to GMAIL?"

I would then say, "Good Question! GMAIL is GVoice, Docs, Google Calendar and GTalk to just name a few".

Google has very successfully integrated a lot of its other Apps (Applications) into GMAIL. Its literally a one stop source, PLUS it comes highly recommended and a little more secure.

Now, in my professional opinion and my professional opinion only- there is nothing wrong with having a Yahoo Email account and GMAIL account.

So, what do you think?
