This building on the Kirkland waterfront is for sale.
Okay, but what is going to happen to the burger restaurant???

There are still many businesses going out of business. I see many empty buildings and empty store fronts. I see very little sign of economic recovery here in the US. But it is also true that businesses are starting to hire more people.

Wolf in sheep's clothing.

In business, wolf in sheep's closing does very little to your company. If you are good at something, you should let the people know. If people think you are sheep, although you are a wolf inside, you are still a sheep.

This Audi has Lamborghini V10 engine in it.
So, what!
I rather have Lamborghini.

Operating without CEO

6月

17日

While this week, Mayumi Nakamura, CEO of PSPINC is at University of Washington for some type of Management Training Course. That means, PSPINC is operating without her for last 4 days now.

It is not good as a company to loose CEO, but it is good for the company to be able to operate without her. Mayumi does so much at PSPINC, people need to realize that they need to make their own decision and be responsible for it.

She will be back next week.

Here is how SPAM works.

The average SPAM gets 0.015% response. Yes, people respond to SPAM email too. So, if you send out 100,000 emails, You will receive 15 responses. For that 15 leads, you have spent almost no money, it is a good ROI, don't you think. This is the reason why you continue to see SPAM email.

PSPINC's strongest competitors!!!

6月

8日

Whom does PSPINC compete with and loose?

Yes, we loose to particular competitors for our web and email hosting services. No, it is not to other Internet Hosting Service companies. We actually win most of the time if we are compared to others, but we loose to two types of competitors.

First, we loose to family members. “My son does all our IT related things.” In every respect PSPINC is better than a sone of the owner, but we don’t even usually get to present our services.

Secondly, we loose to IT mangers of the larger companies. Many times IT managers think we will be eliminating their jobs when they move the server to PSPINC. They will come up with every small detail to discredit our services.

We have not come up with the strong enough argument to complete with those competitors. But, soon we believe the money and headache they suffer will move their services outside. We will be waiting for you.

Do you want an Office with that?

I purchased a computer at Office Depot ... Did you know Office Depot has a contract with Microsoft to ask about Office purchase to their customers. It is like "Do you want a tries with that?" at McDonald's.

"Do you want an Office with it?"
"No thanks."

It is annoying.
