Happy 278th Birthday, George Washington!
Edward Kennedy was born on February 22 as well. This is also the day that Andy Warhol died in 1987 at age 58. What else, you ask? Well… in 1934 “It Happened One Night” starring Claudette Colbert & Clark Gable premiered at Radio City Music Hall, Woolworth’s opened its first store (1879), Tennessee made slavery illegal (1865), and Spain sold Florida to the U.S. for 5 milion bucks. Oh, and one more – in 1956 on 2/22, Elvis Presley entered the music charts for the 1st time with Heartbreak Hotel.
Caller ID Blocking Doesn’t Work When Calling a Toll-Free Number
Being in the marketing business, I just assumed everyone knew this. I found out this week that most people don’t know it!
This from the marketing website of tollfreenumber.org:
Why Use An 800 Number?
Track Calls with call-capture
Do you want to have a list of everyone who has called you? We employ a service called Real-time Automatic Number Identification (ANI) which identifies the caller’s ten-digit phone number. This means that anytime someone calls you, we will unblock their caller ID even if they are calling from a blocked phone number. There is no extra charge for this service and it doesn’t require any special equipment.
This makes tracking leads effective and simple. You’ll also generate more leads since every incoming call will be accounted for.
On Goals
“The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way and who will be sharing the adventure with them.”
—Dennis Whaitley
Take the high road
“Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of ‘crackpot’ than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost.”
—Thomas J. Watson
Christmas
Even as an adult I find it difficult to sleep on Christmas Eve. Yuletide excitement is a potent caffeine, no matter your age.
