Running Business Without Mailing Address

I got a call today from Wendy to pick up two boxes of letters, all sent to my old mailing address. We moved out five years ago and if I remember correctly, the last time I picked up those letters from Wendy is two years ago. Wendy is kind enough to collect it for us and keep all of them nicely in a box.

Letters are not environment friendly

For about a year, we work with a mobile office concept. No mailing address are published in our website, namecard or letterhead. Customers have no problem trusting us for our business email solution. Our operation are not affected at all without the mailing address.

1. Businesses need email address, not mailing address

2. Customers choose you not because you have a mailing address

3. My mailbox sit in my netbook, not the one fixing on the wall outside my office

4. Never print your mailing address on your namecard.

My iPhone Review

I didn’t like it at all the first few days. It is too Apply de way. But, I can’t live without now. Through it is not a netbook or notebook replacement, the screen and the touch keyboard can not come near to my Dell Mini. But, it is a must to replace the old handphone we have. It replace Garmin after I have installed the Tom Tom navigator, it replace my calculator, my mp3 player, my twitter…

Missing Plus Sign in Panasonic Fax Machine

You can substitute it with two zero (0) EXCEPT when sending fax to Singapore.

Due to some historical reason, you need to use 02 instead of 00.

For example if a Singapore fax number looks like 65-6578-9090

Outside Malaysia: dial 00-65-6578-9090
Inside Malaysia (using fixed line): dial 02-6578-9090

Cute :)

1. Send reminder in time. We do it exactly 30 days each cycle.

3. Termination for the stubborn one

4. Clear the dispute and difference in expectation

5. They own you the money, so don’t feel bad to get it back

Some customers will sweet talk to you and make you feel that if you are harsh, you won’t get business from them in future. Remember, this is not true. If this is true, you do not want this customers because the moment they don’t pay, it is noise. It become a cost to get YOUR money back.

The Last Thing You Will Say to Google

I was following the case at WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center between Google and a domain name owner. This interesting case was finally over with Google wins the disputed domain names ‘googlenetbiz.com’!

Looks Google has included the email they have received from the previous domain name offer in their affidavit

I will sell my Domain

googlenetbiz.com

for $50000 Only,

Do you Buy it.

According to Google, this is “Thus, the Respondent has offered to sell the disputed domain name for “valuable consideration” in excess of his reasonable out-of pocket costs, which is prima facie evidence of bad faith. Although the Respondent has indeed offered to sell the disputed domain name to the Center and not to the Complainant itself or to a competitor of the Complainant, this fact is and of itself is not germane to the finding of bad faith. As noted above, the circumstances set out in paragraph 4(b) of the Policy, in particular, the subparagraph cited above are not exclusive. The fact that the Respondent has offered to sell the domain name (albeit to the Center and not to the Complainant or to a competitor of the Complainant) is evidence of bad faith.”

Before Launching New Service

We tend to launch service too easily when there is a new ideas. It is so easy to launch one than to manage, especially when you are dealing with renewal. I got couple of questions which you might want to ask yourself before you start one:

1. Is this service renewable or one-off

2. Will you start work without first payment or must with full payment?

3. In the case of dispute, what is the refund policy?

4. What is the short name of your service?

5. What is the setup instruction once you have received the payment?

6. Upon collection of renewal fee, what is the procedure to renew?

7. Work out the instructions for service deactivation and termination.

8. What about service REacticvation (payment received after deactivation)?

9. Grace period for each de/reactivation and termination mode?

10. Change plan of existing service?
