Is Janie Clark a real person and why do they send spam on twitter direct messages?

Hello.

What is your policy on sending unsolicited DM's on Twitter?
I regret to find that the operator of NWAB2B website is sending self-promotional spam messages by Direct Message contact on Twitter. This is considered an abuse of your Twitter followers. Worse, the direct message came before dawn!
Please stop spamming. If you are a real person, then we can have a real dialog on Twitter and I can help promote your business efforts in NWA, through word of mouth and discussion.
The best way for you to earn the respect of your Twitter followers and prove NWAB2B is an ethical business -- is for you to post your new policy on Twitter saying that you pledge to discontinue self promotional DM's on Twitter.

Especially with the wire securities cages, or storage lockers, they're simply the best low-cost alternative to building permanent walls, plus the versatility to be expanded or taken down and reinstalled should floor plans change.

Recycling while you eat

Greenblogger — 2011-03-01T06:24:10-08:00

Hey Business Owners, you don't have to reinvent the wheel -- or the recycling bin as the case may be. There are others who are pioneering the way.

Mark your calendar and plan to attend a four-part Recycling Luncheon series in March hosted by the Benton County Solid Waste District. The programs will run Thursdays, March 10 - March 31, from 11:30-12:30 in the Administration Room above the cafeteria in the Mabee Building on the JBU campus in Siloam Springs.

This is a chance to learn from business, industry, city government, and solid waste professionals, cost effective ways to recycle and reduce garbage generation, sustain resources, educate as well as garner support for sustainable practices.

You�ll learn how to maximize private and public dollars by getting a cross section of your community involved in your recycling/sustainability efforts.

Jim Twiggs from McKee Baking will speak on Thursday, March 10. Twiggs and his Green Team have diverted 70% of McKee waste from the landfill, saving the company tens of thousands of dollars.

Other speakers include Tom Cogan from Clarksville Parks, Louise Mann from Waste Reduction Resources, Martha Treece from Ozark Recycling Enterprise, and Brian Pugh from Fayetteville Solid Waste Department.

Each presentation will run between 35-40 minutes. If you can�t make one of the lunches we ask that you send someone in your place. We encourage you to invite at least two other people to attend. We want to create a district wide network of �can do� positive people who will help spread the word on reducing waste and making the most of our natural and financial resources.

Because the group is limited to 50 people, reservation (and payment) for all four lunches in the series is required. Checks should be made out to ARAMARK for $26.40 and mailed to

Benton County Solid Waste District

5702 Brookside Rd.

Bentonville, AR 72712

First come first serve. Reservations need to be made by March 4.

Questions: Call Louise Mann at (479) 582-1928 or email her Lmann2@earthlink.net Please put �Luncheon Series� in the Subject Heading.

Henry Award/ Museum story

Stephanie Brown — 2010-06-22T10:59:33-07:00

The Museum of Native American History stands out among other museums. We display artifacts that span the history of native America from the first ancient migrations of 10,000 years ago to the historic period of the 18th century, and we are dedicated to displaying them in such a way that every visitor can learn about our shared cultural heritage. Our museum is proud to display artifacts so rare and unusual, they are unlikely to be seen anywhere else in the world, yet because of our dedication to the public, admission is free of charge.

We were honored to be gifted with the Arkansas Heritage Award. It has been wonderful for bringing attention to us, especially through the many articles written about the award. That attention has certainly increased museum attendance.

Northwest Arkansas may not see the volume of tourism experienced in much larger cities, and though we do see our fair share, from a museum�s perspective we would always welcome more! However, we are forever grateful for the Convention and Visitor�s Bureau of Bentonville for the fantastic job they do, bringing visitors to the area and to our museum.

RE: Make a Referral Week

Hungry? My favorite small business eatery is the Green Bean at Village on the Creeks in Rogers. Everything is homemade from scratch, much of it organic and absolutely yum. My favorite is to sit on the patio near the pond and wait for the chapel bells to ring. It's a fabulous unwind for lunch place. I'm having shittake mushroom soup and homemade bread right now!

My first referral goes out to Jay Howard at IO Metro. They do trendy home furnishings for less money. It's not a discount store, but a funtion of good sourcing and finding reasonably priced furniture and home accessories that my wife loves.

Becky Paulk of Simplify Professional Services is a small business bookkeeping hero. I never realized how much help I needed or how much having this ally really helps my business. She's smart, savvy, energetic, and affordable. Email Becky.

Who have you done business with that you can give high kudos to? Who made a stressful situation better? Who solved a problem for you or your business? Make the referral, make the recommendation here. We'll send the comment on to the rightful owner (if we can).

Make a Referral Week

JanieClark — 2010-03-06T08:54:25-08:00

You can blame Ivan Misner, Bob Burg, and Ben McConnell for this.

Ivan is the founder of BNI and author of "The 29% Solution," Bob is the author of "Endless Referrals" and "Go-Givers Sell More," and Ben is co-author of "Creating Customer Evangelists."

They`ve cooked up something called, "Make a Referral Week," and I think you will like what it`s all about.

Here`s the scenario: Make a Referral Week is an entrepreneurial approach to stimulating the small business economy one referred business at a time. The goal for the week is to generate 1000 referred leads to 1000 deserving small businesses in an effort to highlight the impact of a simple action that could blossom into millions of dollars in new business.

While this is going on nationally, Biz2Biz wants to bring it all down home, Northwest Arkansas. So here's your chance to refer a small business in Northwest Arkansas.

How many businesses can we refer in a week (March 8-12)? Ready... Set... Go! The challenge is on!

How do I fire the boss' son?

Concerned — 2009-12-11T14:14:54-08:00

The boss hired his son to work in my department. He's not trainable, can't be disciplined, and disrupts the morale of my team. How do I get rid this bad employee without threatening my job?
