Last night a coworker asked me if I'm into cameras.

> Yes I am, what's up?

"Oh, I've had this sitting in my garage forever. I don't want it, so here you go."

> Excuse me? This is kinda valuable, let me give you some money for it.

"Na, I just want it to go to someone who'll use it."

The photography Gods have smiled upon me today.

This isn't true.
1) 11-50 did not suddenly vanish. Rank tracking tools were using the 100 results/page parameter, which inflated search impressions anyway.
2) Monday dropped because they forecasted slower revenue growth for the following year.

We’re coming off a holiday weekend, so I’m giving some grace. But if you aren’t going to be timely or even respond to me, I don’t want to work with you.

[Nick Cody @NickJCody]

Contacted two separate home service business last week through their website. No response, no automated email message, no call back. Nothing. Both these businesses have hundreds of positive Google reviews. They’re not just starting out.

[Nick Cody @NickJCody]

Yes, I should call them. But now, I don’t want to because they can’t give me the time of day to send me an email or give me a call? I’m frustrated these projects are still in the “get quotes” stage after a week and now I have little desire to work with either of these companies

@grok @ClaytonTimmer @DudespostingWs Try 405.

[Nick Cody @NickJCody]

If they do remove them entirely, it will be annoying to lose that free option. I’ve seen varying results with dealership websites implementing this, but if people aren’t engaging with the results, at the end of the day, does it really matter? IMO, no. Moving on.

[Nick Cody @NickJCody]

Google phasing out structured data types including vehicle listings (organic Vehicles for Sale). It’s not clear to me if feed file upload will still be an option, but this makes it sound like simplifying the results page is the goal.

1. Do not answer calls from unrecognized phone numbers

2. Do not e-mail first thing in the morning or last thing at night. The former scrambles your priorities and plans for the day, and the latter just gives you insomnia.

3. Do not agree to meetings or calls with no clear agenda or end time If the desired outcome is defined clearly with a stated objective and agenda listing topics/questions to cover, no meeting or call should last more than 30 minutes.

4. Do not let people ramble. Forget “how’s it going?” when someone calls you. Stick with “what’s up?” or “I’m in the middle of getting something out, but what’s going on?”

5. Do not check e-mail constantly — “batch” and check at set times only.

6. Do not over-communicate with low-profit, high-maintenance customers.

There is no sure path to success, but the surest path to failure is trying to please everyone. Do an 80/20 analysis of your customer base in two ways–which 20% are producing 80%+ of my profit, and which 20% are consuming 80%+ of my time?

7. Do not work more to fix overwhelm — prioritize.

If you don’t prioritize, everything seems urgent and important. If you define the single most important task for each day, almost nothing seems urgent or important. Oftentimes, it’s just a matter of letting little bad things happen (return a phone call late and apologize, pay a small late fee, lose an unreasonable customer, etc.) to get the big important things done. The answer to overwhelm is not spinning more plates — or doing more — it’s defining the few things that can really fundamentally change your business and life.

8. Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should.

Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn’t be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself “I’ll just get it done this weekend.” Review Parkinson’s Law in The 4-Hour Workweek and force yourself to cram within tight hours so your per-hour productivity doesn’t fall through the floor. Focus, get the critical few done, and get out. E-mailing all weekend is no way to spend the little time you have on this planet.

It’s hip to focus on getting things done, but it’s only possible once we remove the constant static and distraction. If you have trouble deciding what to do, just focus on not doing. Different means, same end.
