How often do you use the broomstick objection?

Have you sent away someone to get something ungettable, so you can reject without having to do it directly?

Why did the Wizard ask Dorothy to bring him the broomstick of the Wicked Witch? It’s not because he needed a broomstick.

It’s because he wanted Dorothy to go away.

As a CEO, you would be constantly getting requests for meetings, for interviews, for preferred supplier status, etc (the list goes on).

Sometimes, its easy to say NO.

At other times, you want to sound nice, so you send the requester away with a broomstick objection.

Now, the question for the day is ‘Have you every been at the receiving end of the broomstick objection and how did you handle that?’ Give it a thought and post a reply in the DMD Group.

You're Not The Hero — Your Customer Is

Every time a news item comes out that creates panic (due to storms, war or pandemic), people scramble for the stores.

Brands are of little concern during these period.

But that doesn’t mean its an opportunity to charge more or harass the customer.

Remember, things will get back to normal and customers won’t forget how your support team treated them during days of panic.

Meta confirms it may train its AI on any image you ask Ray-Ban Meta AI to analyze

If you have the feeling that what you see only belongs to your eyes, then that is about to change.

If you plan to use the Meta RayBan glasses, what you see may also be seen by Meta.

Meta has confirmed that any image you share with Meta AI can be used to train its AI.

From a privacy point of view it might sound a lot.

In fact, we end up sharing so much of our images, videos, bank details and passwords with AI systems that one more gadget using our images does not sound a great deal.

Until, you look at it from the psychological point of view.

We have been using sunglasses for so long that moving into private areas with sunglasses is almost second nature.

Meaning, the chances of sharing sensitive images and private secrets with Meta AI is going to be very high.
