Conquering Snoqualmie Pass
Very few people truly understand the hardships of the American trucker. Hollywood portrays them as wild rebels blazing down the highway enjoying their “freedom” as they disappear into the sunset. They are running the loud and mean road machines tearing through the night, fighting to get to their destination. The truth of the matter is that over the road trucking is hard, dangerous work. As the population grows in this country, it has become
Are you on the same page with your customers? If not, perhaps there’s simply a page missing. A page you design to help merchants, customers, clients and even co-workers speak the same language, use the same terms and communicate the same meanings.Very few people truly understand the hardships of the American trucker.

Name That Sound!
Recently when I called my auto mechanic to complain of a new sound my car was making the conversation went something like this: “Patti, it’s making a creaking noise.” “Do you mean like a door with rusty hinges opening?” “No, Patti, more like wood burning in a fireplace” I told her. “Oh, Mr. Harrison, that’s considered a cracking noise.” She’d obviously done this before. Several questions later we identified my car’s problem over the phone. Now we were clicking!
Synching Up Our Language
Let’s face it. One person's grind is another person's groan. One person's whining is another's whistling. You say chirp, I say clap, but we can't call the whole thing off!
The Honda Motor Company, makers of Acuras, Accords and Preludes, created a "cheat sheet" to help Patti and other techs identify noises customers complain about. For every noise a car can make their chart lists a description of what the noise sounds like in common terms. Their tech reps play charade with calling customers, using their reference sheet to identify offending sounds.
For example, a customer complaining of_______ is asked if it sounds like _________:
BANGING.........Slamming of a wooden screen door?
CLANGING..........Cow bell or dinner bell?
FLUTTERING..........A flag flapping in the wind?
GROWLING..........Dog protecting his food?
JINGLING..........Keys hitting each other?
PINGING..........Pebbles rolling around in a tin can?
RAPPING..........Judge hitting his gavel?
WHISTLING..........Steam coming out of a tea kettle?
This cheat sheet of 50 different sounds is a wonderful tool for fostering understanding, thus saving time and money. The following week I was tending a sick Tibetan Terrier and tried to explain sounds Pierre the dog was making to a veterinary technician. Did we ever need a cheat sheet to find common ground!

Do you wonder what enthralls an audience in a trade show? It’s not the huge crowd of people around or the excitement in the air – it is the powerful display of products with all their sleek placements, banners, and graphics. Exhibits, a shortened form for exhibition, seek to highlight the qualities of new products or services before a focused audience.Exhibitions can be of different types.

Success in business is predicated on the ability to communicate with and understand each other. Using the same terms and agreeing upon their meaning goes a long way toward partnering for success. When you do, you'll hear one of my favorite sounds:
CHA-CHING. . . the sound of your cash register receiving payments.
