Is/Did "Healing in the HeartLand" air in other markets on the NBC affiliates? or is it just an OKLA fund raiser? {nm} damenchipguy May 29, 18:23

I thought it was national - it aired on the St Louis station JDolphin May 29, 19:21

Nationwide...FWIW NBC has been the one to air other telethons on their own, without other networks, in the past {nm} Buy BONDS 20 May 29, 19:22

Another ABC question, retail related: islander May 29, 13:42

Take the zero and try to convert them into a retruning customer. Give the benefits of the small biz over the big box retailer. {nm} skamanfu May 29, 14:07

yup, agree {nm} Moviesnob May 29, 14:45

You would want repeat business not cherry pickers, I would say "C" and your customer service should allow for the additional price. damenchipguy May 29, 14:41

C - Major Chain Store could not meet their needs which creates a greater demand... if they do not like your price they can look elsewhere {nm} RazorHawk May 29, 16:24

D. Offer to price match only if they purchase something else that you DO make a lot of profit on. From experience, if you BSmurf May 29, 16:28

Excellent Choice on this one. See INSIDE for more.... RotoHockeyYTD2013 May 29, 19:31

I would be careful about selling it for $15 if it's something they will buy more of. They will expect if at that price the next time JDolphin May 29, 19:24

Question inside for you: Its about customer service and you can simply answer A,B,or C islander May 29, 09:10

B daveart May 29, 09:26

B {nm} lapuckfan May 29, 09:30

B. Though any bad attitude might move me to C. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! May 29, 10:05

B or C, depending on many factors. As a small business owner, I have to make this decision all the time. {nm} BSmurf May 29, 10:15

B but not at cost, I would not lose money. {nm} damenchipguy May 29, 10:49

thanks so far! Being in small business retail, I try to go "A" as much as is reasonable. Recently, had to go "C" islander May 29, 11:55

B {nm} tealfan May 29, 12:19

A. Costco would provide a Replacement at no charge. B is a poor second choice. C stands for being a C*nt. RotoHockeyYTD2013 May 29, 12:58

its too bad you continue to be so rude islander May 29, 14:09

There is a huge difference in what a large company is able to afford in terms of loss vs customer retention compared to a small business. {nm} BSmurf May 29, 16:22

I've worked for big companies and small companies in some customer service capacity. IMO,always better to bend over backward if your a small Moviesnob May 29, 17:06

You're right in your observations, but there is a big difference between providing good customer service and being taken advantage of. BSmurf May 29, 17:37

yup, my assumption here is we're dealing with a positive customer {nm} Moviesnob May 29, 18:00

It's past the warranty. There's nothing you can really do. So I say go with B. Maybe 10% above your cost. {nm} skamanfu May 29, 14:13

this is definetly a fascinating question and one that i have dealt with over the past 15 years. rustyshackleford Jun 04, 21:08

The new format takes some getting used to, but all the pieces start falling into place once you get past all the character re-intro's Aquaman May 29, 07:13

Things start falling into place after episode 4. The new format is different, but things really pay off as scenes replay from a diff POV. {nm} skamanfu May 29, 14:14

got a tough one tonight against the Heat. hope the Pacers watched the tape from Sunday, that is what a superior lobogotti May 28, 11:33

You are correct sir, Pacers hit a train. The Heat will not be as efficient tonight but still a very tough game for ya'll. {nm} damenchipguy May 28, 13:58

man, what a LONG day and night. we've held the Heat to under 40% shooting on three of four games... that's crazy {nm} lobogotti May 28, 23:16

I think Snob picked up on the tension of our previous posts. Your post came off like a shot at me based on the "fickle" comments. lobogotti May 28, 11:21

There were thousands of Pacers Fans who wanted Frank Vogel tarred & feathered & ran out of town. RotoHockeyYTD2013 May 28, 13:57

appreciate it Snob. lobogotti May 28, 11:08

OUCH! Harsh indeed. I had to suffer through that beating. Wouldn't you say though that the Pacers have exceeded expectations so far? lobogotti May 28, 11:08

we're facing last years NBA champs, who was also in the finals the year before. a team that was 45-3 in their last 48 before this series. lobogotti May 28, 11:10

If we can take this six or seven, hell even have a chance to win I'll consider any of the above an accomplishment. lobogotti May 28, 11:11

Precisely. The ROTO assessment of Game 3 was that they got taken 'To School' - which they did. RotoHockeyYTD2013 May 28, 14:05

you're talking only about Game 3. how about the other three games where the Pacers have held the heat to under 40%? lobogotti May 28, 23:18

Knew that. The commentary was about Game 3. They got taken to school. Accurate Assessment. RotoHockeyYTD2013 May 29, 06:31
