Mind lending a hand?

11/12/2013 Mark Jacobsen Leave a comment

Thanks ahead of time to everyone who’s already taken a moment to help out, but if you haven’t had the chance yet I’d appreciate your assistance in giving me just a few clicks. Since one of the most important signals to search engines for “recommending” sites when you do a search is social media presence, I was hoping you might be willing to lend a hand by giving my company, Communication Freedom, a link little juice.

Just visit the various sites below and like, follow, or circle it from your account. Don’t worry, I won’t start sending you a bunch of spam 🙂

Productivity

Listening Twice as Fast!

09/25/2013 Mark Jacobsen Leave a comment

I have a few PodCasts I enjoy and have recently been enjoying our library’s audio book selection. The thing is it always seemed to take so long to get through everything and I don’t like feeling like I’m behind on things. Then, one of my favorite PodCasts (the Lifehacker PodCast) mentioned a feature on most PodCast listening apps to let you listen at 1.5 speed. Sure enough, I opened up my favorite PodCast player and there was the option. Not only did I try it out, I cranked it up to 2x speed and have done the same on my audio book app as well!

If you’re a fan of spoken word content, check it out!

Customer Service

Putting it on a shirt doesn’t make it true

09/16/2013 Mark Jacobsen Leave a comment

I’ve never been impressed with the help at our local Kroger which is probably why I’m always so glad when I do get someone that takes more than 4 seconds to assist and is actually pleasant.

Recently I’ve noticed that the new Kroger shirts all say, “our #1 goal. Highly satisfied customers”…

Sorry guys, but putting it on a shirt doesn’t make it true.
