Bad Strategy Deserves Bad Poetry

April 10, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

Bad Poetry Night on Successful Blog

If you’ve got some bring it over.

I’m watching more than one company do everything they can to tell their customer to go away. Too many companies leave today’s customer sitting alone, while they try to think up “strategies” that will bring them new ones.

S-T-R-A-T-E-G-I-Z-E

Finding Ideas Outside of the Box logo 2

They said the latest thing
and I came to realize
This company couldn’t strategize
They chased trends
like fireflies

Like kids loose in a candy store
they search every candy drawer
and shake every magic door
pinning hopes on that one big score

They’re on the corner preaching
to customers who don’t their need teaching

They see the world with tiny eyes
and let their wishes hypnotize
They can’t even spell strategize

No wonder they always talk about customers with fear.

Strategy in the hands of those who can’t spell it is even worse than a really bad poem.

    You can either wait for something to happen and see who it happens to….
    or you can make things happen and make ’em happen for you.

    Liz … you’re a poet and don’t know it 😉

    Yeah, isn’t it annoying having to deal with those pesky customers as we’re too busy thinking of how to get new ones!!!

    Hi Mike,
    You’re so right. You can be lucky or you can be smart.
    You don’t need luck when you can make things happen.
