The other day I heard a colleague on the phone with a service provider. They had been working on a project that I know both sides of that phone call felt had been the definition of forever pulling teeth from a wild boar. It had been painful. In that final call, I heard my colleague thank the vendor and then he said something that caught me by surprise. He said, “You have been so patient and helpful through this whole project. I thank you so much for that and I am going to write up a testimonial right away and send it to you.” Now, if you are a small business owner, you know people might appreciate your work or what you have done for them, but you don’t often have...

Want more media coverage for your small business? One of the best ways is to become an expert. “Who me? An expert?” you ask. Yes, absolutely you! You started your own business because you felt you could do something well enough to make a living, right? Well, if you are good enough to provide a product or service to actual paying customers, you must know enough about it to be an expert. Take, for example, Sammie Bracken, owner of Mr. Electric of Central Indiana. He provided (expert) advice for the Just ask column in the February, 2012 Angie’s List magazine.
