Discussions with Client

Before I start writing this, thanks to all my managers out here in Persistent who by their experience say few things which become a "Point to Remember" to me, for effective communication with Client-
Let me mention few I remember -

1. Take a note of even minutest of the discussion with your client or any party related to client.
2. Always mail these discussion details to all the parties involved i.e. your company's team, the client and related parties.
3. This mail should not show the discussion points as "warning mesages", meaning it should not sound "leagal" when read, though, it ofcourse could save you many leagal complications if it has to happen later on!
4. The mail, if possible, should mention the names of the person who has made a statement that you are mentioning with proper reasoning of the statement.

More to come you way, Keep reading!

How does a mouse work?

How does the small arrow on your computer monitor work when we move the mouse?

Haven't you ever wondered how it works?

Now, through the miracle of high technology, we can see how it is done.

With the aid of a screen-magnifying lens, the mechanism becomes apparent.

Click on the link below and you will find out.

The image may take a minute or two to download and when it appears,
slowly move your mouse over the light-gray circle,
and you will see how the magic works.

Lesson for the day

A new vacuum cleaner salesman knocked on the door on the first house of the street. A tall lady answered the door. Before she could speak, the enthusiastic salesman barged into the living room and opened a big black plastic bag and poured all the cow droppings onto the carpet.

" Madam, if I could not clean this up with the use of this new powerful vacuum cleaner, I will EAT all this s...!" exclaimed the eager salesman.

"Do you need chilli sauce or ketchup with that?" asked the lady.

The bewildered salesman asked, " Why, madam?"

"There's no electricity in the house..." said the lady

MORAL: Gather All resources before working on any project...!! ! :)

Self Appraisal

Another one from the collection of my good mails -

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits.

The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation: The boy asked, "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn? The woman replied, "I already have someone to cut my lawn.

Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now." replied boy. The woman responded that she was very satisfied with the person who was presently cutting her lawn.
The little boy found more perseverance and offered, "Lady, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach, Florida.Again the woman answered in the negative.

With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all, walked over to the boy and said, "Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job.

The little boy replied, "No thanks, I was just checking my performance with the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady, I was talking to!"
