Why Veg, or better yet, why Vegan?


Yeah, I don't know how many people go extreme like me to do this ... 

When Chris started mentoring for me and the business, he mentioned our products are great and delicious, but why Vegan? Why not vegetarian because there is a bigger population? 

I replied, because vegetarian (either lacto or ovo) still consumes from animals, might not be directly but the action still encourages the idea of profitable business for raising cattle for milk (and what to do with all the meat after milk is gone... there you go!) or for eggs (where to get all the eggs, all that many eggs??)  The answer is obvious. 

For someone to be able to say they are animal lover, the environmental conscious activist, or to have some sympathy, one shall never eat or use or touch anything that relates to animal cruelty, period.

Office Hours

Would you be interested in ecoVegan or myself's office hours?  Although I am nobody important, I would still be curious to know what people would like to know about ecoVegan!

The Art of CRM

The Art of CRM (Customer Relationship Management)


I must say, this tool is pretty powerful, if given the right way of usage, if it weren't so hard to understand.  Honestly, for someone not coming from business world, I had a hard time understanding the differences between 
- Prospect
- Lead
- Potential


Maybe I should and could wiki it; but reading is not my strength so instead I ask :p


- Prospect: (according to Wiki) marketing term for potential customers.. then what's the difference between that and potential? 
- Lead: (according to Wiki) identity of human or entity that's interested in purchasing.. then what's the difference between that and potential?
- Potential: (accordingly to Wiki) i could not find anything.. from my discussion with my colleague it is the actual stages that a prospect has been converted to a lead (meaning contacted and relationship established) and there is more than 0% chance they are interested. 


Honestly, if someone can explain further to me, I'd appreciate that!  Thank you =D
