Please Trouble me Archive - Originally posted on "The Horse's Mouth" - 2009-02-16 13:03:26 - Graham Ellis
"I don't like to trouble you" ... so say the British, and the British delegates who come on our courses. It's something of a nationalistic trait (goodness - I hope it isn't that I'm an Ogre, though I understand they have hearts too). But I want people to trouble me! . Why?
Because I want to know what questions people are asking. Because that tells me what I should Blog about, and what I should add to our courses. And Because they questions help me learn and I am always learning!
I've just added a new page to our web site, and images like the one that's on the left of this article will appear soon on our course descriptions and other pages, soliciting questions about the courses ... and technical questions too. We're a customer service company - and we enjoy, and thrive, on providing what you're looking for - answers, courses, and hotel rooms. If you're a regular reader of this blog - or if this is your first time - why not say "Hi"? - just click on the image, and I look forward to hearing from you.
