with a $2,500 fine and an indefinite ban from all nascar events. wonder why she wouldn t be welcomed back. go figure. i wonder what he said to get that kind of reaction. thanks so much, betty. turning back to a serious topic, congressional debate on syria. joining me from our washington bureau, bob franken. thanks for being here. the senate foreign relations committee voted in favor of a resolution to strike syria. that gets the white house past their first hurdle. what do you think are the biggest obstacles moving forward? they have substantial objects quells. this is not your usual partisan kind of fight. you have republicans who are against this, you have a large null of democrats who are against this. ic ti think the question we ll come to, as distasteful as it may be, do you want to embarrass the president and embarrass united states by the lack of support around the world.do you president and embarrass united
take that existing data and use it to perform decision making going forward. if you look at the $6 customer, when you call them once, do they buy anything. when he call them twice, do you buy anything. if they re not, all the people in the future who buy $6 cleansers, you know thousand handle them. so really tracking metrics is incredibly important for customer service. use the data to inform your decision making. with the online media, to have customers have a good experience, spread the world. the way the world works today, word travels so fast. they send personalized notes, also. i know a lot of times i ll be shopping and i ll get a note from the person that helps me. oftentimes i just throw it out. it s interesting. ic ti think the business needs o understand the way customers want to be communicated with.
