British Airways is featuring our company in a competition they are offering  small business owners.

British Airways promotes small business

This ad (featuring me and my co-workers) is running in publications such as Inc, The Economist, Entrepreneur, Wired, The Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal Magazine – just to name(drop) a few. Not bad for someone who works with a bunch of dummies?

Speaking of stiffs and dummies – until you have a Face to Face meeting with someone you never really “know” who are are talking to on the other end of the phone – even if that phone is the Iphone 4 where you can see the person. Skype and email are great communication tools but sometimes you just need a face to face meeting with someone to move the relationship/partnership to another level.

And that is the point of the British Airways  promotion. They are offering 250 business owners the chance to win a free ticket anywhere that British Airways flies to have a face to face meeting with someone who could help them expand their business internationally. Or to use mannequin jargon – to help you get a leg up on the competition!  Three business owners will win 10 round trip tickets anywhere that British Airways flies – which is what we won last year.

So don’t be a stiff – get moving and apply right now – you too can soar. The contest deadline is Oct 21. Just click on the ad above to be taken to the page with the contest details (and see the cool video that they did on my husband and I and other 2009 winners.)
