No Survey for you!

15 Mar

Some posts just write themselves. I had joined the Virgin Mobile Customer Pulse team because I am a satisfied customer that is using their MiFi device on a daily basis.  I also figured that there may be an opportunity to write at least one or two informational blog posts from being on the forum.

Well, I was half right, so farewell Customer Pulse!

If it can go wrong, it will go wrong so when it does go wrong you need to have a plan in place to make sure that the situation does not take out your project or the business.
