		<description>Talking to customers is important, especially for a web start-up. But another thing that it important is where, when and how you talk to your customers. I recently came across a very interesting video of ex Salesforce exec. speaking about customer relations: &lt;a href=&quot;http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?mid=1667&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo....&lt;/a&gt;. Very thought provoking. If you are in a web business it&#039;s especially important to let your customers know that you&#039;re a real person (not an automated messaging machine) and that you care about their needs.</description>
