No, not my two front teeth.  I want a few well thought out gifts.

#1.   A Search engine optimization program that really funnels clients to local businesses that actually are near the client.  I realize that the yellow pages have listings, but you have to pay to get listed, and the money is pretty tight in this economy.  Why can’t the search engines read the IP address of the computer that is being used, and search sites that are within the zip code or the same metropolitan area as the user?  That way the user can find local services or shops that actually specialize in what they want.  Further, the search will not consist of  businesses that are on the other side of the country.  I have had 3 requests for insurance quotes from people across the nation, and I can only write in Arizona.  Wouldn’t that be great for all involved?

#2.    An E-mail directory or repository that is like the phone book.  How many times have you been trying to contact a customer, only to find their telephone number is disconnected.  How many times have you wanted to send a message to a client, but your client files are at the office and you are in your PJ’s in your kitchen working because you can’t sleep.  Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to look up your client’s e-mail address and send them a note?

I realize many people use fake emails for personal or nefarious reasons, but many have had the same email for years.   I would love to be able to utilize a program that I can look up the client’s name and city and find their email.

#3.  A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for all of you.
