Trader Joe’s Comes to Chapel Hill!
Posted by Mike Ferris on Saturday, December 29, 2007 and posted in Blogroll Home Health Care Hospice Sales Thoughts Uncategorized
The mystery is over! Where has Mike been with the blog posts???
He has been at Trader Joe’s! We now have our own TJs in Chapel Hill. (see photos below for proof)
As most of you know, Mike is a HUGE Trader Joe’s fan. The family has many favorite items only available at TJs. He used to have to buy things for the family while traveling. Or we would drive to Alexandria, VA (closest TJs until earlier this year) and then to Cary, NC (when they opened earlier this year).
Trader Joe’s should be on your list of places to shop, ESPECIALLY if you are in the sales position and need different, interesting, delicious and inexpensive things to take to your accounts.

The next step is to pick one or more blog postings and comment on it / them!
Simply click on the link below the post and add your thoughts, comments, experiences or ideas.
Here is my frustration, I have not been able to get you (or your home care or hospice colleagues to join in and post to the blog postings) to participate. We see the statistics of how many people view the blog postings, so we know that people are using the blog. What makes it really frustrating is that we seem to attract a ton of spam postings (subjects not appropriate for a G rated blog!). These have to be deleted before they reach you.
Help me out! Post your comments today!
Thank you for reading the blog!
To encourage you to post a comment (I know if you do it once, you will add more in the future), I will send you a link to order my best selling book - The Field Guide to Selling Home Care Services with Legendary Results or The Field Guide to Selling Hospice Services with Legendary Results and receive a second copy at no cost! You can select either book and receive two copies or select to receive one of each. You will receive an email with this special offer link in it after you post your comments.
Thanks, Mike

Chanukah or Hanukah?
Posted by Mike Ferris on Saturday, November 25, 2006 and posted in Sales Thoughts
The Spellings of Chanukah
There seems to be some confusion surrounding the actual spelling of Chanukah. Part of the reason for this confusion may be due to the fact there is no exact English translation of the Hebrew word for Chanukah. Here are a number of the different spellings one might encounter.
* Chanuka
* Chanukah
* Chanukkah
* Channukah
* Hanukah
* Hannukah
* Hanukkah
* Hanuka
* Hanukka
* Hanaka
* Haneka
* Hanika
* Khanukkah
While in the United States it is most common to use the spelling “CHANUKAH,” rest assured that they are all the same celebration.

Blogs, bloggers and the blogosphere…
Posted by Mike Ferris on Friday, October 13, 2006 and posted in Home Health Care Hospice Sales Thoughts
Everywhere I look there are more blogs every day. So, you say, why are you adding to the list? (Blog is short for Weblog)
My goal is to provide you, the Home Care and Hospice Sales Professional, with an easy to use personal tool that will aid you in being the best at your chosen profession. A resource that can provide a starting point for information you need to do your job.
Blogs are great because they can easily be updated at any time for any reason, reflecting news of the day, industry news, sales ideas, new information, seasonal or other news, in short, anything that I want to communicate to you. It is also a great way for you to ask the questions that are on your mind of myself, our experts and your fellow sales professionals.
So watch for more great information coming your way on this Blog each and every week.
Happy Selling!
Best,
Mike
