		<description>Good advice.  The podcast I run has always been for the listeners first and I&#039;ve always considered it as a listener myself.  From that perspective the boundaries between customers and businesses, between listeners and producers can become very blurred.  It&#039;s a good thing.

I&#039;ve had listeners produce whole podcasts for me, including Juliette Prouse who interviewed George Torok who I guess some of your Canadian readers will know.

What with open source, crowd sourcing, user generated content, the world of web 2.0 including blogging and podcasting, is leading business into an unprecedented era of engagement with customers.</description>

		<description>Rajan,
We have taken a similar approach to generating word of mouth at our blog.  We highlight our customers (and non-customers) and show their experiences.  We have coupled that effort with an email that goes to all of our customers featuring the &#039;story of the week.&#039;  The featured customer also gets a seperate email congratulating them on being featured and providing an easy way for them to forward it on to others.</description>

		<description>Another great post! I think it&#039;s a great idea for businesses to empower their customers to talk about their experiences and spread the word of mouth to their friends and colleagues.

I wrote an entry in my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.evancarmichael.com/selling-to-small-business/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Selling to Small Business&lt;/a&gt; blog about your post and linked back: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.evancarmichael.com/selling-to-small-business/2007/03/get-your-customers-talking-about-you.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.evancarmichael.com/selling-to-small-business/2007/03/get-your-customers-talking-about-you.html&lt;/a&gt;

Keep up the great work!
