Comments on: MEN’s Interest?! SERIOUSLY???? https://www.bmichellepippin.com/mens-interest-seriously/ because business success is more strategy than secret Thu, 09 Jun 2011 00:59:26 +0000 hourly 1 By: Kristine Allcroft https://www.bmichellepippin.com/mens-interest-seriously/#comment-609 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 00:59:26 +0000 http://www.bmichellepippin.com/?p=1072#comment-609 I was in a conference meeting this morning with a CEO of a rather large company. He made the mistake of calling one of his corporate marketers a “girl.” I had to remind him that there were 3 other women business owners in the room and that it was bad form for him to use that word in reference to this person. So, I guess Barnes & Noble isn’t the only company with an “old boys network” attitude. It will be a nice change when these folks realize that women control more than 64% of the world’s economy. . . . it’s a shock, I know. But it is the truth!

Tom, thanks so much! I had no idea you got my newsletter and stuff! That means a lot! =) Love you too! Tell Donna we said HI – and we miss you both!

I know this was driving you nuts! And, quite frankly, I agree with you. If I were a woman, I would be offended by the obvious characterization they’re implying. I’m really surprised that the corporate marketing people at Barnes & Noble have let this one slip past them.

BTW, I don’t follow your blog and Facebook because just because I’m your friend. I also follow it because you’re a real smart lady, have a good business sense, great ideas, impecable ethics, and most important… you love God, your husband and family, and have everything prioritized correctly! I know your business is focused on women, but smart men would do well to follow your tips, too. Love ya, girl!

With the increasing numbers of women owning their own business and in the workforce–duh! Does anyone at B&N read some of the publications on their shelves to see what’s really happening in the world?
