Clarrisa: “In 2006 the town approached Pedal People and said we should put a bid into the town for trash collection in the down town strip for public receptacles. The Cooperative was able to hire 3 people almost overnight as a direct result of the contract. (Energized) “The town approached them about putting in a bid for the contract which was based on being physically out on the streets and being seen by people who happen to work and live in the town of Northampton. (No discussion of what the amount the contract was for between the town governance) “This Contract guaranteed employment for staff after establishing themselves in the area for the last 4 years. One contributing factor to this, Clarrisa later discussed.” Me: Can you describe how you built your client volume? Was it a progressive increase of customers or overnight success? …show more content…

He chronicles the business success story of Wenzday Jane who worked her way out of public housing and into a niche that has turned into a small business—Metro Pedal Power. Jane’s business is a delivery service for Boston and Cambridge MA. and the surrounding areas via cargo bicycles. Nesson’s purpose is to bring awareness to his audience that there are better alternative to the way society does various tasks in its day-to-day businesses that are less harmful to the environment. He does this by appealing to the eco-friendly, logical minded, and sentimental aspects of the viewer. He accomplishes this by showing a better way to deliver goods in a congested community, images of how the environment and community are better off with more approaches like the ones in this story, and finally with a heart-touching emotional story of how an underdog beats the olds.

The minutes of the meetings suggests that planners did not do enough to push for the initial proposals that are more evenly distributed. It is also interesting to notice the effect of council members and their vested interests in the regions they were represented. They are not characterized as professionals but when it comes to ethical issues and working towards common good there is no other body that has vested interests in community’s common good. When a political body itself takes decisions that are contrary to planners’ proposals it becomes bigger issue than ethics. But it is to be noted that the planners have to make the decisions objectively taking into consideration all the possible outcomes, in this case the effect on schools and education which they did fail.

Mr. Rankin is the person responsible for the technical implementation of a new customer relationship management software. The company he works for is having great success with initial sales across the country, but when it comes to repeat customers, it seems the numbers are lacking. This software, in theory, should increase the levels of follow-up service nation-wide.
