Two out of three ain’t bad for Lisa Lewis

While the Her­ald on Sun­day was fol­low­ing a fraud for their big story of the week­end the Sun­day News and Sun­day Star Times show that they are more social media savvy than their coun­ter­parts and have both writ­ten about the nom­i­na­tion of Lisa Lewis for the Veuve Clic­quot Busi­ness Woman of the Year Award.

I think both arti­cles are well writ­ten and the SST arti­cle even both­ered to look at the rea­sons behind the nom­i­na­tion which were con­tained on the nom­i­na­tion form. That is admirable report­ing from their perspective.

Jonathan Mar­shall resisted the urge to go tacky and has also writ­ten a nice piece with some very good quotes from Lisa Lewis as well.

“I was sur­prised that I had been nom­i­nated, but then upon say­ing that, with the way I con­duct busi­ness I am also left feel­ing finally appre­ci­ated. I am incred­i­bly hum­bled, priv­i­leged and excited to have been nominated.

“I feel that it is a val­i­da­tion to me and the pro­fes­sion that I am in,” Lewis said.

“I am an hon­est per­son – in fact one of the very few that uses my own name which con­firms how hon­est I really am in my business.”

Fan­tas­tic quote. In Lisa’s line of busi­ness there is no cheat­ing and lying and false adver­tis­ing, it is what it is and hon­esty and integrity are the best policy.

That is the point really. Annah Stret­ton who is a pre­vi­ous win­ner makes and sells clothes. Almost any­one can do that. Another win­ner Julie Christie makes real­ity TV shows about peo­ple like Lisa Lewis, how hard can that be? Her next show for good­ness sake is said to be “New Zealand’s Hottest Home Baker” Might I sug­gest that Lisa Lewis takes up bak­ing. The whole arti­cle looks like Julie Christie is mak­ing another bid for the award with her PR schmoozed arti­cle in the Sun­day Star Times. It all reads a bit like a press release and is a bit sad really. The SST only spiced it up with some com­ments from Char­lotte Daw­son and a men­tion of Julie’s alleged new rent-boy.

Lisa in stark con­trast is sell­ing a prod­uct most of soci­ety shuns or doesn’t under­stand in a very com­pet­i­tive mar­ket where many, many women even give it away for free. The fact that she gets top dol­lar and isn’t short of clients shows how savvy a busi­ness woman she really is.

Mean­while Lisa’s online sup­port­ers con­tinue to join the Face­book group sup­port­ing her. Now at 458 mem­bers. Let’s make this com­pe­ti­tion about real busi­ness women not one for multi-million dol­lar estab­lish­ment tossers.
