Recently, I decided to stop by a local donut shop for a cup of coffee. This donut shop is part of a large national chain with locations all over the country.

- It is close to my home - The coffee is fresh and always hot - and the prices are decent
Rule 1: Make your customer feel welcomed and appreciated
Upon walking in, I immediately noticed the first flagrant customer experience infraction: Lack of interest in the customer. You may be asking yourself how one can get the feeling that staff is disinterested in taking care of the customer. The answer to this is quite simple. When a customer walks into your place of business, they must almost immediately feel like someone is there to answer any questions or fulfill any request. In this particular instance, the staff behind the counter was chit chatting with another "off hours" employee that was strategically placed in front of the counter. Having three employees leaning on the counter, talking with another employee on the other side, gives the customer th

A pharmaceutical sales career is a very rewarding one. Not many other careers offer the same types of perks and benefits along with a fairly high paying job as pharmaceutical sales position. The role of helping well educated health professionals treat their patients better is special indeed. I've even had the pleasure of being introduced to actual patients by some of my doctors. These patients were prescribed on my drugs and the treatments made a big difference in their lives. This is just one of the many intangible benefits of the job. Here is some career information on pharmaceutical sales jobs and possible advancem

Why should I care where I get my printed material from, I'll just go for tenders and go with the low bidder. If you do this probably you won't be in business for long or you'll never really run a successful business. My company, Solutions Ink started from the premise that I don't just sell printed products but rather I help businesses grow and prosper. Being in the business for over 20 years I've seen how the industry and the market have changed. Gone are the days you could charge what you want and deliver any quality good's. With global competition so great, the product must be perfect and your price must be competitive
The best combatant against fears of interviewing properly has one simple answer – educating yourself on the proper techniques to answer any cringing questions that may trip you up during an interview. The other fact your mother was right about? Being yourself! Just how much of yourself should you be? Well, once again, educate yourself on the job at stake.

Rule 2: A professional attitude goes a long way
Once the staff noticed my presence, the crowd immediately dissipated and a cashier "graciously" gestured that I could come forward. No verbal greeting, or smile, or apology for a situation that was clearly unprofessional. The employee simply looked in my direction with a blank stare, waiting for my order. I ordered my cup of coffee and my donut. As she was preparing my coffee at the other end of the counter, she yelled back at me to find out what I wanted in my coffee, and thus forcing me to yell back "two milks please". The following words out of her mouth were to tell my how much the order came to.
Communication with a customer should be viewed as a transaction. The problem with many establishments is the incorrect perceptions that this transaction strictly moneta
