One Of My Biggest Pet Peeves These Days Is Waiting In Line For Everything
It seems to me that everywhere we shop these days, or any service we require involves long waiting times. Stores used to hire enough clerks, cashiers, and service people to meet the needs of their customers. As a business person who understands how to calculate percentage ratios, this makes no sense to me.Mostly in business we set up our labor and many other business expenses based on sales figures. So if we consider larger stores doing revenues of $30,000-$

Your Recipe for Brand Success, Part II
We all know, some of us too well, what can happen when we do not set boundaries in our personal lives; does the term “door mat” ring any bells?I know that sounds harsh but I’d be lying if I didn’t say there was a time when I did not set proper boundaries in my personal relationships and it felt as though others were wiping their dirty boots with me and not loosing a wink of sleep over it! Can you relate?Failing to set solid boundaries in business, pa

Also known as the ‘wow' factor and ‘under promising and over delivering' on your customer service. Ok, so think back to a time when you purchased a product and came away feeling that you completely enjoyed the experience and would recommend their service to all of your associates and friends. Got it? Now think of a time when the service you received was poor and you would now do the reverse and recommend that non of your friends should use this business or service? Really think of that experience now.

So what was the core difference between the two experiences? Well you may have been let down by a poor quality product that just wasn't performing as recommended, but you will probably also notice that it wasn't the problem that you experienced with the product - it was more of how that problem was dealt with by their team.

There may also have been no product issue - it may have been that you have just been served by a team member that you perceived just didn't really care about your custom. This is known as perceived indifference, and it may have been down to just a few words or actions that have changed your complete perception of the business you were dealing with. This is down to consistency.

So which person, in your business, is responsible for marketing your business?

Whenever you carry out spontaneous acts of outstanding service, you'll keep that customer indefinitely and they'll become one of your best referral sources.

Remember, however, that spontaneous acts can be extremely positive or extremely negative. Spontaneous acts can create wow or kill a client relationship in an instant.

Client Killers:

1) Not ringing back when you promised

2) Promising something will be ready in five days when it takes seven

3) Being inattentive to client needs

4) Clients perceiving that you just don't care by your ‘attitude'

5) Forgetting or not listening to their requests

6) Forgetting their names

7) Letting your phone ring more than five rings and not answering

8) Having an automated multi choice telephone answering system (huge turn off)

Client ‘Wows':

1) Always Ringing back promptly
2) Promising something will be ready in seven days and doing it in five
3) Being ‘present' with clients at all times
4) Being congruent with your business vision and mission
5) Noting all clients requests and having a system to ensure they are acted upon

Generating Great Business Ideas
What sets apart a person who comes up with great ideas, seemingly effortlessly, from a person who breaks his head and just cannot seem to be struck by any ideas? Who knows how many factors are involved, creativity for one, but there is a factor you can control...Instead of sitting down and trying to ‘force’ good ideas to flow out of you, rather concentrate on grabbing onto great business ideas when they do strike. Ever thought of something only to forget it

Full service advertising agencies have the ultimate intention of influencing the purchasing behavior of consumers, in a way favorable to the advertiser. How do they achieve this end? The first requirement is that the advertisement should capture the attention of its audience. To achieve this, the advertisement has to provide the audience with information that is of interest to them. It may give them new information, or it may support the information they already have, or it may attempt to alter their existing views or beliefs.
