Added for You - Is The Customer Always Right?
CRM is a process or methodology used to learn more about customers' needs and behaviors in order to develop stronger relationships. To enable organizations to serve customers better and more efficiently, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software is used.The strategy of using a successful CRM is usually implemented through a software package designed to support these processes. There are some major areas that the CRM software focuses on including service-automated processes, personal information gathering and processing and self-service. The software attempts to integrate and automate the various customer-serving processes within a company. Customer information is stored for future use by the system. The company aims to make cost savings and enroll new customers by providing the customer quick and efficient service, and also maintains a

1: Keep It ShortConsidering that initially HR personnel only spend approximately 10-20 seconds on a resume, the shorter your resume, the most desirable it is. Aim for one page.Of course, it is sometimes impossible to create such a short resume. You might have to include a second page because you have way too much information regarding your work experience, accomplishments, etc. In this case, make sure that you list the most relevant information within the upper half of the first page because that is the section that gets looked at first. This way, these important insights will surely be noticed.2: Spelling, Spelling, SpellingIt is not enough to run the word processor’s spell checker on your document. Proofread your resume at least 3 times, once backward (sometimes that is how you notice mistakes.)Remember, a sloppy
This is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever heard. If you take on this philosophy, from my experience, you will go broke let me explain …
One of the most common stories I hear bandied around the customer service industry, is the case of a Manager at Wal-Mart who had an irate customer who had bought a set of tires and was not happy with them. She went to Wal-Mart and abused the manager and told him the tires were no good and the Manager gave her a full refund. The point to this example was that Wal-Mart did not sell tyres and the manager went above and beyond the call of duty and gave her a full refund. But as far as I am concerned, he did not do the right thing, he should have politely informed the customer they did not sell tyres. Could you honestly imagine giving a refund for a product in which you did not sell. As a small business owner, you would go broke but…
So, many of the customer service gurus use that story as the shining light in the way that we should be serving our customers. To me, that is crazy to be pushing such a philosophy. I wrote this article because I felt it was important as a small business owner to share with you a few things I have learnt about balancing the needs of the customer to the needs of your business as a small business owner. But also, as a small business owner that believed in the philosophy of the Customer Is Always Right and how it almost sent me broke.
For years, I have been in small business and I had bent over backwards to accommodate my customers and I still do, but what I realised about 6 months ago, is that by not setting clear guidelines on how I was prepared to do business but also sticking to those guidelines, my business in the end was being dictated to by other companies. My company has done a lot of work with Government agencies and big business and many people who work in these organisations think they are high flyers and can railroad small business and many of them do.

"Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have." --Rabbi Hyman Judah Schachtel (1907-1990)I have to admit it, I love spoons. I love their round shape. I love their cheerful shine. I love how perfectly they fit into your mouth when you eat something smooth like ice cream or pudding or even when you eat something tummy warming like hot soup.I love spoons because they are functional as well as beautiful. Eating breakfast cereal just wouldn't be the same experience without them. I enjoy using them very much and always opt for a small, round, silvery spoon anytime it makes sense.One day, my husband came upon me silently admiring a beautiful sugar spoon from our new 'fancy' silverware collection. I was thrilled with how the bottom of it was artfully shaped like a sea shell. He thought I was nuts.I realiz
When I started picking up work from some of these organisations, I would get a call saying, we want your training but this is how we are going to do business. We only buy services on purchase orders and that is the only way we do business and we will pay you in 30 days or on the cheque cycle run (which might be 90 days). If you want our business you either accept our terms or we will go somewhere else.
Now as a small business owner and somebody who wants to grow their business, you think, excellent, okay, yes sir, no sir, we accept your terms. Then you do a fantastic job, on time, within budget, then it comes down to payment. On some of our work we had to wait six months to be paid. Now like most small businesses we work on credit and being so small we rely heavily on credit cards. But its this reliance that almost destroyed my business. We found that because some of our large clients did not pay us for six months, the interest from the credit card payments actually cost us more than the business in the first place.
One of the government agencies I worked for had a policy of putting 10 people on a purchase order for training, but their policy was that you did not get paid for any of the training until everybody on that purchase order had completed the training. In this particular case we had 2 people over a 12 month period change their course dates at least four times and in the end one person cancelled altogether. Now the training manager of this government agency had the audacity to tell me that they did not have to pay for any of the training because they had not finished the training. In the end, I realised for the first time, why many of my larger competitors ended up going broke. They simply were not getting paid and being railroaded. It was at this point I realised one i
