Added for You - Increase in Customer Sales = Increase in Customer Service
You say you want a new career, you say you want to start your own business, you say you'd love to be a freelance writer and travel more but are you serious? Can I really believe you? Are you investing in your dream?When you want something badly enough, you're willing to work hard, make sacrifices, and invest in your dream.Most people who've made a career change didn't have lots of money from which to draw. They simply made the choice to find the money they needed to make the change they always dreamed of making!To see if you are willing to do what it takes to do work you love, follow these steps:1. Ask yourself the following, "Am I willing to invest what I have in my dream job? Am I willing to change how I currently spend money so that I may have more of it to put toward my transition?" Yes or No? If you answered "no" to these, you’re not ready to move ahead with a career change. Give yourself a break and foc

"To have respect for ourselves guides our morals; and to have a deference for others governs our manners." Lawrence Sterne, Irish novelist & satirist (1713 - 1768)Etiquette, or good manners, is an important part of our day to day lives. Whether we realise it or not we are always subconsciously adhering to rules of etiquette. Much of the time these are unwritten; for example giving up your seat to a lady or elderly person, queuing for a bus in an orderly fashion according to who arrived first or simply saying “please” or “thank you”. All are examples of etiquette; complex unwritten rules that reflect a culture’s values.Etiquette accomplishes many tasks. However, the one noteworthy function that etiquette does perform is that it shows respect and deference to another. By doing so it maintains good interpersonal relationships. Ultimately, it could be argued, etiquette is about making sure that when people mix together there are rules of interaction in place th

“I’ve got tons of visitors but nobody seems to be buying anything? What gives?”
FISHNETS WITH HOLES? ANYONE?
Getting traffic is not the be all and end all of a successful online business. It requires skills, specific online marketing strategies designed for your site and a robust customer service strategy.
So what if you have thousands of visitors per day! That does’nt amount to success, unless you close at least 5 to 10% of those visitors.
You see, when you get a lot of traffic from your advertising and marketing activities and nobody there to guide them, is like hauling a big fishing net in the water with a major flaw…..it has a sizeable hole in the middle. So you can say goodbye to eating fish…for now, at least.
Would you go and pick up items on display from a store that does not offer the least bit assurance of somebody manning it? Sure! Sure, we’re on the work smart, work less attitude but hey, humans prefer humans, and they most certainly will buy from somebody they’ve talked to before. You see, they need to feel some warmth and yes, especially on the internet where items are passed on in “cold” or “digital” means.
DOING THE BOTTOMLINE
It’s good that you have some or a lot of visitors to your website, but the bottomline is that you should have the best customer service and a lot of options for them to contact you, the soonest. The more the better!
Look around you. Take a look at the most popular sites on the net or even your favorite newsletter, they all have one common factor, customer service availability.
The most common or popular customer service strategy is through a form-to-mail which prohibits anybody from spamming your email account rather than having them email you directly, well unless you have a very good email filter software.
But you can offer them additional ways to contact you such as these options below.
PROVIDE MANY OPTIONS FOR CONTACT
Online business is a contact sport. You want to close more sales? Then increase your customer service availability and options.
Providing them with a lot of options would mean that you are always ready to receive their inquiries, or issues with a welcoming smile. It would make you more credible. It would create a halo of success to your already plumed hat.
Let us take a look at some of the free ways for you to interact with your website visitors:

There are a variety of ways for consultants to price their services. This is a quick summary of various methods with explanations, pros and cons. How do you price your services?HourlyIt is common for many consultants to charge hourly for their services. This may be due to habit -- you were likely paid hourly as an employee. It also easier to come up with a specific dollar number for each hour that you work.DailySome consultants will skip the hourly fees and simply charge on a daily basis instead. There is even an entire formula designed to help you figure out what should be charged in order to meet your income and personal goals.Task BasisSome consultants will break the project into tasks and charge for each of those. A web designer may charge $50 per created web page, $75 for each custom graphic and so on. Programmers sometimes do this as well. Quotes are given to the client in either itemized task format or complete project for

After being in this industry for over 12 years I've learned a lot about people and about myself. One of the most important things that has happened for me is self development. Folks this IS the ONE thing that HAS to happen before you will become successful in anything you attempt to do.You must first build yourself and your own talents! When this happens you all of a sudden develop posture. What is posture? It's when you have so much confidence in yourself and what you're doing that you begin to look for talented people to join with you in your business and you're not afraid to talk to the most successful and talented people you run into.You become a talent scout vs. a recruiter. When I first started out in this business I was a recruiter. Everyone I saw or ran into was a prospect. No matter who they were or what sort of attitude they had I was determined to RECRUIT every single person that I saw or talked to.Well folks this was a disaster but it was

With the infinite amounts of information being passed on the internet today, credit card frauds are happening in the information superhighway at an alarming rate. Though a lot of financial information attained for the use of credit card fraud are from the internet through means of phishing, a common and overlooked area of obtaining critical financial information is from within a company. Most businesses handle sensitive information. This may range from social security numbers, credit card information, drivers license information and other types of personal information. In order to safeguard and assure clients and customers that their information is being handled properly, it is the responsibility of the business owner to take the necessary steps in getting a thorough background checks on all their employees. Obtaining personal or professional references alone is not to be depended on solely.It is only obvious that the prospective candidate for employment to only

There is a general belief that getting people to change their behaviour is difficult and takes a long time. I can understand this belief when there are so many examples of change taking a long time. Yet I am aware that we like to defend our beliefs and look for evidence to support them. We know that whatever we believe we will seek to make true. TV debating programmes are based upon this principle and it’s what causes so many arguments between people and groups.So what stops people from changing quickly and easily? Is it their deep in-grained habits, or is it their beliefs? Or is it a mix of the two?"What you become directly influences what you get."Jim RohnIt is clear that habits are very easy to repeat because the programme responsible for them is located in the unconscious part of the mind over which we seem to have little control. Yet over the years I have experienced rapid change in many individuals, and in mysel
