Customer service is an integral part of our job and should not be seen as an extension of it. A company’s most vital asset is its customers. Without them, we would not and could not exist in business. When you satisfy our customers, they not only help us grow by continuing to do business with you, but recommend you to friends and associates.The practice of customer service should be as present on the show floor as it is in any other sales environment.The Ten Commandments of Customer Service1. Know who is boss. You are in business to service customer needs, and you can only do that if you know what it is your customers want. When you truly listen to your customers, they let you know what they want and how you can provide good service. Never for

Businesses and individuals both desire to safely and effectively destroy sensitive documents.While individuals can rely on small paper shredders to effectively destroy credit card statements and bank paperwork, larger corporations need something more heavy duty.Corporate paper shredders are often associated with hiding fraud or other illegal activities.

1. The product and service to offer your customers.
2. How you will make your products available to your customers.
3. How you will communicate the benefits of your products and persuade customers to buy them.
4. The price that you will charge your customers.
This is called the marketing mix. It consists of everything you can do to influence the demand for your products or service. Every entrepreneur must develop his own marketing strategy on the basis of these four elements.
1. PRODUCT/ SERVICE
2. PROMOTION
3. PLACE
4. PRICE
The entrepreneur has control over the marketing mix and can vary it to suit the needs of his customers and the resources of his business. Customers are continually matching their need with the products offered by your competitors. You know your target market and their needs and from analysing your competitors you can identify what they offer the consumer through the marketing mix. This determines what your marketing mix and your competitive advantage will be. All of the marketing mix elements must reinforce the image of the product or service that the business portrays to the potential customer.

My mother has Alzheimer’s. She’s been in a nursing facility since February of 2005, and she’s more or less bed ridden. One of the many negative effects of Alzheimer’s is rapid memory loss to the point family members’ names are forgotten and some members get forgotten altogether. Another symptom is life regression—that is where the person mentally and emotionally backtracks from their current age back to birth. The average person afflicted with Alzheimer’s has a life expectancy of roughly seven years from the time of initial diagnosis. Luckily, our family still has some time to share with mom, but the inevitable is always looming. It’s truly a gut-wrenching experience for both the patient and loved ones. If I were to guess as to where my mom

Sales people will occasionally make the mistake of assuming that the responsibility for the conversation with the prospect or customer rests solely with them and so they therefore become very uncomfortable with silences or pauses in the discussion. Still other sales people are fearful to stop talking because they worry that in the absence of their continuous chatter, the prospect will do one of three things:1. Ask a question they are unprepared to answer or do not know how to respond to on the spot. The salesperson worries that they will seem less competent if this should happen, and is therefore to be avoided at all costs. In certain sales people, this worry is so great, that they will make up answers to question they do not know the correct answer to i

The benefits immigration has historically provided to the America economy and lifestyle has been thoroughly documented. The waves of Irish, Italian, and eastern European’s that swamped Ellis Island during the 19th century brought little more than hope and the drive to discover an opportunity to pursue a better life in the New World. They were ravaged by the historic poverty in their homelands, hungry, illiterate in many cases and did not speak English. And yet, despite these daunting obstacles, these immigrant masses were the forerunner of the diaspora that continues to this day and from which the United States has enjoyed immeasurable benefits.Many contemporary Americans have knowledge of family histories that detail the struggles of their first generation

A trade mark is used to distinguish a product or service from similar competitive products. Trade marks facilitate the identification of products at the point of sale and ensure the customer of a uniform quality product. Product sale also relies heavily on a good trade name, consumers usually associate a quality product with a quality name. Selecting a good trade name needs to be based on a few simple guidelines. It may tell something about the product (Rent-a-Car), try to keep it as simple as possible spelt and remembered easily (Ford), it may indicate high quality (Exclusive Cars), it could indicate a personal name (Johnnie Walker), it may also be a foreign name ( Nestle, Lux).
Trade marks facilitate product diversification. A new product can be added with ease to a known product line as compared with one which has no trade mark. Packaging your product is an important aspect for most products. A well designed, attractive package can help catch the customers eye and boost sales. Product packaging is important to the consumer, especially tamper proof packaging, protection, storing and physical handling
