Businesses Are Failing - Here Are Some Prime Examples Why!
Today, I took my wife to lunch. That in itself is hardly any news at all. However, what should have been a lovely celebration of something personal turned out to be pretty lousy. Here's what happened...We went to a local marina where there is a selection of restaurants. We strolled along the marina just to have a look at what was on offer. The first restaurant we wal

heir organizations that pass out their cell phone numbers and tell people not to hesitate to call them if there is a need. To me, that is pretty impressive. Let me say it again, If you are going to leave a message that says "I will call you back", then please call them back IN A TIMELY MANNER. If you do not, the message is.... "I do not care and you do not matter to me. Also, "Do not trust me...I lie about things." It would be far better to not have voice mail at all if you are going to KIL

Advertising Traps and Controlling Costs
For the small business person who knows they must advertise to bring in a steady stream of new clientele to grow their business they must be wise with their choices in advertising. A bad move can cost them thousands of dollars and yield lousy results.For instance advertising on Cable TV during election time, will generally get your ads in poor time slots plus it cost

There are many ways to show your customers that you care about them. Let me share one that tells your customers that YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEM. Remember, my friend, that in business it is sometimes the little things that begin to tear down the company that we have worked so hard to build. One of those little things is a real problem to me. I see it in almost every company and at almost every level. It is my belief that we do not realize the impact it has on people. In some small way it affects our "believability." What is it? It is the thing we can not do without. It's the telephone.

Whether you like it or not we live in the age of voice mail. There are some who wish they could return to the good old days and talk to a real live person again. There are others who really do not care one way or another. But... now to my soapbox!

If you are going to use voice mail, please return your calls and do so in a timely manner. I fear too many of us have begun using voice mail as our personal gatekeeper. "I do not want to talk to that person, so I'll just let voice mail handle it." Your customers deserve your responsive call. They want to talk to a live person and they need to know that you are there for them. If you promise to call back and do not, it affects your credibility and believability.

I have a friend who has an interesting voice mail. It goes something like this...."Hi, You have reached ______'s voice mail. I will not be calling you back so I do not care if you leave a message or not."

Now, this guy is a businessman. Frankly, I DO NOT CALL HIM ANYMORE! Personally, I think it is rude, and uncalled for. But that may just be me.

As a business owner, I personally believe that I want to be available 24/7. That is why I carry a "smart" phone with me. Many business people I know do NOT feel this way, and that is perfectly okay with me. However, if there is a problem or need from a client/customer, I want to be able to address it. And address it NOW! That call is a concern from a customer and it needs to be addressed.

I know some people pretty high up in their organizations that pass out their cell phone numbers and tell people not to hesitate to call them if there is a need. To me, that is pretty impressive.

Learn or Lose
Every new job has a learning curve. This is why quick learners are worth their weight in gold. One of the biggest costs of bringing on a new hire into a company is training. There is always a cost.
