Actual for You - Adversity at the Barber Shop - What Customer Service is NOT!
"To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity." - Douglas AdamsThe sincerity and integrity mentioned in the above quote often leads to trust. Trust turns a prospect into a customer. For home-based businesses the customer is the lifeblood of the economic fuel that runs your business.You can have the hull of a business, but without the fuel of customer support you’re just a nice looking ship bobbing in the harbor. Without customers you aren’t going anywhere."People who concentrate on giving good service always get more personal satisfaction as well as better business." - Patricia FrippThe development of a customer base is an important pre-business start-up plan. Do extensive

TV commercials are without a doubt, the most popular and effective of all mass media advertising forms. Coupled with all kinds of marketing techniques such as catchy jingles and melodies, animation, special effects, as well as injecting humor, makes TV advertising a powerful marketing tool. Testament to this is the existence of the cutthroat commercials industry and exorbitant advertising fees companies are willing to splurge to convince millions of viewers to buy their products. Think of a 30-second spot during the annual Super bowl that can cost about 2.5 million dollars. This has come a long way from the very first TV commercial aired in July 1941, when Bulova Watch Company paid WNBT a trifle US $9.Most TV ads run from a few seconds to a several minutes, including program
The other day I decided to check out this place for the first time since it was just down the road from my home. I had been meaning to visit it for some quite time and finally had the chance to stop in. If I liked this barber, I could end up being a regular customer for it was much more convenient to go his place than to drive so far out of the way for a haircut.
Parking directly in front of the red, white and blue barber pole, I walked up to the door and poked my head in to ask how much he charged and whether credit cards were accepted. My plan was to go to the ATM machine if necessary.

What a fascinating time we live in; hundreds of new products enter the marketplace every day. More books are published each year than used to be published in entire decades. We have access to a seemingly endless availability of news, television and radio stations, communication devices, and information.This onslaught leaves marketers with what some see as an almost insurmountable task -- developing effective ways to break through the deluge of information and have their messages resonate with their target audiences. I, however, see this as an incredible opportunity. Since accomplishing this feat has become more difficult over the years, many companies do not bother to market as required by today's environment, or worse yet, they do not market at all. What better opportunity

The quickest and most cost-effective way to hire new staff is of course through referrals from your employees.As most large businesses are moving towards trying to cut the cost of recruitment while still trying to identify new people, they typically have some kind of incentive scheme to encourage existing staff to refer friends as potential recruits.In return, the member of staff is given a cash reward for the referral as a ‘bounty’ for finding the person if they join. Many of the large businesses I have worked with in fact pay quite sizeable amounts to their people, up to thousands of pounds.The costs of the reward far outweigh the huge costs of using recruitment agencies or advertising. And as I have said before, referred candidates are almost guaranteed to b

I generally shy away from using the word “networking” when it comes to our business. As professional “headhunters”, we are constantly practicing and performing the art of networking in our daily operations. Many only consider the subject of networking when they are either seeking a new job or seeking new business opportunities. From our perspective, networking should be a daily event in your life. Networking is the art of building relationships that create benefit for yourself. Here are three tips to becoming a top notch “networker”.1. Develop an “Elevator Speech”: The theory goes that if you were to get into an elevator with a key decision maker and they asked you what you did, you should be able to respond in a concise and articulate statement that would conclude before y

Twenty minutes later, I was back. He was already working with another customer so I found myself a seat in the "waiting room" and leafed through day-old newspapers and ancient magazines. In between pages, I quietly made some observations. I watched how the barber was interacting with the customer, the manner in which he was cutting hair and the way he handled himself. Although nothing appeared out of the ordinary, something told me to leave and go elsewhere.
But I don't have any reason to, I silently protested.
It's not too often that I ignore my intuition but I did on that day and now I wish I hadn't.
Climbing into the chair, I told him that I was deaf, something I customarily
