    Scam Clients: Getting Paid for Services Rendered
    For those who sell services online, beware of the SCAM CLIENT. The biggest downside to working online is the fact that you have NO GUARANTEE that the other party is going to pay for services rendered. Even if you DO have a Service Agreement, it’s difficult to ensure that the information they’ve provided you with is authentic.Unfortunately, without the proper address, client n

  • If a customer isn’t expecting something and it isn’t there, he’s a contented customer, basically a non-event. When you start delivering the unexpected you CAN turn him into a “delighted” customer, if it is something he would value. The only direction is from contented (average, non-event) to a delighted customer.

    So, what is the bottom line.

    • You have to deliver the expected every time to even make the customer contented, and get a so-so, expected result.

      Can You Sell Your Business Without a Broker?
      Yes, you can sell your business yourself, but you have to do it the right way! As a professional business intermediary, I have many clients with quality businesses who come to me after failing to sell their businesses on their own. The flaw in their effort to sell always comes down to the same four basic things: no professional presentation of the business; poorly presented financial
      Most people think that “just turning up the effort” a bit is all that it takes to truly Delight a customer. They believe that customer satisfaction is a linear relationship, the more effort, the more you put into it the happier the customer. That just isn’t the case.

      There really is a couple of ways we can differentiate this. The differentiator:

      • Something the customer expects
      • Something the customer never expected, but values once he has it.

      First let’s look at something that a customer “expects.”

      • If he isn’t getting what he expects he’s unhappy. When he finally gets it, he’s contented, satisfied.
      • When a customer EXPECTS something you can only go from unsatisfied to satisfied, no higher.

      An example of that is when a customer expects something to work..

      • If it doesn’t work he’s VERY unhappy.
      • If it works but just not quite like he expected he may be not be as unhappy.
      • When it finally works to his expectation he is content. He isn’t delighted, a long way from it.

      Satisfied, or contented, can be defined as almost a non-event, unsatisfied a negative event. So, there is only one way to go….down, discontent.

      Now let’s look at an unexpected result for a customer.

      • If a customer isn’t expecting something he is content because he doesn’t miss it. It is a non-event.
      • Once you start delivering something unexpected, and valued, that becomes a VERY positive event, a delighted customer.

      An example of this might be that you delivered what he expected (a non-event, contented customer), but delivered it in half the time that others have before, that saved him money (now that’s a positive event, delighted customer). It was so much faster than anyone had ever delivered it, he wasn’t expecting it. He’s a very delighted customer.

      Of course, we MUST make absolutely sure that when we deliver the unexpected, that it satisfies a customer’s wants or needs, otherwise it wouldn’t be valued.

      Let’s restate that:

      • If a customer expects something, no matter how much effort you put into the result you can only turn a customer from unhappy into contented, or satisfied. Basically a non-event. He expects this from everyone, every time. You now become “average” as the best you can be.

          Once you “satisfy” the customer, more effort just doesn’t produce a higher level of satisfaction.

      • If a customer isn’t expecting something and it isn’t there, he’s a contented customer, basically a non-event.
