Actual for You - Hey, Billy Goat Gruff! Are Ya' Sayin' What Yur Sayin'?
Procurement refers to the acquisition of goods or commodities by an individual, organization, company, or institution. Most companies have a procurement process in place on a contractual basis. The majority of these contracts specify the lease and time for which these companies will work for a particular client. They are a great assistance to associations that cannot set up their own e-procurement services without delay.A procurement contract is suitable when the primary intention of the transaction is the acquisition of goods or services for the direct benefit or use of the federal government or any buyer. A procurement contract is a jo

I called a support number the other day—I got the message! A recorded female voice said that I must call during a certain time period and "goodby."
My first impression was: My this lady hates working for a living—and me!
Then I thought: She can't be that bad—just not properly trained.
Maybe she should listen to the telephone message systems of big corporations:
"Thank you for calling Big Corporation. Your call is very important to us. If you speak English, press one. Si usted habla espa?ol, toca dos"
This may go on for French, Italian, German, Japanese and Chinese. In fact, you could swim to China by the time you get to a live person. But still, your call is important to them so you sit there listening to music you hate, waiting, waiting…
I Called the Lady Back to See What She Was Really Like
Finally, I got the person who made the recording. Her name was Mildred. She was 75 years old and as sweet as a President Reagan Jelly Belly®.
Mildred was not a rude person that intentionally turns customers away. Yet I'm sure that some get her telephone message and never call back. I'm sure that some drop their affiliation with the company.
The problem was not with Mildred, but with the message. She gave the facts about the hours and the fax machine, but she didn't say it like the "Big Boys." She could have said:
Thank you for calling. Your call is very important to us. However, we offer telephone service only between 1.00 AM and 3:00 PM Pacific Time. Please call back during our telephone hours. Thanks again for calling!
Up Thar' in Canada
We were camping north of Montreal years ago when the owner of the camp said that we had parked our camper in the wrong spot during the night. He was, as they say, rude, crude, and unattractive.
What did we do? We packed up, drove to the office,, paid the bill, and moved to another camp. He lost a week's rent because of his rude behavior, and we easily found another camp that actually had numbers on the camping sites.
Forgiven Them For They Know Not What They Do
Here, I'm talking about perfectly innocent working people who don't realize that when dealing with the public (your customers), they come over as being rude, short (curt), even obnoxious. Haven't you noticed that some employees even avoid customers?
On the Jerry Seinfeld Show, the character Kramer shows obnoxious behavior. Typical is his entry into Jerry's apartment, barging in without knocking and going straight to the refrigerator. Would you buy a used car from Kramer? At times he drives me away from the show.
George and Elaine are also misfits—people who you wouldn't want to associate with other than at a beer bust in the park. Would you buy a used car from George when he's talking out of the side of his mouth? What about from Elaine when she's playing her silly mind games?
Newman, the mailman, is just dumb. Would you like to deal with him?
Jerry's role is of a person that is different from many people, but he typically is polite, tries to reason, and is often effective in dealing with people—Need a Porsche?
Training Is Needed
Everyone in the company who deals with the customers should be trained:
How to smile and greet people.
How to talk to people and satisfy their needs.
Technical aspects of their job and company products and services.
Businesses attract all kinds of creatures. We need to select the people who will interface with our customers based on their ability to cooperate and get along with people in a pleasant manner.
They are the face of our company. Do they look friendly?
Training will help. Even simple role playing can be effective in helping our employees learn to interact properly with our customers—and they should know their stuff—or at the least be able to get the customer to the person with the correct information fast.
But even after training, there may be some who should be relegated to other company activities and not allowed to come near any customer whatsoever.
And don't forget to look in the mirror!

So many people get out of bed each morning and go to a job that they do not like, make a small income that does not allow them to provide for their families the way they want to and the new year is the perfect time to resolve to make 2006 the year you raise your standards.In the past, I’ve worked 90+ hour a week as a restaurant franchise owner to make the same and less income. Coastal Vacations is the best decision I ever made. I would never be able to spend quality time with my family if I had not raised my standards and joined Coastal Vacations. I can typically be found sawing logs at 6AM when most people are getting on their way to wo

What to do if. . . You Find Money: If it's a few cents, put it on the nearest desk or table. If it's $5, $10 or more, put it in an envelope (if possible) with a note as to where it was found and leave it on the Receptionist desk. You Break Something: First clean it up, and then leave a note. ("I accidentally broke the _____ while dusting. Please call XYZ Company at 555-0123 so we can replace it,") . Then call your supervisor so they know what happened. If you own up to it right away, often-times people say "Oh, don't worry about it". Plus, they appreciate your honesty. You Ge

Total employment in the American furniture industry (household and office segments) stood at 557,000 persons in 2006. Employment in all of manufacturing totaled 14.2 million persons. Thus, the furniture industry accounts for only 3.9% of the manufacturing total, and only 0.4% of the 137 million people in total with jobs in the United States in 2006.During the past two decades and up to the beginning of this century, furniture employment has been on the rise, a claim that cannot be made by manufacturers in general. However, starting in 2001, furniture employment entered a declining phase. Between 1996 and 2006, the level of furniture indu
