    Promotional Gifting: Products and the Holidays
    While it is always a good idea to show your customer appreciation, the holidays are an important time to do so. Traditionally, the holiday season includes an abundance of gift giving and showing the important people just how valued they are to you. Smart companies plan ahead for this time of year and strate

    Leaving A Great Taste In The Mouth Of Your Customers

As there is nothing worse than WOWING the customer today, for them to return in a few days or weeks time only to be OWED as the level of service you gave them the first time su
    Is your company in a crisis? Not sure? Check out the list below to see if you need to take action now!

    Denial

    You have been warned that there are problems in the company. It doesn’t matter what kinds of problems there are—cash connected, poor collections, declining sales, increased defects if you’re a manufacturer, reports of terrible customer service, and on and on.

    Cash Problems
    The checkbook and company savings account (if there is one) are decreasing every month. Your internal accounting person is on you every day to do something. But there are so many fires, and so many incoming phone calls hounding you that you are virtually paralyzed.

    Somehow you and your team lost track of what business you’re in. It was clear when you began the company, and that continued for many years but you have to admit that today’s vision is really vague and hazy now and since your market has changed and the times have changed you’re lost.
    Customer Confusion
    As hard as it is to admit to this issue you acknowledge that no one in your company has any idea what your customers want and hope to get in the coming years. The sad, hard truth is that your marketing and sales people simply aren’t doing their jobs. Nobody in your company ever asks your customers what they want from your company. A simple question that most always will result in clear answers.
    No Strategic Planning
    You don’t have a business plan. There is no written strategic blueprint that offers a track for the company to run on. Why not? Usually the answers range from “no time to do one, who would do it, no one here is capable, we know what to do… writing a plan would just be a waste of time.”

    Loyalty is impressive and respected but if the wrong people inhabit your company you’re really in trouble. Speak to a well-qualified labor/employment attorney about steps you must take to remove people who are hurting you and the company.
