Business Management Case Study; Disgruntled Terminated Franchisees and a Moral Mission
Franchising executives need to be careful to hand terminated and disgruntled franchisees with special care because a franchisee who feels that they have been wronged or decides to act on revenge can cause a franchise system a whole lot of problems. Often they will start calling up State and Federal Regulatory Bodies and complaining about the company. Harassing current franchisees and bad mouthing the company in the industry are also extremely common.Why does this occur? Well, I have given this some thought over the years and it appears to be an innate

New City? New Resume?
How to Maximize Your Resume for RelocationMy resume client Matthew had just gotten the word that his wife was being offered a fantastic promotion to her company’s national headquarters in Chicago. Despite his misgivings about the icy cold winters in Chicago and that he was a Yankees fan (as opposed to a Cubs fan), he had to admit, the positive change in his wife’s salary and career would make it a no-brainer for them to make the big move.Now came the challenge… Matt would have to resign from his current position as a building supplies sales man

Experienced marketing researchers are well aware that questionnaire development is the key to obtaining interviewer-interviewee rapport. The greater the rapport, the more likely the interviewer will obtain a completed interview. Also, the respondent's answers will probably be more carefully thought out and detailed. Researcher wisdom has developed the following general guidelines concerning questionnaire flow.

Use the screener questions to identify qualified respondents. Most data acquisition processes today employ some variation of quota sampling. Only qualified respondents are interviewed and specific minimum numbers (quotas) of various types of qualified respondents may be desired. A study on food for instance, generally has quotas of users of specific brands, a magazine study screens for readers, a cosmetic study screens for brand awareness and so forth. Screeners are questions designed to identify appropriate respondents. Screeners may be on the questionnaire or, in many cases, a screening questionnaire is provided. In this instance, a screener is filled out for everyone interviewed. Thus, any demographics obtained provide a basis for comparison against people who qualify for a full study. A long screener can significantly increase the cost of the data acquisition process, since interviewers are gathering more information from

I Still Never Figured Out How Electric Motors Work!
It’s very easy to take the everyday electric motor for granted. Some may not even think much of it; they just know what it does. It may be small in your but it’s very intricate.

Using the Power of Client Testimonials to Grow Your Business
Client testimonials are one of the most powerful marketing tools coaches can use. Did you know that they can help you attract new clients, increase customer confidence and generate a positive “buzz” about you and your services? (Actually, those are just a few of their marketing uses.)Human nature gives testimonials such power because we love discovering what one person thinks of another – even when it’s positive! It’s the same dynamic that makes gossip so hard to resist. As a professional coach, you want the positive “gossip” that testimonials provi

Make Your Meetings More Productive - Move the Chairs
When you organise a meeting do you consider the room layout or do you just put chairs out the way you always do? Often, meetings are held in rooms where no consideration is given to layout – the tables and chairs were set out that way and so that’s the way the meetings are held!However, room layout has a powerful psychological influence on the progress of the meeting. It also helps contribute to the success of meetings.New psychological research reveals some of the important factors behind room layout and why the seating arrangement can make or

A long screener can significantly increase the cost of the data acquisition process, since interviewers are gathering more information from each respondent. Short screeners quickly eliminate unqualified people and eliminate unqualified people and enable the interviewer to move immediately to the next potential respondent. Most important, screeners provide a basis for estimating the costs of a survey.

After obtaining a qualified respondent, begin with a question that sparks a respondent's interest. After introductory comments and screens to find a qualified respondent, the initial questions should be simple, interesting and non-threatening. To open a questionnaire with an income or age question might be disastrous. These are considered threatening and immediately put the respondent on the defensive.

Ask general questions first. Once the interviewer proceeds beyond the opening warm-up questions, the questionnaire should proceed in a logical fashion. General questions are covered first to get the person thinking about a concept, company, or type of product and then to the specifics. For example, a data acquisition questionnaire on shampoo might begin with "Have you purchased a hair spray, hair condit
