Dealing With The Public-Not Always A Barrel Of Monkeys!
Dealing with the public is not easy! That’s a wide open statement if I might say so myself, so allow me to try to explain and I am smart enough to know full well that at times, I too”am” the public.For the past 37 years I have been self employed always servicing the public whether it was in my restaurant, my clothing store or my gift shop. There has to be a pill out there specifically designated to take prior to servicing the public. The public can be nice; they can be easy, they can be agreeable “but” not often. It seems to me that the more hectic our lives become, the older we get, the more we our frustrations out on those who service us, whether it be in the service industry, the retail industry or the poor guy just pumping our gas. As I am now in the insurance business, I deal with the public by way of telephone and face to face all day long, five days a week, 52 weeks a year, and Joe and Josephine public can be brutal! They come in all smiles nicey nicey

Offer new information if you find it. Steer them to resources that may help them flesh out the story. Assure them that you will be available for follow-ups, day or night.But they own the media outlet. Their job: creating the story as it will appear in their newspaper, magazine or over the airwaves.Unless you are authoring an article to appear under your own byline, don’t expect – or request – approval rights, an advance peek, or any changes.

How To Groom Your Customers For Bigger Profit
One day last week, I decided to work from the house since I had to head over to Rotary at noon. A little bit ago, a lady from the place where my wife gets her hair cut called to see if she was here. I told her she had left to go get her hair cut, then laughed and commented that my wife had indeed remembered the appointment this time.You see, the last few times she had a hair appointment there, something happened and she forgot to show up at the right time. Rather than continue to tolerate that behavior, the hair place invested 2 minutes of their time to call an hour before the appointment to remind her.Should they have to do that? Not really.Is it smart business? Absolutely.Why? Its your job as the business owners to groom your customers, train them and adjust their behavior as necessary.How? Make them an offer that makes them want to be on time, or set things up so that missing that appointment is something they simply cant tolerate, or
