So what's your small business marketing strategy? I'm willing to bet that close to 85% of the people reading this are scratching their heads now. Many small business owners fail to create a marketing strategy at all, instead focusing on tactics.Let me give you one of the definitions of strategy from the fine folks at Merriam Webster: a : a careful plan or method : a clever strategem b : the art of devising or employing plans or strategems toward a goalSo a strategy is a plan and the implementation of that plan. Tactics are merely the methods with which which you carry out that plan.Planning i

The benefits of feedback are obvious:
1. Consolidates the relationship
2. Lets you know where you're falling down
3. Opens up communication
4. Can be the catalyst to valuable testimonials
But Many Businesses Still Don't Do It
So, why do so many businesses fail to implement a proper customer feedback process?
Every business will have their unique reasons and on the face of it, most will be very rational. Here are three:
1. Time - it's hard, in the traditional format to arrange constant customer feedback as well as track it and take action.
2. What to Ask - Some questions may seem personal, while others may seem to say "tell me how good I am". Where's the balance?
3. Customer Response - not to the survey questions but to the survey itself. Just not knowing people's reactions might hinder the implementation process.
But what if you could get the feedback when you wanted it, automatically and have it collated so you can get an overall feel for how you're doing?
How priceless would that be?

The interview follow up letter can make or break your chances of becoming hired. For that reason it should become an essential part of your job hunting tool box, right in there with the other tools you use: resume, cover letter, thank you note, reference sheet and salary history.Think of the letter as a second chance. Some people don’t interview in person as well as they can write. Living up to the standards your resume set for you may be difficult. If that is the case, then the interview follow up letter will improve your appearance after the fact. Other people interview well in person, and are able

Are you unemployed or been laid off? You are not alone if that is any comfort to you. Worldwide millions of people are in the same predicament as you are. Unemployment and lay offs are stark realities of the downsizing, reengineering, restructuring, and automation in a sluggish global economy where corporations are trying every trick in the book to reduce costs, increase productivity and keep the organization lean, mean and profitable. Every one of us has gone through the phase of being unemployed once or more in our careers.What does one have to undergo during this period. Endless wait for phone call

If they miss by 2/100ths of a second, they get told. There's no apology or softening the blow.
That's what great business is about.
But How do You do This Quickly, Easily?
For those with assistants it may be easier but with any business there are simple and effective ways to get customer feedback. Some use checklists, others have it pre-prepared in the client file and hand it over or post it out at the same time every time.
One way I'm going to suggest is with an online survey.
Why Online?
To my way of thinking this is the best way to get client feedback today.
1. The population is increasingly "web aware" and are exploring the Web more and more.
2. An online survey (example below) is generally quick saving both you and your customer time.
3. Completing the survey privately will allow better responses. You can even have the responses go to a third party like a coach or a manager.
4. Inexpensive: this is a big one. Mail out surveys cost both time and money. Online surveys, once they are set up are done. All it needs is for clients to complete them.
Nothing Happens in a Vacuum
I can hear some people question the use of technology and how it might appear to be impersonal. I actually believe the opposite.
