Casual Articles - How To Save Your Marriage-Or Here's How to Learn to Put the Toilet Seat Down
Job promotions are not something that happens all of a sudden. Getting promoted is not only about your growth but it is equally proportional to the benefits an organization expects you to deliver for them. In short to expect a promotion one has to prove his abilities and capability as an individual or in other words be an efficient employee.In order to achieve the status of an efficient employee one must keep the following things in mind:· Ensure that you do your job well within the time and at desired quality levels. Meeting deadlines is one factor that determines you are capable and shows your competence for the role.· Master your job: make sure you know the current job you are on as well as the back of your hand.

You may have an ad that’s barely holding it’s own and not even know it. But there is a simple test. Make a copy and ask for feedback from employees, friends, relatives and total strangers. In fact, the last group is best because they will be the most honest. If you have a store, it’s pretty easy. Post the ad at the front counter and ask your customers to fill out a form explaining you need to find out what they would change in the ad in exchange for 10% off their next purchase. Therefore, assuming they gave their response, you now know that everyone hates your headline. So what do you do?First, realize why they disliked it. Did you just put your name out there, big and bold? Shame on you. Unless you’re Wal-Mart or Microsoft, how impo
George Foerst, Lighthouse Point, Florida inventor, was listening to a friend complain that her partner always forgot to put the seat and lid down after using the toilet. This ‘primordial act’ was perceived to be so irritating, this guy was going to be shown the communal door. George figured he could solve this, having himself lived on a boat at one time, having to use a marine toilet. He knew full well that his answer to this perennial problem might create a market for boats and their marine toilets, too. He invented the Toilet Lid Alert, a unique, patent-pending device that is affixed to the underside of the toilet lid. It makes sure you ‘remember’ to put the seat and lid down after use. To ensure this happens, George designed a way to remind you with sound: either the pre-recorded alert, as it comes from the factory; or the one you can record creating your very own customized message. Most folks would have stopped there, but not George. This is where the real marketer comes in. He continued to talk with people and do more research on this “problem” caused by ‘unevolved males’. He studied the history of the toilet and uncovered a few more needs that he could fulfill.He discovered that the TLA could be used by mothers toilet training girls and boys. It would help prevent an accidental drowning of toddlers; if/when left unattended in a bathroom with the seat and lid up (the statistics are horrifying).

Good marketing positioning is like good lying. No, we’re not suggesting that you lie when creating your company and product positioning. Anything but, in fact. But, it’s remarkable how much the properties of good positioning resemble the properties of a good lie.Like an effective lie, an effective positioning statement should be:1. Believable. A lie that no one believes is rather pointless, isn’t it? Well, the same is true of your company or product’s positioning. If it’s not believable, then it’s useless. Ensure that the key elements of your positioning statement are rooted in truth, and that the assertions that you’re making about your company’s or product’s capabilities will pass the sniff test of a jaded observer wh

When I am referred to the customer service department of a large company I let out a big groan. The dreaded customer service department is often a clearing house for questions and complaints. This is a typical telephone conversation I have had with a one of these departments:Ring Ring. Recorded message: "We are sorry but all our representatives are busy right now. You are held in a queue...." you know the rest. Mozart Jupiter Symphony. The "held in queue" message and Mozart cycle many times as 2 minutes pass, then 3, 4 until, after 6 minutes a female voice says:"Thank you for calling customer service. What is you customer number?". Now what kind of state will a typical caller be in at this point in time? I mean what are c

One of the lessons that are learned from the leaders in customer service is that employees who are empowered to make decisions on behalf of their customers provide the best service. This is reflected repeatedly by the companies with reputations for the best in service, but still practiced by too few.The companies that have a “mystique” around their customer service reputations have empowered their employees to think “outside the box” when it comes to taking care of their customers. They combine a belief with their commitment to customer service with trust in the employees’ judgment and the results are quicker customer resolutions to problems. There are numerous reasons that empowered employees lead to better customer service. Her

Can you recall ever working in a situation that you'd describe today as the "job from hell"? If so, even if you knew how to do the job well, you'd probably say that you lacked the essentials for getting your work done.Many people suffer silently while they're really missing the authority, training, tools, job support, guidance, resources, information, or incentives to be effective. On top of these problems, people may encounter other road blocks to getting things done. Their hurdles might include tangled communications, non-supportive managers, a lack of cooperation, unavailable colleagues, and cumbersome procedures.When people experience these situations, they're struggling with what I refer to as "burning hassles." Companies
Additionally, he learned from pet owners that the fear of drowning is ever-present whenever the lid is not down. Additionally, dog owners explained that taller, lanky canines like to take a cold drink from the bowl, and then give their owners a big ‘ol juicy “kiss.” (Even more dangerous, I have read about toilet bowl cleaners in tablet form that you put in the toilet tank. The instructions warn that these tablets are extremely poisonous and may cause fatalities if ingested.)George took a prototype of his invention to several trade shows. Many different individuals and groups, representative of different potential TLA uses, (e.g. sports teams, pets, potty-training etc.) wanted the rights for this device to sell in their own niche markets. Many wanted to sell special Toilet Lid Alerts that were made in their sports team colors and were capable of playing the (football) ‘fight song’ until the lid was put in the down position. (One baseball-oriented group wanted the lid to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”) Others were interested in the pet market; particularly those who owned ferrets. George was astounded to learn that next to dogs and cats, ferrets are the next largest group of domestic residential pets in America. It is estimated there might be up to 25 million of them in houses and apartments. These lovable, fuzzy critters are very inquisitive. They get into loads of trouble, including drowning in carelessly uncovered toilet bowls.(If you would like to see a brief video of just what this little invention looks and sounds like, click on the live link found in t
