Feedback is the Breakfast of Champions
Do you encourage customer feedback with hotlines, focus groups and in-depth customer surveys?One car manufacturer was exposed for systematically hiding customer complaints over a period of thirty years. How would you feel buying an automobile from a company with a policy and culture like that?With your suppliers, what kind of customer are you? If they make a mistake, do you tell them right away and give practical suggestions for improvement

Some people can dive into a project headfirst without first having received any guidance and without having a plan. The most amazing aspect of this approach is that sometimes these people successfully complete a project. This approach may work for school papers or group projects, but I caution you not to initiate this kind of mentality on an entrepreneurial investment. Even if you are one of those people who have succeeded in the past using this “attack first, ask questions later” approach, I implore you to reconsider doing the same for your first, and in fact, any investment.

The simple solution, find a mentor. Talk to people that have already “walked the path that you are traveling.” You might be wondering how and where to talk to these people. I have an answer for you.

First, figure out exactly what kind of investment you would like to attempt. Accomplishing this will help you focus your efforts and questions to people who possess the expertise that will be most helpful to you. Once you have established your investment interest, you next must find “experts” who can give you the vital information you need to make an INFORMED decision about your investment goal.

Second, start with your immediate family and friends. Asking these people questions will not be difficult, because you will probably feel most comfortable around these people. Make sure you are asking questions of people who can help! DO NOT arbitrarily ask random friends and family members general questions, because you will not gain any useful information. Another pitfall to avoid is making a decision off of this information alone. Friends and family members may “sugar coat” the answers to tough questions so as not to discourage you. Although the intention is kind-hearted and good-spirited, this can only hurt you in the end.

In the event that your friends and family and their friends and family cannot provide you with a source for useful information, th

Willing to do the Work
When it began with pay at the pump, the idea of asking the customer to serve himself seemed radical. It's commonplace today and many of us drive right by those who don't offer this service.Today, banks encourage customers to never step inside, directing them to automated teller machines and web pages instead. In fact, some banks exist only in the cyber world. Travelers regularly purchase tickets and check-in for their flights without ever interact

Advertising - The Power of the Written Word over the Spoken Word
There are some things which, on account .of the delicacy of treatment, the accuracy, etc, required, cannot be trusted to the most sensitive piece of machinery, but must be finished by the hand of a skilled craftsman. There are many things in the world of selling which are too delicate for the mass treatment accorded them by the advertising man, and which require the touch of the salesman to bring to the desired conclusion.Advertising is limited by

The Era of 'Finger in the Air' Publication Strategies is Almost Over
Somewhere in most organisations is a cupboard. Inside that cupboard is stack after stack of boxes. Inside those boxes are publications – brochures, annual reports, textbooks, manuals or the like – whose only purpose seems to be gathering dust. Sound familiar? It doesn’t have to be that way, says Iain Plunkett of on-demand specialist, The Garret.I once stood with a company director in front of his own particular cupboard. He wanted to show me his c

ention is kind-hearted and good-spirited, this can only hurt you in the end.

In the event that your friends and family and their friends and family cannot provide you with a source for useful information, this means that you will have to find an expert yourself. If this happens to you, know that you are not alone. This exact situation happened to me. About five years ago, I was extremely interested in fast food franchising. After doing research through print materials and the internet, I decided that a particular restaurant offered the best opportunity. Because I had no family or friends that could help me gather information, I e-mailed every person on America On-Line whose profile stated that they owned a restaurant franchise. You would not believe the large amount of responses I received from people who were more than willing to talk with me and answer my questions.

Third, read books, magazines, and other publications on your specific investment. Although these materials can help give you a general idea, they are no substitute for a live person. Print materials may not answer all your questions and as such should be used as a supplement for person-to-person interaction. Once again, do not make a determinative decision about your investment on this information alone.

Finally, once you have compiled enough information to make an INFORMED decision, make your decision. I caution you though, do not lose contact with your mentors. They will be an invaluable resource in the future.

Having all these resources at your finger tips can help minimize your risk and maximize your returns. Learn from these mentors and success is sure to follow!
