The U.S. Federal Trade Commission says that identity theft is it's number one source of consumer complaints - 42 percent of all complaints, in 2001.The thief will use your personal information to open credit card accounts, cell phone accounts, open bank accounts in your name and write bad checks-leaving the victim with the bills and ruined credit ratings.

Are you opening a dollar store? If so don’t fall into the trap of forgetting that the merchandise you buy is not for you. Rather, the merchandise that you buy to resell is for you customers. In fact, the better the job that you do of making sure you understand exactly what those customers desire, the more successful your store will become.Many new store owners seem to have forgotten this simple idea. They focus their buying on items that they personally use. If an item is ordered and gains popularity with customers, they may abruptly stop reordering if the item is not one that they personally like or use. That is a mistake that costs these entrepreneurs money. Don’t make that same mistake when you are opening a dollar store.While you cannot simply forget about your own wants and needs, focus buying on
Employees are supposed to help you get more accomplished, not drain your energy. In fact, employee innovations (inventions and process improvements) are the source of competitive advantage and profitability – your success depends on leveraging them.
How you handle new hires sets the stage for employees to become high performers and contribute to the success of your business.
The first step is to select the right person for the job. It’s almost always better to “hire for attitude” and “train for skills.” You can’t fix a bad attitude, but you can fix a skill deficiency. You want to hire the person with the good attitude.
Don't hire in haste. It's much better to spend time on the front end and hire carefully, than have to spend time and money dealing with an employee who wasn't a good fit. Termination and/or turnover are draining for all involved.
Interviewing DOs
- Communicate clearly what is expected in the job.
- Strive to have the candidate talk 80% of the time.
- Ask open-ended questions.

Truck Washing is all about customer service when dealing with the Independent Truck Driver Crowd. Many of them have custom rigs and 18-wheelers with chrome, aluminum tanks and fancy paint jobs. They love their trucks and you need to treat their truck you would your own show car or Harley Davidson, otherwise they will not be pleased with your truck wash.Of course if you do everything right they will be on the CB for the next 200 miles talking like a storm about how great your truck wash is and give you another 10 customers in that day alone. Sounds good right? But how does a truck wash give great service?First Truck Drivers make money driving, hauling and delivering their loads, not waiting in line for two-friggin hours for G-darn halfass truck wash. Second soap streaks are unacceptable and so is using

I was teaching about customer intimacy and loyalty when one participant asked, ‘What if your competitor has already built a close relationship with a customer, and you want to get inside?’I replied, ‘Add value first. You will reap value later.’How can you help prospective customers right now – even before they become your paying customers?Can you send articles of interest with your namecard attached? Could you make practical suggestions to help them serve their customers better? Can you provide insight about developments in your industry that may soon impact theirs? Could you write notes of congratulations when they succeed in a major project or undertaking?If you add value high enough or long enough, eventually you will get a piece of your prospect’s business. It may not be a big piece,

“Inspiration” is defined as a sudden intuition or light that gives a solution for a problem.

Interviewing DON’Ts

The next step is to make an offer of employment.

The offer should specify any other requirements (such as background or reference check, physical exam). It should also specify whether you require the employee to sign other documents such as: a confidentiality, non-compete, non-solicitation, invention assignment agreements. The offer letter should state that employment is “at will” and include a date by which the offer must be accepted.
