    How Values Set You Apart
    In business you can't rest on your laurels; there are no guarantees. Ethical standards and staying on one's toes are a basic requirement to sustaining a competitive advantage for large and small companies alike. Facilitating the strategic thinking and planning process every few years is an ideal way to make sure that you continue to pursue forward-thinking strategies. A great way to start the process is by looking at core values.What do you want to create?

Common sense here says make sure and handicap the game so that it is fun and fair for all involved. Competitive people want to compete. Here is a wonderful way to really have some laughs and make some memories. Make it fun, make it fair and make sure here you count all your strokes…

    What About A Business To Business Franchise?
    A business to business company differs from others in such that while the others cater to consumers, b2b caters to businesses in a particular area. The options and choices available upon thinking of going into this kind of business is not just profitable but diverse. Here you can offer blue collar services such as networking or marketing or white collar services like printing and janitorial services. In any case, a b2b or business to business company serves fo
    In part three of Building Your Business On The Golf Course we will look at ways to really enhance your time together.

    1) Study before the test. Here it really helps to gather as much information as possible about your playing partners. We want to always meet people on their level. Just as no two swings are alike, the same can be said for customers and prospects. Knowing a little about your guests’ personality will really help you on the course. There are many subtle things to look for as you get into your day. I want to see how serious they are because that will tell me what game we will play on the course and how lenient I can be with the rules. It may be as simple as how long a putt I will give them. Hey, if you pick up a three inch “gimme” putt with the wrong person you may find out in a hurry about the history and tradition of Bobby Jones and the sanctity of the rules of golf. The worst thing you can do is swat a short putt back to a person who “putts them all out”! Can I hit two off the first tee? Are we going to play the ball down? What about that ball your friend just hit OB with a white stake. Is that stroke and distance or is it one stroke penalty? Those of us who play know it is a two stroke penalty but your guest may not want you to be the scorecard policeman. There is a fine line here that you must be able to spot. The idea is to have a fun day and grow your business. The real score you should be looking at does not get counted at the end of 18 holes. Does this mean I advocate cheating or looking the other way? Absolutely not! Unless there is money riding on the game I will tend to let it go. It just isn’t that big a deal to me if a guy shoots and 87 instead of the 90 he really should have had. My point is this. You really need to be a good judge of people here and you want things to flow. Pick a set of tees that will be fun. Play the ball up if they want to. My experience during hundreds of pro-ams and business rounds of golf says people want to relax and have fun. It is for them and about them, do not forget it.

    2) Do you want some action? That is what you will here on any given day on every course in America. What does that mean? It means don’t be afraid to wager on your match. You mean bet? Gamble? Yup! I have yet to see the person that would be financially hurt with a two dollar bet. If you are dead against it for spiritual reasons or your spouse might smack you then you may want to skip this paragraph. Maybe you can play for a coke or lunch or a snickers bar. Whatever the wager just make sure it is something everyone is comfortable with. This is a wonderful opportunity to team up with your customer and go into battle.

    Edge Out the Competition: The 7 Keys to Service Excellence
    Customer service has long since been considered a minor area of organizational operations – minimum wage, clerical orientation, requiring no skill. Customer service personnel are often treated as peons by customers and managers alike. However, in the day and age when the supply of service providers outweigh the demands for the service or product and competition is high for every consumer dollar, customer service is the only true determining factor as to where

It was as though somewhere in my psyche, someone had opened an inn
