What is Your #1 Obligation to Your Retail Customer?
What is your #1 Obligation to your customer? When I ask that question to retailers they generally say, “To provide the best service to our customer,” or “To help the customer get what they want.” or even “To provide an extraordinary experience so they come back.”. While these things are all good and important, I think that there is something even more important.Sew and Vac retailers have a tremendous opportunity compared to other retail businesses. Most retailers have one or two revenue streams. We have at least

The salesman or woman who sells to business owners can be a welcome sight if he or she always shows up armed with some written information or "little known secret" about that particular owner's business or industry. That information is always given freely without any expectation of a sale resulting from it. In addition, if the salesman or woman took the time to send a one page piece of mail to all of his customers every month with the "Idea of the Month" on how to increase sales, (along with a business card) who do you think the business owner would want to buy from?

The mission is simple. Educate your customer every chance you get. Provide the most valuable information you can to your customers. Continue to educate your customer the best way you know how and you will devel

How to Experience Less Headaches in Printing
When printing, the first dilemma that you usually encounter is what printing service to use for the completion of your project. Especially now that there were many printing services available, choosing which one to use is quite hard. There are so many things that you should think about when selecting a printing service. But you see there’s a big difference in the quality, printing process and the pricing.If you don’t want to experience more headaches in the future, you should be careful enough to take into consi

We are a society of information junkies. We thirst for information every single day. When we consider our own buying habits, where do we go? If it is a big item we might go to Consumer Reports or search for information online. We will certainly go to Google or Yahoo and search for whatever it is we want.

One of the very best examples of "Education Based Marketing" is seen at www.askthebuilder.com. That web site is packed full of information on the how to's of home improvement. People gravitate to vendors who supply the greatest amount of information.

A Simple Example:

If we were going to buy a pizza and we were standing right in front of two identical pizzerias, side by side, and one of them had a big sign in the window that read: "FREE Pizza Recipe Book," which one would we walk into first? We would probably all be interested in what ingredients are in the pizza and how the pizza is made.

What comes into play here? First of all we probably would never see two pizzerias side by side and we will more than likely NEVER see a pizzeria owner "divulge any secrets." The fact is, not very many people are going to ever try and make a pizza at home and it will surely never taste the same as it is does when you buy if from your favorite pizza vendor. The pizza vendor could have a business card with his web site address taped to the box with instructions on how to claim your free "Pizza Recipe Ebook." Of course there are "More Coupons" inside the ebook.

Many restaurant owners don't have much time to spend online. If the owner just had a printed recipe every week, (with his next week's coupon on the other side) he would create a customer loyalty and a following. All of his customers would look forward to the next recipe and would have to come into the restaurant to get it.

Most of us that have an e-mail address have bought something online or subscribed to an e-mail invitation for "specials" that the vendor offers. When we get their e-mail, all it includes is the items they are selling and often times it is quickly deleted. If we were to buy something from the local craft store and they asked for our e-mail address and said: "We will be happy to send you the free "how to project of the month," along with some coupons. Would we sign up? Most likely we would if we had an interest in crafts. Of course that e-mail is going to include the "Special of the Month!" We might just head right back to the craft store to grab the new set of paint brushes that are on sale.

Yes, we are playing in the digital age. That brings up the power of educational ebook marketing. Ebooks are being made all the time and distributed freely all over the Internet. Along with the free information is an opportunity to purchase the vendor's products or services. Ebooks are easy to make or easy to have made for you. A simple example of ebook marketing is seen at: www.investigate.net The vendor gives away a free ebook that is useful for locating unclaimed funds held by the states. In it, there is an opportunity to buy unlimited access to public databases. Someone who uses the ebook can access it over and over without ever buying a thing. However, if that customer ever needs to find someone or find some secret public record, where are they going to go?

Do I Really Need To Include Cover Letters With My Resumes When Applying For Jobs?
In short - YES!You should always include cover letters when applying for jobs, whether you are sending an application form or a resume/CV.Why you ask?We, as interviewers, can think of Three GOOD reasons:1. You engage the interviewer personally.By this we mean that if you write to a specific person, using their name, it makes them feel human to you.In fact, a survey conducted by the Royal Mail in 2004 found that CVs and cover letters addressed to a name

Why People Resist Us
There’s a one-word reason most ideas never see the light of day: Resistance.Resistance is often behind the glassy-eyed stares you get following a presentation, the sarcastic put-downs you have to put up with when you describe your vision for a new product or service, and other people’s abrupt departure from the water cooler when you approach, enthusiastic and ready to share an idea. What people are saying to you, either directly or indirectly is, I’ve heard your idea and I don’t get it, I don’t like it, or I d

Square Peg in a Round Hole - Being a Creative Artist in the Corporate World
Those of us who are highly creative and artistic employees know how we can be looked at differently by those who operate from the other side of the brain in the corporate world. It can be hard to fit in to conservative work environments at times for those of us who are free-thinking and artistically expressive. The creative mind is cut from a very different cloth than many. Speaking for myself, it takes adapting a free-spirited and detail oriented mind to a different world - where logic, analytical minds and strict rul

Whether you are working at home or in the office, your desk is a major key to reducing stress and improving productivity. Make sure that it is not only a place you can function efficiently, but just as important, a place you like to be! A functional desk that is ugly can be as much of a deterrent to productivity as a beautiful desk that is not functional...Choosing and Using Your Desk

Every human being wants and needs to feel important, so it is inevitable that when people work long hours in close environments something will happen that may spark a power struggle.
