    Customer Service Speaker Says Clear Ground Rules Promote Better Relationships
    If there’s one thing that drives me bats, it’s courting a prospect, writing and submitting a proposal, and then not being able to get the person on the phone or to respond to an email in a timely manner.Yes, they’re being rude, but I suppose they think it’s their prerogative; after all they are customers, or we hope they will be. But you have to admit, this is an inefficient way to build a relationship, and it can set the stage for conflicts later on.Once, when I was doing a nationwide training program for an airline, I made my contact agree to accept m

    Keeping Up To Date With Changes To Payroll Tax Laws
    The typical American business comes in all types and sizes. In fact, one might argue that there is no such thing as a “typical” American business. The business community in this country consists of multinational corporations having tens of thousands of employees, countless small sole proprietors with just a single employee and virtually everything else in between.

This can

    When somebody hears your message or sees your logo from some medium you have created, what does the path from that first ‘touch’ to your cash register look like?

    'Build It And They Will Come' Vs. The New Age Of Advertising - Contextual Advertising
