    Love Thy Customer
    Providing first-class customer service is the most important thing your business can do. Customers demand more from less and they don't even tell you. It's never been more important to learn this if you want to achieve targets, fend off competitors and nurture a more successful business.If you’re looking for the ultimate competitive advantage, customer service is by far the most consistently successful and the most difficult for competitors to replicate. And who is your competitor? Everyone! Customers don't compare like with like any more. They compare experience with experience. This could include: a) The company that picks up the phone quicker b) The company that delivers an order faster c) The company that exceeds expectations more regularly d) Th

    Employment Screening in Canada
    Hiring the right person for the right position is not an easy task for companies around the world even in Canada. This can be a painstaking process especially if there are many candidates vying for the position. All the documents submitted by each candidate should be scrutinized to check their authenticity. And their character should be determined by means of a background check as part of employment screening in Canada.What is the purpose of pre-employment screening?Pre-employment screening is a robust tool that a company relies on to authenticate documents submitted by applicants in Canada. Some of these documents include education certificates and experience certificates. There are applicants who submit fake documents just to be qualified for the position. And i
    Every day I talk with professional service providers who do great work, have a valuable service that really helps people…and struggle to get their services used as much as they’d like.

    They get a lukewarm response after an initial conversation while networking, the referrals come in but don’t convert to real business as often as they’d like, and they can’t seem to get prospects to see them as that much better than other professionals offering similar services.

    Or they may get some attention from prospects as a result of an ad, published article, or speech…but then the early attention kind of fizzles into phone tag and no real client, in the end.

    So what’s the problem? In most cases, they’re not getting far enough with the prospect to reveal the quality of their work…so it’s not about their professional work. And some professionals DO have decent positioning and credibility-building things in place like client testimonials and case studies on their websites (although the latter -- do

    Making a Profit or Giving it Away-Humankind and Philosophy in the Balance
    Whizzing in perpetual motion the minds of those in the Online Think Tank never stop considering all sides to all issues in their quest to come up with the best decisions and solutions for mankind. Recently a topic came up which pits capitalism against socialism in the ultimate challenge as one gentleman who worked 30 years in an R and D research project is now giving it all away.Thus he stated that giving it away is best for humanity. Well yes in a way it is pretty nice of him. I agree that if you have an idea or concept that giving it is better for humanity and yet there is nothing wrong with making a profit either. I also believe that Bill Gates did give away much of what he produced if you will recall. In fact he did so well the government told him to stop it. No free

    The Idol-Makers
    The end of the television season in May included the usual array of cliffhangers on shows like “Alias,” the departure of Noah Wylie from “ER” and the finale of the highly-rated “Everybody Loves Raymond” after 210 episodes. On the last day of “Sweeps,” more than 29 million people tuned in to see the crowning of the fourth “American Idol.”With a recording contract and the key to a private jet in hand, Carrie Underwood, a 22-year-old college student from Oklahoma, said her victory was “the best night of my life.” Next week her first single debuts, most likely near the top of the charts. From there, she’ll take her shot at stardom, hoping to match the multi-platinum album sales of the first “Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson and second-year runner-up Clay Aiken.In terms of

    Local Marketing: 10 Easy Ways to Sell More to Your Neighbors
    Have a business that's purely local in focus? Or simply want to beef up your client roster with more folks from your local area?Here are 10 simple solutions to your local marketing challenges ...1. Make sure that your website specifically targets your local market. People are increasingly heading online to find local vendors. Make sure to broadcast your site's URL to all of your prospects and clients, and ask your web designer to ensure that the website is search-engine friendly for people seeking information about vendors in your city.You might also investigate pay-per-click search engines such as Yahoo! and CitySearch, which offer targeted marketing to people in your local area.2.

    There are a lot of things that can go wrong in the marketing and sales process. But in most cases, the key thing I see missing is a decent approach to packaging your professional services. Part of successfully packaging your services means putting what you offer into a variety of formats and "packages" that your clients need, at prices they’ll pay.

    Networking and asking for referrals are a waste of time (or are a lot harder), if you don’t have something for prospects to easily buy…a choice of easy "yes's" in the form of thoughtfully packaged versions of your services.
