You just signed a Help Desk Service Level Agreement (SLA) and now think things will get easier. However, you may soon be falling into one of these traps:1) COVERING THE TRUTH WITH METRICSIn some companies, those under the radar of SLA compliance may resort to doing the minimum instead of really solving the problem. This includes closing or reassigning customer tickets just to meet the ticket queue deadline. While a review of SLA monthly metrics may look like the help desk is meeting or exceeding metrics, in reality the quality of support had started a downward death spiral.2) DOING ACTIVITIES JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE SLAWhen creating the SLA, the customer/management may ask for services and reports because "they are nice to have" and they perceive them as free.

Well, stop! THERE’S the problem!
Why are you focusing so much on tricks, verbiage, and clever ways to get in front of those who count?
Answer: That is how you were taught. People told you that is the way to do it. Well, it’s time to unlearn all of that. You know in your heart that there must be a better way, and you are right!
Now, is there a magic wand that you can wave that will get you in front of more people overnight? NO; stop looking for one! There is, however, a certain set of principles that you can follow that will dramatically INCREASE the amount of quality people that you can see in any given week.
Understand Yourself
These principles aren’t quite the same for everyone; they should be unique to your personality. Your approach to setting appointments should be something that you are comfortable with; something that would make your mother proud. It should be a way that embodies all of the things that make you and your company wonderful. Sales utopia? Sure is, but it works!
The easiest way to understand and use these principles is to examine how YOU like to make a purchase. Do you enjoy receiving phone calls about the newest product on the market? NO! Do you enjoy when people show up at your place of business unannounced to “save you some money”? NO! Now, if you don’t like it when people do these things to you, WHY would you insist on doing this to your customers?
Understanding how YOU like to make a purchase will unlock the secret to developing the approach you should take to set more appointments.

Giving birth to a baby, and a business at the same time, appears to be a crazy idea, to those who haven't tried it. Come to think of it, even those of us who have embarked on this daunting double whammy, agree that there are easier ways to live your life. Happy hormones combine with an inevitable shift in circumstances, and create a tantalising mood of change. Questions persist, in moments of reflection, when you take the weight off your swollen ankles and ponder your bulging waistline. Do I really want to go back to work? Wouldn't it be nice to have some flexibility? What on earth am I going to do about childcare? Surely all I need is a laptop and a phone line? I must be able to do something else.... Of course, the little voice in your head that says whoa..we have enough on

Last week I took our two boys on an all guy vacation to the Nickelodeon Family Suites Hotel in Orlando. It's the only one of it's kind in the world, with two separate mini-water parks on site, with a mall in the middle.We had a blast, and I may never be completely dry again!One of the features that really intrigued me was the 400 gallon bucket that was on top of one of the multiple water slides (picture a giant jungle gym with multiple water slides). Water poured into the bucket and each time it filled up, the bucket would dump 400 gallons of water down on the slides, soaking everyone, especially if you were right beneath.As a matter of fact, if you are right under it, you need to be sure that your bathing suit is securely attached to your body, or else you could lose it, as m

There’s no easy answer to how people like to make a purchase, because everybody is different. Before you begin to develop a new approach for getting appointments, you must realize that your customers buy for THEIR reasons, NOT yours. Your approach must speak to THEIR buying motives.
Despite our differences, there are certain factors that accompany every purchase. Knowing and using the following rules will make the process of setting appointments enjoyable and successful for you AND your customer! Incorporating them into your approach will increase the NUMBER and QUALITY of your appointments with prospective customers, and will lead to more sales!
The 7 Rules
1. Don’t use tricks.
Using tricks not only makes YOU look bad, it is insulting to your customer. You are insulting their intelligence and showing that you’re not truly interested in helping them with their problem. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere and will NOT lead to a sale.
2. Be sincere.
By definition, you CANNOT fake sincerity! If you sincerely desire to help the customer find solutions to their problems, your customer will know it. They will feel your sincerity in every word you speak and every action you take with them. This sincerity will lead to a relationship of trust, where your customer will feel confident bringing you their problems and their business.
3. Be honest.
Your customer understands that you need to make a living. You shouldn’t pretend you are giving a product away for free, making them a special deal, or giving them an offer that is only good for one day (just to name a few). Your approach needs to be honest and upfront. Honesty IS always the best policy—even in sales.
4. Do your research.
Never ask your prospect something that you could have found the answer to on their website.
Your level of preparation speaks volumes about yourself and your company. If you are able to demonstrate an understanding of the prospect’s business, your customer will see that you have already i
