Revealed - A Simple Formula For Success! Exceeding Expectations
Delight = Customer Expectation plus 1. This was the simple formula for delighting your customers that Ken Blanchard informed us of in his book “Raving Fans” For me this is a great formula, but in itself it also raises a number of questions. For example, to deliver a plus one, to exceed something, you must know what that something is in the first place… so do you? Do you know what your customer expectations are at each moment of contact? I am constantly surprised by how many of our clients don’t. They have their own personal opinions of what their customers’ expectations are, they believe they know, but can they show me evidence, no! They perhaps show me a survey they conducted over 10 years ago and say “I’m sure it’s th

A Different Approach to Sending Holiday Cards to Your Customers
Want to be startled? Don't send a holiday card to one of your clients, but ask him, a week after New Year's, "Did you get my holiday card?""Why, sure," your client will say. "Thanks for that." What else can he say? He got dozens of holiday cards from vendors. He figures he got yours, too, but it didn't stand out in his mind, because....vendor holiday cards never do.This year, save your money. Don't send holiday cards to your clients at all.Do this instead: pick a DIFFERENT time of year to send cards to your clients. Pick a holiday that makes sense for your business (buy a copy of Chase's Holiday Guide at any bookstore to search for a relevant holiday) or make one up. Send a card that says, "Today is national [her
For authors considering an alternative to print publication for any reason - be it a desire for more creative control, faster turnaround on production, or a desire to experiment with a new medium - it is important to research an eBook publisher as closely as one would a print house. Despite the stigmas placed on the industry, most eBook publishers are legitmate businesses interested in producing quality literature for sale. If an eBook publisher gains a reputation for poor editing and formatting, the books will simply not sell. Authors, in turn, will not want to risk being associated with a dubious company, and the house will ultimately fail.Want to be startled?

What Information Should You Store In Your Customer Database - And Why?
After 15 years working as a Business Analyst and an IT Specialist, the most common question I get asked by business owners is what information should I store in my customer database. Up until five years ago, I would have given them the same answers most Business Analysts would give. It wasn’t until I decided to go into business and build my own company from scratch that I really began to get a much clearer picture on what we should be storing and the real reasons why.I am certainly a great believer that all Managing Directors should in fact be required to build a business from scratch before being allowed to manage one, because from experience, it’s a lot harder than it looks. The key to success really boils down to one thing

What to do?You have two choices. You can work harder, which is tactical, short-term and comprised of reactive, daily activities. Or you can work smarter, which is strategic, based on a long-range plan and objective. Your strategy should drive your tactics, not vice-versa.
