Casual Articles - Avoid The Sharks
An online advertisement for an e-book on the subject of avoiding Internet work at home scams started me wondering about just how dangerous working at home on the Internet might be. I stumbled across the advertisement by accident. I have to confess I was doing just what I warn everyone else not to do - allowing myself to get sidetracked in the middle of doing some work instead of
7. Above All, Be Nice
Always be polite. Use the words Please, Thank You, and Your Welcome. Be polite to your customers even if they are being irate with you. We're all human and nobody likes getting yelled at but stay calm, admit your mistake and apologize. Move to correct the mistake quickly and make it up to your customers in a big way. This approach will satisfy the majority of people. Why? Because most customers just want an acceptable resolution to thei
There are many management areas. Infrastructure is such a field that is normally not too popular as a discipline. It is not directly visible, at least not in the sense that you can measure the output – in terms of number of products or services related to the investments that are done. Yet, if the topic of infrastructure is not properly set on the management agenda, it will put its
1. Ask
Your target audience may or may not like your web site. The same goes for your newsletter, products, services, affiliate programs etc but the only way to know is to ask. The feedback you get from your customers can show you things you may not have been aware of or emphasize what you already knew. Either way asking for their input not only helps you but makes them feel more connected. A major step to building a good relationship.
2. Stay In Touch
Contact your customers on a regular basis. Offer them a free e-zine subscription. Ask if they want to be updated by e-mail when you make changes to your web site. After every sale follow-up to see if they are satisfied with their purchase.
3. Friendly Web Site
Make your web site easy to navigate. Have a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page to explain anything that might be confusing. Use an electronic survey to find out how to make your web site more customer friendly.
4. Easy And Free Communication
Make it easy for your customers to contact you. Offer as many contact methods as possible. Hyperlink your e-mail address so people won't have to type it. Offer toll free numbers for phone and fax contacts. Getting in touch with you should never turn into a Kafka novel.
5. Teach Your Employees
If you have employees, make sure they know and use your service policy. Give your employees bonuses or incentives to practice excellent customer service. Tell employees to be flexible with each individual since each person has different concerns, needs and wants. That goes for your employees also. Give them guidelines but encourage them to come up with their own ideas for customer satisfaction.
6. Impress
Give your audience more than they expect. Send thank you gifts to lifetime customers. E-mail them online greeting cards on holidays or birthdays. Award bonuses or discounts to those who make a big purchase. One simple way to impress your customers is to follow through. If you say you're going to do something, by all means do it. Broken promises can lead to bad feelings.

Failing to focus salespeople's activity reduces efficiency and consequently reduces results, because there is not a salesperson alive that believes they have enough time in their working week to complete all the activities they want to achieve! Time is a huge constraint on their activities so that when their manager asks them for more, it is no wonder that they are overwhelmed.
