Other Added - Customer Service and Marketing that Works
After coaching hundreds of people on how to break free from the corporate world, I have created 7 fundamental practices to help you successfully start a new career. I share them with you here.1. Center YourselfWhen you are trying to start a new career, you may encounter inner resistance and self-doubt. Before self-talk sabotages your dreams, learn to disconnect from your negative thought patterns. I recommend centering

It's not about traffic; it's about generating leads. That's right. It only took me eight words to give you the secret super tip on using pay-per-click (PPC) search engines successfully. It's not about generating traffic to your website; it's about generating leads from the traffic for which you are paying. This slight shift in understanding about where the value resides in PPC search engines could make all the difference when it com
The old days of customer service is where you the customer were viewed as valuable and important and you received service from a person and not a machine.
With an emphasis on shareholder wealth and increased profits the shift has been slowly eroding the service ethos of many businesses. This has not gone unnoticed!
Many employees in these businesses become disenchanted with the ‘ivory tower’ mentality of management as they issue edicts from afar without employee consultation and finding out what really happens at the shop front.
Off course (sic) looking at the glossy brochures you would see that the business is a committed believer in service excellence but the fact remains it’s not forthcoming.
By way of example take the banks that are closing down branches and steadily increasing fees for services that you were once told were free.
For the ordinary consumer we cop it on the chin, complain to ourselves and our neighbors or put up with it and say nothing.
This mediocrity in service mentality thrives because we are silent and the banks and other businesses know this. It a bit like politicians who leak policy to the media, weather the storm and then know the general populace will get used to it. The malaise of apathy ensures that they win!
But you can respond and you should.
People power has enormous effect if it is sustained and enough people complain – or compliment.
What can you do!

Have you made the right choice?

6. Lead by example if you are a manager.
Take the following example of excellence in service;
An Audiometrist who sold hearing aids to 8 clients a day used to ring 2 of their clients the next day to see how the new hearing aids were working. This business grew a solid reputation for service and new potential customers would often ring up and ask to see this Audiometrist by name.
By taking the time to ensure that their customers were looked after the business was able to outsell other hearing aid suppliers because people were treated with respect. This subsequently cut down the advertising and marketing costs of the business ensuring that the business had a steady stream of referrals and business and could focus on customer service. It had the effect that because of trust people would purchase more expensive hearing aids because they trusted the business and its service ethos.
Business isn’t difficult if you know your market and take the time to care for people!
