Every business owner wants to reduce business costs and save more money. It is essential for small business's survival. Here are a few effective ways for your reference. 1. Barter. If you have a business you should be bartering goods and services with other businesses. You should try to trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals usually require little or no money. 2. Network. Try networking your business with other bu

Successful men/women seem to have basic personality and character traits that lead them to great wealth and accomplishments. Some of the men/women use one combination of skills to achieve their goals while others use a different combination. Despite these differences all of the men/women have basic skills that comprise the canvass on which the picture is painted. To know what these skills are is to know your own chance of becoming successfu
Last week I had the opportunity to speak at the Lumbermen's Merchandising Corp. annual sales meeting in Dallas. The meetings were held at the Dallas Convention Center and the hotel we stayed at was the Hyatt Regency at Reunion.
The first night I had dinner at the Centennial Caf? Restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. The food was good and the service, I mean the server, was outstanding.
It was a slow night and Abdul was covering one half of the tables in the restaurant. Here are some of my observations:
1. Abdul was always smiling.
2. He was energetic.
3. He walked fast and with purpose.
4. As soon as I was seated at the table he asked me for my drink order.
5. Two minutes later - it was there.
6. He wrote down my order which included some special diet requests.
7. It took four minutes for the bread to be served. The meal was delivered exactly how I ordered it.
8. When it was time, the plates were removed quickly and quietly.
9. He was there when you needed him and not when you didn't.
I went back to the same restaurant the next night. This time however, the place was really hopping. I asked for a table with a light, so I could finish a good novel I was reading.
The hostess put me at a table with lots of light and it was right next to the reception podium, where she greeted all customers. She didn't move or walk fast.

Why should a consultant form an alliance of experts?Most consultants are solo operators and have an expert skill set in one area. This is good when your services are in demand. But what happens when your services aren’t quite what the client wants? You could give recommendations of someone else to do the job but giving a name and letting the client contact the new person or you can form an alliance.An alliance is a loose group

Brand Identity is a promise. One given from business to customer to expect certain things. Whether that promise involves product quality, service, price or a million other things varies from brand to brand. But the one thing common among all brands is the need to be a strong brand.Why is brand identity so critical?A strong brand identity can position a company above its competition all by itself. But having a brand that’s stro

If you are considering a job in customer service then perhaps you should go to work as an intern for a Concierge Company or at the Concierge Desk at a 5-Star Hotel and Resort. Why? Well because this truly epitomizes customer service.There are many companies, which have worked to emulate this sort of level of service. We see it at restaurants, golf course, American Express and so many other corporations in America these days. Sometime

Abdul approached the hostess and spotted me. He said, "Welcome back." I asked if he could be my server and he said it would not be possible since he was limited to his station on the other side of the restaurant.
He asked about my server and I told him he hadn't been to my table yet. Without any hesitation he asked if I would like the same glass of wine I enjoyed the night before. I was impressed and I said yes.
The hostess had her arms wrapped around the podium - what a sight. I managed to get her attention and asked to be moved to Abdul's section. She gave me her best impression of a positive nod.
Abdul grabbed the menu and escorted me across the restaurant to another table with enough light for me to finish my book. While the entr?e was different, the service again, was excellent.
Service can be awesome or dreadful - and it's usually people who make the difference.
The elements of good service are not instinctive and are usually the result of extensive training. Unfortunately, servers don't get to judge the service - that's strictly up to the customers.
The reward for good service is more business. The reward for superior service is even more business. It should also be noted that "Profitability is the applause of a happy customer." I gave gave Abdul a big tip.
In conclusion and generally speaking . . .
People who walk fast make more money than people who don't.
People who are enthusiastic, energetic, and show a little passio
