Moses, Business And The 80/20 Rule
What is the 80/20 Rule?More formally the 80/20 rule is also known as the Pareto Principle. To Quote Wikipedia: "The Pareto principle… known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few…Business management thinker Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle and named it after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of income in Italy went to 20% of the population."We hear the 80/20 rule as it is applied to business and sales. Twenty percent of your employees produce 80% of a companies proble

It seems that most people are starting or at least thinking about starting their own business. While the history of entrepreneurship is as old as humanity, today's economic climate and booming internet marketplace have brought even more people interested in venturing out on their own.

Sadly, while many people dream of starting their own business all too often those dreams fail miserably causing professional and financial devastation for those involved. How do you know if you have what it takes to start your own enterprise and make it a success? While some people like to point to the market idea, economic climate and other outside factors, I believe success and failure are determined by one essential factor -- the entrepreneur involved. Successful new business owners bring three essential qualities to their dream. I call these the MAT factor which simply stands for Money, Attitude, and Time.

Money is an important factor when you start a new business for three reasons. The first consideration is of course the old adage that it takes money to make money. While it is possible to start an internet enterprise with nothing, it is easier to have at least a little start-up capital. Another important financial factor is your personal financial standing. If you need to hold down a full-time or part-time job while also trying to start a business it could be too much to handle especially if you have other personal obligations. Finally, your attitude toward money is a big factor. If you are a wise personal financial manager then you will likely be able to apply those same skills and knowledge to your business finances, but if you can't mana

Hey, It's Your Attitude Man
In one of my first articles I talked about the Attitude required to be a Professional Customer Service Representative. There has been a growing clamor, if you will, about the state of Attitude in our Customer Service organizations.Last weeks post on that popular website and the response from the CEO of that company is really only the tip of the iceberg in Customer Service waters.It is the beginning of an ever growing serious problem that is going to be to be the focal point from boardroom to coffee house

Customer Satisfaction is a Rearview Mirror
What is the difference between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty?One package delivery company uses a regular survey to measure customer satisfaction: shipping volume (increasing, decreasing or stable), error rate (packages lost, damaged or delayed), and customer rating (happy, neutral or upset).While these indicators provide a valid snapshot of performance and customer opinion, they are lagging rather than leading, like looking in the rearview mirror.The difference between customer satisf

Customer Relationship Management System
Customer Relationship Management Systems is a tactical and strategic tool. If used correctly, this tool can forecast trends and help a company with the top and bottom lines. Today, many businesses do not look the same as they may have many years ago. They have definitely left their core competency to move onto something more profitable. The internet and information technology have made that possible.General Motors and eBay are two companies who have reduced focus from their original purpose to reflect financing

Give a Gift That Gives Again
Many companies encourage customer loyalty with discounts and other gifts. These may be appreciated, but it can also become expensive and expected.Here’s another idea that will make your customers happy and also boost your business.Send your existing customers a free coupon for some of your products or your service. But make this voucher valid only when signed by your current customer, and redeemable only by someone who is not (yet) your customer.What does this accomplish?Your existing custo

If you are a wise personal financial manager then you will likely be able to apply those same skills and knowledge to your business finances, but if you can't manage your personal finances then likely you won't be able to manage your business finances. Businesses with a good cash flow can sometimes forgive a little financial mismanagement but new businesses struggling to get off the ground often demand very wise financial management to survive.

Time is also an important element in new business success or failure. Many new entrepreneurs far underestimate the time they will need to spend on developing, growing, and maintaining their business. Many entrepreneurs who fail are not good managers of their time. It is important for you to know that you can dedicate a certain number of hours each day or week to your new venture -- and that time can be spent on all areas important to the future success of your business such as planning, ongoing work, and promotion and marketing. Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the actual servicing of existing customers that you forget to cultivate new customers. Sometimes it is easy to become overwhelmed by the day-to-day work and overlook planning for the future. Both these mistakes are time management problems that can lead to business failure.

Finally, the most important quality involved in the success of new ventures can be summed up in one word -- attitude. Do you possess the right attitude to become a successful entrepre
