Creating Value for Patients
Adding value is not one of those management buzz words we use loosely but don't really understand. To your patients, adding value can simply mean doing more than you promise to do. The idea behind adding value is that the customer gains a perceived benefit without having to pay for it - or pay very little, compared with its value to the customer.Adding value offers many benefits to your hospital. It differentiates you from your competitors and builds customer loyalty. When clients receive more than they ask for, they feel they are getting their money's worth. This dramatically reduces, if not eliminates, buyer's remorse. Another major benefit to adding value is it allows you to charge more because you offer more than your competitors. Finally, adding value builds, strengthens and confirms your reputation as the cream of the crop. When you offer more than you promise, clients view you as the

- Do as much research as possible on the person or company you want to call.

- Adjust your pace, voice, and speaking style to the way the person being called speaks (don't mimic the other person though, just stretch your natural style to get closer and still remain yourself). It will make the person you call feel more comfortable talking to you.

Writing A Cover Letter For A New Construction Job
When applying to a new construction job, your cover letter is the first thing an employer will read, even before a CV, so it is one of the most important things to get right!The role of the cover letter is to highlight your main skills and experiences that match what the company is looking for in order to emphasize that you are right for the job.There is no strict formula but there are some important things to remember when writing a cover letter.IntroductionThis sets the cover letter tone and focus and is the most important sentence of the whole thing. You need to provide a catchy start to encourage the reader to carry on. It should be brief, stating the construction job you are applying to and an explanation as to why you have applied for this role. You must address the letter to the individual if you have this information.Main BodyThis is your opportuni

Have you ever wondered why there are still companies that use cold calls to acquire new business even though most people hang up sooner or later on most cold calls?

It's the so-called 'numbers game' which goes approximately like this:

- You call 100 people.

- Five to 10 people listen to you for a while for whatever reason (because they're polite, or feel sorry for the cold caller or ...)

- Two to three people are at the moment searching exactly for the kind of product or service offered in the cold call.

- One of them eventually buys.

So you just need to make hundreds or thousands of calls and you will eventually get the business you wanted.

Unfortunately, this business development approach has a number of considerable disadvantages:

* Chances are good that you will ruin the image of your company.

* It is highly frustrating to the cold caller to be continuously rejected.

* It is actually unethical because you annoy most people you call.

* It is a huge waste of time and energy.

Let me make it clear upfront: I believe in cold calls, provided they are done with integrity and respect for the person being called. Cold calls can be a fast track to getting new business from your target customers, whom you might not easily reach otherwise.

However, to make every cold call meaningful and enjoyable, you will need to change a few things in your approach.

1. Opening

Keep in mind that the first impression you make will be decisive in the outcome of your cold call. People typically form a first impression about you 12-19 seconds from the first verbal or non-verbal (the latter not relevant in cold calls) communication with you. Hence, your opening is crucial!

Some Tips:

- Don't sound like a cold caller.

- First ask for permission (just because people pick up the phone doesn't mean that it's a good time for them to speak with you). Asking permission shows respect.

- Do as much research as possible on the person or company you want to call.

Bulgarian Property Hotspots
So much has been written and said about the current prospects for the investment property market in Bulgaria now that the nation has joined the European Union; opinion ranges from those who believe the hike in property prices prior to EU accession represented the majority of the positive adjustment due in Bulgaria, to those who are certain that property prices could now mirror those of other recent EU entrants where prices doubled following accession.Some emerging hotspots are Veliko Tarnovo, which is a stunningly beautiful town with amazing architecture and great tourism interest; located in the north of Bulgaria, it is a definitely one of richest cultural locations in Bulgaria.The city of Stara Zagora occupies a strategic and important location in the country and is one of the most important economic hubs in Bulgaria.

What's the Measure of One Word?
It's absolutely essential that you find a way to differentiate your business in a meaningful way. I know I talk about this all the time, but it's that important.What if you interviewed a handful of clients and asked them this question: "What's the ONE word you would use that best describes what we do well?" Is it fast, attentive, welcoming, creative, cheap, cool, techie, smart, caring? One word is tough, but you need to get there. One simple word that sums up how you are different. If you can do that, and it's a word that means a lot to a lot, your marketing job will be significantly easier.Can't think of a word? If your business was a car, what type would it be? Why? What are the qualities you admire in people? What color is your business? What kind of music do you sound like? What kind of plant would you be? Why? (Sorry if I'm scaring some of you with this!)Got your word? No

Maintenance Planning 101
Making the Best of Your Time and ResourcesCongratulations! You’re the new maintenance manager of Megamonolith Corporation. Although you’re exited about the position, you realize you have your work cut out for you. Megamonolith recently bought out another company, and you’re assigned to the site. During your first six months, you conduct a facilities audit and discover that the prior maintenance program consisted only of breakdown repairs. (For information about facility audits, please refer to my white paper “The Facilities Audit” available through my website at www.fps-fm.com.)One of the first things you need to do is establish a work coordination and management program that helps you and your staff identify, prioritize, plan, and track corrective actions. The same process must be used by everyone involved in maintenance, and at every location. How can you do this?The system

2. Elevator Speech

Early in the conversation your counterpart will want to know which company you are calling from and the purpose of your call. Ideally, you prepare a compelling "elevator speech" which should be as concise and engaging as possible.

An elevator speech is a short statement of about 20-30 seconds (typically the time it takes to travel some floors up in an elevator) which should answer the question: "Why should I continue talking with you?"

Some Tips:

- Don't use the words "are you interested in..." Better use "would you be open..."

- Don't bore your counterpart with details of your service/product or what your company is all about; instead, say why other people/companies buy your products/services and share this with the person you call.

- Don't imply that the person you call has a problem; rather, say that you have helped others solve such problems. Better yet, tell them what benefits others got from buying from you.

- Make your statement as general as possible and as specific as necessary.

3. About Scripts

Throw away any cold call script you might have - they rarely work. Instead, write down some key statements like your opening line and your elevator speech. The opening line you can always use; the elevator speech you most probably will need at some point.

There might be some frequently asked questions in your line of business. Write down some compelling and concise answers so that you can pull them out as needed

Since every person you call is in a unique situation, you need to be highly flexible with your approach. Rather than use a script, learn to become very sensitive and responsive to each situation. Every situation is unique!

4. About Intentions

I often ask sales people in my seminars: "Which outcome would you like to have from this call?" A frequent answer is: "I

Glow sticks are fun, innovative and inexpensive to buy. They are also quite short-lived. Some may live for a number of days, but glow sticks are known more for burning out within just a couple of hours. Their life depends on the temperature and the amount of chemicals that are used inside it. A frozen stick can last longer. It is not much of a problem to find glow sticks online, and cheap ones at that.
