Every type of business must concentrate on good customer service and the small-business person knows that whatever line of work they are in that if they do not give good customer service then perhaps the competition will.

Too many of us are living this way and it has to change! The Government won't do it for us, nor will our family or friends. So what steps do we need to take to make life worth living and our businesses into exciting ventures?
The way to live satisfying lives is to simply dream up the things that we want to do and then make them happen. A simple statement but so few of us can put it into practice!
You can put it into practice if you take these steps NOW! First, find yourself a quiet, comfortable location where you will be free from disturbances. Ensure that you have paper and pen handy as you will need to write some things down.
Brainstorm Ideas
Now, let's do some brainstorming. For the next ten to fifteen minutes, write down all the things you'd like to do. A few rules for this exercise are in order. Don't evaluate as you write! For example, if you'd like to go overseas on holidays for twelve months - don't stop and think whether you can afford it. Just write it down. Evaluation can occur later. At this stage, write down all the things that you'd like to do assuming there was nothing that you couldn't do.
Prioritise Ideas
When you have finished brainstorming, you will have a list of the things you would like to do - and hopefully it will be a long list! Your next step is to review your list and sort it into priority order. Again, do not evaluate any of these items as to feasibility, etc. while you are ranking them. At the top of a fresh sheet of paper, write the thing you would like to do most. Underneath that, write what you'd
Faith should show up in your resume, not on it. There's a huge difference.Most Christians I've worked with have asked me to help them write or revise their resumes. Some have asked me if their faith should be on their resume somewhere.One could make the case that ministry-related jobs are "Christian jobs" and that a search targeting them is a "Christian job search" and, therefore, your resume ought to mention your faith. I agree, in that context. If you're not seeking a ministry-related job, though, you faith shouldn't be listed, hinted at, or referred to.In those cases, your faith has

Let's say you are a small business owner or a professional such as an attorney, CPA, engineer, insurance broker, or engineer and someone gives you a good business referral that results in a sale. The referral may have come from a colleague, an associate, a friend, a client, or a member of a business networking group that you frequent. You earn a commission or a fee from the sale. What do you do? Do you say thank you? Yes, of course you do. Anything else?You pay for the business referral.Business referrals should never be free.When someone gives you a business referral that resul

Everyone searching for that perfect career understands the need for a resume; not everyone, however, understands the value of a resume. You may have all the skills and qualifications to let you succeed, but, if you don't have the proper resume to display them, you won't get very far. You cannot treat your resume like a piece of paper. It is much more--and, here, we will explain what you need to know to create the resume perfect for your goals.One: actually have a resume. There is still a number of people who think that an interview will be enough to impress potential employers. This is a mistake. Wi

Enter Your Leads – Your ROI Depends on It! If your company is asking what your trade show ROI is (and if they haven't been already – they will be!), you need to have a system in place for lead tracking. Most companies have some type of sales database in place – ACT, Goldmine and Sales Voodoo are a few of the more widely used programs that provide many great ways to track leads. If you don't have a system like this in place, get one! Manual tracking can be inaccurate to say the least, and is only as good as its keeper. Keepers may come and go, but a computer-based sales lead database program sho
Take a short break before proceeding to the next step.
Evaluation
Now, look at the top three items on your list and ask yourself the question: "What is stopping me from doing these things? It will help to clarify things if you write down these reasons. For example, if your number one choice is to go overseas for twelve months, your reasons for not being able to do so could be:
+ can't afford it;
+ can't leave my business unattended; and
+ afraid I won't like it when I get there.
You've got to remember that you are looking at the three things you'd like to do most! So you're not going to let reasons like that stop you from doing them, are you? Now spend some time thinking about what you can do to overcome these reasons. Again, brainstorming without evaluation can help. Write down all the things that come to mind that could overcome these obstacles. You might write down things like:
+ sell the business;
+ cut back on personal expenditure to save the money so can afford it;
+ get more information about where I want to go;
+ hire a manager to run my business while I'm away;
+ sell the house and use proceeds to pay for the trip;
+ increase my business so that I make more money; etc., etc.
