Member You - How Do I Reach My Existing Customers?
IntroductionWhen I received an SMS message from the Abu Dhabi Police, I was a little surprised. It was in Arabic, so I couldn't read it, but I quickly had it interpreted and it was a reminder that my motor vehicle registration was due to expire soon. I was pleasantly surprised. Surprised that a country that is incredibly paper bound in some areas, is doing something to overcome paper warfare and move gradually to electronic communications in others. It certainly doesn't happen in my home country, Aus

Are you planning your business or are you planning your growth?If you are like many high-performing business people, you have an annual ritual to set your plans for the coming twelve months. Some people do it in December, others at weird, miscellaneous times of the year, but most -- me included -- tend to do it the beginning part of the New Year.It doesn’t matter exactly when you do this, but it is important you do it sometime soon. It has been said all the way back to the time of the an
The more a customer is involved in your business, the less likely they are to go elsewhere. If they have a vested interest in your business, they are less likely to easily turn to a competitor. For instance, think about the options you have with your bank. Many banks have a significant number of online options available to you. With online bill pay systems, you can make payments through your bank without ever having to buy a check or a stamp. This is a great service for you the customer. But it takes time and effort to input all that information online to set up those account to enable you to make those payments. Once you have that set up, you are not likely to suddenly decide you would rather have your account somewhere else. It will take a lot of consideration on your part before you throw away that time you have invested to go to another bank. Your bank is counting on that.

A few years ago I was sitting in my office at the hotel in which I worked wondering why it was 11:00 p.m. and I was still at work and not at home with my family. It was winter in Massachusetts – cold, dark and dreary. The Night Manager arrived about 11:30 p.m. and I drove home on desolate streets and crawled into bed exhausted. I had missed saying goodnight to my young daughter and my husband was peacefully snoring. I realized the best part of my life was happening without me being present – my family. The nex

Cheap business phones and phone systems are available from several U.S. as well as international manufacturers. Most business telephone systems essentially consist of several internal telephones, fax machines and other devices, connected to each other and to the outside world by a switching system. Switching systems, called PABXs or PBXs are distinguished from smaller systems by the fact that external lines cannot be normally selected at any individual extension.Smaller systems are called "key systems" and a

Problems It has been observed that it is becoming increasingly difficult to conciliate the agendas of the people managing the company in order to schedule the statutory meetings in conjunction with the workshops of the ongoing projects. Moreover, the absence of a management representative at a meeting (albeit due to an important situation such as negotiating an important contract) is not uncommon. Consulting your colleagues helps you to take better decisions for the company.

Your first step should be to let them know what you are doing on a regular basis. Many businesses do this through a newsletter. Technology makes this even easier (and much less expensive) by using email for your delivery. This may seem too simple, but a newsletter keeps your customers involved with you personally. You keep your information in front of them on a monthly basis. So, when they need your product or service, your name is the one they remember. It is common knowledge that a client needs to have ten points of contact with you on an annual basis for you to keep them as a client. A monthly newsletter will cover that with no problem.
A second step you can take is to develop a database on your clients. This can be done just by asking your client to fill out a simple customer care card. Go beyond the normal contact questions of mailing address and phone number. Ask them to give you their birthdays and anniversaries. Also encourage them to make a wish list of all of your products they would like to have. Use this information to offer them birthday specials on the products they want. Or call their spouse to offer suggestions for anniversary gifts. Make their shopping simple, and they will keep coming back to you.
A third step to keep the client involved is some version of a punch card. (You can find a great customer care card/punch card combination at theboo
