Do You See Through Your Client's Eyes?
It’s a big shock to realize that no one really cares about your business, at least in the beginning of the process. What people do care about, and want to know, is what your business can do for them.You can imagine that information about how long you have been in business or why you started your company isn’t the most intriguing introduction. So why do so many business owners do it?I know you love what you do and you’re crazy about your business, me too! It’s

Running a modern business is not about just advertising. Wining a new customer and getting an existing customer back onto your premises is not as straight forward as it used to be few decades ago. Customers are much more savvy, thanks to all the slick marketing campaigns they get exposed to to every day of the week.

Then how do successful businesses do that? Lets us do a little exercise with your business. Be as honest as possible: How unique is your product? Can it be bought else where? What price do you charge your customer? Is this the cheapest within miles? Can you list 3 reasons why a customer should speak to you first before placing an order with any one else? It could be that you provide a great service... is it the best around? May be for you but what does your customer think, honestly? May be you give your customer a satisfaction guarantee that your competitors cannot beat or come any where near to.

You have probably gathered that being successful in business is all about differentiating yourself from the rest - it could be on price, service, product or some thing else. Every industry has competitors and it is hardly likely to ever ease.

If you are in a fortunate position where your business can afford external business consultants then you probably know that they would recommend doing competitor analysis… revamping branding of your business… negotiating prices upstream (suppliers) so that you can sell them on cheap…and so on and so forth! A combination of these strategies can work, and some times they do not. There is no guarantee of any kind, ever.

Can You Hear Me Now
I’m not really that old. At 54, I am surely not old enough to remember communicating by smoke signals or drums. But I am old enough that while working for a huge engineering company, I was trained as a back-up for the regular telephone operator, and that meant learning how to operate the old cord switchboard. When Centrex telephone system was introduced, I learned about that as well. Back then, women – even engineers – were all expected to type. And those in the clerical f

Is The Alphabet Dictating Your Success? Some Evidence (Part 2)
In the surname stakes, we can almost forget gender, knowledge or experience. The alphabet will sort us out with callous efficiency into categories marked: Essentials (A-G); Desirables (H-M); Barely Advantageous (N-S); Don't Bother (T-Z). This mental sorting is not confined to groups or organisations. Every individual is brainwashed into doing it. So when we want a particular product, we rush to the phone book and expediency dictates that we head str

Top Ten Oscar Nominees Who Got Their Start on TV
TV has always been a popular stepping stone on the way to Hollywood stardom. The film industry will always look upon television as the minor leagues, so to speak, a place where talent is harvested, personas invented. As such, the fact that so many Oscar nominees this year got their start in TV is not a surprise. Most acting nominations seemed to come from either former American television actors or foreign actors. This makes the film industry even more like the major leagues.

One strategy that does work, especially for small or medium sized businesses is giving more than what customer expects. This makes them want to deal with you more often, and also refer their friends to you as well, taking the your cost of new customer acquisition even lower. The trick is - you do not have to give them more of the product they are buying. Give them some thing that is low value to you but is regarded highly by your customer.

Your competitors are probably advertising in in newspapers and other media outlets to generate leads. you can start with your existing customers and ask them for referrals. Offer them some thing in return, like draw to a vacation some where nice if they refer a friend to your business. You do not need to give vacation to every one, just run this contest for a few weeks and then pull out a draw. Perhaps the profits generated by acquiring new customers can pay for the vacation expenses. But since you have new customers in your database, you can hope to do more business with them in future.

Being creative in business is one sure way to win. Advertising does not always bring profitable customers, referrals do. When people recommend you to their associates, hard work is already done and relationship half built. They are ready to do business. Go take orders and start up-selling.

Referrals are often a win-win situation all around, for your customers (because they may get a vacation or other incentive for just introducing), their friends (they are dealing with a trusted source) and of course, you. In a study published in Harvard Business Review not very long ago, it was concluded that 5% inc

Each of us is ultimately responsible for our own actions. Although in today's business world, I imagine many skeptics would take exception to that statement because there is evidence that people are not held accountable for their actions, even when they are unethical. And even more disturbing, some are even rewarded for unethical actions. Each of us makes a choice to act ethically or to act unethically. It is essential that we know what is ethical and what is unethical. But, more challenging and difficult than knowing what is ethical, is knowing what is right and then doing what is right. Always doing the right thing is required for long-term success in your business and personal lives. So what advice and guidance are available to check if the action is right before implementing a decision to act? Well, your strategic thinking business coach has a set of questions to provide guidance to you for ethical decisions and actions.
