Member You - How To Make Your Cash Register Ring All Day
We all know the difference between a generic “great job” and praise that really shows appreciation of the work we did. If you are asked to honor a co-worker, volunteer, or colleague, it’s worth the extra effort to find ways to personalize that tribute. Even if it’s a stand-up, quick moment of public praise, rather than a formal speech, making it personal boosts the morale of the person honored, as well as all those who are listening. And it will make you feel pretty good, too.But what do you do when you don’t know the person being honored? I am sometimes asked to wri
Without words, it is only so much dust. Another product that sits on the shelf, another enterprise that is unvisited, another service that is not sought.
But add words, the right words, and it is as if the dust is now fairy dust. Everything now has a certain magic, a mysterious appeal, an allure that cannot be denied. Even yesterday’s outdated product is perceived with a nostalgic touch and considered a vintage find. The eager hand of the customer reaches for it. Money is exchanged. The cash register rings. The merchant is happy, his face uplifted in a smile, a vision of pro
It really pains me when leaders talk about employees who don't perform to minimum standards. It seems that rather than take on the problem, leaders often find it easier not to confront the issue. A big part of leading people is helping them understand when they are doing well and not doing so well. It is especially important to recognize someone at once when they are doing a good job. When they need to improve, your job is to coach them to better performance.Some keys of coaching are: 1. Information: Know what is going on with your staff 2. Listen with empathy 3. Be
She is approached by a young man. His face is bright, enthusiastic, well-scrubbed. His hair is clean and fragrant, his nails trimmed, his suit pressed, and his shoes polished. Then he opens his mouth and uses words with the sophistication of a back-alley brawler.
The magic is lost. After a few flustered words, a few patent excuses, the woman leaves.
The cash register remains untouched, and the proceeds for the day the same. Hour after hour this tragedy continues.
What tragedy befell this merchant?
Meanwhile, she, still in need of cosmetics and toiletries visits another store in the mall. There the pace is hectic, the display mauled over, and the salesman, despite careful grooming in the morning, now appears disheveled by too much work.
She approaches with hesitation, and her impatience and resistance, too, are stronger.
Seeing her approach, the salesman speaks.
She smiles for the first time that day, the pinched look on her face disappears, the pursed lines around the mouth soften.
Eloquent words flow from his lips, words of courtesy, interest, and charm.
He shows her one product after another, describing the benefits and the magnetism of each in turn.
Soon she is moving swiftly, from one choice piece of soap to another bottle of exquisite scents. She piles up her arms then asks him to assist her to carry more. Together they carry the boxes to the counter. The cash register rings yet again, the drawer is almost overflowing with ill-pressed bills, and the salesman barely has enough time to close it and catch his breath when she has been replaced by yet another eager customer.
Why the good fortune of this merchant?
Business. It is simple. It is the words you use.
Business. It is complex. It is the words you use.
Words create reactions, people buy or refrain from buying because of them.
A product is manufactured. A service is created. A structure is built around them. A strategy is designed to deliver them to the public with the most appeal. Yet without words, no perception is created.
The beautiful product image is not interpreted. The stirring value of it’s content is not appreciated. The elaborate service model is not permitted full execution.

All of us have heard of marketing professionals. Some of us have even worked as marketing professionals ourselves. And some of us have probably heard of marketing agencies. But how many of us can, in all honesty say that we have heard of the term marketing consulting? I for one hadn’t. Of course I had heard of consultants and IT consultants to be more precise, but I had never before heard about marketing consulting as a field and what’s more, hadn’t the faintest idea who would be involved in such an activity.All that changed when I got onto a domestic flight and foun

Contract management procedures can be implemented using a software system or with the help of a contract management consultant. Many corporate organizations automate the process associated with establishing contracts with suppliers using such programs. The system manages the termination, conclusion and renewal of contracts. Well-established contract management procedures help to synchronize service delivery and rapport with suppliers and contributors. They also help in the management of risks related to contract performance.An important factor for contract managemen

What do words do?
They lift up perception.
A product is just another product. Until words are added to it. Then it takes on luster and power and comes into a life of its own.
Heed your words, your spoken words, your written words.
It’s not enough to throw a pitch, to make a broad appeal for interest, to say any foolish thing that comes to mind in a clumsy grope for rapport.
Something else is necessary, the right words; and behind the words, a service philosophy, a genuine desire to be of help.
Business is about words. The right words. The expressive words. The words that lure, dazzle, entangle.
Each person is in a world of their own, a trance of mixed variety, and your product is just another product, until you add the right words to it; then it flies off the shelf, and behind your customer is another, waiting eagerly in line to satisfy the perception that the words she overheard you speak aroused in her.
Business is simple if you use the right words. It’s complex if you use the wrong ones.
Train your sales people with the right words and magic happens.
The rest of the story, the quality, the display, the structure around which the business is molded pale in comparison to the words used to describe the merchandise.
Business is about words.
Whatever the business, regardless of the magnificence of its shape, size, and reach; regardless of its originality, brilliance, and design; deny it the power of words, and like a magnificent ocean liner striking a reef, it will sink like a rock.
