    Prepare for YOUR Future now --
    All Presidential candidates (before and after) make all kinds of promises about YOUR 'social security' when running for the top job. Regardless of the promises, YOU are the one who has to live or die by the future plans made on your behalf.Future plans that YOU make and control. It’s your actions that count. No one else is going to make sure that you are cared for in y
    Most businesses are like African baboons – these furry fellows race through the cornfields, picking corn and stuffing it under their arm. As fast as they stuff the corn under their arm, it falls out the back, but they keep on picking and stuffing! By the time they get to the edge of the cornfield, they are carrying one corncob and they’ve left a trail of corn on the ground. This is how many entrepreneurs handle customers. They’re so busy getting new ones that they neglect and lose their existing customers out the back door. Attrition spirals out of control and yet they continue to spend more money on finding new customers.

    We know it’s far more affordable to resell existing customers than to get new ones. We know that it’s better to retain our customers and to encourage referrals through added value service than to spend a lot of money finding new customers. So why don’t we act accordingly? Why don’t we spend 80% of our marketing budget on our EXISTING customers? Invest in your people and they will bring you a lot of new ones. Build strong re

    You Bored Me at Hello - Top Three Strategies for Networking Your Brand
    "You had me at hello," those famous words from the movie Jerry McGuire let Tom Cruise know that Rene Zellweger's character was hooked from that point and the rest of his talking was unnecessary. When in networking situations, many small business owners leave people with a slightly different feeling. If questioned for the truth, what would likely be said is, "you bored me at h

Basically, to them a group of cooperative, resourceful employees all working together is as valued as good advertising. And no wonder, without it their business

    Anytime Someone Tells You That Money Can Be Made Without You Doing Anything - Beware!
    In my experience there are a lot of companies out there that make claims exactly like the title of this article. In other words, you buy their product or service and they will then do the work and you will make money. This is a fallacy, unless of course your talking about interest bearing accounts. In this case, you are lending your money to a business, and they pay you inter

Build strong relationships with the customers you have. That will increase loyalty, reduce attrition, increase transaction values and lengthen customer lifespan. Why not put a program together to REACTIVATE inactive customers? It’s much easier than trying to buy new ones.

    By redirecting our marketing dollars to our loyal clients and creating unprecedented added and unexpected value, we can engender massive reciprocity in the form of referrals and goodwill. But only strategists will understand this. Tacticians, those “instant gratification” types, will never understand this. A happy customer is good – an elated customer is better. A satisfied customer might stay with you, but an inspired and enthusiastic customer will bring her friends, family and associates.
