Does Lack of Confidence Impact Your Productivity?
| |
| We all have those days. You know the kind I'm talking about. The days where nothing seems to go right and no matter what you do, things seem to fall apart. The day where others are telling you that you can't more than you can.
Your ability to pick yourself up and start again during those days is hugely important to your ability to make something really extraordinary happen. |

Customer Loyalty

Sales and Customer Service are Just Like Steriod Use in Baseball
| |
| Sales is just like Steroid use in Baseball.
If a customer attacks, complains, whines, demands or points fingers and you simply say, "you're right. I'm sorry," the issue goes away. However, if you get defensive, place blame, make excuses, deny the issue or fail to apologize, your customer will never forget and as a result, may no longer be your customer. The customer is always right - even when they're wrong. |

Consider offering guarantees
| |
| If you put yourself in the position of a customer for a moment - this will help you to recognise a good method of encouraging your own business customers to purchase from, especially for new customers for their first time!
You must have a favourite shop where you buy your clothes from in the high street or even on the Internet these days...and I would take a bet that one of your reasons for buying from this company, aside from the quality of the product etc. is for their returns policy.
This is their guarantee to you that if you are not totally satisfied with the item supplied, then you may return the item to the store. A good example of a company that does this kind of returns policy very well is Ikea, as they have a returns policy of 90-days, which is much higher than most and look at how successful this company is. |

- 'Our customer service is better than our competition' |

7 Day Challenge to Being Happier Today
| |
| So, what is this challenge that can make you happier in just 7 days?
NO complaining for 7 days!
Of course the goal is to keep it up after 7 days. :-)
I’m not talking about just the big complaints… like “oh my gosh, the dog had another accident on the rug!” but also the little complaints like, “traffic is so slow this morning,” “it’s so cold outside, winter stinks, why won’t the kids pick up their toys, I hate these shoes, my co-worker is a jerk,” etc. We all do it, often without even realizing that we’re complaining.
