All I Ask...
7 things to remember about how to treat a customer.

Business Opportunity Customer Response
Business opportunity customers are the single most important piece of the puzzle when you are looking at business success. By definition a customer is someone who purchases, or intends to purchase, a product or service for sale. They do expect to buy quality products that have equal or greater value than the price they pay. There has never been a successful business without customers. Someone has to buy your product or service to generate income from your business opportunity.

Open, Leading and Closed Questions
In a selling environment where most good sales people appreciate the importance of discovering a prospect’s requirements, it is easy to take questioning skills for granted. Yet, questions that are crafted with strategic intent can uncover a myriad of secrets stored in the prospect’s mind.

The Art of Customer Service
This blog entry is a response to a topic suggestion by Douglas Hanna. It covers the art of customer service, a subject that is near and dear to my heart.

Are There Differences Between B2B and B2C Transactions in Terms of Customer Satisfaction (A PI Q&A)
Reader Question: Which components determine customer (dis)satisfaction in a B2B and B2C environment, and what are the greatest differences between these two environments concerning customer (dis)satisfaction? My Response: This is an extremely broad question as there are numerous elements that contribute to customer satisfaction. Given that we are discussing an electronic transaction, in which automation is a core element, the key to automating any process is to “free the data from the document.” According to Bankers Online (http://www.bankersonline.com/), true electronic transactions (including approvals) are 75% less expensive than a paper-based process.

The 5 Top Power questions to ask your customer
When you get your chance to speak to your customer, please refrain from asking those lame questions that salespeople tend to ask during meetings/sale call, "What does your company do", "Who did you buy your machine from","How many copies do you produce", "How long have you been in business, etc, etc. You could well ask those question during a conversation, but I hope not too often. It's all about being different from your competitors, you need to make your customer think about their response, it's all about engaging with their thought's and making an impact at the beginning of the sale call/meeting.
Even When It Works, There's More Work

How I Don’t Know Can Increase Sales & Build Customer Loyalty
Are you afraid of the I do not know response to a customer’s question. Have you ever considered this an opportunity to build a loyal customer and not a threat to your sales ego?
First Call --- Last Look
A former colleague of mind was fond of quoting what he considered "less competent" sales people who claim--- "My customers don't give last looks." His response; "Well, that just means someone else is getting it - Batman!" I really love that quote. Unfortunately it doesn't go far enough. The real question is what do you do when you get last look? Do you automatically match the low price? Unfortunately, that is the first response of most sales people. In fact, it is often the first response of many managers. The real test is how you maintain the business at a price that is profitable, acceptable and meets your margin objectives. Can you sell the customer at a higher price when he has a lower priced quote staring him in the face?

E-Mail Marketing Suppliers, can you do this?
Either through a customer or utilizing the services I have used most of the most popular E-mail providers. My list includes Constant Contact, Vertical Response, IContact, Get Response and decent knowledge of several drip marketing programs such as Infusion and Swiftpage. I have limited knowledge with other auto-responders but have dabbled with a few. My question to them is with all the data available why am I so limited in being able to manipulate it and segment it?

How to Create Phone Rage or... Hey Boss Are You Hiding?
Here's a great and interesting exercise on customer service. Try getting a hold of the owner, CEO, or "Boss of the Joint". I keep a list of those companies where employees can't even name who owns the company that writes their paycheck. I thought that was pretty amazing and the list is getting longer not shorter. My new interest - is asking for the boss' number. Recently with the WAMU and Chase merger I have had some questions regarding my mortgage. Steps taken... 1 I first called and asked my customer rep and was sent to a different department. 2. I've searched both corporate websites. 3.
