Creating A Business Image That Counts
| |
| Your business image can be physical or conceptual - both are important. It is how you are seen and how people (customers and suppliers) think of you, that will set your image. Have you thought about what you want your image to be and what you have to do to ensure it happens? |

8 Tips for Successfully Handling Customer Complaints
| |
| Everyone has heard the adage, “The customer is always right.” And while there are times that this idea can really be put to the test, quality customer service is something that every business, no matter what industry, should aspire to possess. Addressing customer complaints is a key part of nailing down that sterling customer service image. Customer complaints can actually benefit your business, as it gives you a clear idea of what areas need improvement and provides you with direct feedback from your clients. Deftly handling customer complaints can build you a strong and loyal client base; disregarding them can result in nothing but lost sales and a poor brand image.

How to Be a Source of Inspiration
| |
| To be a source of inspiration for others we must reflect a confident and positive image, but how we view ourselves colours the image we project. |

Image Versus Identity
| |
| The image of a company can be purchased and crafted much like an illusion that a stage magician performs. The identity of a company is the real version of what customers see and experience when patronizing a company.
Huge difference.
It is quite possible and often likely that companies that have paid for an image have quite a different identity. Grassroots marketing people like your's truly discover and bring out the true identity of the businesses we represent.
Here's a quick example; an area has an Avis Rental Car location which has an image of "We're number two, so we try harder." But also in the area is Joe's Rental Cars, a local guy who serves free hot dogs and always has cars in stock. The first has an image, the second has an identity.
Image is fleeting and expensive, identity keeps customers talking and coming back.

Living Inside Two Boxes-The power of Self-Image
| |
| Self-Image, how we view ourselves, is the gateway to superior performance. Our Self-Image will not allow us to achieve anything beyond what we believe we can. As Earl Nightingale once said, "We become what we think about." |

Change Management Can Lead to Rigidity and Resistance to Change
| |
| Beware of formal organization improvement or "change management" (an oxymoron) plans. Like strategic plans, organization improvement or change management plans can reduce an organization's effectiveness. They can lead to rigidity, bureaucracy, and resistance to change.
This sounds like an argument against planning. It's not. We have found that constant and ongoing personal, team, and organization improvement planning is vital. But too many "change management" and improvement plans are built on the same faulty premise as strategic planning - that there is a right path, which can be determined in advance and then implemented. We often hear managers declare that they have the right strategic or improvement plan, but the reason things aren't going according to plan is because of "execution problems." This is a deadly assumption. |

Process Management Pathways and Pitfalls (Part Two)
| |
| Make sure all your process improvement activities are clearly and tightly linked to your strategic imperatives. Each effort should also have highly focused and specific improvement goals (that are an aggressive, major stretch) and measurements. Establish feedback and follow-up steps for each process management and improvement team.
