The Most Common Customer Management Mistakes
| |
| How we manage our customers is critical to the on-going success of our business. After all, without customers we have no revenue, and without revenue we have no business. Yet many companies and sales people don’t pay enough attention to their existing customers to build loyalty so they’ll remain as clients who continue purchasing from us. The focus of many companies seems to be biased toward acquiring new customers at the expense of their existing ones. Since it costs so much more to sell to new customers (up to seven to 10 times more) due to added marketing and sales activities, it just makes plain sense to focus more efforts on retaining our bread and butter customers. |

10 Steps for Your Sales Force to Survive and Thrive in the Recession
| |
| I was in the pool, playing catch with our six-year old son, when Henry began a "dialog" with me. He said, "You can't play catch in the pool. It's against the rules."
I was stunned, but apologized, said I wasn't aware of that rule and removed the football from the pool.
There was another guy in the pool and he mentioned to me that the pool rules did not include an exclusion about playing catch. I mentioned that to Henry and he became irate because he owns one of the resort's units, wrote the rules himself, and said, "It better be on that sign!"
So what's wrong with this picture? |

The Art of the New Wealth: A Journey of Inner Peace and Deliberate Creation
| |
| I recently had a client that was struggling financially and I told her to be grateful for what she had. Instead of accepting this thought, she went irate. She told me that she couldn't be grateful for her old clothes, small house and her debit. She could even be grateful for the intangible things like her angry teenager and ex-husband.
In reflecting on my journey in deliberate creation with universal laws, I have found that before lived deliberately, I was overlooking all that I have.
What if we could be feel glorious peace and gratitude towards every-single-thing that meets you in life? Instead of getting caught up with what we don't have and what we are striving to "get". And depressed that we don't already have what we want already. |

Why Customers Don't Buy Your Products or Services
| |
| I increasingly hear from customers with coaching, consulting or other professional advice practices these days how frustrated and anxious they are.
They feel worn down by the constant struggle to attract customers and when they do get to speak to potential customers, they struggle to convince the customers to buy their products or services.
And what bugs them the most is that they just don’t understand WHY their prospective customers won’t buy from them. They don’t know what issues they need to address so that they will be able to turn prospects into customers.
Many customers tell me “I even offer them a discount on my normal rate and they still don’t sign up!”
Does that sound familiar to you? |
