Are Customer Satisfaction Surveys a Waste of Money
| |
| Customer satisfaction surveys are definitely in! Regardless of where you go or what you buy, the chances are that you will be asked to fill in a form to indicate your level of satisfaction with the product or service. Hotels, restaurants, fast food outlets, car rental companies and motor dealerships are all on the bandwagon. And we customers should be pleased that our suppliers are taking such a laudable interest in our welfare. With all this focus on customers, one would expect to observe a huge outbreak of brilliant customer service and awesome products in the marketplace. Sadly, this isn’t the case.

Reinventing Foreign Aid: "Help Us Help Ourselves"
| |
| Participants discussed how to improve aid allocation, increase its efficiency and reduce wastage.

Joaquim Alberto Chissano, President of Mozambique, agreed that the key issue is efficiency. He noted that often while donors and recipients might agree on principles and delivery terms, full implementation of aid programmes are often not smooth or timely. Problems arise sometimes for such simple reasons as the difference between when the fiscal year begins in developing countries and developed ones. The aid community must look at ways to solve problems and improve efficiency so that non performing countries become performing ones. |

10 Lessons from the Sales Candidate Who Smelled Like He Peed on Himself
| |
| It was quite the claim. I remember telling my client that the next candidate we were to interview was the best sounding candidate I had ever spoken with on the phone. Robert, the sales manager, went to the lobby to get the candidate and returned, an ashen look on his face. Ray, the candidate, followed Robert into the conference room and suddenly, I had the same ashen look on my face. It seemed that the best candidate I had ever spoken with by phone was, well, a bum! |
