Take Note
| |
| I would like to focus on something, that at first glance, may appear rather trivial. In fact it might seem so inane that you are wondering why I am even writing about it.
It’s ‘note taking’.
I learnt a very salient, if not embarrassing, lesson in my early 20’s. When in my first sales consulting role I turned up to a sales meeting with a prospective client with no obvious note taking materials. Up until that time I had never been told to take notes by my managers. I hadn’t thought about talking notes myself. I relied on my memory. |

Know Your Customers - Or Perish!
| |
| Most companies (large and small) don’t know their customers very well. Certainly, some people within the company usually have intimate knowledge of key contacts, information, history, and details about customers, but that information isn’t institutionalized as often as it should be – which means it can leave with your salespeople! Remember, you own this data.
To that fact, add this one: The most valuable component of any company’s assets is its customer data. Forget your balance sheet, long-term assets, and short-term assets. Without your customers, and the information regarding those customers, everything else is meaningless. Clearly, some framework of capturing customer data is vital for business success. Capturing and using that data is called “Customer Relationship Management.” |

Community Pages and Good Landing Pages
| |
| Assuming a company is actually selling products and/or services and not just monetizing a blog, we treat "landing pages" as the places to induce action (and give the most vital information to further the chain of events leading to action. While blogs are wonderful and we endorse the use of them, chances are it's safe to say you didn't start a company just as an excuse to blog. When a person looking for (x) services lands on the company blog, they will most likely scour through a few posts and not see the information they need to know (pricing, etc) and back out. A blog unquestionably adds value but it generally will not produce the kind of information to immediately induce a successful outcome from a new visitor looking specifically for your services NOW. |
