Article Check - You Have Huge Amounts Of Data - So Why Are You Starved Of Knowledge?
Top executives and managers in other industries know it is not only acceptable, but necessary to benchmark with other industries to obtain process improvements. For example, a major hotel chain desires to improve guest services. This chain not only has other hotel chains to examine for comparisons, but also can and should look at theme parks or retail corporations. Instead of comparing hotels to hotels, the hotel’s guest service policies are compared with the guest service policies of theme parks, restaurants, and others. Valuable lessons are gleaned from this benchmarking process. While the

You’ve got your business up and running and sales are coming in and you are even making a profit. Now is the time to step your marketing up a bit. How about a loyalty program to encourage more sales and more customers?So what is a loyalty program then? It’s a group of incentives you put in place to encourage your customers to buy more from you than they originally intended. Here are a few ideas for you.* Coupons: One of the easiest ways to encourage more sales is to give away coupons that give you a discount on the next purchase. The coupons can be in your ezine, pac
We are becoming more and more divided by technology. Your customers' dread interactive voice-response, the on-hold music that doubles the annoyance of queuing, the codes and passwords, are all barriers to effective communication.
The rage among your customers has reached an intensity, which is now causing great damage to your relationship with your customers. We are now dehumanising our customer relationships even more than conventional advertising ever did, the very objective of which was to do the exact opposite!
Your customers appear to be invisible to you except as computer generated stereotypes, while your organisation is viewed as remote and unreachable causing stress and suspicion rather than customer satisfaction.
According to a recent study by database software specialist Data Vantage. Fully eighty nine percent of service providers are failing to deliver the seamless service your customers want.
Causing damage to your brands, customers to defect, thus putting more pressure on sales.
It would appear that most customer information in to days service organisations, expensively acquired, is wasted, and what does get through to Management is contaminated, diluted or otherwise unusable.
All this results in huge amounts of waste. Companies are drowning in data however, they are, oddly enough, starved of knowledge!
All resulting from a complete misunderstanding of that little word "Communication"!
It would appear, understandably I hasten to add, that one of the main reasons this frustration and anger occurs, is when one of your customers calls your 'phone centre to complain about a bill and then they receive a threatening reminder through the post a week later!

Why choose from the best culinary schools? It seems as though there's a restaurant on every corner these days. They cater to every taste: fine dining, casual, ethnic traditions, even vegetarian and organic fare. The affluent baby boomers are into leisure time and travel, both of which mean eating out, and in this age of the global village, more and more people are traveling on business. In the competitive food service industry, a restaurant's reputation can rest on the skills of the chef - learning your skills from the best school will make you one of the chefs that a restaurant owner will s

Prescription DrugsPharmaceutical sales jobs can be divided into a few different sectors. The most important sector will be prescription drugs where most of the action will be. This is by far where the majority of pharmaceutical sales reps work in with the main target customer base being physicians. Depending on the type of drugs promoted, sales forces target family physicians and/or specialist doctors as their main customers.Some giant pharmaceutical companies like Glaxo and Merck have large numbers of promoted products requiring several sales force divisions within e

Of course my wife said I didn't know what I was doing and my friends also were skeptical and thought that I was completely wasting my time.Yet I was on a mission and determined to build a business and make it a success and build it on my own. Sure I wanted to have the extra cash rolling in, but money wasn't the only reason I decided to start. I simply couldn't stomach the idea of working for someone else for the rest of my life in a job that I hated.So I said who cares what other people think and I began working part time out of my basement. I chose affiliate programs on the i

Imagine arriving at your home or business only to find it burned to the ground. For too many people, that scenario is a frightening reality. To just about any home or business owner, a fire is the most detrimental of all disasters. Charred remains of furniture, equipment and personal belongings stand as reminders of what used to be. Even worse, many items may be burned beyond recognition.While losing everything you own seems like a bleak forecast, all is not always lost. In fact, getting through the fire’s aftermath depends on how organized you are before disaster strikes.Chanc
In reality you and your customers are being divided by technology, you relationship, conducted through computers has become so depersonalised as to be dangerous to the very well being of your brands and business.
And sad to say any new channel of communication simply increases management's' opportunity to repeat mistakes. For example if you send an email, your call centre will not have seen it! As we said earlier, all resulting from a complete misunderstanding of that word "communication".
So let us examine that word ‘communication’ a little more closely. A dictionary definition of communications is as follows:
Communication. n. 1. transmitting 2. A giving or exchange of information, etc. by talk, writing b) the information so given 3. A means of communicating 4. The science of transmitting information.
The interesting fact is the expression ‘the exchange of information’ .
Communication is not a one-way flow of information. Talking at or to someone does not imply successful communication. This only occurs when the receiver actually receives the message, which the sender intended to send. Message rejection, misinterpretation and misunderstanding are the opposite of effective communication.
However most marketing communication today depends on a single-step communications model. A message sender – the message – receiver.
This basic model assumes that the sender is active, whilst the receiver is inactive or passive and the message is comprehended properly. In this case if the message is creatively prepared and sent through the right medium and, if it cuts through all the other noise, and then if it is decoded correctly the message has done its job!
