Your breath catches in your throat — at last, an interview! Elated, you write down the time and place of the interview, who to ask for, say thanks, and hang up!But, wait, it’s such short notice, and you haven’t been interviewed for ages. Too, you never did get around to practicing. How can you possibly prepare in time to perform well? You hesitate to call them back to reschedule—that might not look good. You feel the anxiety building, even a little panic. What should you do?Here are three ea
The more a customer is involved in your business, the less likely they are to go elsewhere. If they have a vested interest in your business, they are less likely to easily turn to a competitor. For instance, think about the options you have with your bank. Many banks have a significant number of online options available to you. With online bill pay systems, you can make payments through your bank without ever having to buy a check or a stamp. This is a great service for you the customer. But it takes time and effort to input all that information online to set up those account to enable you to make those payments. Once you have that set up, you are not likely to suddenly decide you would rather have your account somewhere else. It will take a lot of consideration on your part before you throw away that time you have invested to go to another bank. Your bank is counting on that.
So, how do you get your clients involved? This is the “Holy Grail” quest in your business. You have to look at how you interact with customers and decide how you can get them involved with your business. In Direct Sales, there are two immediate things you can do to start connecting with your existing customers and increase your sales.

Myth #1. It is only applicable to big business and government.The common misconception is that Cost Benefit Analysis is only applicable to those companies or government departments that have a vast store of funds and have specialists to call on to pump out complex recommendations. Recommendations that relate to capital purchases and allocation of funds amongst competing projects or programs.The truth is, that this method is equally applicable to small and large businesses or any size in between.

The late Phil Crosby of the Zero Defects fame tells of how as quality manager he once spent time explaining to his boss in sophisticated statistical terms how the defects they found in the shipments to a customer (which had resulted in complaints by the customer, and the need for field repairs) were inevitable and indeed much lower than their competitors could manage. As the story goes, the boss had patiently listened to his excuses and explanations and when he had finished replied, "Philip, somewhere in this world

Are your clients taking up to 60 days to pay their invoices? This is a very common situation and a significant cause of stress to many business owners. Unfortunately, having a profitable business does not necessarily mean that you have a reliable cash flow. Quite the opposite, many times a business may have great profits and a very unreliable cash flow.How can this be? Simple. Your clients are paying you in 60 days, but you need to pay employees every week, rent and suppliers. Although the numbers may work i

Payroll software is a tool to manage all the accounting needs of companies, small businesses, multinational corporations, non-profit organizations, and other institutions. It is the easiest way to calculate timely and accurate processing of employee salaries, bonuses, tax withholdings, wages, and tax deductions. Payroll software is also the best choice to keep track of weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual pay checks and payroll tax-related forms. Some payroll software makes use of the existing applications or can
Your first step should be to let them know what you are doing on a regular basis. Many businesses do this through a newsletter. Technology makes this even easier (and much less expensive) by using email for your delivery. This may seem too simple, but a newsletter keeps your customers involved with you personally. You keep your information in front of them on a monthly basis. So, when they need your product or service, your name is the one they remember. It is common knowledge that a client needs to have ten points of contact with you on an annual basis for you to keep them as a client. A monthly newsletter will cover that with no problem.
A second step you can take is to develop a database on your clients. This can be done just by asking your client to fill out a simple customer care card. Go beyond the normal contact questions of mailing address and phone number. Ask them to give you their birthdays and anniversaries. Also encourage them to make a wish list of all of your products they would like to have. Use this information to offer them birthday specials on the products they want. Or call their spouse to offer suggestions for anniversary gifts. Make their shopping simple, and they will keep coming back to you.
A third step to keep the client involved is some version of a punch card. (You can find a great customer care card/punch card combination at thebooster.com.) Many businesses use punch card to keep their customers coming back to them. I have seen them used for anything from pizzas to oil changes. Consider your product line. What would be more effective for you? Should you give them a free gift if they spend a certain dollar amount punching their card in, say, $20 increments? Would
