Good Customer Service Sleeps with the Dinosaurs!
What has happened to providing good customer service? From
mortgage lenders, banks, real-estate, telecommunications,
and department stores etc. Customer service gets overall
grade of D or F. I’m convinced that if any business wants
to increase their revenue, this is an area that needs major
work and all business could improve. If this area alone is
adequately pursued, it could be highly profitable. How you
may ask, profitable by doing what so many others are
failing to do, by providing good customer service. While
working to maintain that all important customers you
already have and acquire new customers. Read more »

Get Off the Sales Rollercoaster Forever!
I had never sold a thing in my entire adult life. Yet I
found myself with a list of accounts and a whole lot of
unused inventory.

I just inherited another salesman’s territory where he had
spent his last 30 years selling radio commercials. He
introduced me to each of his customers and walked into the
sunset of retirement, perhaps a bit relieved.

Internet Marketing Takes the “Fear” out of Selling!
Most of us wish we could control our destiny. We want to
choose a business model which gives us the least headaches
and the maximum returns. One of the things you need to
realize from the very beginning is internet marketers are
competing in cyberspace with other similar businesses for
the same end result: sales. So, how do you get a jump on
the competition? You need some excellent attention
grabbing phrases; ones that virtually guarantee potential
customers’ curiosity will be aroused when they see your
site. Read more »

How many hours have you spent this week with prospective
clients who are great at draining your time and energy but
can’t seem to find the money or desire to hire you? I’ve
had my weeks when the number is larger than I’d like to
admit. Consequently, several years ago I implemented one
strategy that has been my secret weapon in my client
cultivation process — I use my website to disqualify as
many prospects as I can.

Forex Trading & The Science of Getting Rich

I first became aware of “the science of getting rich” a number of years ago when someone sent me a reprint of a book of that name by Wallace Wattle.

The book is a very “dry” read but the author claimed that getting rich was an exacting science which means that if anyone applied the rules – to the letter, then the outcome, by scientific definition, would be a true replication. Read more »

The price of gold is at an all-time high at the moment so if you have any odd or unwanted gold hanging around the house, take it to the nearest jeweller and you will probably be surprised at how much they will pay you.  Think about it – that old gold anklet really never looked good on you, did it?

I have been writing about the different business seminars I have visited and I am reporting on many of them over at my blogging for money site.  There you can find out about the best opportunities and avoid internet scams. If you are looking at Cat 5 then you will know about networking.

The first time I went to an internet marketing seminar I heard about an interesting and lucrative niche market that would never have occurred to me.  It was the area of truck accessories, now heavily exploited but five years ago this group was not well served online. And that is the key to niche marketing: thinking caps on!

In between my recent visits to business seminars I have had the happy task of shopping for a ring, after accepting a proposal on Christmas Day (aaah!). So the research into the price of rings has begun. Buying online may be sensible, but I love going to the shops and looking at the whole range – even diamond pendants. Yes, I know I am looking for a ring but a new necklace to match would be nice.

I have recently heard that the premium levels for car and home insurance here in the UK are actually falling for the first time in years. Despite dire threats from the companies, the availability of online comparison sites means policyholders are much more likely to shop around for a better quote.

Being just a girlie I was not sure about the definition of the search term billet grille. Apparently this refers to ways that you can Customize your vehicle, should you feel the need to do so.  Me, I prefer my car to be anonymous in case I am spotted doing something I should not be doing.

 How many times have you searched on the term – plasma cutter this week? The likely answer is ‘none’, and unless your business requires specialist high precision cutting equipment you  are unlikely to do so.  However there is an active sector that does seek this information and the keywords are valuable.

Did you know that the parents of our future queen (well that is what everyone is predicting) made their fortune from selling all sorts of party goods like kids party invitations? It is true – Kate Middleton’s parents set the business up from home and they still run it hands-on to this day.  Maybe that is why Prince William’s Hooray Henry friends looked down on them: people who have to work for a living are an alien species to them.

Apparently January is the boom month for diet products following over indulgence over the festive season.  This is a great opportunity for money making sites promoting Miracle burn
products and other supplements and miracle cures. If you do not have a weight loss site, get one established in time for next January.

I was really surprised to see how many times I came across bustiers during the holidays. There was a jewellery holder shaped like one, a handbag on the same theme and several guests at parties I attended were wearing them.  They are very flattering, albeit costly.

Some market commentators say the profitability of the Credit Card For Business really began a quarter of a century ago when the banking industry succeeded in being able to charge uncapped rates of interest after years of regulation. So few customers realise the full cost of their card use, and even fewer can be bothered to change companies and the card providers simply carry on taking the money. The actual cost of credit is often far greater than it appears, and you can not only find this out but also shop around for a better deal at Credit Card Search Engine. Use your head and turn the tables on the big firms.
