			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is amazing gift from my business partner. And I had the special business gift with my name branded on the cute flash drive. That is the most special business gift I received ever. The fist time I received business gift which I probably carry it on all my life. I haven&#8217;t been given such a cute flash drive which is specially designed for me. What a fantastic personalized business gift it is.<span id="more-748"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><img src="http://business.blogtells.com/files/2008/01/business.gif" border="0" alt="Business Blog" width="195" height="90" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>Falshdealer offers the different kind of <strong><a href="http://www.flashdealer.com">custom flash drive</a></strong>. Who can imagine that? These cute flash drives comes with different kind of shapes, everything I image can be turned out to be flash drive. Even I can&#8217;t recognize a tin of cola can be a flash drive. Yes, it is a great idea to turn my a little secret data into something obviously not. A secret flash driver on my pen, who knows what I will put my data into my pen. The best part of the specially made flash drives is they are cute and they are unnoticeable as a flash driver.</p>
<p>These cute flash drivers can turn office into a little magic. I ordered our office custom flash drive. I customize the flash drive into out business logo to a key hanger. Everyone can have one. The most exciting thing is it can be used as security key and personalizedbusiness card.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many definitions of <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a>. To many, it means being friendly, delivering on time and attending promptly to the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customer</a>&#8217;s needs. While this behaviour certainly is a part of <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a>, there is more to it.<span id="more-746"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">Service</a> refers to all the activities which create a bond between organisations and their clients or <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customers</a>. This is a very broad definition, but it is fully justified because all organisations, be they manufacturers, retailers, restaurants, banks or government departments, have a <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a> component. Certainly the extent of the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a> component varies from organisation to organisation, but everyone ultimately has a role in <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a>.</p>
<p>Types of <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a></p>
<p>There are &#8216;<a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/assist/">assist</a> me&#8217; <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">services</a>:</p>
<p>* <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/assist/">assist</a> me to find and buy a house</p>
<p>* <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/assist/">assist</a> me to keep the books of my <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/">business</a></p>
<p><a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><img src="http://business.blogtells.com/files/2008/01/business.gif" border="0" alt="Business Blog" width="195" height="90" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>* <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/assist/">assist</a> me to regain my health</p>
<p>And there are &#8216;<a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/repair/">repair</a> it&#8217; <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">services</a>. <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">Customers</a> have come to expect and demand that a manufacturer&#8217;s obligation to guarantee the performance of a <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/product/">product</a> should extend further than the date of delivery. The quality of a company&#8217;s &#8216;<a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/repair/">repair</a> it&#8217; <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a> contributes significantly to its success in the marketplace.</p>
<p>The capacity of a motor manufacturer to deliver a high-quality <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/repair/">repair</a> <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a> sets it apart in its industry. Numerous research studies have shown that the average <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customer</a> who is happy with a <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/product/">product</a> tells at least three people of his satisfaction. The average <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customer</a> who has a problem with an organisation or <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/product/">product</a> will tell nine or ten people about it! The implication for manufacturing companies is that <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a> is an intrinsic part of the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/product/">product</a>.</p>
<p>There are also &#8216;guarantee it&#8217; <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">services</a>. These relate to the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/product/">product</a> itself, be it a hacksaw blade, a motor car or a grilled steak. Factors that play a part are the basic design of the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/product/">product</a>, and the quality control in its manufacture. A poor design or a badly manufactured <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/product/">product</a> leads to unhappy <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customers</a>.</p>
<p>&#8216;Help me buy it&#8217; <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">services</a> highlight the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/sales/">sales</a> activity in a firm and include the messages the company sends out to potential <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customers</a> in <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/advertising/">advertising</a> and <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/promotion/">promotion</a> programmes. How it chooses and monitors <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/sales/">sales</a> staff, intermediaries or distributors must convey a positive attitude to the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customer</a>.</p>
<p>Protect me&#8217; <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">services</a> cover after-<a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/sales/">sales</a> activities such as parts availability, warranties, complaint handling and overall responsiveness to <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customer</a> problems. These activities extend beyond &#8216;<a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/repair/">repair</a> it&#8217; <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">services</a>.</p>
<p>Yet another <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a> is that of adding value.</p>
<p>Value-added <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a> is more easily understood in terms of experience than in definition. It provides the feel of politeness and caring when delivered in a person-to-person context. The friendly waiter who calls you by your name when you sit down to a meal, or an airline stewardess who notices you are feeling a bit tired and brings you a rug, addsintangible value to the delivery of good <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a>.</p>
<p>Regardless of the type of <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a>, one thing should be abundantly clear: everything revolves around the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customer</a>.</p>
<h3>The <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/cost/">Cost</a> of Bad <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/customer-service/">Customer Service</a></h3>
<p>Some companies may think that they can get away with bad <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a> but there is no doubt that it is costly. <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/cost/">Costs</a> arise in handling complaints; in paying refunds or handling returns; in <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/legal/">legal</a> action dealing with customerprotection bodies; and in the necessary corrective public relations.</p>
<p>But indirect <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/cost/">costs</a> are likely to be far higher and will accrue from lost <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/sales/">sales</a> to those directly affected, lost <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/sales/">sales</a> to those who are told about the bad <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a> and, above all, from the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/cost/">cost</a> of acquiring new <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customers</a> toreplace those lost. The latter <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/cost/">cost</a> can be ten times greater than the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/cost/">cost</a> of retaining existing <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/customer/">customers</a> through good <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/service/">service</a>. The greatest <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/cost/">cost</a> of all is the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/cost/">cost</a> of lost opportunities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong><em>Opportunity</em></strong><strong><em> knocks</em></strong></h3>
<p>Life is filled with an abundance of opportunity. You just need to train yourself to recognise it. An Italian <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/restaurant/">restaurant</a> used to order a huge amount of mozzarella cheese from a rep for dairy products. The rep could not believe it when the owner told him all the cheese was used for just one outlet, so that evening he visited the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/restaurant/">restaurant</a>. <span id="more-741"></span>Even though he made a point of arriving early, he was still met with a long queue outside. The <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/restaurant/">restaurant</a> seated about 180 <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/people/">people</a>, so he was seated quickly. He was tended to immediately, and the reasonably priced meal was served in record time. He saw that the tables turned within an hour and that there were also a huge amount of take-away orders being collected. After visiting the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/restaurant/">restaurant</a> on numerous other occasions, the rep concluded that good service, a well-run operation that allowed quick service, a good energy, and reasonably priced, quality food resulted in huge mozzarella orders and a healthy bank balance. In fact, it wasn&#8217;t long before that same proprietor opened a chain of pizza <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/restaurant/">restaurants</a> that he later franchised.</p>
<p><a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><img src="http://business.blogtells.com/files/2008/01/business.gif" border="0" alt="Business Blog" width="195" height="90" align="right" /></a></p>
<h3><strong><em>Spend a little</em></strong></h3>
<p>Have you ever thought why <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/people/">people</a> actually buy things? The following are important reasons why shoppers spend their money&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>They are tempted (look how many sweets are dropped into their shopping basket while they wait to be served by a cashier).</li>
<li>They love <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/sales/">sales</a> (try to price at least one of your products as a &#8217;sale&#8217; item).</li>
<li>They comfort shop.</li>
<li>They are lazy (<a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/people/">people</a> generally tend to buy what is readily available).</li>
<li>They just love convenience!</li>
<li>They&#8217;re bored — or unhappy.</li>
<li>They like what they see. Sometimes <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/people/">people</a> are just too lazy to shop around so they buy what they see, so you need to ensure your products are always visible.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong><em>Knowing what your customer wants</em></strong></h3>
<p>Reassure your customers that you know what they need. I once saw a hairdresser whose advert read: &#8216;We understand colour and style&#8217; — now that&#8217;s encouraging from a hair salon!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>How long does it take for a customer to forget you?</h3>
<p><strong><em>The 90-day test</em></strong></p>
<p>Statistics report that it takes 90 days to break a habit such as smoking or biting your nails. Well, what do you know, it also takes 90 days for a customer to forget you. <span id="more-738"></span>Never mind how long it took to build the relationship, or how great your service was, if you don&#8217;t make a note to follow up - even if it&#8217;s just a courtesy call, a newsletter or a card - you&#8217;re gone and forgotten in just three months. Your product will be lost in an out-of-reach corner of the shop.</p>
<p><a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><img src="http://business.blogtells.com/files/2008/01/business.gif" border="0" alt="Business Blog" width="195" height="90" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>So all those leads you followed up on or <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/sales/">sales</a> you closed in February need to be serviced at the end of May. Companies spend a fortune sourcing new clients when, very often, all they need to do is just look after their existing clients.</p>
<h3><em><a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><strong>Business</strong></a> ethics</em></h3>
<p><strong><em>A matter of manners</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Millions of rands of potential income is lost daily because of bad <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><strong>business</strong></a> ethics and - quite simply - bad manners.</li>
<li>People don&#8217;t return calls.</li>
<li> They don&#8217;t turn up for appointments.</li>
<li>They leave telephone messages that are garbled and nonsensical.</li>
<li>They don&#8217;t follow through on their promises, such as quotations.</li>
<li>They charge too much!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>Do yourself a favour&#8230;</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Make sure you return all calls.</li>
<li>Speak clearly, both on the phone and in person.</li>
<li>Follow up on all leads.</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t give up if someone doesn&#8217;t return your call. I receive may calls where I can&#8217;t hear the name or the number is distorted. People also forget, and some are just too busy. Most of the people with whom I do <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><strong>business</strong></a> are persistent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know since when everybody in the neighborhood starts to care about the economic. Am I going to secure my stock market investment? How I get off the trouble of lapping mortgage payment? Do I qualify a low insurance premium? When the economic is not doing well, everyone is a seeking a trouble shooting target.</p>
<p>It is time to seek professional advice from professionals. Professional advice from financial analyst like you&#8217;re your stock broker, banker and lawyers is expensive. It must be out of mind, when we run low on our income. Let us look our traditional cheap way to solve our economic and financial burden somewhere else. Financial times, financial reports from TV and newspaper are hard to understand. Watching all these data and analysis will probably get confused, none of these are designed to help non-professionals.<span id="more-729"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><img src="http://business.blogtells.com/files/2008/01/business.gif" border="0" alt="Business Blog" width="195" height="90" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>The better idea is to look the practical financial articles like banktime. They gather a lot of wise mind here and guide you directly into a more practical way to get over the bad economic and financial times. Article like the simple and easy understanding thestock market secret weapon “short sale”, it is the first hand info to get the small stock holder to smartly handle their stocks on the market without a fat compensation for a big advice from stock broker. Or several simple strategies are given on <strong><a href="http://banktime.com/home-equity/">home equity</a></strong> for home owner to get rid of the risk of foreclosure: negotiate with the mortgage holder for a better interest rate; prolong the loan term; and a better installation. There are also great articles to keep your credit card paid and credit flat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a member the whole society&#8217;s contributor, you are working so hard on your profession. We are workers, no matter any kind of business banking, construction, hospital or IT.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My bank manager tells me that &#8216;one of the main reasons for many new ventures failing is inadequate <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/financial/">financial</a> planning. In their enthusiasm, the players often overlook the necessity to look at contingency planning.&#8217;<span id="more-723"></span></p>
<h3><em>Do yourself a favour&#8230;</em></h3>
<p>The minimum requirements for any new venture should include:</p>
<ul>
<li>a sound <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/business-plans/">business plan</a></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><img src="http://business.blogtells.com/files/2008/01/business.gif" border="0" alt="Business Blog" width="195" height="90" align="right" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>a solid <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/budgeting/">budget</a> and cash-flow analysis</li>
<li> a break-even analysis</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A lack of any of the above, says my bank manager, very often results in insufficient capital being raised to cover the period until the <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><strong>business</strong></a> starts to break even.</li>
<li>Hard work, a good administration and <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/marketing/">marketing</a> team, and a product that you have researched extensively are also essential elements.</li>
</ul>
<h3><em>But there&#8217;s more to it than just money</em></h3>
<p>I agree entirely with this sensible approach and fully appreciate the importance of sound <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/category/financial/">financial</a> planning. It would do us well to remember that many financially stable individuals and organisations have failed to give courage its true worth.</p>
<p>I believe that it is capital, imagination and courage that make a good <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/"><strong>business</strong></a> even better. I also believe that when you share, there is <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/enough-for-everyone/"><big>enough for everyone</big></a>, and when there&#8217;s <a href="http://business.blogtells.com/tag/enough-for-everyone/"><big>enough for everyone</big></a> you join people together, and your chances of survival are far greater.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the matter of mathematics and of logic. I&#8217;ve read some fascinating stories of how, over time and with persistence, something small can grow into something of titanic proportions. Take a look at some of the following insights&#8230;</p>
<p>If you duplicated one grain of rice on every square of the chess board, how much rice would you have once you&#8217;ve covered the board? The answer: enough rice to feed the entire world.</p>
<p>If you saved one rand a day from the age of 18 until you reach retirement at 60, with compound interest, how much would you have accumulated? The answer: R1 000 000! Yes, one million!</p>
