Conference Centre 23

Filed under: Biz, Pastime, Your Commerce @ 12:14 am

When selecting a conference centre for your organisation, the centre that you choose will inform your brand name. What is the subject matter and the emotion you want the people left with? A lot of conferences look at function over Panache when selecting a venue but how does this reflect your message for the conference?

What is the impression on the people as well as your brand name? If you are trying to convey importance, change, growth etc then consider how your conference centre reflects this. What about Flair? Don’t have a conference about details at a substandard venue.

From the second the visitors get there, what is their first mental picture? Panache, quality, change? The tone of conference will be influenced by this. The conference environs can affect the work at a conference. Do you need external ‘break out’ areas? Is bigger better or is intimacy essential? How are you balancing these? Even the sounds within a conference centre will have a subtle influence on the attendees. The sound of heels on parquetry conveys different feelings to say a carpeted floor.

Scents & sounds are always emotive. We draw on our own experiences. As people are parking their vehicles what is their experience? Does it inspire creativity? What about the food quality at the venue? Does it have to be great? Is minimalism something you need to convey? so how is that reflected in the surrounds & the conference experience in general.

Affiliate Marketing - Tried and True

Filed under: Your Commerce @ 2:41 pm

Creating a home business is never easy; however, marketing online using affiliate programs as a stream of income is one of the simplest as well as most economical ways to begin earning an income from home.

What is affiliate marketing? Simply put, it is when an online marketer promotes a company’s products and receives a percentage of all sales that result from this promotion. The online marketer may have a website, blog, and/or mailing list that he or she can promote various products through. Because the vast majority of affiliate programs are free to join, the costs associated with this type of online business are minimal. This is one of the reasons affiliate marketing has become so popular as an alternative to the more traditional type of home-based business.

Affiliate marketing has many other advantages for the work at home entrepreneur as well. Because there are so many companies who now have an online presence, there is a plethora of industries from which to choose. The secret to affiliate marketing success is to uncover niche markets whose products are in demand and then promote to that particular market segment those companies whose products fill that demand. The cost of doing business online is so small compared to a brick-and-mortar business, an entrepreneur can built a series of niche websites promoting a variety of affiliate programs and using various online marketing techniques can soon develop streams of income from their sites - all done on a very economical level.

Best of all, once the initial work is done, most of the websites then become an almost automatic stream of income. Content does need to be added as well as updated, but once a website is up and running, the work at home entrepreneur is then free to explore and develop additional niche markets. Each website then adds to his or her income stream on a regular basis.

There is a period of time before any income can be realized, but once profits from affiliate program marketing begin to flow, the secret to continued success from affiliate marketing is to increase the number of websites and related content so that the income is coming from several sources.

It’s Customer “Service” Stupid: Delivering Customer Service Training That Sticks

Filed under: Your Commerce @ 8:32 pm

“Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense.”

This Ralph Waldo Emerson quote opens one of the most impressive works on customer service: Michael LeBoeuf’s book How To Win Customers and Keep Them For Life. I am a fan of the book, and of the man, who has become a good friend and mentor. What makes such a difference in Michael’s writing is that, while written over ten years ago, it remains consistent and relevant to us today.

Teaching customer service should be easy. After all, it is common sense to treat customers as we would want to be treated. Developing or delivering a program that helps people understand that proves more difficult. That’s because at the core of every customer service training initiative must be a clear understanding of the motives and purpose that drives us, accompanied by a clear strategy for delivering exceptional service that not only wins customers but also helps you keep them for life. Many companies have customer service program in place (or at least address the need for one). But most focus on practices rather than the principles that make them successful. Customer service training is often driven reactively by the need to solve immediate service problems. As a result, we fail to identify, promote, and train employees on the core components that drive service from the heart, not just the brain. No customer service program is complete until it addresses the integration of the following components:

Reliability

Consistent performance is what customers want most. They want service they can depend on. More specifically this means that they want you to do what you say you are going to do… do it when you say you’re going to do it… and do it right the first time. If you can also get it done on time, you are being reliable. A reliable individual is worthy of reliance or trust, and trust builds long-term relationships in personal and professional life.

In business, sports, or in any field of endeavor, consistent, high-level performance is the major difference between the runners and the champions. Teach people to be reliable and you are teaching them to be winners.

Credibility

One thing customers will readily pay for is peace of mind. We want security, integrity, and the assurance that if there is a problem, it will be promptly handled at no extra cost. If we buy products, we want them to be safe and guaranteed. If we buy services, we want them to be free from danger, risk, or doubt and kept confidential. We don’t want hidden agendas, hard-sell techniques, extra charges, and contracts with “fine print”. Such is the nature of credibility, and it brings customers back. A credible person is worthy of confidence and a company that proves itself credible gains the respect of their customers, and often of their competitors. Teach people to be credible and you are teaching them respect.

Attractiveness

Anything the customer sees, feels, touches, hears, or smells concerning your business is shaping their opinion of your service for better or worse. Appearances may be deceiving, but customers draw a lot of conclusions about the service quality on the basis of what they see. Look at the business through your customer’s eyes, and make the effort to put forth a first-class image. Being attractive means to be pleasing to the eye as well as to the mind. It means having the power to attract. When you teach people to dress smart and maintain a pleasant work environment and appearance you are empowering them to provide great service.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness has to do with more than the speed at which you provide a service. Being responsive means being accessible, available, and willing to help customers whenever they have a problem. A responsive individual is ready to respond and react to suggestions, influences, appeals, or efforts on behalf of the customer. Teach people to be responsive and you are preparing them to be flexible.

Empathy

Customers should be treated as unique individuals, with their unique personalities, wants, and reasons to buy. If you treat them as such and solve their unique problems, they will continue to be your customer. Showing empathy means putting yourself in the customer’s shoes. It means trying objectively to grasp their point of view, and feeling what they feel. It means listening intensely, asking the right questions, speaking their language, and tailoring your services to help them as best you can. When you show empathy you dig deeper into your own self and attribute part of you to your interactions with others. When you teach people empathy you are helping them to really care.

When these elements are in place you will see a change in the attitudes and behavior of your service providers. Start with these principles as a strong foundation for creating action-ready training programs and you will see incredible returns on your training investment. You will also win and keep the customers who ultimately pay the bill.

4 Things Your Clients Want From Your Company

Filed under: Your Commerce @ 12:52 pm

Sure, all clients are different. They have different kinds of strengths, weaknesses, cultures and goals. Even what blocks their efficiency and growth (blind spots) is different. Davis, Kingsley & Company has conducted hundreds of interviews and there are four strong themes that always emerge.

Listen to me. This is the Big Daddy of client desires. Your clients want you to listen
to them. The implications of this theme lead to a variety of creative programs that
will put you in a listening position with your clients. While surveys, at times, can be
useful, we have found they do not satisfy a client’s need to be heard.

Show me you’ve listened. If your clients take the time to speak up and offer their
opinions about their experience with your company, your company must show a
response. This doesn’t mean thank you notes. This means showing the client that
changes have been made. Showing them that their opinions made a difference.
This is another opportunity to be creative about building relations with clients.

Serve, don’t sell. Each client thinks they are different and unique. They also know
they have needs and they know your company has some solutions. Clients want
their service providers to listen to their needs and offer a response to the need when
appropriate. This is different from selling although the activity may end with a sale
being made. They do not want to hear your sales pitches just because you have a
need to book more business or cross-sell.

Understand me. Every client thinks they are unique. You must do research to
understand the problems your clients face from an individual standpoint as well as
from company and industry perspectives. Demonstrating that you understand their
unique personal and company concerns can be one of your key service
differentiators.

Davis, Kingsley & Company can help you design and execute an effective client
satisfaction assessment program to address these themes.

Provide mechanisms to listen to your clients. Companies hire us if they want candid
and honest feedback from their clients. Our outsider status lets individuals talk
freely about whatever is on their minds.

Be creative about demonstrating that you have listened. We work with companies to
help them respond to the positive feedback to any problems uncovered. Then we
make sure their clients are aware of the changes. After all, it was their opinions that
offered the insights.

Build good relationships; it’s still primary. It’s common knowledge now that most
complex sales are consummated after solid relationships are built. And we all know
the best relationships are built on trust and respect. Davis, Kingsley & Company
helps companies create opportunities that allow their clients to trust and respect
them.

How is your organization doing? What would your clients say to us?

You Deserve a Check Today

Filed under: Your Commerce @ 9:33 am

Perhaps the fastest and easiest way to prosper online is to market products and services as an affiliate.

While there have been many an article and book written about how to be an affiliate, most overlook one very important aspect of the affiliate process.

That aspect is to make sure you get paid!

By way of background, the term “affiliate” on the Internet can be compared to a commissioned salesperson offline. As an affiliate, you do the selling and get paid when a sale is made.

The beauty part is that you don’t have to worry about creating products, having a merchant account where you collect payments, doing customer service, and the other things that product creators have to do.

You just sell and collect your money. Simple and effective.

And there are literally hundreds of thousands of products you can promote. From A to Z, if you can imagine it, you can sell it as an affiliate.

If you want to learn how to succeed as an affiliate in
10 simple steps, please consider my SHORT report called “How To Succeed As An Affiliate for Under $100″. It’s the same process I use and will show you how to succeed as an affiliate without busting your budget. Use this link to learn more.

http://www.realworldtactics.com/cmd.php?Clk=1057679

Over the years, becoming an affiliate of a top selling site is the most proven path to success. I recommend you learn how to do this, because being an affiliate is smart business, even if you create your own products.

But there can be a ** hidden problem ** when it comes to being an affiliate. That problem is making sure you get paid!

Here are three ways to make sure that you get paid what is owed you, and you get it on time.

====> KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT PAYMENTS

Read the fine print! KNOW when to expect payment. Also, know the date to write and call if your payment has not arrived. Keep a calendar with due dates marked by program name.

====> WHAT’S THE COOKIE POLICY

A cookie is a little file that is placed on the computer of the person who clicks your affiliate link. Being able to identify this cookie is how the affiliate program knows that it’s you who made the sale.

While this is completely automatic for you (all you need do is promote your affiliate link) you must know the “cookie policy” of the program you are promoting in order to protect yourself.

EXAMPLE: Some very large sites only use a one-day cookie. That means that visitors you send to them today, but buy tomorrow, do NOT get credited to you!

This seems to be changing about every 5 minutes, so be sure you are up to date on the cookie policy of your program. You KNOW the value of a more durable cookie … so pay close attention to this one.

====> LIFETIME COMMISSIONS & EXCLUSIVITY

Lifetime on the Net means as long as the company is in business, and your link is sending buyers, you are paid.

Exclusivity means that to sell my widget, you cannot sell other widgets. Very few programs require this, but if you find one that does, think long and hard before joining.

Lifetime commissions are very important because they
mean that links you put out there today and get clicked on months from now will still pay you the commissions you deserve. Look for Lifetime Commission programs here.

http://www.lifetimecommissions.com

You work very hard to participate in the affiliate programs that you believe will do the best for you. You deserve payment as agreed.

Take these steps to ensure you get what you earned and remember that agreements prevent disagreements, so do take time to know the policies of any program you are going to promote.

By taking a few simple steps in the beginning, you can establish affiliate relationships with great companies that will pay you very well and last for years.

And THAT is a beautiful thing indeed!

Top Adsense Internet Affiliate: How Big Can The Check Really Get?

Filed under: Your Commerce @ 4:18 pm

Many people only half believe all those stories about those big checks that many a top Adsense Internet affiliate claim to bring in. Others don’t believe them at all, period.

But of course this does not really change anything. The truth is that one of the reasons why the Google Adsense program is so popular is the fact that top Adsense Internet affiliates are able to make such a good living from the program.

Since Google started allowing their affiliates to reveal their earnings without going into details, there have been some amazing revelations. One top Adsense Internet affiliate revealed how they were on course to earning a million dollars annually from Adsense. Many others have revealed pay checks that run into tens of thousands of dollars.

So how big can a top Adsense Internet affiliate check get? Get ready to hear the amazing answer. The answer to that question is that there is really no limit. The nature of businesses on the net is that setting up usually takes a lot of time but after a site has started generating profits it can pretty much run on auto pilot with very little of any interference from the owner. What most web masters do is that they immediately embark on setting up yet another site. In fact if the method of marketing chosen is promotional articles, the traffic and thus the income from a previously set-up site can continue to grow on auto-pilot for many years as the viral effect impacts on the articles.

What this means is that every new site that a top Adsense Internet affiliate manages to successfully set up increases their revenue significantly. Meaning that their Adsense revenue can continue to grow rapidly for many years. That is why there is really no limit to how big a top Adsense Internet affiliate check can get to be.
