Building the Business of Your Dreams — Customer Service: Your Opportunity to Shine!

Posted on 25. Jun, 2010 by admin in Customer Service

Building the Business of Your Dreams — Customer Service: Your Opportunity to Shine!


“You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution.”


I find myself telling my ten year old that several times a week. This morning, I realized how much it truly applies to me, my consultants, and our businesses as we move our lives and businesses forward.


I have come to realize that some days (and for some people) it seems much easier to get caught up in the dramas of life. And while people certainly do have valid concerns and objections — they sometimes do (myself included) complain about seemingly ridiculous things.


What defines us, though, is how we deal with these issues and situations as they greet us.


When an issue or problem is brought to our attention, how can we make it our second nature to roll up our mental sleeves and quickly find a creative resolution? This, instead of avoiding an unhappy customer’s calls and pretending (or wishing) we hadn’t checked our email!


Believe me, I realize that no one wants to hear someone complain about their


products and services, or even themselves. I certainly don’t! But the secret to ultimate customer service success lies in handling these situations quickly and flexibly — without getting defensive or paralyzed and with a smile.


People will always have issues. And, some complaints certainly seem more justified (and easier to manage) than others.


Ideally of course, we would prefer to never have an unhappy customer (or an unhappy consultant)! But we are humans and, thus, there is the margin for human error in everything we do.


Unfortunately, we often feel personally attacked by people’s issues and complaints. And when this happens, understandably, we want to run the other way or to dig in and defend ourselves. However, while possibly providing temporary relief, either of these options can make the situation much worse, and neither of these options will provide the excellent customer service that your customer is seeking and that will actually propel your business toward success.


Whether it is a lost package, a misplaced order, a damaged item, or a simple misunderstanding often times the complaint will be completely out of your control, and yet you are required to deal with it with as much grace and diplomacy as possible. Your own mental health, as well as the health of your business depends on it!


The great news is that a simple shift in your perspective will not only empower you to deal with these situations like a pro, it will actually improve your business, as well as your professional relationships. Surprisingly, you may even find you begin to welcome these challenges instead of wanting to run the other way, give up on your business, or turn off that ringer.


Complaints and criticisms are a huge blessing to our businesses.


Truly.


They shine light on a potential weak link — sometimes in our business procedures, policies or product, and sometimes even in ourselves. Complaints and criticisms provide an excuse for pausing and for introspection. In a hurried world, they make us stop, breathe, and rethink, as they test our determination, creativity, and patience!


When unwarranted they allow us to recognize that you know what? We really are doing a great job. During these times they can act as the messenger: we really need to ease up on ourselves!


When we do give ourselves a break, we let our defenses down and are able to deal with the situation without feeling attacked. We can laugh to ourselves about how ridiculous the complaint is, while we do what we need to, to make our customer happier about us and our business! In the end, once the crisis is deflated and negotiated, it becomes a touchstone. We are able to see how well we handled the situation and take a moment to feel good about ourselves as ever-evolving business women.


When warranted, these complaints point out crucial areas where we as individuals, as professionals, or as companies can improve. Certainly, no one likes to hear or learn that they could have done something better, or differently, to achieve a more favorable result. Yet, we all want ourselves and our businesses to be the very best that they can be. So viewing these, proverbial, bumps along the road as blessings, and as areas that we have the power to take action and improve, can alleviate (or at least lessen) our potential for paralysis and fear. Seeing complaints as gifts allows you to realize: this situation is going to be solved and my business will be better and stronger because of it.


Our personal character as well as the integrity of our businesses are organic…and become strengthened and enhanced each time each adversity is tackled quickly: head-on with honesty and grace.


Recognizing that your customers’ problems are always opportunities to provide stellar customer service, will allow you to set yourself, as well as your business apart from the rest.


Time is of the essence. An unhappy customer generally just needs to be heard. The moment you reach out, listen, and then offer to help them, they will begin to relax and the entire situation will begin to deflate. And you do not have to already have the solution the moment you receive (or make) the call!


Listen carefully. Realize you are part of the solution and can listen without taking their complaint personally. Realize that what they say has the power to make you and your business better.


Empathize with your customer (even if you don’t agree with them!) If nothing else, you can surely understand that they don’t feel good about the situation.


If you aren’t sure how you can begin to make the situation better ask them! A simple, what can I do to make this better for you?…will go a long way.


Often, a customer just wants to feel heard and know that you are willing to help. When you carefully listen to what someone is saying — the answer of what you need to do will generally rise to the top. And if you need to consult with someone else, do that before making promises you may not want to (or be able to keep). Don’t feel pressured to know everything at that moment.


Simply, let them know that you will be getting back to them quickly with a solution.


Do just that. And you will shine.

The Power Article Writing Has On Your Affiliate Marketing Opportunity

Posted on 18. May, 2010 by admin in Article Writing

If you are looking to have a long and successful career on the internet, marketing and advertising is absolutely essential. Without effective marketing, people have no way of knowing you even exist. And with no traffic coming to your site, you have no business whatsoever. While there are several routes you can take to promote your business and build it up, article writing is one of the top free methods you can pursue.


It does not matter whether you have your own business or have an affiliate marketing opportunity, the goal is to reel in visitors that you can convert to customers. Article writing can benefit your business in a number of different ways.


First off, it gives you the chance to display your expertise on a particular niche. After writing an article, you want to submit it to as many article directories as possible. From there, you would be surprised at how many people search article directories for ideas and information. As people scroll through and read your articles, they can see how knowledgeable you are within your niche.


From there, people can easily find their way to your web site via the resource box at the end of the article. The resource box is where you can write a couple of sentences on you, your business or whatever else you want. After that, you can include a link to your web site or specific page for people to follow.

Another way your affiliate marketing opportunity or business can benefit from article writing is to promote a specific product. If you have a new product you are launching or have a product that is lacking in sales, you can write up an article that describes the features of the product and how people can benefit from it. Then, submit the article to as many directories as possible and watch as the product begins to sell out the door.


Perhaps the biggest benefit with article writing, though, is the ability to connect with your target market. Unlike what you have probably heard, not all traffic is good traffic. To make it easier on yourself, you want to promote to people who are already interested in what you have to offer. When submitting your articles to article directories, you will find that there are specific categories and sub-categories to place your article in. This allows you to put your articles and web site link in front of people who are looking for what you have to offer.


There is a plethora of marketing and advertising methods you can apply to your marketing scheme online. One of the top methods to look into is article writing, which presents you and your business with a number of benefits.

Avoid Business Opportunity Investment Financing Mistakes

Posted on 22. Mar, 2010 by admin in Finance

By devoting extra caution and time, commercial borrowers can avoid serious business opportunity investment financing mistakes. The most obvious benefit will be to reduce the potential for critical commercial loan problems, both now and throughout the life of the business financing terms arranged.

A key factor that distinguishes business opportunity financing from other forms of business financing is the lack of commercial property ownership. Although the transaction will usually involve a long-term lease agreement, the buyer is acquiring a business that does not include real estate in the purchase price.

The two mistakes described in this article are more typical than expected by most commercial borrowers. While we will not be addressing all possible business opportunity financing problems in this article, we will include two of the most severe issues to anticipate and avoid.

Length of Business Financing -

A common mistake when acquiring a business opportunity is to finance the acquisition with business financing that expires within two to five years. One reason for this occurring is the failure to negotiate a longer-term lease, since it is typical for financing terms to expire with the lease.

A viable solution is to insist on a lease that is at least ten years long. This will facilitate business finance terms that can typically be for a ten-year period. One key factor that limits business opportunity financing to a ten-year period is due to the absence of commercial real estate collateral.

Use of Excessive Seller Financing -

Although nominal seller financing (such as 10-20%) can be helpful to a business financing transaction, attempts to finance either entirely or primarily with seller financing are generally inadvisable. There are several different issues which can result in this being a serious mistake.

If a seller is providing most or all of the business acquisition financing, a formal appraisal might not be obtained. While this appears to offer the advantage of saving the cost of such an appraisal, it also eliminates an important method of determining if the purchase price is appropriate. It is also not uncommon for a seller to have acquired a business appraisal that is used to substantiate the purchase price for the business they are selling. An appraisal financed by the seller is not likely to be an independent business value estimate.

An additional restriction when using excessive seller financing is that it typically will cover a period of three years or less. This will necessitate refinancing within a period that is not always practical to do so. A loan history up to 48 months will be required by some lenders prior to refinancing a business opportunity loan.

Solutions and Strategies for Avoiding Business Opportunity Investment Loan Mistakes -

Business borrowers should thoroughly discuss options with a business financing expert before proceeding with investing and financing programs. These efforts will be worthwhile since the potential business finance mistakes described above can be overcome successfully. Borrowers should seek out advisors capable of providing candid solutions in their efforts to obtain a better picture of complicated business opportunity financing possibilities.

Indian Aviation – an Investment Opportunity

Posted on 15. Mar, 2010 by admin in Aviation

It may be noted that in the last two years many a new airlines have come to the fore in a huge way and many huge industries have declared their wishes to enter into this industry. Another major leap was the open sky policy of Government of India permitting the existing private airlines in India to fly to foreign destinations. It does require a special mention that with such expansions planned by major aviation companies and new companies formed there is a vast manpower requirement. Qualified manpower is in huge abundance in India but they need a proper direction to capitalise on this surge in industry. When the human resources needed by these companies were less in number, it was easy to tap from a huge HR bank but when the demand for such HR increased they are finding it extremely difficult to maintain the quality of HR selected for these jobs especially when more and more foreign airlines are flying into India offering high salary packages forcing the better of HR to go with these companies.

It is important to mention here that Indian aviation industry grew by 20% second only to BPO industry in services sector and then comes the concept of no frills airline the market for which is growing vastly. Many no frills airline have already announced their plans to start services to India a few of them are Nok Air, Air Asia-Thailand, Air Arabia etc.

The boom in the aviation sector in India can be gauged by the fact that in one year, the number of people seeking pilot licenses and airhostess training has multiplied three times. In April 2005, it was 300. In April 2006, the number rose to 1045. The civil aviation industry is booming. Indian airlines placed orders for over 400 aircraft worth a whopping $30 billion for its operational requirements. That shows a requirement of 5600 pilots, 19000 airhostess or cabin crew, 24000 technicians, 36000 ground handling crew and various other related vacancies.

And these aviation industry vacancies are all fresh vacancies without including vacancies that may come up in the existing aircrafts.

Also the pay packages offered by the various Indian airlines have also seen an upward trend due to very few number of trained pilots and cabin crew availability. Hence there is an opportunity for you.

Indian Aviation is witnessing a mushrooming of new airlines especially low cost carriers. Besides the existing Air Deccan, newly launched Spicejet and value airline Kingfisher Airlines, there are Indus Airways, Air One, East West Airlines, Go Airways, Magic Air and Crystal Air who are getting ready to fly Indian sky soon. India is to see the launch of at least 14 such airlines. Low cost start-up carrier IndiGo had stunned the aviation industry by placing orders for 100 aircraft at a list price of over $6 billion last year.

It is anyone’s guess as to Human Resource Requirements, especially pilots, airhosess, flight attendants and other cabin crew, that are going to come up in the Aviation Sector. Demand is much above the number of people acquiring training for the same. Jet Airways along with Sahara India has about 47 percent share of the domestic aviation market, followed by Indian Airlines (28 per cent), Air Deccan (11 per cent), Kingfisher (6 per cent) and SpiceJet (5 per cent) as on October2006.

Jet Airways tops the list of domestic and national carrier operators with 8,168 flights operating till June 2005. Indian Airlines ranks second with 7,562 flights, followed by Sahara (3,225 flights), Air Deccan (2,889 flights), Spice Jet (483 flights) and Kingfisher Airlines (267 flights).

The sudden boom in Indian aviation has caught even the normally market savvy global aerospace manufacturers unawares. Recently, both Boeing and Airbus said they had underestimated Indian growth. This means global players are also coming into the scene.     

It wasn’t surprising since statistics compiled by Airbus Industrie showed that Indian carriers accounted for 327 out of the 2,140 firm orders for new aircraft that were placed with it and rival Boeing in 2005. This does not take into account the orders placed for smaller airplanes with other manufacturers like ATR and Dassault – which, too, are flooded with offers from private Indian carriers.

The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, Embraer, is bullish on the prospects in the Indian market. Their forecast is that between 2006 and 2010, the demand for 30-120-seater planes in India would be around 165, which is about 40 per cent of the demand of the Asia-Pacific region. The value of these aircraft would be around $4 billion. They feel that a majority of the aircraft required will be in the 61-120-seat capacity segment. 70 per cent of these would be required for market growth while there would be a small demand for replacement.

Globalysis Ltd.forecasts growth in India’s aviation market, to be one of the fastest growing in the world, for the years 2007-2008. The Globalysis research report forecasts growth in India’s aviation market of approximately 28% in 2007 and 24% in 2008, for a total of approximately 52 million passengers being carried in 2008.

From the above given facts this is the right time to invest in a business opportunity and anyone with cash and liquidity can go in for the kill.

What is Network Marketing? ? is it a Scam or Opportunity?

Posted on 11. Mar, 2010 by admin in Networks

What is Network Marketing?

Do you know how network marketing works? I have been network marketing for almost 5 years. I have been told by my upline that network marketing is all about recruiting downlines into my business. I spent thousands of dollars and stock up a lot of products as I want to be promoted to the position of supervisor. I always thought that by doing this, it would be a fast track to success. What is network marketing?

Are you familiar with these real life stories? Or are you one of the victims that are bought into the ideas? I have tasted countless of rejections every single day and have done countless of cold calls and surveys and everyone seems to avoid me. So what is network marketing all about?

In every network marketing company, there are 2 fundamental elements that every company must have. They are products and a marketing system. Have you ever heard of people telling you that to succeed in network marketing, you need to find a company with outstanding products or with the best compensation plan? Let me briefly explain to you what is network marketing.

Network marketing is a business unit that comprises of a team of motivated individuals that have a common goal in their mind. What is it? It is about helping other people to get what they want.

Network Marketing Today on the Internet

What is network marketing? Network marketing today is different from what it was 5 years ago. It has transformed into an internet business opportunity. It is no longer a struggle for network marketers to recruit people into their business. On the internet, we can make money online even if prospects do not want to join our network marketing business. Do you get the idea?

This business revolution is a whole new opportunity for people who want to work in a home based business by making a living online earning monthly residual income. They can make extra income by monetizing their list selling other digital products or network marketing plr (private label rights) products that help in their prospects network marketing business.

What is Network Marketing?- Is it a Scam?

Network marketing is definitely not a scam. A scam is a business opportunity that has no products to sell and there is only monetary investment involved in the transaction. It gives false promises to prospects about the ROI, return of investment that they will be getting in 6 months or 1 year. Recently, there is news all over about this scams that cheated people money and gave them false promises that don’t even exist at all.

Trust me. There is no such thing as a “get rich quick scheme”. There is no secret to succeed in network marketing on the internet. I am going share with you how are you going to go about doing it even if you are a newbie. What is network marketing and the internet going to help you on your network marketing business?

Making full use of Network Marketing PLR products

First, before you even want to sell something or selling your business opportunity on the internet, you need to brand yourself as an expert. Branding takes time and massive advertising is what it takes to get you notice on the internet. How are you going to go about doing it? Building a list of prospects is your first step.

You can create your squeeze page, lead capture page or outsource to professionals to do it for you if you have the advertising budget. Next is to find a free report to give away. There are network marketing plr products on Google that you can purchase at a low price. Purchasing a plr e-book to brand it as your own is a good idea to give away as a free report to entice prospects to give away their name and email address.

Your goal is to collect a list of prospects, build a huge list, follow up with them, build relationships and market to them your products and your business opportunity. Instead of writing your own e-book, you can quickly brand yourself as an expert by purchasing network marketing plr products at an affordable price to brand it as your own.

Driving Traffic using Network Marketing PLR products

Next, you need to have traffic.  What I mean is that, you need to drive traffic, visitors to your lead capture page, squeeze page that you have created. No traffic means no prospects. Literally your internet network marketing business will die off and passed away. How can you drive traffic to your squeeze page? Again, you can use network marketing plr products like private label rights articles, rewrite it and send to article directories. Or you can purchase network marketing plr videos to rebrand it using AVI source files and submit to video sharing sites.

I simply love network marketing plr products as it saves me a lot of time and effort instead of me doing it all by myself. The beauty of network marketing plr products is you can change the contents and rebrand it as your own which makes you an expert in network marketing immediately.

How to Avoid Business Opportunity Investment Financing Problems

Posted on 10. Mar, 2010 by admin in Finance

Buying a business investment without real estate requires specialized business opportunity financing. Although this kind of business financing is available, there are several potential problems which should be anticipated and avoided by prospective buyers.

In order to buy a business, a commercial borrower is likely to need business financing. If the business includes commercial real estate, the borrower will need a commercial mortgage. If the business purchase does not involve real estate, a business borrower must use a business opportunity loan.

When obtaining a business opportunity loan, borrowers will discover that many lenders simply do not provide business loans that do not include real estate as part of the business purchase. There are several other important business financing issues to analyze prior to buying a business without commercial property.

The level of interest for buying a business opportunity investment has increased due to the reduction of activity involving residential real estate investing. However, because there are so many critical differences between financing residential real estate and business financing, it is important for potential business owners to educate themselves before proceeding.

This summary is designed to address the unique business financing requirements involved when real estate is not involved. Our suggested approach to business opportunity financing is provided below.

Prospective business owners should begin business opportunity investment financing plans by formulating a realistic assessment of cash available for a down payment and desired maximum business purchase price. In most business financing scenarios, a total down payment approximating 25% of the purchase price is advisable. Usually seller financing is permissible for a portion of the down payment, but a potential buyer generally needs to plan on investing a minimum of 10% or more of the purchase price from their own funds even if the seller is providing 20% or more.

Purchasers should evaluate whether a Small Business Administration loan is relevant for their particular business financing and investing circumstances. This step is both important and somewhat complicated, and the involvement of an SBA loan expert is strongly advised. Among the issues to explore are whether collateral is available for SBA financing and how important refinancing is to your overall business opportunity financing process.

Buyers should make an early determination concerning the length of lease to be arranged in conjunction with buying the business. As noted previously, business opportunity financing and investing does not involve the purchase of commercial real estate, so arrangements must be made for a long-term lease. The length of the lease is important because the normal business finance terms will restrict the length of business financing to the period covered by the lease (although buyers should anticipate a ten-year maximum for investment business loans). For example, with a seven-year lease, the commercial loan is likely to be for seven years, and even with a fifteen-year lease, the commercial financing will probably expire in ten years.

Even though real estate is not included in a business opportunity transaction, buyers should nevertheless investigate whether including real estate is a viable option or not in order to buy a business. With the inclusion of commercial property, you can obtain a longer business loan and the interest rate will be lower. However, improved business financing terms should not be the sole factor you look at, since the absence of a commercial mortgage can prove to be a significant advantage in a declining real estate market that currently exists in many areas of the country.

Investors and buyers should discuss business finance options with a business opportunity loan expert before making any offers to buy a business investment. These discussions should include issues such as down payment possibilities, potential purchase price, seller financing, tax return requirements, buyer credit scores and collateral options.

As a final precautionary note, in most circumstances the availability of business opportunity financing is more restricted than commercial real estate financing. There are also some problems unique to business opportunity loans, and commercial borrowers should make every effort to avoid these potential business financing complications.
