In kicking off a session with a bunch of sales reps and managers, I always try to start with a group discussion that establishes a common bond. Last week I decided to focus on something a lot of customers say that derails a sales call. The first thing I did was project the following words up on the wall:

You don’t understand. We’re different Read More
We seem to notice companies that provide good service. Often it isn't even "great" service that catches our eye. These days it appears that "good enough" is good enough to surprise us.
Have we become so accustomed to low levels of service that we have cause to celebrate when someone actually does what they say they will?
The disenfranchised, inattentive service rep does not surprise you. It is the one who has social skills, does his/her job and remembers to say "thank you" that you remember.
In an extended period of economic decline, as we rewrite society, effectively eliminating the "affluence" of the middle class, money will chase positive experiences. Why aren't more companies putting more focus on exceptional-ism? Especially as social media (the source of word-of-mouth) pulls ahead of other media in terms of growth?
That is the focus of this post on ideationz. Come visit, and please leave a comment.
Thank you. I mean it. Thank YOU.

The about us page on a website serves as the great purpose of informing our visitors what our business does and what we can help them with. However, it is not the coolest kid in school and truly how many of your website visitors actually make it there? Probably not too many, since the home page seems to be the place to give a little snidbit about the business and the about us page is just a place to go for more detail. Let’s reinvent this page to make it popular and make it a place our visitors will want to check out on a day-to-day basis.
Here is what you can do to make the about us page cool for your viewer Read More
