Success Tips - The LAST Word In Customer Service by Dick Read Sales Partner in Indiana

I recevied an email from Dick Read regarding Last word in Customer Service. I really liked it and agree with it as I use to work in Customer Service myself. I wanted to share this with you:

"So long as we love to serve, so long as we are loved by others, I would almost say that we are indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend."

Robert Lewis Stevenson (Scotland, 1850 - 1894)

The LAST Word In Customer Service.

Keeping your existing clients happy is a vital part of your business. If you want to establish stability in your cashflow you need to maintain your repeat customers.

The best way to do this is to train your staff on the proper way to handle complaints. Handling a complaint is very similar to the process that we use for handling objections.

Here is an acronym to help you and your staff remember the process: L.A.S.T.
L is for Listen. Don't take offense or get emotional when a customer comes to you with a complaint. Simply stay calm and listen with a smile.
A is for Apologize. Tell them that you are sorry for the inconvenience. A can also stand for ask a question. Make sure you clarify the problem before you address it.
S is for Solve the Problem. Quickly offer a solution. You should offer your customer something enticing right away. Don't be cheap or proud, never try to convince your customer that they are in the wrong. It is well worth a short term loss in exchange for a long term loyal, promoter customer.
T is for Thank Them. Thank your customer for bringing the problem to your attention. By doing so this customer has highlighted an area in your business that may be turning countless others silently away.
Remember that a person that complains really wants to like, and help you. They may actually think the world of your business and have built it up to their friends only to find it fall short in some way, thus causing some minor embarrassment. They want to be able to brag about you, the process above will give them reason again.

This process may seem like common sense to you but you might be surprised at how many of your employees don't know this.

Every person on your team should be trained in sales and customer service, not just your sales team or receptionists. Your customers will likely come into contact with other members of your team, a maid, cook, or handyman for example, and will expect the same level of service that your front end has provided them with.

Also don't hesitate to give even your lowest level employees the ability to give a discount. Having to fight through two levels of managers to get a free meal, or even just an apology, can be a very traumatic ordeal for your customer.

Success is achieving your goals in life, whatever they may be.

But there's no denying that money matters. Having the financial condition to enjoy your achievement is part of success. If you're stuck in the rate race, you'll have no room to enjoy living. In a real sense, financial success is the bedrock of all other success you want to go after. It sets the stage, so to speak.

The key is learning to achieve your goals and build wealth, no matter what economic conditions prevail. That preserves your options, your choices, your freedom — which is what success is really about.

The challenge for all of us in today's cyber world is that there's plenty of information out there about how to achieve financial success, but how much of that information is worth anything? In other words, there's a huge amount of information available, but which is the "good stuff"?

Robert and his advisors will answer that question for you.

Many people hope that the system will change. Robert, Kim, and their team believe it is easier to change yourself than the system. That change can only develop through a strong financial education. This mini-documentary is not for those who expect the government to take care of them...but rather for those who choose to save themselves.

‘Shooting the Sacred Cows of Money’ is an explosive mini-documentary that takes on the established mindset about money - our financial 'sacred cows.'

Conspiracy of the Rich by Robert Kiyosaki - Exclusive Online Update #40 - MORE UNEMPLOYMENT??

I got this in my email and this is pretty scary!! What do you folks think???

More Unemployment?

The more President Obama tries to help poor people, the more poor people he creates. This is evident in President Obama’s new healthcare package. The new healthcare bill imposes on employers an additional $300 to $700 tax per employee. As you know, if an employer cannot earn that extra $300 to $700 per employee, the employer must let employees go because the cost of labor becomes greater than the business’ income. This means more employees will lose their jobs. To prevent employers from hiring more part-time workers, the healthcare bill also lowered the number of hours that define part-time workers. As a result, many employers will reduce the number of hours their part-time employees work, which reduces their take home pay. To make matters worse, if employers reduce a worker’s wage to pay for the increase
in healthcare, the government can impose on the employer a $100 a day fine per employee. This is a slap in the face of capitalism and hurts the economy. Capitalism is about free markets setting their own prices for wages and products. The more our government interferes with business, the less freedom we have—and the worse our economy becomes. As an entrepreneur and employer, this new healthcare bill affects how I look at and evaluate every employee. As employee costs go up, taxes increase, and business slows, I’m forced to let more workers go as well as hire more slowly and carefully. I’m deeply concerned about the fate of my employees. This is not a time to lose a job. Yet, I must also be willing to let people go in order to save the business—because if my business fails, then everyone loses, including me.
The economy needs more entrepreneurs. Only entrepreneurs create real, sustainable
jobs. Unfortunately, since the government protects the ultra rich that own the big
corporations and big banks, as well as the labor unions, it’s tough for entrepreneurs to survive today, which means fewer jobs will be created, which is why we have a jobless recovery, which is why unemployment will continue to go up.
This is why your financial education is more important today than ever. In the name
of protecting poor people, more poor people are being created. I do not want you or me tobe one of them.

Thank you for supporting COR.

Is Goldman Guilty? by Robert Kiyosaki Conspiracy of the Rich

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is suing Goldman Sachs for alleged fraud involving mortgage-backed securities. Allegedly, Goldman was selling securities to some clients, telling them they were good investments. At the same time, they were betting those same investments would fail. Why would they do that? Obviously… greed is profitable. Goldman is under fire because the public is angry. The charges are politically inspired so lawmakers can appear to be doing something as they call for new financial reform laws. Now Germany, England, and even AIG are piling on, looking for someone to blame. (Read more on this article by Robert Kiyosaki)

Refuse To Be Afraid - A Story by Michael Josephson

Refuse To Be Afraid

Tim Wrightman, a former All-American UCLA football player, tells a story about how, as a rookie lineman in the National Football League, he was up against the legendary pass rusher Lawrence Taylor. Taylor was not only physically powerful and uncommonly quick but a master at verbal intimidation.

Looking young Tim in the eye, he said, "Sonny, get ready. I'm going to the left and there's nothing you can do about it."

Wrightman coolly responded, "Sir, is that your left or mine?"

The question froze Taylor long enough to allow Wrightman to throw a perfect block on him.

It's amazing what we can accomplish if we refuse to be afraid. Fear - whether it's of pain, failure, or rejection - is a toxic emotion that creates monsters in our mind that consume self-confidence and intimidate us from doing our best or sometimes even trying at all.

As a law professor, I saw scores of capable students fail the bar exam, not because they didn't know enough but because their anxiety hindered their ability to remember or coherently express what they did know.

For most law graduates, passing the bar exam should be no more difficult than walking across a board 20 feet long and two feet wide. The trouble is, they don't walk normally because they're intimidated by the illusion that the board is suspended 100 feet in the air and that getting across is a life-or-death matter. What's the worst thing that could happen? Embarrassment, inconvenience, and expense - but none of these is fatal.

Perspective is an antidote to fear. Most things you fear will never happen, and even if they do, you can handle it.

Point of No Return - Robert Kiyosaki

Point of No Return from Conspiracy of the Rich on Vimeo.

Every day, the economic news reinforces how critical it is for everyone to increase their financial literacy. In this video, there was an article in the Money section of the April 8th issue of USA TODAY, where former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan finally admitted that the US Federal Reserve is no longer in control.

The Federal Reserve Chairman actually has more power than the President of the United States. That is because the Federal Reserve Chairman has the power to write checks in the billions and trillions of dollars. The US government’s spending is increasing faster than its income. US government debt is increasing faster than the gross domestic product (GDP). What this means for you is a devalued dollar and a lousy standard of living.

People are spending like the economy is coming back. Yet the point of no return is measured by economists who recognize the size of our debt today. Regulators will not be able to control the future and taxes will eat you alive. Is the US economy like a car out of control on ice?

Money you’ll need within four or five years. Keep it in a bank or a money market fund—any account that is readily accessible when the need arises.

Money you won’t have to touch for 15 years or more. Keep it in well-diversified stock index funds, which track the market as a whole rather than trying to pick individual companies. Low-cost stock index funds are offered by Vanguard and Fidelity Investments. T. Rowe Price has index funds, too, but they cost a little more.

Former Fed chief Greenspan: 'I was wrong 30% of the time'

Former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan is sworn in during a hearing before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.






By David J. Lynch, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — He's human after all.

From the councils of government to the paneled boardrooms of Wall Street, the idea of Alan Greenspan erring once would have seemed rank heresy. Those days, however, are long gone. Pressed Wednesday to defend his stewardship of the U.S. economy in the years before a massive housing bubble collapsed, the former Fed chairman told a commission investigating the origins of the financial crisis: "In the business I was in, I was right 70% of the time, but I was wrong 30% of the time."

The former Federal Reserve chairman probably didn't mean it this way, but that score — depending upon your point of view — is worth either a C- or a seat alongside an economic thinker who is almost no one's idea of a sage. Read more on this article....
