Comment on Marketing Seminars – Happy Customers by Andrew Seaward

This is so true, mediocrity is a dangerous place to be. It feels comfortable but it doesn’t add any value to your business.

Only the top 10% and the bottom 10% of customer service ever gets remembered or commented on. When was the last time you went home and said about the restaurant “I tell you what – the service in there was positively mediocre !” You just don’t say it do you ? If it’s mediocre it’s instantly forgotten.

There are a series of customer service training audio CDs available at the Associated Learning Systems website at http://www.associatedlearningsystems.co.uk/product_list.asp?Section=CUSTOMER%20SERVICE%20SKILLS. It is key to be in the top 10% – mediocrity really isn’t good enough.

Comment on Marketing Seminars – Goal setting for the New Year by Andrew Seaward

Andrew Seaward — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 10:37:55 +0000

Setting goals is so important. There is an old adage that “the person who is going nowhere usually gets there.” It is worth all of us taking time out occasionally to set and then review goals.

Generally 3 is a good number – too many goals and it becomes hard to focus. It is also important to write them down, as it makes them sort of real then. If they’re just stored in the memory they can be easily forgotten, but write them down and you will naturally think about them when you review them occasionally. There are some training CDs packed with many good ideas on goal setting on the Associated Learning Systems website http://www.associatedlearningsystems.co.uk/product_list.asp?Section=SELF%20DEVELOPMENT

Comment on Marketing Seminars – PR by Chris Whitby

Chris Whitby — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:38:57 +0000

I could not agree more about relevance being the important factor rather than size of the company. If you sell what people want, you can get good coverage. If you sell what people need, you are certain to get good coverage. If you are the only source for what people need, even better! Haven’t we all wished we’d invented cats’ eyes for the road?

It’s the PR coverage that helps your company to grow, not past growth that gets you written about (and even if it does, it’s about the growth, not the products or services which are the things you are trying to sell).

The reason why much PR fails to get good results is that most businesses are selling what other business are selling too, so how can your company or product range be more relevant than many others? The niche application, the unique function, the thing that makes you/your product different and better are the keys to getting noticed.

I remember seeing a picture in a paper of some scouts who had raised money for charity. Instead of a photo of a formal handover or group shot with a large cheque, two scouts were grinning close into camera with the cheques stuck to their foreheads. Instant take-up by the local papers of a subject that is, let’s face it, run of the mill (so many runs, walks, abseils etc all doing good work but no longer real news).

So now I’m off to dress as a chicken – every little helps….
