Biz Tip of The Day: Leadership is Relatively Easy, but ...

Leadership is relatively easy, but productive leadership is an art form. One key element in successful leadership is knowing what the problem is you are setting out to solve. It is easy to become bogged down in minutia and have too many people working apart on details. Oftentimes you can lose site of the problem. Make sure your team in in tune with the problem on a daily basis and the goal of its solution. Ask for timely reports of its progress.

“Focus on you potential instead of your limitations.”

Alan Loy McGinnis

Biz Tip of The Day: Have a Productive Leadership Program

Have a productive leadership plan:

Get your team focused. Have a daily and weekly routine to follow. Monday is vision day. Identify three positive things to be executed that week; everyday identify three positive outcomes for the day; Friday go over the prior week's results by asking what three things went well, what three things need improvement. Each week should improve when you keep the successful processes, improve upon others and drop the hopeless.

This is a great way of keeping in communication with your team, constantly clarifying problems and their goals, not to mention carrying forth a dynamite learning curve to benefit your business. Making them feel they are important to your operation is job security through success for everyone.

Biz Tip of The Day: Lay Groundwork for Initial Networking Rapport

Lay the groundwork for your conversation with a new networking prospect. Use techniques that work. One tried-and-true technique is the echo technique is an effective way to engage someone and keep them talking at a networking meeting while you gather further Intel about your prospect. Surveilling should always be a part of your technique, as well, so you can later use such knowledge of the needs and desires of your prospects.

Don't get carried away using the echo technique; use it for no more than two or three times in a row, or the other person will become annoyed.

Prospect: “... my partner and I opened another store.”

You: “Opened another store?”

Prospect: “Yes, we were doing so well we thought another key location would double our intake.”

You: “Double your intake?

Prospect: “Yes, we did all the demographics and moved forward to ...”

You: (Time to abandon the echo technique) “Alright, you have my attention. I'd like to hear more about how you accomplished that.”

Biz Tip of The Day: Find Ways to Thank Your Customers

Customers may like your product, but all it may take for them to switch to dealing with your competitor is a little special attention. You captured them and you want to keep them as your customers. One way to keep them is to build a relationship by having dialogue or constant contacts, or nudges by mail or by phone. They will remember you in a pleasant manner if you show your appreciation for them, so find says to thank your customers.

After a day of shopping, that evening I was putting some Stein Mart purchases away when I found a personal handwritten note in the bag from the cashier. It was a note telling me how important I was as a customer to Stein Mart and thanking me for my business. What a great way to thank a customer. I will remember that cashier, and Stein Mart when I start my Christmas shopping.  

Use your ingenuity unique to your own business to thank your customers. One important thing to do is to train your employees to do the same.

“When someone comes along who genuinely thanks us, we will follow that person a very long way.”

Biz Tip of The Day: Small Businesses Need to be Able to Operate Unencumbered

Small businesses need to be able to operate unencumbered by so many crippling government regulations, fees and heavy taxes the same as individuals. 

 

If left to operate more freely entrepreneurship would bring back economic prosperity. We need local, state and a federal government moving to create a business-friendly atmosphere. After the stage is set society has the opportunity to thrive, producing more people with more income, thus more taxpayers producing more tax revenue for government. When businesses thrive, workers thrive and government thrives. It is a win, win, win situation for the future.

Business people get it; why doesn't most of government get it?
