Good customer service is the lifeblood of any business.

Good customer service is all about bringing customers back.

Recruitment of the right people for the right reasons in the right roles for your team is so incredibly important, yet so often ignored or pushed to the rear. If you were to purchase a $50,000 piece of equipment for your business you wouldn’t do it on a whim or fancy. You would do your homework. You would find out all there is to know about the equipment and how it would best serve your business needs and goals. You would want to know everything about it. This is smart business thinking.

The great belief in the ‘loyal customer’ who will stay with you for years and refer you to others and help out when times get tough and stand by you through thick and thin - is a myth! No client can afford to be so doggedly faithful. They have their costs and issues too. These days it’s all about how you can be loyal to them! Once you realize that and stop blaming your customers for your own ups and downs, you’ll go a long way towards accessing the right thought patterns that will see you through - in all economic climes.

Developing a loyal championship team that is willing to stand in the heat for you, win for you, follow you and rejoice with you is the result of directed, well-placed and guided intention and training. It doesn’t just happen. In fact look at a disjointed group of selfish employees who lazily hang about a workplace trying to get away with producing as little as possible and I’ll show you a team that lacks direction and leadership.

What keeps a huge multinational business like McDonald’s ticking over every day when they have to rely on the input of inexperienced teenagers? Systems! What keeps franchises ticking over? Systems! How do countries continue to operate with changes of government? Systems! If your systems are obsolete, nonexistent, and ineffective then so too will be your output and productivity.

If there are no clients from whom to generate income, there becomes little point in carrying on a business. We all know how important the generation of new clients can be. And we know too that outgoings spent on advertising can have hit-or-miss results. That’s why at More Profit Less Time, we dedicate serious time and energy to training our business owners in familiarizing themselves with the factors that generate more clients as opposed to actions that simply stimulate the bank accounts of advertisers.

When you’re busy running or managing a business, it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks.

Rediscovering the basic fundamentals and skills that make a business tick has been a most productive, refreshing, and illuminating task for many of our clients.

Your salespeople are your lifeblood. You may not like it, but that’s the way it is, and they are also a breed unto themselves. They don’t function like the rest of us, and aren’t we glad about that! They have to be tough, negotiating, conciliatory, patient, driven, results-oriented, and bloody minded. If they were not so, they wouldn’t get the results we need. But are you getting the best out of them? We tend to respond to our sales staff in one of two ways.

In May 2006, armed only with a small rucksack and a staff, Tony Kevin, an overweight, sedentary, 63-year-old former diplomat, set off on an eight-week trek across Spain.

This is a historical novel, based on the true story of a young English convict named William Buckley who, on Boxing Day 1803, escaped from Victoria’s abortive first settlement at Sorrento and then survived in the wilderness for thirty-two years, mainly because he was adopted and helped by local aboriginal tribes. In 1835 Buckley emerged with his tribal friends to meet Melbourne’s founders, and quickly became an important guide and interpreter in the crucial first years of the European conquest of the Port Phillip region.

A bonzer (p. 288) discussion of the strange but dinkum (p. 289) pedigree (p. 224) of the naughty (p. 202), nice (p. 212), and, sometimes, obscene (p. 217) English language. We live in a torrent of words — from radio and television, books and newspapers, and now from the internet. But, as Julian Burnside reminds us in this new edition of the bestselling Wordwatching, words are a source both of pleasure and power, and can be deployed for good or for ill.
