Many companies are aware of the importance of providing good customer service, but despite this, not implemented, either through neglect or simply not knowing how to give good customer service.

And if the latter is the case, you follow these few rules or principles that when put into practice will help you provide excellent customer service.

The first rule to give good customer service is always welcome.

You must greet the customer as soon as it enters the premises of your business, preferably with a big smile and should be a frequent customer, try to greet him by name.

Another rule to provide good customer service is to provide a friendly.

You must give customers a friendly, courteous and helpful to point out to serve you, and you are genuinely interested in your satisfaction.

Something that today’s customers greatly appreciate being offered a personal touch.

Just enter your business client, you must go to him even if you’re busy (in which case you could tell who will see in a moment), and then serve you as quickly as possible.

To an opinion, objection or complaint by the client, you should never get to discuss or argue with him.

We all have some way of generating income. Usually the salary is received in our work or main activity. And most of us are accustomed to living on this income, adjusting our lifestyle and spending patterns to which he allows us.

Although many accept that things are well and that there is much to do about it, others aspire to more and seek the way to go. This second group of persons, to which any of us can belong, is composed of those seeking ways to generate new sources of revenue and are people who are not willing to limit your lifestyle at its current level of income, but rather generate flows necessary for the lifestyle they prefer.

There are multiple ways to generate new revenue sources to complement the current. Some examples of these are:

- Get a second job – could be a part-time work does not interfere with our work or we blur our primary duties.
- Making a hobby into a business – Do you like dessert? Can you make scented candles? Do you make jewelry in your spare time? You could start a business and start generating additional revenue from an activity that will generate pleasure.
- Activities “freelance” – ideal for those with particular skill that other people or companies value. For example, charge by writing to a media, taking pictures or offering advice or lectures on a topic you master.
- Passive income – defined as income that do not require our active participation to generate. There are many ways to get them: dividends on shares of companies they have invested, we have rental properties, advertising revenue (or sales) blogs or websites of our property, etc.

Clearly, then, that those who want to increase their income, they can. There are multiple ways to do this, as we saw through the examples shown. But before you try it, we must be sure you have the time to do so in the desire to strive to achieve and the determination to go ahead with the plan. In general, consistency is rewarded with better results and revenue generated from these core activities.

The immediate consequence of generating new revenue quickly be closer to our financial goals. We will not have to wear a life style so tight and we will have more money available later this month to further reduce debt or save. And who knows … he could even become a thriving business or were waiting for the opportunity to devote full time to our own business.

A few days ago we published the news of the Amex and Visa agreements with service companies Serve and Samsung, respectively, to allow payment by credit card via phone. Now joins the agreement between Telephonic and MasterCard, to allow credit card payments for MasterCard user’s moister mobile phone service.

This solution will be available to 87 million users in Latin America and work, apparently with a similar system of pre-paid cards, which makes it unnecessary to change the mobile phone by another digital device. May be used for both mobile own load, and for the payment of utility bills, and shopping in stores, as well as you can receive money through the same system.

These ads, along with Apple (on the NFC system including the phone iPod 5 and 2), and forecasts that by 2013 the majority of internet users access the network through mobile devices are an example of what the payment via credit card in the near future.

It is estimated that by 2015, the United States alone could reach 22 million dollars in transactions through mobile phones.

In Europe and Latin America, companies that have already been released in Europe this race are Visa, MasterCard, Telephonic – Moister, Samsung and La Caxias. In the U.S., Visa, MasterCard, Bank of America, City Group and Google began experimenting with this new technology in the hope of a rapid mass application.

One way to increase sales is to be aware of what customers think of competing companies, to do this we use certain online monitoring systems which scan certain words used in web pages and social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter, when the monitoring system finds a match, the mail and tell us gives us the address where such information. We also have the opportunity to do it manually, but it is always more comfortable when using automated systems.

In particular we must investigate complaints of competition are things like complaints about bad service they provide poor care or technical support, based on that we can plan an international organization in our business which minimizes any complaints arising, which are the “Achilles heel” of the competition, having already formed our labor structure optimized campaign can make our service better sharing of the competition. See examples like Apple vs. Microsoft vs. Nintendo and PlayStation. These companies have launched commercial where they exploited the weaknesses of the opponent, this at least allowed them to gain popularity and some extra customers.

We must also bear in mind not to enter the field of advertising low ethics and morals, such as Mexico’s Megacable who trade in their supposedly offer better speed and service that Telmex, being that they are one of the companies with the highest number of complaints in Mexico. Such as trying to trick people by offering the speed of 5Mbps for only 194MXN month, although at no time verbally clarified that the price is only during the first 3 months and 4 months after # the speed drops to 2mbps, but appears warning in small print for a few seconds, and on its website does not explain any of that respect.

In short, offering a better service than the competition without a doubt will bring much greater gains in the short term, since those who are poor service artos of competition will have the option to hire or buy from us (as applicable) .

People go to counseling firms for credit management and consolidation for the purpose of being debt free as quickly as possible after all and losers out more indebted than they already were.

The new report by the FTCA submitted to the Federal Trade Commission show that credit counseling calls, consumers more harm rather than help them stay out of debt. In fact, consumers who use credit counseling lose more money in nonrefundable payments than they save on the basis of industry statistics. This discovery was made after the proposal from the Federal Trade Commission ban on advance payment to the debt consolidation companies, which according to the report, entitled “Common Sense”, cause enough collateral damage by forcing more consumers to enroll in debt management plans (DMP).

The report notes that counseling nonprofit credit is subsidized by the credit card companies, it is naive to assume that these agencies will see to the interests of consumers, and that will support this thesis with lasestadisticas, as fact that 35% of consumers get in touch with credit counselors and those who get in debt digestion plans (DMP) more than 75% of these consumers never completed the program. According to the study, the average consumer who uses a WMD loses about $ 5,000 in nonrefundable payments by credit card companies. These consumers should have been advised to seek the services of a debt settlement or bankruptcy attorney immediately. These agencies are funded by banks and it is logical that they look after their interests first, even at the expense of consumers.

Amid the worst recession since the Great Depression and the Federal Trade Commission including the creation of standards that could eventually eliminate the debt settlement industry as we know it is dangerous to push consumers into the arms of advisers loan to eliminate debt. Although it is clear that the debt settlement industry has to be cleaned, even in its current form is not regulated is a better alternative to credit counseling for most consumers.

If you’re exploring the possibility of requesting cash loan should think carefully about what you’re doing. There are few people who asked for a loan of this type and now deeply regret that decision and who are involved in a serious economic problem for a debt they cannot afford.

So we give you some tips that apply when you request a loan of money.

1. Determine the type of lending money to our best advantage: The most common types of loans today are fixed rate and variable interest. When choosing one or the other must take into account changes occurring in the market. If you want more control over your finances, it is best to choose a fixed rate loan with market shares remain constant over time. However if you choose a variable interest loan, you are exposed to market movements and if the price of money rises, so will the interest of the loan. Check with the financial institution which is the indices used for the adjustment of quotas in the case of variable interest loans. They are usually the consumer price indexes that are offered by state institutions that are dedicated to statistics.

2. Choose a solid financial institution with experience: Please note that while traditional banking is more demanding with respect to the collateral to grant a loan of money, interest rates generally are lower. Instead the companies offering fast loans are usually undemanding and do not ask a lot of paperwork, but have interest rates much higher than can reach 20% or more. You must ensure that these financial institutions, especially those that offer very affordable loans almost any requirement, are empowered by state agencies. There are many shell companies engaged in lending money and, in case you cannot pay may have some unorthodox methods of collection and certainly not the most advisable. Read the rest of this entry »
