Global Profits Come from Turbulent Industries

Two thirds. That is how much of the global profit pool is
in turbulent industries like media, telecom, auto, airlines, and financial
services. All those industries are
undergoing fundamental changes to their core business model. Source: Profit from the Core.

| You
Rock
|
This is deceptive.
You don't rock all the time.
No one does. No one is a rock star, superstar, world-changing artist all the
time. In fact, it's a self-defeating goal. You can't do it.
No, but you might rock five
minutes a day.
Five minutes to write a blog
post that changes everything, or five minutes to deliver an act of generosity
that changes someone. Five minutes to invent a great new feature, or five
minutes to tell the truth (or hear the truth).
Five minutes a day you might
do exceptional work, remarkable work, work that matters.
And five minutes of rocking
would be enough, because it would be five minutes more than just about anyone
else.

| The Business Cost of March Madness
|
$1.8
billion. Workers distracted by March Madness could cost employers
that much in unproductive wages between Selection Sunday, March 14, and the
end of the first round, March 19, the period when activity surrounding the
NCAA basketball tournament is at its height, says Challenger, Gray &
Christmas. The outplacement firm bases its estimate on the number of people
expected to participate in office pools, the money they earn, and the time
they're likely to spend trash talking and watching videos.

CRM Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
What can a CRM system do for me?
A CRM system helps you recognize
customers and prospective customers, understand their preferences, frequently
anticipate their needs and respond to their requests quickly and effectively.
It enables you to track, organize, and consolidate the interactions dealership
staff has with current and prospective customers.
How can CRM benefit my business? (Just to
name a few)
-
Raise
customer satisfaction
-
Track
event budgets and logistical matters
-
Centralize
key metrics from marketing campaigns
-
Increase
operating efficiencies
-
Improve
targeted marketing efforts of customers and prospects
-
Reduce
marketing expense and increase customer retention
Will my employees use it?
When you first deploy a CRM
system, expect an initial adjustment period.
It takes discipline and persistence to learn technology. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is
familiar to your employees because it integrates white into Outlook. Over time, using Microsoft Dynamics CRM will become indispensable part of your business and it will only become
more valuable as marketing and lead data volume grows.

Should You Hire
Internal IT Staff Or Outsource to an External Service Provider?
|
|
Most small business owners
handle all aspects of their businesses, including acting as the information
technology department. This will work for as long as you remain a small
business without employees. When you grow and start hiring staff, will it make sense
to use your business-building time on IT issues?
Unless you are an information
technology service provider yourself, chances are your time will be much better
spent marketing your products and/or services, establishing relationships with
your clients, providing exceptional customer service and just otherwise growing
your business.
