Successful salespeople have the ability to turn the customers they serve into advocates. They don't directly ask for assistance Wholesale Mitch Wishnowsky Jersey , they do it by going the extra mile when providing service. It is only natural for satisfied customers to refer their friends and business associates to someone they know they can trust to take good care of them.

Your ability to provide quality service after the sale is critical in developing "lifetime relationships" with your customers. Top salespeople have learned that the key to their success is "service with a smile." They understand that their referrals and follow on business is in direct relationship to the service they render on a daily basis.

Here's how you can do it:

1. Always under promise and over deliver. Develop a reputation for reliability; never make a promise that you can't deliver.

2. Stay in contact and keep good records. Consider sending a personal note or an article of interest once or twice per year.

3. Pay attention to the small things. Get in the habit of returning phone calls, e-mails and other correspondence quickly.

4. Give your customers a promotional gift. You might want to consider sending them a book, or any gift with your picture and contact information.

5. Establish a feedback system to find out how your customers perceive the quality and quantity of the service you provide.

What are teenagers really getting up to in their spare time? Should parents worry, or is there something more positive they can do? Join self-help expert and Internet Author Mike Scantlebury in an exploration of social trends and sample a sliver of the book he is currently working on, full of useful, no-nonsense advice for parents.


Many nice Wholesale Jalen Hurd Jersey , law-abiding parents are scared to death that their teenage children have become involved with drugs. They worry when the kids lock themselves in their bedrooms. They imagine that the youngsters are smoking dope, or injecting something. Then they turn to each other and wonder where they went wrong. Why are we such awful parents, they ask themselves.


The answer, of course, is No, they didn't do such a bad job. But the answer also - if you want to start looking for it - is not in the house at all. It's actually where the young people spend most of their time, in school, on street corners Wholesale Deebo Samuel Jersey , and generally hanging around with their friends. The drug taking, along with all the other bad habits our children pick up along the road to maturity, comes from their so-called 'friends'. In middle-class areas they might be called 'peer groups' but in other less fortunate locations, they're easier to see, they're called 'gangs'. Those are the teenagers hanging around on street corners. The reason might be, to be prosaic, that they don't live in such fortunate conditions and don't have their own rooms, to lounge in and entertain. They probably share bedrooms with siblings and worse Wholesale Nick Bosa Jersey , share accommodation with parent or parents who don't want them around and tell them to 'get out'. They roam the streets, along with people of similar age who share similar backgrounds and outlooks. They also share adventures and activities, whether it's drugs, sex, petty crime, or stealing cars. It's all part of belonging.


If a 'deprived' child has a wastrel for a parent and no usefully employed role model to copy, then it might be understandable that they fall in with the 'bad crowd' and start spending time on unproductive activities, even if they're illegal. The ray of hope in all this is that there are actually two ways that everybody makes friends Wholesale Matt Breida Jersey , and most people, once they realise that, have a choice of which route they follow.


The first is that you 'fall in' with whoever is around. That might be the people that you go to high school with, or neighbours, other youngsters in your street and neighbourhood. In all poor areas, these individuals are the same, since local kids go to local schools, (not like in posher areas Wholesale George Kittle Jersey , where parents choose a school that challenges the brains of their offspring and might be a distance away). Again, in poor areas, the meeting place is the street corner, (as opposed to friends' houses, garages, gardens or yards, which is often the case in more affluent areas, where parents can be welcoming to children's friends Cheap Jerry Rice Jersey , offer them hospitality ? and keep an interested eye on them, as opposed to 'Don't care' from less able parents). Then, associating with this local collection, each young person picks up the interests of the group, which usually tends to the lowest common denominator ? vandalism, nuisance, drugs, crime Cheap Joe Montana Jersey , hip hop music or 'gangsta' culture.


There's an alternative, and it's found in Success Theory. There, advisors have realised for years that the one group of people that are liable to stop you from attaining wealth and influence are your friends. Of course, it's only because they want the best for you. They don't want you to waste your time, energy and money on high-flying, unsafe and unpredictable schemes. Finally, and most important, they don't want to lose you. But they will. If you find 'success' Cheap C. J. Beathard Jersey , of any sort, the first casualty is the circle of people you know. You move on, you may move up, and now you're associating with a different class of person. Turn that on its head ? if you want to change, start associating with those other people NOW. Your circumstances will then change to meet the challenge, and to help you fit in.


In other words, don't choose your friends and adopt their interests. Instead, choose your interests and meet with people who share that: they will become your friends. It doesn't matter whether that's stamp collecting or making.
