Which is Better: Repeat Business or Adding New Customers? - Part 2 of 2
Recently we asked which was more important: new customer growth or repeat business?The answer depends on your business goals. If you want fast-paced quantum growth, you should concentrate energy on adding new customers. But if your goals are more incremental - if you envision continual year over year growth in the 10 to 20 percent range - booking repeat customer revenue is far easier than adding new customers.(Of course, don't lose sight of new customer acquisition; doing so entirely would doom the future of your business.)While it is not easy to double your existing customers spending year after year, it is easy enough to 1) keep them happy and loya

Experiential Marketing Turns Traditional Marketing on Its Head
We’ve all felt bombarded by advertising at every turn. On the floor of the grocery store, the side of buildings, overflowing our email boxes, and every place in between. People are even selling body space these days. The average U.S. citizen receives an unbelievable 3,000 marketing messages a day.The barrage of messages is greatly reducing the effectiveness of traditional marketing. People have had it with the disruptions and are beginning to ignore all advertising, even for products they care about. The Do Not Call list, SPAM blockers, pop-up blockers, digital video recorders and satellite radio are just some of the ways consumers try to escape.So what is

Flip-Flops In The White House: A Parable For Contracting Failure
Why Successful Government Contractors Never “Wear Flip-Flops”A photo of Northwestern University's national championship women's lacrosse team, taken during the athletes' recent visit to the White House, shows most of the nine women in the front row wearing flip-flop sandals along with their dresses and skirts. This created a flip-flop flap.The entire flip-flop flap is based upon presenting oneself in the appropriate manner to suit the audience. Yes, the young women were inexperienced in dressing to meet the President, but their mistake was in using their own judgment based upon acceptable dress in situations they normally experience.

Making Change Happen
Seventy percent of all change management projects are considered to be failures.The critical factors for change management success or failure are fairly simple.The first factor is to have a group of people at leadership level believe that change is required. More than that, they must believe that "change management" is required. If these factors are not evident then failure is assured.Understanding that major change is required is not enough. Developing a project plan which includes changes to processes, policies and infrastructure that does not include a plan to manage the change at a people level is not enough.The second requirement

Get away from the fallacy of believing that networking is about who you know. Master networkers know that the true power in your network is really about WHO KNOWS YOU!
