Fighting Our Own Demons

 Growing up, I experienced a fearful voice telling me to leave if I felt a sense of love or affection. This fear led to unreliable and selfish behavior, such as never making plans or leaving events mid-sentence. The fear was that I liked the people I was infatuated with, but the voice told me to look for better options. This inner devil kept pushing me away from intimate relationships, and I spent the next decade acting insane to cope with my feelings.



OUR INSIDE MONSTERS

All of us have demons, or aspects of ourselves that we prefer not to face but that we know are there. These parts of us lead us to act selfishly and irrationally, not out of love for ourselves but rather out of fear for ourselves. However much we try to keep our demons hidden, they always lurk there, boiling to the surface and leaking out from under the mask we put on them. And the more our lives become messed up, the harder we try to keep that lid down. To forget our demons, we get stoned or intoxicated. We use employment or competition as a diversion from our demons.
We behave badly toward others in order to mask our irrational worry that they may do the same to us in the future.
Anything to ward off the devils...
It's likely that you have faced your inner demons at some point; you may have loathed yourself for your foolish actions or resisted feelings of remorse or rage. You've made promises to yourself that you'll put the vodka away at last or that you won't listen to that inner voice.


Laziness is one of the demons I still battle. We're all lazy slobs at least occasionally, but if I'm not careful, my battle with my own "usefulness" in this world frequently descends into a lonely and gloomy place. I have a tendency to be really hard on myself when I put things off. I'm a no good, lazy sack of trash, and I have a tendency to be fairly hard on myself. I assume that everyone is doing well and getting better every day, except for me. After many years, I see now how illogical this notion is. Even still, there's that tiny voice within telling me that since nobody else struggles to stay motivated, I must be a loser of some kind.

Demons begin as self judgments such as "you're dirty, lazy, stupid, unlovable, etc."
Then, we make every effort to disprove that judgment and evade that judgment. Six times, we clean the garage. Our workdays consist of eleven hours. At the neighborhood ice rink, we take home a blue ribbon. I am cool and nice, like I said! Look! Take a look at me! However, this avoidance eventually turns detrimental to oneself. Rather than taking your children home from school, you clean the garage once more. You work so late that on the way home, you nod off. Your lover walks out on you, yelling, "You never wanted me!" due to the fact that you are preoccupied with skating rink blue ribbons. All you wanted was someone to observe your skating!


Even worse, your monster persists despite your best efforts to refute it. The monster of idleness never lets me feel good about myself. One of my wife's demons is the cleaning demon; she can never feel like things are tidy or well-organized enough. Regardless all your efforts, the devil remains unsatisfied. Hence, your only option is to divert your attention from the devil or, worse, give in.
These days, I often find myself in a slump where I play video games for three to four days in a row, detesting the fact that I'm doing it.


Our demons become a form of self-loathing in this way. You feel stuck and helpless. You are unable to prevail. Regardless of your level of success, you are unable to refute the demon. But when you give up and fall short, all you do is validate the devil's claim. All of a sudden, that vodka sounds rather nice.yet there must be a more effective approach to get over this demon.

HOW TO ATTRACT BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

It's important to remember that attraction should not be based solely on someone's physical appearance. It's important to focus on building genuine connections with the opposite sex based on shared interests, values, and personalities. With that said, here are some general tips on how to increase your chances of attracting individuals you find attractive:


1. Be confident: Confidence is attractive, and it radiates positivity. Believe in yourself and your worth, and let that confidence shine through in your interactions with that beautiful lady.


2. Take care of yourself: Taking care of your physical health and appearance can increase your confidence and attractiveness. This includes things like exercising regularly, grooming yourself, and dressing in a way that makes you feel good.


3. Be a good listener: People appreciate when they feel heard and understood. Practice active listening by giving your full attention to others when they speak, and show genuine interest in what they have to say.


4. Develop your personality: Cultivate your interests, passions, and hobbies. Being well grounded and having a unique personality can make you stand out and attract beautiful ladies who share similar interests.


5. Be respectful: Treat others with respect and kindness, and avoid objectifying them based on their appearance. Remember that everyone deserves to be treated as a whole person, not just a physical object.


Remember, attraction is complex and personal, and there is no guarantee that any particular strategy will work for everyone. The most important thing is to prioritize building genuine connections with others based on mutual respect and understanding.

He directed the construction of the main road and non-motorized car through the mountains of the island.

The Blue Ridge Mountains, which are a series of ancient rocks from Shenandoah National Park on Earth. There are billions of years, these mountains were higher than the Rockies when they were built.

The first people who came in the last 12,000 years would agree that the first Cuyahoga was the "twisted river." The walls of steep valleys have been impeded while people were in the eastern region surrounded in the late 1700s. Flowers and Ohio settlers spread throughout the region. The store has stopped the canal due to the great flood of 1913 and the Cuyahoga Valley was left to spare time.  Cuyahoga Valley Brecksville allow dogs in their National Park.

Strategies To Boost Customer Retention

# 1: Analyse the different types of customers

Understanding the different customer segments that make up your customer database is very important. It is desirable that you separate them into segments such as loyalty or loyal customers, low-performing customers, and non-active customers, among others.

Once you have your customers segmented into different groups, you can go even deeper to understand their needs by type of industry or business. This will allow you to adapt to the offers so that they find them irresistible.

It will also provide your sales and customer service representatives with the specific data and examples they can use to explain how your products and services can meet the needs of that industry and individual customers.

# 2: Measure service performance

This is a key strategy because you need to ensure that customers receive the level and quality of service they are supposed to receive. In addition, this helps to ensure everyone in the company is informed about the extent to which those goals are or are not being satisfied.

This means not only the measurement of specific numbers, but also measuring the perceptions that the customers have about the quality of the service. This is certainly difficult and cannot satisfy every customer every time, but it is in the pursuit of excellence where we observe an improvement in customer perceptions.

# 3: Meets commitments, both implicit and explicit

There are a number of things that customers can forget and forgive. But what they will always remember, and will make them seek another company to meet their needs, is a company that does not keep its promises. You must always be very clear about what you will do and when you will do it. Then make sure you do it in a timely manner. To finish you have to contact the client to close and thank you for your business.

# 4: Encourages customer engagement

Involving customers often mean nothing more than getting customers to commission more jobs. This creates economic savings that you usually share with customers and provide an incentive to maintain the relationship.

If a relationship is comfortable for clients, inertia usually stays the same.
But if a client makes a bigger investment with you, the relationship is usually safe for a considerable period.

Psychologically, clients are often highly motivated to participate in the customer service process, and are usually identified closely with suppliers in "associated" agreements. This tends to increase the probability of customer retention.

# 5: Create a Disaster Recovery Plan

Why having a disaster recovery plan is important to retain customers? The answer is simple. The longer the delivery time expires, the more money it costs you and the more frustrated your customers feel, because they can not use the product or service contracted.

Customers want a reliable product and / or service and want to be able to contact you whenever they need help. If you can not afford them, they will look elsewhere.

# 6: Try to have a fast response time

One of the most important aspects to retain customers is to provide a fast and satisfactory solution to routine complaints, complaints and requests. Customers want to be taken care of quickly and solve problems in a timely manner. Customers are more likely to remember how you handle a topic than the question itself.

# 7: Offers a unique feature service

Why invest in offering unique features? My answer in two words: competitive advantage. If you offer products and services that your competitors do not offer, your customers have nowhere else to go to get what they need. You have to work to become a "one-stop shop" by adding new products and services when demand demands and improving, at the same time, your existing products and services.

# 8: Empowers Customer Service Staff

Agents who have been trained in capturing customer feedback can detect customers who are not satisfied or are considering buying from the competition, and can pass that information to the company. They must also be trained to pass on competitive information so that their marketing department can take appropriate action.

Forming them on basic customer retention techniques gives them the tools they need to keep customers. This is achieved by adequately addressing the claims, turning unsatisfied customers into satisfied and loyal, and educating customers about the value of your products and services.

Train customer service staff so they are familiar with systems, policies and procedures and giving them a thorough knowledge of the product and service, professionalism and prompt response to customers is key as it assure that customers derived optimal satisfaction. Hence, customer service staff need to be fitted.

# 9: Automate the end lower, customize the upper ends.

This strategy is key to retain customers as it allows you to automate the routine tasks that sales, customer service and marketing carry out every day, thus freeing up valuable time that can be used to call.

# 10: Know Your Customers

Be a consultant and ask your clients questions. This will allow you to guide your customers to buy products or services that interest them to gain maximum satisfaction.

Client Relations: 10 Secrets to Increase Your Sales

Prepare Your Start Strategy

 1. The first impression is key.

You will never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Therefore, from the beginning focus on satisfying the wishes of the customer and do not focus only on submitting an offer. If your start is weak, the end will be the same. Take advantage of the first meeting so that your consumers are convinced - through a good deal - that you are their best choice and, of course, that they are important to you too. Otherwise, then you will have to work hard to change a bad first impression.

2. Draw up a plan to win customers.

Planning your actions will give you great advantages to offer a service of excellence. Create a general plan before dealing with new customers and a special plan for your primary accounts. Outline each of your prospects based on general data and specific needs you observe. The purpose is to develop targeted actions to cover these gaps. Remember that the plan is only a starting point that should be adapted as the case, because each customer is different.

3. Listen first and anticípate.

Once you have drawn up a plan, the second step is called "anticípate". How to do it? It allows the client to explain in detail what you want. Sometimes words are not a sufficient resource to express what we actually feel, so also take into account the expressions of the face and gestures. When it is your turn to speak, use all the information you have captured to present the characteristics of your product or service as the exact solution to the demands made. Karl Albrecht, a management specialist and pioneer of the new service economy, explains in his book All Power to the Customer that "excellence in service is only possible when the satisfaction of customer expectations has been overcome." Conclusion: anticípate and sees beyond.

4. Choose a good place for your business.

The location is a fundamental point so that customers enjoy going to your business with pleasure and without complications. Take into account the routes of communication to get to your premises and the type of area, that is, that is not too conflicting, dangerous or difficult to access. It also considers it a priority to have your own parking lot or make an alliance with one nearby and offers a special rate for your buyers. It would not do any good if the design of your store is spectacular and you have the best products at competitive prices if you do not get people to come to you without major obstacles.

Meet Your Client

5. Study your market.

 Invest time to be an expert in your market. Attend trade shows and events that your consumers consider important. There you can live close to them. It also takes the opportunity both to observe what your competition is doing and to detect what kind of products and services are most in demand. Another option is to keep up to date on market trends through specialized publications and engaging and participating in chambers and trade associations.

6. Put yourself in your client's shoes.

 A serious mistake is to think that customer service is a standardized activity and that the same tactics will work to meet everyone's expectations. People are unique and special. Put yourself in the shoes of the other party and ask yourself the following question: how would I like to be treated: right or wrong? Then he offers a deal, at least, good. Better yet, excellent. It starts with a general plan of care and, as the case may be, designs specific strategies to create a "different" experience for each client.

7. How to start with the right foot?

The secret is to ask the right questions at the beginning and at the end of the conversation you have with a client. Thank him for the time he has given you and then ask: Just out of curiosity, reasons for keeping the appointment. A great number of them have dealings with various corporations and products, and they will inform you about such dealings. You just concentrate on listening. This fact will show that, on the one hand, you are interested, while you will get valuable information and the communication channel will be open for when it is your opportunity to present your proposals.

8. Ask the right questions.

 A common mistake is to question clients in an incisive way. For example: What goals would you like to achieve in your company? Even if you receive an answer, it may not be quite true. Another mistake is to ask: are you satisfied with the sales of your business? The answer will be "yes" or "no", ending with the conversation. Instead, consider this position: "Based on your experience, what tools, allies or resources do you need to increase your sales?" The question is direct and leaves the answer "open", inviting the consumer to share everything that you have in mind. Predict these situations and prepare yourself before an appointment. The client will feel that he is in front of an expert capable of providing him with an excellent service.

9. What does a client look for?

When a person buys a product or service he is actually buying emotions. If we all have five senses, it causes your consumers to experiment with each one of them. For example, going to the cinema is not limited to watching a movie, but to a moment of entertainment that is accompanied by images, sounds, food and drinks. "Quality" is what you should give the customer. "Service" is the way in which you are going to give it. You choose the way: Deliver a pizza in less than 30 minutes; A courier service in just 24 hours; If there is no business for you, we will give you back your money, etc.

Strategies To Conquer

10. Show why you are the best choice.

When you are in charge of the first task entrusted to you by your client, do not forget to provide updated information on your progress. It shares all the results - good and bad - and solves the problems presented together. Demonstrate, at all times, that you are doing your best and that you work to achieve mutual benefit. If you get it, you will not only build a good relationship, but you will also create a feeling of satisfaction in your consumer, which will help you improve the chances of winning that account and many more.

Putting The Customer First: Secret To A Successful Business

After many years of working with companies around the world looking for the answer to this question I have discovered that customers are as demanding as relentless. They will more than reward those companies that serve their interests, and likewise allow those companies that serve them poorly to fail.

It's not that customers do not care about the fate of a particular company, but they worry even more about themselves, and their own satisfaction, than they care about the success or failure of a particular company. When you see a business that has broken down and had to close its doors, you can be sure that it has been a business that either did not want or could not serve enough customers at a price that would allow them to continue operating. Customers simply silently leave that business, let their friends know, and never come back.

The second part of this law says that customers will always seek to pursue the easiest way to meet their most pressing needs. From the client's point of view, all his actions are perfectly calculated. The client always knows what their interests will best serve. When you embark on a new business, you place all your financial future at the mercy of being able to satisfy your customers every day. From the moment you open your doors, your customers will determine what you will sell, how much you will sell, at what price, and what your profit margin will be.

The third part of this law says that every business plan must begin with the customer in the centre.
One of the biggest dangers that any company can run is losing contact with its customers and the needs they seek to satisfy. Many entrepreneurs tend to talk too much with each other, ignoring the person who ultimately determines the success or failure of the company.

Any board of directors, any marketing committee, any new product development team, should erect a mental statue of their client and put it on the same table where they sit down to make decisions. Before any meeting that discusses what you want to do as to your product or service is concerned, ask yourself: If this statue of truth were my client, and he would be here, listening to us, what would be his impressions?  What will he or she think about our plans? Will he or she support our decisions?

Concentrate on your client. Recall that it is he who gives life to your business.
