    So - You Want Better Customer Service
    And so it goes, another post about customer service. I was thinking the other day. Why is it that we all seem to get poor customer service more often then we’d like? From what I can tell, there are three main reasons.First. When most of us receive service that is less than what we deserve, we tend not to say anything about it. I’m not saying that you need to ream out the person at the KFC counter or always ask to “see your manager.” Mostly we just take it and move on instead of constructively letting the person right in front of you know what it is they could improve upon.Second. Let’s say you have received less than stellar service. And you, unlike many, let it be known what was or wasn’t done. And, the response is poorly hand

    Quality Hiring: Are You Doing It Right?
    Quality hiring is more than running ads, screening, interviewing and checking references. It is a series of specific procedures that can bring in top candidates or create bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Here are six ways to enhance the entire recruitment process.Select the right sourcing method. While the typical sourcing channels include in-house recruiters, employee referral programs, executive search firms, advertising, temporary staffing agencies, campus recruiting and, of course, the internet, not all will be appropriate for filling every position.

    In working with businesses and organizations of all kinds, I hear the same concerns everyday:How do we increase productivity?How do we improve Customer service?How do we keep people actively engaged in their work and with others on their team?How do we reduce turnover?How do we improve safety?Even if you aren’t thinking about or concerned about every one of those questions, I’m sure at least one of them has kept you up at night in the past.As leaders we think about these things because they impact the success of the organization. As coaches we think about how to impact these things day-to-day, person-by-person.As a coach, someone helping people improve their performance for the benefit of both

    Franchising Agreements and the Grant of Right to Sell Franchises
    When a franchisee company offers for sale of their method of doing business to the public and use of their brand-name they must list the information in a concise format in the franchise agreement. Additionally when a franchisor wishes to expand their franchise system through the use of master franchises, they will need to further describe how the master franchise is expected to go about the selling of additional franchises and give an overview of exactly what is expected in the agreements.Below you will find an excerpt from my company's franchise agreement that dealt with the grant of right to sell franchises under my brand-name.
