Most Americans are very concerned about the outsourcing of American corporate jobs and yet if your job has not been outsourced yet chances are you are not worried about it. But let me tell you, you should be because you quite possibly could be next.Also consider that the average American is upside down in short term debt by 150 percent of annual earnings. The average American has less than 2.2 months worth of savings including credit cards if they lose their job. This means if they lose their job, they lose their home and their cred
The number one reason given in surveys of why a customer leaves; they don’t feel you care about them or have lost contact over time. Now, add that to the fact they get more attention from your competitors who their new business and you can understand how they drift away.
So, call former customers, write them a letter and offer a special deal for renewing the relationship. I can’t say how many people you’ll get back, but the
One of the easiest ways to boost net revenue in direct mail fundraising is to stop sending every appeal to every donor. In every donor database are donors or members who are either unresponsive or less responsive than others in your file. These donors should receive fewer mailings than your most responsive donors. Reducing the number of letters you drop in the mail immediately lowers your costs, thereby boosting your net revenue.So how do you decide who to mail? You segment your database. The thre
1. Strategy to Sell Existing Customers
Selling to the very people pre-disposed to buying from you again gives your business the best return on investment (ROI). As obvious as this would seem, many business owners get so wrapped up getting new customers they overlook such a great source of revenue growth.
The key is to get your customers to buy more frequently or buy in larger quantity. Better still, set a modest goal for both categories. A goal of just7% increase in frequency and 5% increase in average order size yields a 12% increase in revenue just to the existing customer base
Now a paradox: If you want to increase sales to your existing customers—fire your worst clients and customers. They take up way to much time and energy and rob you of the opportunity to sell to your best clients. In one extreme case Tom Choate, president of Air Systems Technology in Avon, MA, “fired 40% of his customer list!” As Tom puts it, it was not easy and it took a lot of resolve but his company came out better for it.
2. A Strategy to Recover Lost Customers and Clients
There’s not enough space here to list out all the reasons and percentages why customers stop buying from you. However, research shows that 63% of your customers who stop buying from you are recoverable. Barring any past payment issues or serious unresolved disputes there are a lot of people who may still be pre-disposed to do business with you.

Bottled Water Companies are well advised to participate in large events and promote a strong public relations campaign. Do you run the marketing department for a bottled water company? Have you see the recent backlash from environmentalists about filling up the dumps and landfills with plastic bottles?Have you read the reports on plastics and recycling? Have you considered how to address the issues that plastic bottle caps often end up with so much bacteria on them that they defeat the safety of drinking bottled water? Have you seen h

Pressure washing companies often miss what we call ‘super niche’ markets, those industries which very much need pressure washing services and are willing to pay top dollar for them. One such industry is the signage business. For a pressure washing company with no relatives or friends in that industry it is hard to break in and get work there, however if you con-brand with an existing company you may find yourself with more work than you can handle and able to bill at very high ratesHaving been in the pressure washing industry some 25

Starting and running your own business can be exciting and rewarding, but it can also be very stressful. For most of our almost 40 year marriage my husband has been an entrepreneur and I have sometimes worked with him. Having built my own business as a Stress Reduction Coach I have been reflecting on the stresses of being an entrepreneur. Signs and sources of stress Some of the signs of stress overload include irritability, anxiety about the sustainability of the business, and/or high business debt. Relationships with

3. A Strategy for Referrals
Taking a closer look this is actually a strategy with two parts. The firs part is having a plan or plans to actually get referrals from your satisfied customers and clients. The old fashioned ways is still by far the most effective way, first do what is necessary to earn referrals, then, ask for them. You can ask for them directly, in a letter or survey, or offer a premium or special deal. The key is to ask, thank them in some way, and follow up quickly.
The second part is a lot easier; start the sales process with a call, a letter, and special offer. You have the advantage of an introduction from someone who is a person of influence. You have a targeted prospect that is pre-qualified and receptive to your marketing message. You’re several steps ahead in the selling cycle, but don’t assume the sale is automatic.
Do your normal great job and get paid twice. You now have two satisfied clients/customers giving you referrals, not one.
4. A Strategy for Getting New Customers/Clients
Regardless of the systems you have in place for recruiting and closing new business this is still the most expensive way to grow your business, but necessary. There are as many ways to get new business as there are businesses. A high risk way of getting new business; use one method to get seventy five new customers. The low risk way, use seventy five different ways to get one client with each.
Of course the answer depends on you, your company and the means you choose to employ to get new business. What you should know before your start spending a dime on new business is the lifetime value, or residual
