Customer service is part of the package

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Even before the current credit crunch and its effect on business in the United States and across the World, many companies both national and international, were heading slightly in the wrong direction as far as staff training was concerned. They traditionally placed too much emphasis on product knowledge, systems knowledge, and most important of all, on closing a sale.

After sales service was less of a priority for many companies who believed that their product was so much in demand that it didn’t really matter if the customer had to wait a little too long for something that they had ordered. When the customer called to ask about the status of their order, they couldn’t find the time to talk to them, and instead fobbed them off to some poorly trained and disinterested sales clerk. These “smart” sales people had no idea of the damage they were causing to themselves and their company.

Nowadays the realization is sinking in, sometimes too late, and more and more companies are placing an emphasis in investing on customer service training than ever before.

Making sound investments is aided by research. One of the best ways to get accurate research, when considering different coffee franchises, is to simply go to those who have purchased the coffee franchise you are interested in and asked them their experience.

Talk to a variety of different owners to get the best overall picture on the franchise opportunity. There is a great difference in what the franchisor will tell you about the franchise and what people who've actually invested in it and have experience with it will tell you.

I wonder if I could make any money from a vending business.

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Everywhere you look there are vending machines. Hospitals have them. Breakrooms have them. Even high schools have them. I'm sure a lot of people are making some serious cash from the vending machines that they service. I wonder if I could make any money from a vending business. I'm sure I could… if I could find a place that does not already have vending machines. But, vending machines are already located in every place of business that I would ever be able to think of. I think the vending business is like any other business. If you get in on the venture in the beginning, you will make a ton of money. If you get in after you see that a lot of people are profitting from it, you won't necessarily see similar results.
