What is your business gift?

Posted on February 5, 2013 by Annie

Live out your dream for your business. What is in your heart? What unique gift do you have? Listen to your intuition. Limit your distractions,. Focus and visualize it.How does it feel when you have it? What color is it? What does it smell like?

Find that gift you have, share it with the world.Just the right people are waiting to hear it in only the way you can tell it. They may have heard something similar to what you are saying many times, but until they hear it from you… your story…nothing will make sense! Really you say? Yes…really! Find your dream very soon and share it…..people are waiting on you.

ps—I hope those words help you as they are helping me.

Embracing love…

Show your customer love!

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Annie

Do your customers know they are appreciated? What are you doing to boost your customer loyalty and appreciation?

Customers want to be heard. They also want to know that you will do something about any complaints they may have. Take some time to read your support requests, Twitter mentions, and Facebook talk. Interact often. Be present in your social networks. Not pushy but always there to lend a hand.

Maybe your customers want to choose how often they receive your “Tips and Tricks” newsletter? Ask them. Do a survey. All you have to do is find the right balance.

If you are launching a new product that will demand more support from your team, be prepared to offer that. Never ignore your customers, it will surely come back to bite you.

Send out just a simple recognition that you appreciate their business. Whether it’s in the form of a discount or a simple email that says, “Hey! We appreciate you!” Show your customers some love!

How do you show customer love?

Giving..A gift to myself and others

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Annie

“You cannot give to others something you don’t have.”

How many times have we heard this? I know I should do this (there is that word-”should”) but I don’t always take time to do it. I get caught up in the day, in a project, and whatever needs to be done all too easily.

Recently, I have learned to wind down at least 45 minutes before sleep-time and pamper myself. I put lotion on my feet, giving myself a foot massage of sorts, I grab my favorite book or a new magazine and just climb into my warm, happy, inviting bed and get some much needed R&R. It helps!

I vow to remember to do this consistently.My gift to me…. Reminder: Give to yourself 1st! Then you can help others.

What are you thoughts?
