Do You Know This Secret Way To Connect With Your Prospects

What if you could tell your customers about problems and explain to them in a friendly informed way. Rather than them finding out through the grapevine? Or how about releasing the beta of a new product which your customers already know is coming, have been involved in defining what it is and what it does and have already pre-ordered?

What about showing your customers the different people in your organisaton, what they get up to, the news ones, the leavers and the how they all contribute to your customer magic?

Are your staff upset if customers ring up and argue with them over something that wasn't even their fault? Does your support cost escalate year on year? Do you find yourself wondering whether this company is a good idea anymore?

Do you struggle to convince your current customers to give you referrals? Do you find sales take a lot of face to face contact. Because your company moves fast does your web site even reflect what you're all about anymore. Put it this way if you have your team on the site are they still the same people?

If you find yourself in any of those situations there's a secret that will help propel you out of the rut and into the limelight.

That secret is strategic blogging. I don't mean, "yeah, ok. Let's get someone to do a few blog posts every week about stuff to do with our industry, clients and the firm."

What I'm talking about is integrating your blogging into your business strategy. That means at the high level you're talking about how you'll use blogging to achieve business goals.

Blogging strategies could include:

1) A relaxed, informal method of putting the company's viewpoint from one or more staff using a message that toes the company line but doesn't constrain the bloggers freedom to make their point.
2) Provide a place on the blog where all issues discovered at customer sites for the products are posted about and feedback provided by customers. Then use the blog to ask for ideas to generate new products and services that your current customers might buy from you.

Victoria's Secret - Too Sexy? - This will be upsetting for some men. I just heard a report about Victoria's Secret and it was interesting. Their sales were down drastically in the 4th quarter of 2007 and the report was about how they are thinking the company has gotten too far away from the heritage that made it the blockbuster company it is. They are thinking the ads etc have become too sexy and the plan (at the moment) is to make the ads more sophisticated. That would be like the Super Bowl commercial which was very tasteful, but very different from any Victoria's Secret I've seen lately. Who do you all think the current sexy ads are targeting? I think its the men that they hope will buy these items for their female significant others. I hate to give Omarosa any kudos - but most women aren't "sold" on an item by an ad of a near naked sexy woman. Shri
Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!

I was mainly referring to Auto Responder emails. To end a normal email, I attach signatures. Takuya
