The Invisible Customer

2010-09-30T09:53:00.000+08:00

How many times have you as a customer felt as though you were putting a salesperson out by asking for assistance or interrupting them as they were engaged in a personal conversation with a co-worker or friend?

I can recall times I've actually said to different store clerks, who were either fully engaged in telling their co-workers about the wild party they attended over the weekend or the big fight they had with their husband, "I'm sorry to bother you, but do you have this in my size?" and have them look at me as if I had just shattered the most important moment in their life.

Have you ever had an experience like this?

Many years ago when competition was almost non-existent for many businesses, consumers accepted this type of behavior because they didn't have many options to choose from.

Business owners had the upper hand and could charge the prices they wanted without having any real concern for whether or not the customer was truly satisfied or had their need fully met.

Today, competition is fierce, particularly with the power of the Internet and expanding global markets.

If a consumer doesn't like the product or service, or has a bad experience, all she has to do is tuck her credit card back into her purse and take her pick of any number of other businesses who will gladly give her what she's looking for.

She doesn't even have to leave her home if she doesn't want to! She can shop online from thousands of vendors who will gladly deliver the goods right to her doorstep.

What does this new reality of conducting business mean to you as a small business owner or home-based entrepreneur?

It means you have to provide exceptional customer service and top quality products if you want to build long-term relationships with your clients and customers.

If you have employees, it is also critical that they understand the importance of making each customer feel like a million dollar customer. It's all about the experience you provide – the feeling your customer has when doing business with you.

Get to know your customers. Find out what they're looking for and why by asking questions, then really listen to what they say. Make it a point to truly understand what it is they want to create or solve, then if you can provide a solution, offer it to them.

Building a successful, profitable business is dependent on establishing long-term, loyal customers. Having to pursue new customers to replace those who are not returning can become tiring and expensive.

As you serve new and existing customers and clients, make them feel heard, seen and valued. No one likes to be invisible, especially those who are about to hand over their hard earned money.

Treat every customer like a million dollar customer because when you build a long-term relationship with them, they just might very well become one.

Online Poker Room Psych 101

2010-09-30T09:52:00.002+08:00

It's hard enough to keep it in mind when you're playing with chips in a casino, but in an online poker room it's even easier to forget that you're wagering actual money. When all you've got to do to stay in the game is click a button, you can get yourself into loads of trouble, if you're not careful.

To keep your head (and your trigger finger) "in the game" and under control in the online poker room, follow these simple but vital guidelines:

Stay Focused
In a land-based casino, distractions come in the form of cocktail waitresses, bright colors, loud music, flashing lights. In an online poker room, they come in the form of the TV, the phone, the kids (or the parents), the refrigerator, the dog, other websites...

Before entering the online poker room, minimize all distractions as best you can, because in the end distractions will do worse by you than even your opponents. Don't start playing when you're in the middle of cooking or homework or doing laundry. Don't sit down to play right before you have to leave the house for an appointment. Don't play when you're so exhausted, you can barely keep your eyes open.

Staying focused also involves playing only when you're in the right headspace. If you're thinking about a fight you just had with a parent or a lover; if you're worried about money, bills, your job, school, or your health; if your head is not in the game, get out of the game until you are ready.

Stay Smart
There's a big difference between being bold and being careless. Playing bold is calmly and rationally considering all the facts of the hand at that moment in time before making any aggressive moves, whereas playing carelessly is basing your moves on emotions. Boredom, hopelessness and frustration, insecurity and self-doubt, arrogance, superstition, impulsiveness, laissez faire -- all of these lead to careless play. Observation, careful analysis, patience, discipline -- all these lead to intelligent play, which is sometimes bold, sometimes reserved.

Stay Calm
People don't like to lose -- you don't, we don't -- it's a fact of human psychology. The very act of losing then, especially when one expects to win, can easily put even the most hardened player on tilt.

To be on tilt is to be off your game, to be distracted by your emotions (frustration, remorse/regret, fear, anger) from making sound decisions. In an online poker room, coming from an emotional place rather than a rational one is the equivalent of playing with impaired judgment.

To subvert your opponents' abilities to put you on tilt, simply turn off the chat feature. Any online poker room with a chat feature will give you the option to turn it off -- usually right from the table itself. You can still view the real-time betting sequence of each hand but without all the distracting and potentially off-putting chatter.

Of course if you do this, you also forfeit your ability to put other players on tilt. Here, it's a choice. If you feel steely-nerved and aggressive, go for it. Just don't cross the line from the controlled and deliberate method of putting another player on tilt to bullying and spouting hostility. There is a difference, and we bet you already know it.

Stay Healthy
It's a sickness -- becoming so obsessed with the game that you forget to eat, drink water, or sleep. Don't laugh -- it's easy to do. You're in a tournament and one hour turns into seven and suddenly it's nighttime and you haven't had breakfast yet, or it's morning already and you've been sitting in that one position all night. Yikes! Fun is fun, but please don't make yourself ill having it.

Which brings up one final point...

Stay Sober
Really -- if you're going to get wasted before you enter the online poker room, will give you give us a heads up so we can join you at the table? Seriously, if you're going to throw your money away like that, you might as well throw it in our direction.

Don't Waste Time With A Free Reverse Mobile Phone Directory

2010-08-12T21:01:00.003+08:00

Have you ever been on the receiving end of a harassing telephone calls? Many people have, and if you are one these people currently confronted with this situation, you will be relieved to know that there are now ways to find out who is has calling without saying anything, hanging up when you answer, or uttering obscene words in the receiver. The days of these people going unidentified are gone.

With the technology of today, phones have features that enable you to block any call that does not display a telephone number when coming in. An added bonus to this feature is that you can locate and find out the name and other personal information by doing a search by phone.

The Reason Why a Free Reverse Mobile Phone Directory Doesn't Work

Having never done this kind of search, your first visit when doing a reverse phone lookup may be using a phone directory service. You will easily be able to find more than a few online. If the telephone number you are searching is published, the directory will inform you of the name and complete address of the person you are searching. But the majority of your searches will more than likely have to be found using a directory with a much more extensive database.

The most common problem when using one of the free reverse phone directories is that they don't carry enough information in their databases. They do not carry information for unlisted numbers or cell phone numbers

A paid reverse cell phone directory will generally contain all of the information a searcher is after. These directories are the where you will be able to search for owners of unlisted telephone numbers and wireless numbers.

The Number Advantage of a Reverse Mobile Phone Directory

A fee-based service offers a much broader and larger database covering the whole country. They provide free initial search help that expands into other people search services. The directory will require a one-time fee in order to be able to gain access to their database, but a yearly subscription will give you the benefit of being able to perform many searches.

After you have paid for your yearly subscription you have the luxury of performing searches from the comfort of your home. The search system set up by the directory is simple to use. You just enter the area code of the number along with the 7-digit local number into the site and soon you will have access to a report that contains many different personal facts. Example details of a report include address, name, relatives, neighbors, and past addresses.

The 9000 Bold White offers a range of connectivity features so users stay connected on the move. The primary means of network connection is via class 10 versions of both GPRS and EDGE. Connection to 3G networks is through HSDPA at speeds of up to 3.6Mbps. On top of this, Wi-Fi connectivity takes advantage of local wireless internet routers for a faster internet connection. Bluetooth version 2.0 is installed as standard which allows users to share files and data with other Bluetooth compatible devices in the same vicinity. GPS with A-GPS support finishes off the impressive connectivity package.

The 9000 Bold White is equipped with a digital camera boasting 2MP which takes reasonably high quality photos. The camera operates at a pixel resolution of 1600x1200 and includes an LED flash for taking pictures in low lighting conditions. As an alternative to taking still images, it can also record video.

The handset also features a versatile media player which plays media files in a range of music and video file formats.

Accredited Work From Home Jobs - Start Here Right Now!

2010-08-07T19:04:00.000+08:00

What distinguishes our era?

Currently, working from home concept has become much popular than ever before. Adding to this, accredited work from home jobs have been introduced to the field in a unique way, thanks to the modern communication methods. Consequently, these job opportunities are grabbed by numerous internet users who have surplus time to execute online projects and earn an attractive income.

Is it the right time now to start any legitimate work from home jobs?

Yes, it is definitely the right time to start. As a matter of fact, it is obvious that virtual (online) work from home is much more effective than classical job opportunities, e.g. truck driving and receptionist jobs. In this manner, it should be admitted that internet serves as an optimum platform, which makes it easy for almost everyone to own his own accredited work from home job.

What is the best starting point?

The best to do is to start digging in the internet to see what others say. It does not hurt at all to learn from others' experiences and mistakes. In this context, why do not you check online forums and discussion rooms to see what other members are talking about? I would advise you to start with warrior forum as it is the most reputable online forum for accredited work from home jobs.

Adding to this, numerous websites operate throughout the internet to offer the highest paying jobs for interested people. This would help you to come across a spectrum of different home-based projects listed under one segment. Then, it would be much easier for you to target an opportunity that fits you.

What is the top accredited work from home job?

Indeed, there is no unique answer to this question. However, since I have been working online for more than 3 years, I can give you a brief of the top legitimate business opportunities, e.g. bilingual jobs, accounting jobs, health care jobs, etc.

How to select the best one among the previous options?

Obviously, with such a wide gamut of home-based jobs, you will surely find a project that may suit your requirements. Nevertheless, you should check 2 factors that can help you to meet an optimal decision. The first factor is to choose a niche that is related to your hobbies, e.g. saddles in case you are a horse rider. This would eliminate the bad feeling that you are on duty.

The second factor is to select a business opportunity that matches your background and past experiences. This will help you to leave a personal finger print on your business making it looks unique.

What should you keep in mind before starting up any home-based business?

In fact, you should be well equipped with skills and information about the type of projects you accept. For example, if you do not have sufficient knowledge about web design, it is not wise at all to accept web design projects just based on primary understandings.

The level of advancement of web design has drastically increased. Therefore, if you enjoy sufficient graphic design skills, then you should try and take up freelance graphic design jobs.

What is the missing point when it comes to accredited work from home jobs?

There are numerous individuals who are unaware of job's salary to work online. However, it is widely known that your revenue may differ according to various aspects, e.g. quality of your output, clients, type of the project, quantity of the work, etc.

What are the best fields to start with?

From my experience, freelance programmers earn higher income than people doing data entry jobs. However, there are other fields that make you money and do not require technical experiences, e.g. article writing, administrative assistant jobs, manual article submissions, writing ads, etc.

What are the advantages versus disadvantages of such opportunities?

Indeed, accredited work from home jobs are temporary jobs. In other words, it is not guaranteed that you can earn money online on steady bases. Nevertheless, working online is highly coveted. It offers a great convenience to employees as they get an opportunity to accomplish their tasks from the comfort of their home.

What is my last tip for you?

To succeed online, your offered services should have an outstanding quality. In order to find competent and accredited work from home jobs, one should work hard on increasing his reputability. Furthermore, promise your clients what you can really offer them and nothing more.

The RUN Command

2009-09-27T23:24:00.001+08:00

The Run command in Windows is one of the most unused, yet powerful features (in terms of productivity) in the operating system.

Basic Run Command Information

It is accessible in one of two ways: through the start menu (Figure 1) and through the shortcut key Win+R. The dialog itself looks very unassuming, and quite user unfriendly if you ask me (Figure 2). Its main purpose, as you can see from the dialog information, is to open a program, folder, document, or Internet resource which Windows will then open.

Common Tasks with Run

Below are a list of commands you can type into the Run dialog:

Run Calculator calc
Run Command Prompt cmd
Run Firefox (if installed) firefox
Run Internet Explorer iexplore
Run Microsoft Word (if installed) winword
Run Microsoft Excel (if installed) excel
Run Microsoft Outlook (if installed) outlook
Run Notepad notepad
Run Wordpad wordpad
Open Control Panel control panel
Open Program Files folder %programfiles%
Shutdown Windows shutdown
Restart Windows shutdown -r
Log Off Windows logoff
Registry Editor regedit
Task Manager taskmgr
Windows Update Launches wupdmgr

Creating Your Own Run Commands

If you are like me, you will use a few programs very frequently. One way to make them start faster is to give them their own Run command:

1. Win+R to open the Run dialog
2. Enter %windir% to open the Windows directory
3. Alt+F W S to open the File menu, choose the New menu item, then the Shortcut menu item
4. Go through the wizard to create a shortcut to the desired program
5. The name you give the shortcut is what you type in the Run dialog to start the program

Infrequently Used Run Commands

Below are a list of commands you can type into the Run dialog, split into several categories: programs, control panels, computer administration tools, and special folders.

Programs

Character Map charmap
Check Disk Utility chkdsk
Clipboard Viewer clipbrd
Free Cell freecell
Hearts Card mshearts

Using Run as a Command Prompt

One of the strengths of the Run command is its ability to do almost everything the command line can do. You should note, however, that if you're running a program that outputs something and exits, that the output will only show up for a few seconds and then disappear.

Take the ipconfig command for example. If you were to type that into Run, it would open a command prompt, run the ipconfig command, and then close because the command finished running! To fix this, type cmd into the Run dialog, and then type ipconfig into the command prompt.

cut-off your electricity bills by just changing your homepage.

2009-09-27T19:35:00.002+08:00

most of us have yahoo, msn, or google.com as their homepages on their browsers. it has nothing wrong with it but we can cut-off our PC-related electricity bills by just changing our homepages to black ones. i think there is a similar thread about creating a black google for firefox but we will concentrate only on the homepage.

How?

choose from this wide choices of energy-efficient homepages:

1. BLACKLE http://www.blackle.com

blackle is the most popular customized black page that is been using by many end-users as their homepages.

the about page contains the article saying that by using blackle, 750 megawatts might be saved in our energy costs.

How is Blackle saving energy?

Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Blackle searches are powered by Google Custom Search.

Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002

In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages.

We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.
How can you help?

We encourage you to set Blackle as your home page. This way every time you load your Internet browser you will save a little bit of energy. Remember every bit counts! You will also be reminded about the need to save energy each time you see the Blackle page load.

Help us spread the word about Blackle by telling your friends and family to set it as their home page. If you have a blog then give us a mention. Or put the following text in your email signature: "Blackle.com - Saving energy one search at a time".

Have a look at our energy saving tips page for ideas on steps you can take to save energy or you can follow Blackle on Twitter and we will keep you updated with simple energy saving tips.

There are a lot of great web sites about saving energy and being more environmentally friendly. They are full of great tips covering the little things that we can all do to make a difference today. Try Blackling "energy saving tips" or visit one of the many great blogs dedicated to environmental awareness.

2. BLACKGOOGLE http://www.blackgoogle.eu

blackgoogle.eu said on their page that we can reduce eyestrain while using their pages on searching articles!

One day I was sitting in a dark room and I open google that hurt my eyes because off the monitor have too much contrast. it's too much work to change it every day.. one time I saw a website called blackle that's nice..or not.. the gray text is too dark so it's hard to read on my screen. so created a dark google variant called BPLED with some features I like including mouse over to focus the search bar, black images search (coming soon when it's done) the name means noting it's just a nice name some people call it "Black Power LED" but that's not true.

How can i help the environment?

You will greatly reduce the energy consumption of your monitor when you search with bpled.com set this your homepage to start saving your energy every day.

5. GOOBLACK (formerly known as blackgoogle.net) http://www.blackgoogle.net (redirects to http://www.gooblack.net/en/)

this is the page that i've been using recently. the mixture of google colors and the black page makes it easier for browsing and it is beautiful on the eyes Ü

Monitors displaying predominantly black colours use around 20% less energy than those displaying a predominantly white screen.
By using this special black search page instead of the default white service, you will be saving energy
and doing your bit for the environment every time you search the internet.

6. BLACKGOOGLE (site under construction) http://www.blackgoogle.com

on this site, it requires a flash plugin in order to see a globe with a printer port and its cable pin with the google logo beside it. you cannot search on this site. i think it is under maintenance.

7. BLACKGOOGLE 2 (from blogger.com) http://www.black-google.blogspot.com

A blogsite-based black google search engine!

8. BLACKGOOGLE 3 (also from blogger.com) http://google-black.blogspot.com/ Another blogsite-based black google search engine! the difference is just he included a widget on his blogsite and make the page black! :D He also offers black google chrome themes!

This is just some of many black based search engines on the world wide web. feel free to use it and you will save as much as 20% on your energy costs!
