    Top Customer Service Speaker Says: Forget About Service, Focus On Satisfaction!
    “I really LOVE my customers,” I heard one agent gush.“My customers ADORE me!” another one boasted.“I always try to do something EXTRA,” confides a third.Ask most customer service managers what they would think about these three reps and they’d probably beam with pride and be elated.Each rep sounds as if she is reaching for the stars, never satisfied, and always achieving.I hate to bear bad news, but they’re all off the mark.Customer SERV
    unately the sector is also rife with people who behave like that, including well-meaning souls who simply don’t understand better.

    There was only one sane way we could prevent that, and that was to charge a small fee which would still ensure accessibility to anyone who was serious about developing a business, but would discourage others from joining.

    We set a fee of just $US25 per annum. Small enough to be inconsequential to bona fide marketers, but large enough to be not worth the trouble for those who just wanted to spam, or who wanted to behave in ways that they knew would get them banned, with the associated loss of that

    A Business Lesson from Baseball
    Few personalities dominated the American scene like basball slugger George Herman “Babe” Ruth. He entered the major leagues as a pitcher, but also won fame with the Boston Red Sox as a powerful hitter.Since a pitcher can’t play every day, somebody recommended Babe be placed in the outfield. This may have been one of baseball’s greatest decisions.Babe was traded to the New York Yankees in 1920, and became a superstar, media personality, and a hero to millions. He pl
    In 2007 we dramatically increased the depth and breadth of business development resources available to our members through an on-line business social networking hub called My Speed Business Network (www.betterbusiness.speedbusinessnetworking.com).

    We quickly found ourselves flooded with overwhelming numbers of MLM consultants, most of whom clearly had no idea of business or professionalism. The work involved in trying to prevent spamming, and cleaning up when something slipped through, was horrendous to say the least.

    We had no choice but to enforce a blanket ban on MLM of any kind.

    However at the same time we recognize that MLM (network marketing) is a phenomenal business model that has benefits across almost any context one could think of: economical, social, political, ethical, philosophical, and so on. It actually does contain some of the most highly-skilled and respected business people on the planet. And yet its reputation amongst the corporate sector is in tatters because of the actions of well-meaning folk who buy the dream without having proper business skills (or attitudes) who simply don’t understand the right way to go about business development.

    So while we continued to ban MLM from My Speed Business Network, we launched MLMprofessionals.biz in a massive effort to support the sector in a bigger and better way than ever before.

    This networking hub for MLM/network marketers provides all of the resources of My Speed Business Network, but also:

    • Protects you and others against MLM scammers who don’t deserve to be in business
    • Helps attract better educated and qualified people to your downlines
    • Helps your downlines sell more product
    • Helps consultants to network and expand globally
    • Provides personal and professional development so that your downline participants can increase acceptance in their corporate sector
    • Generally raises the profile and credibility of network marketing as an important and valid business model
    • Allows free classified advertising
    • Lets you announce company meetings or other events
    • Provides you with a private “club” for your own downline
    • And much, much more

    There was just one pitfall. We knew from past experience if we made this resource totally free then we would once again set ourselves up for a nightmare of administration, and be subject to flaming and other abuse as thanks for our troubles. Yes, as well as having amongst it some of the finest and most inspiring business people on the planet, unfortunately the sector is also rife with people who behave like that, including well-meaning souls who simply don’t understand better.
