Case Study on Public Relations for Street Sweeping Companies
Public Relations can be done for nearly any type of company. And to illustrate and illuminate this point let us consider a most unlikely candidate. What about a Street Sweeping Company? Sure there are all sorts of catchy slogans you can use and yet this is more advertising than public relations.There are things a street sweepin

Ok? Of course it’s ok. I would certainly rather wait 10 extra minutes than spend the rest of my morning running all over town. (Note that he said that the guy had already left before he asked for my permission. Great move!)

Marketing Your Business With White Papers
There are many different ways to market your business. One of the most effective is to use White Papers.What is a white paper? A white paper is a story which educates your customer and shows how your product can solve their problems.To be effective a white paper must provide information as well as a sales argument. Empha

This should have been simple. I had a 12 hour round-trip drive coming up and I thought I should get an oil change first. The car was over due and I felt it was really important to get it done before I left. So Friday morning I drove over to the local Jiffy Lube figuring they could do it quickly (You know, in a jiffy!). Maybe not. As a drove up, I saw that each of the three bays was completely empty and the four guys inside were just leaning against their tool boxes.

I parked in front of the middle bay and walked up the guy who looked most like a manager and asked if he could change my oil. He said he had to check to see if they had a filter for my car, first. With that, two of the guys went below and started digging through the supplies. A few minutes later, the verdict was in: no filter in stock. The manager said that sometimes they have one for my car, but not today. Sorry!

With that, I drove away.
My next stop was Goodyear. This time every bay was filled and everyone was running around like a chicken with its head cut off (Don’t write me if you work for the chicken lobby). I went into the lobby and asked the counter person if they could do a quick oil change. He checked his computer and said, “Let me make sure I have a filter for your car.” Two minutes later, he came out and said, “Mr. Waterhouse, my computer showed that I had your filter but I don’t see one in the supply room. I’ve just sent one of my guys out to get one and he’ll be right back. Is that ok with you?”

Balancing the Accounts and Necessity of Ledger
Balancing the AccountsWhenever it is desired to balance an account, the two sides are added up, and if the totals of the two sides are unequal then the difference is put on the side having lesser total. This will make both the sides equal. The amount of the difference inserted is known as 'balance' of the accou

ight back. Is that ok with you?”

Here is the odd thing. The Jiffy Lube is locally owned by an entrepreneur who has his hard earned cash invested in the business and only makes money when they get a car in the bay. The Goodyear store is company owned and run by a manager whose bonus goes up about five cents when he does an extra oil change. Shouldn’t the Jiffy Lube people be the ones chasing all over town for my filter?

Do you or your sales people look more like Jiffy Lube or Goodyear? How do you know? Make a few candid calls to your customers and ask them to rate your service on a scale of 1 to 5. One being, ‘we never follow through’ and five being ‘we are always proactive about solutions’.

Strive for five. It will make you more money than a dozen new customers.
