Will You Add? - What Can Be Said About Business Formulas, And Should We Use Them?
Adding Business Value: How do you Add Value in your Business?
When owners of small businesses want me to coach them to grow and expand their business, I often find that they are have reached a ceiling in selling their goods (products and services) and have run out of ideas for moving forward.As I talk to them about how they currently add value to their customers' lives and to their company's assets, I find that few of them actually understand what value is. Memorably, Warren Buffett (CEO of Hathaway) said in 1999, "Price is what you pay when you buy an asset, value is what you receive for your money".Revenue - Cost = Value added Accountants say that value is the residue left when costs are subtracted from revenues.

Service Marketing - A Relationship Building Approach
Can we imagine a place in the world today without a marketing activity. It looks remote.

Marketing in simple terms is a distribution of products and services of a company in order to realize a value in form or in kind. While it is true, marketing today encompasses a wide r

Perhaps I'm more sensitive to this than others, but I want to work with people who are self-aware. I'm not expecting people to be perfect - I just want to ensure they personally know of what they speak.Marketing is all about a consistent message. How do you answer the phone?
