Become Your Customer for Business Success
February 2, 2012 By Sandra Leave a Comment
What there was: 9 separate lines out the door, One cash register in the building with a process that required 2-3 visits to the “register line” when someone used a credit card, 5 calculators to share among the 9 “cashiers” (miscalculations resulted in repeated visits to the register line) A police officer to manage the grumpy customers and protect the single cash register and Customers who had pre-ordered and others who were “walk-ins”. What there was not: No “take a number” system so you either lucked with your pick of a specific line or not (more often “not”), No differentiation between lines so if … [Read More...]
The Key to Social Media Marketing Success

Today's post is courtesy of Michele Scism of Decisive Minds. . . I am often asked, “What is the one ‘secret sauce’ ingredient to a successful social media presence?” The answer to that is very easy… The “secret sauce” is Consistency with a capital C! You thought it was going to be some top secret, new social media platform or something, didn’t you? The fact is without consistency no social media plan can work; period.

Bright Shiny Objects vs Opportunities
January 25, 2012 By Sandra 6 Comments

Working with Sandy is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I’ve been a coach for 15 years and have worked with other coaches but no-one like Sandy.
I made a couple of very foolish mistakes last year in my choice of mentors but when I started working with Sandy that all changed. With her helpand support we re-framed my business, set new plans and I got very focused which allowed me to start this year off on a different level. I’m re-energized and motivated and my business is starting to thrive again.
I can always rely on Sandy to support and help me without judgment or negative criticism and I appreciate that she is very honest and is able to see solutions that I can’t always see. Her level of experience and business knowledge is huge and there are really not enough good things I can say about Sandy.
I also started working with Sandy’s back office team toward the end of last Year and with the knowledge that I now have people who can take care of my administrative business needs I can relax and breathe so I can focus on what I do best.
