How Being a "Yes-Man" Can Create Powerful Customer Experiences
Employee Helping Customer

There is often a certain stigma associated with being labeled as a "yes-man".  Many people may see "yes-men" as pushovers, suck-ups, or even worse because of their eagerness to please and comply with their bosses.  But what about when it comes to providing Customer Service?  Almost all great Customer Service Experiences originate from a "yes-man"  Isn't this the best time to be a "yes-man"?   After all, the customer is essentially your boss - they spend the money that eventually comes back to you in the form of a paycheck.  Wouldn't your organization rise to new heights if everyone tried to be more of a "yes-man" when it came to Customer Service?  Read on...

The Real Cost of High Employee Turnover
Chris Young - Founder, The Rainmaker Group

Every week I help clients in thier efforts to Maximize Possibility in their organizations. Not surprisingly many organizations suffering from less than stellar performance come to us with similar questions and concerns. 
 
This past week I had a client come to me and ask me what the high turnover rate at her organization was costing her company. 
 
I explained to her that not all the costs associated with turnover are obvious and cannot be easily noticed on the bottom line.  However, even the less obvious costs associated with turnover can have a devestating impact on a firm's ability to turn a profit.  Find out more...
Just a Custodian?  What Your Team Members Really do for Your Organization
Custodian

A few months ago, I was working with a long-term care facility where I encountered a woman pushing a custodian cart.  I asked the woman what she did there.  Her exact words were...  "I am just a custodian."  Her words took my breath away.  "Just a custodian," I thought.  Ouch!  I almost thought she was kidding.

Her next statement came immediately after the first -while looking off in the distance...  "I would never have guessed at 18 that I would be just a custodian." 

My reply was, "Do you realize what you really do here?"  I don't think she did.

What does a custodian really do in a long-term care facility?  And can it be a noble cause?  Find out why...
