What is your body language saying?

The majority of the message that we receive when we speak with another person comes not from the words we use or the tone of our voice. Instead, it comes from the way we stand before the other individual. It is called "body language". This series of informational photos are created to assist you understand the "message" a customer receives as you are standing in front of them.

There are 7 positions. We suggest you visit each of the pages and print them for use in your business as an educational tool. We have created them using various attire.
Photo #1 is with a coat and tie.

Top Story

We see a lot of social media with what we think is a "sympathy plea" do do business with local small businesses.

 

It is not going to work. People select where they do business based on positive reasons. We discuss what we are seeing.

Article of the Month

A timely article for the holiday season. With any business that has inventory, are you looking at sales per square foot? Are you looking to see which is the most valuable space in your business? You can increase sales by knowing which items to place where.


Book of the Month

Fix This Next by Mike Michalowicz. We love this description of the book; The biggest problem entrepreneurs have is that they do not know what their biggest problem is.

 

If you find yourself trapped between stagnating sales, staff turnover, and unhappy customers, what do you fix first? Every issue seems urgent - but there is no way to address all of them at once. The results? A business that continues to go in endless circles putting out urgent fires and prioritizing the wrong things.
