HOW TO TURN OFF CUSTOMERS!

I was about to toss a few brightly colored silk flowers but decided to put them in 6-inch container and set them on the balcony. That was easy enough and besides, my workstation overlooks the balcony.

Bright flowers attract birds and if I set the small container in a large dish filled with birdseed, I thought,—ta-da birds! Within an hour a humming bird came to check it out and just as quickly flew away.

Customers are like that. Give them a dud and they’ll fly on to the real thing!

GATEKEEPERS FROM HELL

Opportunity knocks everyday but with a gatekeeper from hell you’ll never know. Here are 5 intangibles to look for so you don’t get duped.
  1. Lacks experience in your industry 
  2. Lacks business maturity
  3. Lacks a business frame of reference to evaluate potential
  4. Egocentric - thinks "me" most of the time 
  5. Controlling - self-serving
Traditionally, companies put the least experienced and most underpaid at the proverbial front desk. And running a close second is the admin sitting outside the decision maker’s office.

CUSTOMERS ARE NOT THINGS
