			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- 		@page { margin: 0.79in } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-328" title="draw" src="http://smallbusinessdigest.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/draw1.jpg" alt="draw" width="170" height="76" />Most companies around the globe has gotten the rid of losing customers while some know the cause and some are not yet familiar with the problem. You can&#8217;t imagine a business set up only to stay away from regarding the buyers and keeping a complicated record of it&#8217;s customers. While you are a small business owner that doesn&#8217;t want to lose a hair in your business, this are giants in the field that has so many customers, therefore, keeping no regard of them.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">Below are good five things you must avoid in your business if you know you don&#8217;t want to lose your customers:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">Ignoring customers feedback: you certainly won&#8217;t love to lose any of your customers. Therefore, keep note of their feedback and do something about it. A customer can complain about your way of service and another will complain about the the product you sell(if you are a product deliverer). To keep this customers on a better lane in your business, you can reach them back by telling them how you have improved your service or your product that best suite them after you must have done something that reach their need concerning their complain.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">Pushing your customers around: Be aware of your customers and don&#8217;t go like other business owners that doesn&#8217;t know their customers. You should know how to cut off stress on your customers in other words, avoid stressing your customers when they call or trying to make an order from you. So many business owners never know this and tell the customer to repeat himself on a call trying to buy from him or keep a hard way of making sell in the business, this is too bad.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">Neglecting loyalty: Don&#8217;t forget about those loyal customers that has been in business with you for years only trying to make new ones or strike a deal with direct customers. Some companies make this mistake of promoting products only with new customers neglecting the old ones irrespective of years of business with them. In you business, keep it straight. Promotions should be made on both the old and new customers if you know you don&#8217;t want to lose your old ones.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">Communication and cultural difference: Not every customer communicate easily and not all your customers keep the same culture with you. This are things you should put in regard in your business if you dream of soaring high in that business. There are people that find it very hard to communicate with one another while some are natural problems like the deaf. Your ability to communicate with this people gives you an edge in your business and a better understanding of your customers without making them do things in your own way as a result of cultural difference, keeps you on a better side in your business.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">Therefore, be your customers hear to hear more of what you can offer and their mouth to help them speak better.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">Avoid selling! Selling!! selling!!!: You read me right. Avoid selling all the time without minding who is buying. Ask any successful business person his objective, aims and reason behind his business success, it is creating values and not selling. Your ability to create undeniable values gives you more sell and not selling selling selling. Most business owners keeps an unstoppable selling without minding the buyer, this should not be the same with you as you should know that the reason of running a business is to make life easy for your customers.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">I am giving you this report for free because I needed to see change in your business. Until you are successful that&#8217;s when I have come success. I don&#8217;t need to sell this information because I am so concern about your success. This should also be your mindset in you business over your customers. Value! Value!! Value!!! and not Selling! Selling!! Selling!!!.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">Above are good ways to avoiding losing your existed and new customers. If you have been a consistent reader on this site you should know that I always warn about application. Until you apply what you read, it has no meaning to you and will as well deliver you no value. Application is a vital skill in the school of success, knowing it is one thing and applying it is another thing. Therefore, apply what you have just read.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">SEE YOU AT THE TOP.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">Nothing happens in a business unless you make that sell. And only one sell does not guarantee success , your success are guaranteed and stamped under the rules of repeat sales. In other words, repeat sales are what makes success in business. This is why you should focus on making more sales and not just a sell. One good way to stay on the array of selling is locating a need in your business.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">While there are different ways to approach a need in your business, there are as well crucial steps to it. But in this article, I will be showing you ways to catch your buyers need that will make them to always return to you for more. Let&#8217;s quickly expand our understanding on needs and wants.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">NEED: Is to require something as a result of it&#8217;s vitality. It is different from having something because you like them. It is having something because it is important to you.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">WANT: Having a desire for something. In other words, having a mere desire over something that are not much important to you.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">In contrast, Need have to do with important while Want is just a mere desire. I believe this helps your understanding as to what need and want are. Let&#8217;s roll:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">Finding a need in your business is a very important aspect to put into consideration before going into business if you know you will be in business and not off business in some years to come. Therefore, below are simple outlined ways to find a need in your business: I have made them simple for easy understanding and remembrance, even there are three in number.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-319" title="researcher" src="http://smallbusinessdigest.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/researcher.jpg" alt="researcher" width="135" height="170" />Make that research</strong>: Research helps us be in the updated form in our areas of endeavor. Be a good researcher in your business in other to keep update in that business, as no business person will love to loose a single customer. Try to read your buyer&#8217;s mind to know what he/she will love to spend money on. I do this by intelligently listening to my buyers comment each time i tell them the new product the company is about to launch.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-317" title="crowd" src="http://smallbusinessdigest.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/crowd2.jpg" alt="crowd" width="170" height="128" />Ask your buyer</strong>: What make a good business person is how he communicate with his prospects. So many businessperson(s) don&#8217;t mind their prospects while the successful ones do. Be a good questioner by asking your buyers what are those things that they would love to get from your company.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><strong>Reach out to your competitors</strong>: You certainly will be off business if you don&#8217;t regard your competitors. Bear in mind that your competitors also help to rate your success in business. What exactly are they doing and who is getting it right? This should be your mindset.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">Below are three good ways you can invent to locate a need in your business. As we have discuss earlier, only repeat sales guarantee success and only need can turn out repeat sales. Therefore, your ability to locate a need in your business can turn you to that millionaire next door.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-284" title="hungry market" src="http://smallbusinessdigest.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/hungry-market1.jpg" alt="hungry market" width="83" height="125" />In my days in high school, i am taught that in business, location is a very important aspect to keep in mind for anyone that want success over his enterprise.<br />
While this has been truth ever since those days, it is this same truth that we all need to implement for a successful business. Both the street side business, the entrepreneur, the online marketer etc.<br />
Business is all about location. If you fail to locate the right person in need of what you offer as a product or service, that starts your failure. For instance, a shoe producer displaying his market in an electronics shop. This is failure.<br />
If you are a shoe marketer, you have to know the kinds of shoe you market, is it for women, men or both. For women, places like hair dressing saloon, women boutique can be a good place while for men, opening men&#8217;s boutique can be consider a good step.<br />
Note that the above illustration is an example to highlight more on location in a business. It emphasize on displaying your product in front of your buyers, this way alone guarantee sales.<br />
Now that you have known how to and where to display your products, how then will you know that there are awaiting buyers for your offer.</p>
<p>-You must try to know the peoples need and not want</p>
<p>-what is the region you are covering lacking. Hot regions will respond well if you come up with mc donald ice cream.Therefore, what volume of people offer this service.</p>
<p>-How much are your buyers be willing to pay to get the product. Their pocket weight matters no matter how beneficial your products must be to them</p>
<p>-You can use media, magazines etc to know what people comment mostly on, then you come up with a strong market.</p>
<p>-Pay special attention to your buyers demand and know what they are mostly to buy.</p>
<p>Locating a hungry market can be quite easy if you keep a couple of the highlighted points above. Coming up with a need, reaching a demand with a good competitive price guarantee sales and this is in no doubt a hungry market.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-275" title="hands shaking" src="http://smallbusinessdigest.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/hands-shaking.jpg" alt="hands shaking" width="125" height="83" />&#8221;Your business is dead if you can&#8217;t keep an existing customers and yet unable to make new ones&#8221;  &#8211; Clet Anni.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">Nothing happens in a business void of customers as there will be no cash flow in the business. Only the inflow of customers to your business can guarantee sales as you cannot make negotiation more or less make sale in the absence of customers in a business.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> CUSTOMERS AND POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">There is a big difference between customers and potential customers just the way there is sales and repeat sales. Your customers are people that buy your product/service once and did not return for another order while potential customers are people that keep buying from you.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">Your ability to keep a potential customers and still create new ones helps in the growth of your business as it will increase sales (everything being equal) means growth in business.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">Here are good ways to make more customers to your business while still keeping the existing ones:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">1. <strong>Advertising</strong>: You 	certainly will like to make more customers prior to the existing 	ones. Advertising your products/services brings your offer in front 	of interested buyers. Therefore, Create a budget for 	advertising and advertise more and more of your product.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">2. <strong>Marketing</strong>: Marketing 	and advertising are almost the same but not actually the same as one 	may thought. Acute marketing is standing up to the benefits of your 	products to your buyers. Go into acute marketing by telling your 	buyers what they will lack if they happens to miss your offer. Let 	them know how your offer can help them.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">3. <strong>Show concern to 	existing customers</strong>: If you think your behavior does not rate on your 	business, then ask your existing prospects. Your character counts 	and your manner of approach is a considerable factor in terms of 	prospect management.You need to treat your 	existing customers very well because they will always seat at the 	back seat of your marketing drive.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><em>Above are but few ways to get more prospects to your business while you still keep the existing ones. Hence, creating rooms for growth in your business.</em></p>
