The problem we often see today is the lack of knowledge businesses have when it comes to knowing their target audience. When asked, 50% of businesses feel that they don’t know their target audience. This is a crippling statistic for the fact that one of the most important aspects of having a successful business is knowing, understanding and engaging your target audience. When businesses understand their target audience they save time and money. This is because they are focusing their marketing efforts on someone who is most likely going to buy their product, therefore they are getting the most value out of their budget.

In telecommunications, where SMS, VMS and social media platforms have taken hold of the way we communicate, it seems that some businesses have lost their personal touch. For those with a customer-centric or client focus, a lack of customer service can be highly detrimental.


It goes without saying then, that the most successful businesses are the ones who utilize new communication tools to their advantage, but never forget that the people they serve are just as important as the technology supplied. RD Direct
is one such company: a telecommunications business that knows how to communicate.

How good are you at customer profiling?

America is such an awesome place for so many reasons. People are passionate no matter where you go whether it is down to the local Walmart store, on the slopes of Vail or in the Streets of New York. Often people the world over put Americans in an unfair box; loud, abnoxious, overly-opinionated, political and entrepreneurial. Other than the latter, I tend to disagree. It doesn't help that there are so many thousands of websites out there trying to "brand" Americans as such.

Who else finds it hard to fathom that only 15 years ago, real estate agents actually believed in customer service.

How times have changed! Speaking to a real estate agent at Lemon Baxter today, I was appaulled at how little they care about customer service and their "I don't give a F***" attitudes.

Small business wins again.

If a week is anything to go by, then I had better get a move on. Dragging my tail, procrastination and falling asleep on the job, just won't cut the mustard - as they say.

A new way of looking at things has emerged, and batteries are well and truly charged to maximum capacity. What was the change?

In a rush – too much work to do!

Every small businesses have customers and one thing we all know, is that if we don’t provide the service they expect, they will go elsewhere.
