Great Team Building Creates Competitive Advantage

I am asked constantly what it takes to create competitive advantage, and not just from clients. Just about everyone I come into contact with is looking for the elusive answer. “How can I set myself apart from my competitors? How can I take business away from them?” The answer is easy: competitive advantage is created by people. Capable people put into strong teams. The internal behaviors of your organization are how companies set themselves apart from the competition. The attitudes, the level of commitment and motivation, and the resulting culture are what create competitive advantage.

I sometimes get blank stares when I give inquirers that answer. It’s not the answer people expect, and often not the answer they want. The “people” answer involves culture, and rah-rah, and touchy-feely, and that makes many managers and business owners uncomfortable. They would rather hear that the answer is buying into new technology, or re-arranging their office or store, or changing vendors. But consider that your competitors all have the same access to technology, the same access to vendors, and the same access to facilities as you do. The only difference-maker is your people, and the team culture, and how well that culture is able to innovate and think creatively. It’s how deeply the teams are committed to push the product envelope, the quality envelope, and the customer-service envelope. It’s how well your teams are positioned to connect with the customers and the markets you compete in.

Great teams create products and services that connect to customers at an emotional level. They create products and services that exceed the expectations of the customers. Great teams will take a customer transaction and turn it into a pleasing buying experience. A customer experience that is positive in every aspect is how the organization develops a relationship with the customer, a relationship based on credibility and trust. That relationship results in a loyal customer, one that recommends your products and services to friends and family. The organization then sees customer growth, revenue growth, and long-term success.

The notion that team cultures provide competitive advantage is not new by any means. Many organizations have created exceptional success this way, such as Johnson & Johnson, Toyota, Disney, Google, McDonald’s, and General Electric. These companies have achieved success by creating teams that performed at levels far beyond what is typical. This is also how small companies outgrow their competitors and become world class market leading companies. Every large Fortune 500 organization started out a small business, and created great teams that were committed to the vision and focused on creating excellence.

Banking – A Productivity Gold Mine By Dr Uwe H Kaufmann Platinum Quality Author

??

When I joined General Electric Capital fifteen years ago, I asked them why they would hire an engineer with no banking knowledge. The answer was quite surprising: “We have enough people who understand banking. Unfortunately, we do not have those with a process mindset.”

Assuming, the world of banking must have changed since then might be a mistake. Here is a snapshot of just some months of recent banking experience.

Case 1: How to Avoid Killing Trees on Sumatra?
Bank A did never impress me with their service. Therefore, I stopped using their credit card one and a half years ago. For some reasons, there was still a balance on my credit card account. Unfortunately, this amount is negative, i.e. my credit card shows a small amount of savings. For eighteen months, I keep receiving monthly statements showing this negative amount. They include form and envelope with payment instructions. I am tempted to send them a negative cheque trying to stop this. I guess this won’t work. In the mean time, we have wasted a considerable amount of wood in Indonesia – for nothing. Is this necessary?

Case 2: How to Confirm the Confirmation?
We know banks like papers – and so does Bank B. You can send thousands of dollars to any address in the world via online-banking, but for updating the mailing address you need paper. Since we know this seems to be a critical step for any bank, we play Good Citizen and march into a branch – my wife and I. The nice lady at the counter copies our IC, takes note of the new address and we leave. We assume we are done – quite happy with our achievement – until we receive a letter from Bank B asking us to confirm that we have changed our address. I guess my face and my IC are not enough. We are considering getting the president to sign. This should do. Or not?

Case 3: How Premier is a Premier Customer?
Having a customer relationship manager is good. Being a premier customer to the bank seems to be even better – unless you want something from them. I placed a request for online banking access for my son at Bank C before Chinese New Year. Assuming many of the staff went home for two weeks we gave them until mid March. Nothing. Then, I walked into a branch to place another request. The staff at the counter promised to take care of it. Nothing again. On 05 April, I dropped a mail to my Premier customer relationship manager who replied “I will personally see what can be done on this tomorrow for you.” Guess what – nothing so far. Why don’t they tell me if this is something they cannot solve?

The role of script is a matter of great importance to business processes of any kind. To communicate with the prospective customers from a call center is so far the best way to generate better business leads for an organization. Therefore, an importance to the telemarketing agents should be clearly focused in what manner does they follow the conversation process to impress customers.

There are certain tips that will help you to prepare a telemarketing script effective and user-friendly. Here they are:

a) Make it friendly, but easily conversational and professional. Try to maintain a script in a spoken English format. The conversation between both sides will start with a casual process and every query or information shared has to be in a simple language. Write your first draft quickly and ensure that it is simple and easy to read. Avoid long paragraphs and eliminate irrelevant information. Write short structured sentences with a clear meaning.

b) Always make sure that your greeting is easy and easy to pronounce. In addition, ensure that your customer care agents know how to pronounce each and every part of your answer phrase in a clear tone. Therefore, maintaining a brief key-phrase is strongly recommended and callers are requested not to repeat consonant sounds. Doing such can create an awkward situation and the customer can ignore your call instantly.

c) If it is an outbound process, it is essential for the call center agent to give a brief introduction of the tele-marketer’s complete name, company name, and reason for the call. A customer calling agent guides the customer to listen to the prospect of dealing in the services, they offer. Explain the facts involved in the buying patterns, requirements, etc.

Mobile Working: The Tools You Need

Posted on by

Mobile working requires very few tools to establish a virtual office on-the-go. Most mobile workers can operate effectively with a laptop computer, broadband Internet connection and a smartphone or Voice over Internet protocol (VOIP). Some mobile workers may require a portable scanner and portable printer. The devices required depend upon the complexity of the job that the mobile worker may perform.

With the introduction of cloud computing and the development of mobile applications, some mobile sales people may only need a smartphone to complete most of their work on location. Others may utilize a Netbook or laptop to complete their work. Technology has improved the way people communicate and interact within the workforce.

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing technology allows applications to be hosted on a server. Users may access the applications with a login and a user ID. These applications may be accessed from any location with a compatible web browser and Internet connection. Mobile workers may access applications such as: Project Management software, Project Planning Management (PPM) software, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, calendar tools, budgeting tools and other tools that help mobile workers maintain contact with their team members and clients.

These applications are affordable, scalable and do not require an initial investment in server equipment or IT maintenance. The company simply pays per user or by the license. Customers enjoy access and improve productivity and efficiency while traveling for business.

Netbooks, Scanners and Portable Printers

Because of cloud computing, mobile workers need computers with significant processing speeds and adequate memory. However, the technology requirements are less sophisticated because no physical applications will be downloaded to the computer. All applications will remain in the cloud. For this reason, mobile workers may secure a lightweight Netbook for traveling. All documents may be stored on an offsite server or on a removable hard drive. This significantly reduces the weight of the traveler and the number of devices required.

Portable scanners are available for business travelers that may need them. These items weigh under a pound and are usually less than a foot in length. The devices are lightweight and robust. The item will easily fit into a laptop bag or luggage. The photo quality is fairly good, and the cost is affordable. This is helpful for scanning documents and faxing items through an online fax service.

Portable printers are also available. They may be slightly larger than the scanner device and heavier. Many mobile workers may use business office services to print. However, other mobile workers require the convenience of the device on hand at all times.

Smart Phones

iPhone and BlackBerry are the two smartphones geared towards business customers. BlackBerry offers more business oriented applications than iPhone. iPhone initially focused on entertainment and social networking before introducing business applications to the phone. As social networking became noticed as a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool, iPhone recognized the need to address this need. The company is now expanding its store to include more business oriented applications.
