Here is a quick Blurb from Archie Bunker to his wife Edith
” The reason you don’t understand me is because I’m talking to you in English and you are listening to me in dingbat”

" Stop Listening to your Clients in Ding-Bat

I’m Speaking English and You Are Listening in Ding-Bat

Listen Deeper to your Clients “REAL NEEDS”
Check out the 5 levels of listening and make it a goal to find out what your clients “real” needs are.
Always approach your clients with Empathy.
Ask them question about their particular needs, listen deeply and then put yourself in their shoes buy making a rock solid recommendation based on your expert knowledge.

Client-Communications 101 - The 5 Steps to Deeper Understanding

 Don’t make the mistake of just listening to what your clients tell you  they need on the surface.  Ask them questions that help you have a deeper understanding of their real needs so you can come through for them by suggesting the very best solutions based on their particular ” individual” needs. 

Don’t just sell them what they tell you they want.  It’s a huge mistake to take just the superficial “Sympathy” approach.
i.e. “I need the very lowest price possible on 500 customized coffee cups”

Stop Listening in Ding-Bat II - Better Client Communication

What you have to do is ask questions that help them reveal their true needs.
If a client want to order Logo Coffee cups, there has to be a reason for needing them beyond just ordering custom coffee cups.
Be Smart – Ask tons of great questions
Listen Deeper for what needs they are really trying to fill.
And then help them by taking the better
“Empathy” Approach

If a client calls you to order your product/solutions
i.e. I’m calling to order some customized coffee cups.
What do they want to buy?
Coffee Cups – NO
People don’t buy products – people buy what the products and solutions can do to help them “personally.

In closing – Stop Listening in Ding-Bat and Start listening to your Clients real needs and you are sure to have Life Long Clients and Fans that will re-order and refer people to you because they know that you have their very best interests in mind.

Food gifts are commonly associated with the holiday season, beginning around Thanksgiving when we gather together to enjoy wonderful feasts and continuing through the New Year when we make the annual resolution not to spoil ourselves any longer.

Why are food gifts natural choices during this season? First, we allow ourselves to enjoy special treats we normally do not receive any other time of year. It is almost as if we have permission to indulge ourselves because it is a gift. Second, food is fun. In the spirit of spreading good cheer to others, a tower of treats or a canister of goodies can be shared with others in an office or at home. This allows recipients to not only feel great about receiving the gift but equally as good about sharing and giving.

If we feel so good about receiving, eating and sharing food during this traditionally short period of time, why isn’t it thought of all year-round? Why do we only think of sending food during this “grace period” when it is okay to eat something out of the ordinary because it is a gift? Is it the out-of-sight, out-of-mind theory?

Food gifts are a delight—no matter when they are received. They are special treats and can be shared with others, making the gifts become experiences rather than just products. For instance, sending a tin of cookies or a box of chocolates at a time other than the holiday season makes your thoughtfulness and appreciation stand out even more. Everyone loves to receive unexpected gifts. And, just like at holiday time, a food gift gives us permission to enjoy without guilt.

Challenge: When the holiday season rolled around last year, Michael Caputo, owner of Athol, Massachusetts-based distributor Caputo Business Services wanted a way to thank his top clients and wish them a merry Christmas. “We wanted our promotion to stand out among the year-end greetings our clients receive,” Caputo says. “It had to be [...]]]>

Challenge: When the holiday season rolled around last year, Michael Caputo, owner of Athol, Massachusetts-based distributor Caputo Business Services wanted a way to thank his top clients and wish them a merry Christmas. “We wanted our promotion to stand out among the year-end greetings our clients receive,” Caputo says. “It had to be something that was unusual but classy, simple and unique, while also having staying power and substance. I wanted to feel a sense of pride in presenting the item.”

Solution: Caputo tapped Tulsa, Oklahoma-based supplier SELCO to design 30 pocket watches that featured the company’s black-and-white logo on the watch cover and website on the watch face.

The pocket watches weren’t simply wrapped up and mailed out—the sales team made appointments and Caputo personally presented the watches on behalf of his company. “I made sure to tell the recipients that the watches were custom made by SELCO and that their watch was one of only 30. They were made to feel part of an exclusive group,” says Caputo.

Result: “The clients were predominately impressed with the exception of one client who had no idea what to do with a pocket watch,” Caputo says. “I carry mine daily and love it, and about half of my clients carry their watches daily. I’m not sure a wristwatch would have been as well-received because many clients wear brand-name watches.”

National Breast Cancer Awareness month was organized by a multitude of health focused charities to help raise money and bring more attention to Breast Cancer research. They also fervently advocate getting checked (both medically and utilizing self-check) as this is an elective procedure done usually at the request of the patient.  Breast cancer is the #2 killer of women in America (#1 being heart disease). The usage of pink to symbolize the fight against breast cancer started in 1991 when the Susan G. Komen Foundation handed out pink looped ribbons to breast cancer survivors and family of the afflicted at Race for a Cure. Since then, pink has been the official color of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Fun Fact: On Oct. 7, 2008, the White House was flooded in pink lights to raise awareness.

Show your clients and employees that your company is active in the fight against breast cancer by providing them with custom imprinted breast cancer awareness themed items. Check out our assortment of customizable awareness bracelets to find the perfect one to raise awareness within your community. Browse some of our items available in pink to show your support for this vital cause.
