Would you rather work 10-12 hours at home or 8 at a regular job? -

I have a new job that will let me work from home if it works out. Hours may get long some days, where I will be working on the computer, sometimes long hours into the night. I have to freedom to set my own hours often though, and can do things at my own pace, while being in the comfort of my own home. I will have to figure out what to do about not having a company health plan though. I should make good money after the company gets going in a few months. Would you choose this opportunity or a normal job paying 27k a year? I hope to double that doing this. Thanks!

work at home you make more money and don t have to fight traffic good luck.

12 hours can be rough if its solid. But if you already work an 8 hour day, just think about all the time you spend getting ready for work, commuting to work, taking breaks, and commuting back again. By the time you get up and ready and get back and settled again, I d bet it s at least 10 hours right there.

Work at home, do it

8 at work... less time.. question answered

am studying, so i wil b at colage for 7 hours

Is it a good idea to be your own broker? -

I have been given the task to look into being our own Custom Broker. What are the pros and cons.

Only if you know what you re doing.

Hello,Is this for imports to Canada or for imports into the U.S.?It is a bit of a rule of thumb that doing your own customs clearance in-house would never be less expensive than hiring someone externally.If you are a small company and only need 1 person - then the chances are that you are not paying a lot in customs brokerage fees. What is the main reason for looking into being your own Customs Broker? To save costs, or?

I say yes. But then again my company does stuff for others, so the answer sounds funny, eh?

What can i do to make my staff give great customer service? -

Basically i had a managers meeting the other day and the main thing that was bought up was how every store needs to have better customer service, ive only been an assistant manager for a week and i was wondering if anyone give give me any tips on on making my staff more motivated and also how to just have fantastic customer service, we always try to say hello to every customer but sometimes that doesn t always happen, hope someone can help!also not really interested in why we need to give good customer service because i know why, just need practical things to do! thanks

It always motivates the employees when you give them fun incentives to giving better customer service. It doesn t have to be something that is going to be overly expensive for the company.Example: Maybe have a little bbq or party quarterly/monthly for the people that have good customer service reviews. Or even give away silly prizes like $5 to Starbucks.Little, silly incentives can go a long way for people. It makes it more like a competition for the employee and is more likely to motivate them.

Simple:Staff that seem down to earth always seem to be the best with customers. So not only knowing the products and being able to help customers, but also not being false and robot-like (we can tell they are just doing their job in a robot like-way). It s nice when a staff chats in a normal down to earth way, as he s helping you or walking across the store with you to something etc. This can t be trained - it is only be hiring people that are naturally like this with people; People -skills.

I can t bear it when the staff say hello to me. What I want is for someone to be available to serve me and to have good product knowledge. I get very cross when I see staff standing talking to each other and often overhear them talking about personal matters. It doesn t matter whether it s sales assistants or shelf stockers, it s inappropriate.

Tie their raises into customer satisfaction. Saying hello won t do it. Making sure there are enough properly trained people will. Have comment cards printed up and give bonuses or paid days off when employees are praised.

Saying hello to customers is not customer service, it s just being polite - it s also really irritating.Customer service is about meeting the needs of the customers, so make sure that staff are easily recognizable and always around to answer questions or queries - there s nothing worse than having to wander round a store looking for an assistant.Make sure that all your staff know the layout of the store and what products you sell, so that they can always answer questions. If a customer wants to know where a certain item is, get the staff member to take them to it rather than just pointing in the vague general direction. If a customer wants a product but can t find it in your store they will go and buy it elsewhere.Tell your staff that if a customer asks a question that they can t answer, then the reply should be I m sorry, I don t know the answer, but I shall go and find someone who does . Never say sorry I don t know and leave it at that - that isn t an answer. Always deal with it.If a customer has a problem or complaint, make sure that they are passed to someone who can and will deal with it - they should not have to relate the same story over and over to a string of different people who keep passing them on to someone else.Make sure that checkouts are well-manned at busy periods.Never allow your staff to chit-chat to each other whilst on the checkout: the customer is entitled to have the full attention of the staff member they are dealing with, and really isn t interested in where their boyfriend took them last night!It s all just common sense and making a customer feel valued.

What is PS? -

post script. -a.j.p.s.- it s what you write after you close a letter if you forgot to include something you wanted the reader to know.

It could mean a number of different things depending upon its usage.It could mean Public School, where you would have learned how to ask a proper question.

Play Station.

Recommended books for someone who wants to open a buisness? -

What r the bes books for someone who wants to open a buisness? Thanks

Depends on the type of business. Is it going to be internet based?

It really depends on what type of business you would like to open. You may want to start with something like Starting a Business for Dummies. If you are going to start a business (any business) I would also read Think and Grow Rich, The Great Formula, The Attractor Factor, and lots of sales and marketing books.

Well depends on the type of business, but Rich Dad Poor Dad is good in terms of theory / interesting business-related perspectives.
