Strategic Marketing & BD Tip 5/18/2026
(Cursor down to read all 5 business topics)
One of the more important fundamentals in strategic planning for a business is getting a concrete structure you want your company to look like in the future. A structure should always be what you aspire your company to look like, not what it is at the present or short-term. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Management & Leadership Tip 5/19/2026
Too often, owners overlook a company culture. There is a tendency to view it separately from the production of generating revenues. While that is half true, the mistake occurs when they don’t understand that culture is key to both sales and profits. With a positive culture, employees get on the same page for goals, methods, and successful results. That not only is part of production, but it’s also a primary fundamental of it. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Recruiting and Hiring Tip 5/13/2026
If there were only one trait or attribute to choose from the long list of them when recruiting for a new employee, it would likely be coachability. Being coachable is an attitude, and with it, it brings many other positive attitudes. Someone with all the talent and skills in the world will be a management train wreck if they are not coachable. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Tip 5/14/2026
CRM can mean something different in numerous markets and business models. In the case of online businesses, research shows that exceptional companies always create an easy pathway for a customer to contact the company via a human being. Unfortunately, too many high-tech companies do just the opposite. They intentionally make it difficult for that to happen. But that’s also why those companies have the lowest loyalty ratings from customers. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Sales & Selling Tip 5/15/2026
One of the most valuable but underused methods of selling is with questions, but not the salesperson asking questions. It is driving questions by the buyers/customers. Getting customers to ask questions early in the process is the best way to drive them to sell themselves into a close. They feel that they are buying, not just being sold. That makes for a much better satisfaction level and so a good way to build referrals. ©Viscon Services
