We all hear anecdotal evidence for the fact that this or that CRM project is a roaring success or a raging failure. But what constitutes success is very subjective.

More importantly what can we learn for our own work? Using mainly US sources of data, here are some of the answers. When is a project not enough? Perhaps a bit of jargon first of all - "CRM project" means so many things but I will use this to refer to the technology project - putting in new applications to help people do their work. "Customer programme" is a term I will use for a wider...

In the 1990s Kaplan and Norton developed a new approach to strategic management based upon a multi-dimensional view of the organization.

Today, efficient internal business processes, good customer relations, and long-term strategic investments in technologies and employees are what make companies successful. The balanced scorecard proposes that companies be viewed and measured in each of four major dimensions1: · The traditional financial dimension · The customer dimension · The business process...

The "Domino Effect": a compounding repercussion or chain-reaction, which originates from what many consider an innocuous event. Maybe the best way to illustrate this is by example. Here's how the "Domino Effect" can adversely impact a business. Granted, this example may seem a bit of a stretch, but it's intended to illustrate how costly dirty data could actually become. Agreeing with the dollar amounts is insignificant. Understanding the devastating impact, which dirty data has on your organization, is. THE PLAN A large national financial institution, using its proprietary database of 4,500,000 high value domestic retail customers sent out, via US mail, a $250,000 pre-qualified 3.5% home-equity line...

Small business that have just started or are planning to take it to the next level, often face a financial crunch. In such a spot, their best saviors are business loans without personal guarantee.

During the initial interview process, most candidates will be reluctant to admit that they may have bad credit. Despite the fact that all potential tenants may seem pleasant, as a businessperson, your aim is to run a profitable property investment business.

Studies show that 25% of loss in the retail business comes from shoplifting, but a whopping 38% of loss comes from employee theft. If your business has workers like that, who needs to worry about shoplifters? Too many small business owners and even large business managers are too trusting of their employees and therefore don't take some common sense steps toward deterring employee theft. Here are some proven ways to keep employees from stealing from you. These suggestions come from professional theft-prevention consultants: 1. Tell applicants that they will be subject to drug testing. Even if you don't test, the suggestion of drug testing is enough to weed out many unsavory characters. 2. Complete...

A couple of decades ago, employment screening companies were virtually nonexistent. Searching through the telephone directory (as we had no search engines to talk of then), you would almost be certain not to find a category for employment screening companies. But all that has changed in a span of a few years. Today, we have employment screening companies of all sorts and virtually every major city has at least one; with quite a good number of them having moved their operations online - thence defying geographical limitations. The typical telephone directory today will tend to have a category for the said companies; much as it is likely to have a category for car hire companies. Incidentally, when we...

Considering all that you spend marketing your products or services, do you know what it costs to get a prospect to walk through your door or pick up the phone to call your business? You should. You should also do everything in your power to maximize your chances of success when they do. If you don't, add up everything you spend on your marketing and advertising functions in a year and divide it by the number of people who walk in your door or call with product or service inquiries. It's simple, but many business leaders don't do the math. It's been my experience that the costs of each of those blown opportunities add up quickly and dwarf by comparison any investments in pre employment tests...
