Mauro Libi Crestani: Business Initiative is about setting goals


By Mauro Libi Crestani. Business initiative is about setting goals and it is the steps that you take to achieve those goals. The most important goal is having satisfied customers. No - not just satisfied customers, loyal fans, raving fans for customers.

A long time ago I read a story about a young man. We will call him Carl. Carl started a company and it was very successful. His customers loved him and the loved his product. They could never dream of buying this product anywhere else. Some investors saw the how productive and profitable Carl was and they invested in him to build many more companies, big companies. Carl made the same wonderful product that he always made. For some reason, it just did not sell. Not only that, his original store was not doing as well as it once had done. His loyal customers proved to be not so loyal and they started to look for where they got the best price. Carl’s company was failing and he had no idea why.(Mauro Libi)

If Carl had spoken to his original customers he would have seen how loyal they were to him. They loved him and they loved the personal service that they received. They felt as though they could never go wrong. They knew that Carl would always be there to offer their business support for his product. When Carl opened the other stores. He did not pay attention to that personal service. It all became about the sale. The customer was secondary. Once that personal feeling was gone, so was the loyalty. Carl became about the dollar and so did his customers.  It was no longer about the loyalty. It was all about cost and only cost. The Carl brand no longer had any value.

“Every great business is built on friendship.” JC Penney. 

“If people believe they share values with a company, they will stay loyal to the brand.” Howard Schultz

“A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it.” Mahatma Gandhi

 As you see above, all the great business leaders knew the secret. There are so many quotes from Bill Gates to Ross Perot to about anyone that has ever been successful. Customer satisfaction initiative should be a goal of any company – big or small.  Mauro Libi Crestani

Mauro Libi Crestani: Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations

By  Mauro Libi Crestani.  Business hire management teams to figure out new ways to solve customer problems, improve products, create new revenue streams, and reduce costs. This involves creating new ideas for change. Technology, innovation, products and the way of doing business means coming up with new ideas for staying competitive in today’s quick moving market. Every change starts with an idea—a vision of what could happen to create a tangible benefit for an organization. But ideas are not enough. Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations. These make-or-break moments can also be leadership changes, restructurings, culture changes, system implementations, operational excellence programs, workforce programs or new market expansions. This involves time and money. Given all the investment in change and its importance to a company’s future health it is important to take note that…..

Mauro Libi Crestani: Negative attitude can destroy your career and personal life

I once went into a car dealership for a car purchase. I was meet by a salesman who was dressed in a well ironed suit and he had the biggest smile. He introduced himself by name and he asked for my name. He offered me something to drink as we discussed my desires in a car.  Let me assure you, that you came to the right place. He had been with that dealership for years. His customers stayed with him each time they wanted a new car.  I was told that this car dealership was about positive attitude. The salespeople , the finance  department , the service department all had to be positive that their customers were treated with the best service and that all their needs and concerns were listened to and acted on. I felt so positive that this was the place for me.  I have a married friend  who in sales. He is always depressed and always quiet. He is my friend and I once went to him to purchase his product for my company. He was telling me how sales were down, that he was not sure that he w

How does technology help in business communication?

One of the elements which has undoubtedly worked to support our growth, expansion and excellence projects in the last years, has been technology applied to business communication. I still remember when everything was reduced to memos, billboards, advertisements, photos and one or another printed publication in order to communicate inside the company; at the same time absolutely massive Advertising in existing media was in charge to go to the great public which included our customers and prospects.  Today we can say that with the advance of humankind, communication needed is also appearing. And our times make use of digital communication to improve business processes with more efficient and functional ways which allow more interaction, and overall, business productivity. Technology in communication expressed in the use of Internet, and with it, the Web, social networks, e-mails, multimedia resources (videos, infographics, memes, podcast, live broadcast, etc.); joined wi
