11 Tips for Your Manager or Supervisor

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00pm and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.

2. If it’s really a “rush job”, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it’s going. That helps. Or even better, hover behind me, advising me at every keystroke.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you’re going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

4. Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I’m not here for the money anyway.

5. If you give me more than one job to do, don’t tell me which is the priority. I like being a psychic.

6. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.

7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.

8. If you don’t like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be whipped.

9. If you have special instructions for a job, don’t write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful information.

10. Never introduce me to the people you’re with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.

11. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it’s nice to know someone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to pay so much taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.

The Office - Michael Scott aka Ladies Man

Video: “…to run an office you need men and women. You know why? Because you need to have that crazy sexual tension to keep things interesting.”

Michael Scott and the women of Dunder-Mifflin Scranton.

Emotionally Magnificent: A Tribute to The Office

Video: This contains 10-20 clips from every single episode of seasons 2 and 3, from “The Dundies” all the way to “The Job,” in the exact order they appeared in the episode. It’s a celebration of every great moment in The Office, because it’s the best damn show on television. And because Michael Scott’s favourite moment in Dunder-Mifflin history is all of them.

Beat Any Crisis, Even a Recession

It’s a fact of business: You can’t organize, meet, invest, complain, or fire your way out of a crisis…

…you must PROMOTE your way out of a crisis.

Simply put, new customers and revenue is the fuel of any successful business. No amount of talent, hardware, office space, charts, graphs, consultants, training, layoffs, or team building events will float your boat during dire straits.

Although there are many tools and people that must come together to make a business RUN, it takes customers to keep it ALIVE.

It’s amazing what an infusion of cash or new customers can do to an organization where coaches, restructuring, and meetings usually fail.

When the road gets bumpy, your employees seem less motivated, your management team is desperate and all around you there is talk of crisis, bubbles, and crashes take that moment to do something most companies don’t…

FOCUS ON YOUR CUSTOMERS AND LEADS.

That’s right, focus on getting more business.

It’s easy to get distracted in tough times and play the blame game or spend money on consultants or just make plain old bad decision based on desperation.

But make no mistake, the best medicine for challenges like this is more business, not more management.

Secret Sales Tactic: The “Be-Back”

This tactic will give you a serious edge over your competition and has been used by auto and furniture retailers and the like for decades! Why? Because it works.

It’s called “The Be-Back” Tactic.

Here’s how it works…

Let’s say you have a prospect who is  shopping around. You have a feeling that no matter how good your pitch or product is this prospect will try to shop around with your competitors first.

The challenge is this: Even if you are still the best choice out of all your competitors the prospect might forget about you or remember some other competitor more fondly.

So, the key to making sure you can convert this prospect into a client is getting them to “BE BACK” after they are done fielding offers.

Here’s how it’s done…

Next time you have a lead who wants to shop around first make them this offer: “I respect  your choice to shop around for other offers. What I’d like to do is help you decide on a company, even if it not ours. Here’s what I am willing to do for, go ahead and talk to the competition and then call me back to give me a chance to compete with their offer. I’ll give you a $500 gas voucher (or whatever your promotion is offering) just for giving me another chance after you’re done your research.”

This gives you 3 major advantages…

1. You will be the last word. No matter how good another offer is the prospect will always give you a chance at the last word.

2. Prospect remembers you as the company willing to do anything for their business.

3. You get intel on your competitors offers and are uniquely positioned to present a better option.

3 Creative Ways to Boost Business

Hello again Friend, it’s John Stockhausen Sr. from MDC Group Inc and GetawayIncentives.com.

I want to cover some creative ways to use incentive programs to boost business.

Before we begin, it’s important that you understand that there are many uses for incentives like travel certificates and gas vouchers beyond just promotions to customers.

Let’s look at some other creative ways to use incentives.

1. Get More Referrals.

Have you ever considered reaching out to your clients and offering them a vacation if they refer new business to you?

It’s a fact, nothing prepares you for a stunning first impression more than a referral. It’s human nature to trust someone vouching for you more than anything you say about yourself.

So why not offer an incentive to clients who tell their peers about your business?

2. Alternative To Employee Fringe Benefits.

Travel incentives have a much higher perceived value than merchandise or cash. And they are more affordable for your business to offer.

Try using incentives as retention bonuses or safety awards.

3. Motivate Your Affiliates And Joint Venture Partners.

Do you have an affiliate program or sales force?

Incentives are the perfect way to motivate your downline, affiliates, or sales force to generate more leads or sales.
