2 Thank and update them
By : Navneet Rai
Mohit Aggarwal  |  Supported idea  "Thank and update them"  |  4 years ago
yes we should always thank them for every single referrals they make. But updating them with what happen is better than just saying thank you... If the Clients they have referred is not worth , they may refer someone better than him...
Kushal Das  |  Added idea  "Thank and update them"  |  4 years ago
Once you get referrals from one of your customers/clients, thank them saying how it helped the company and the client whom he/she referred. This can bring in more referrals from them.

Lead generation outsourcing really was not successful for us, because when you do those canned lead generation programs, you get a lot of leads that really don't pertain to your core business. If you do it yourself, like we have, and your...

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace from that day. We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing that we can do is play on the one string that we have and this string is, Attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you....We are in charge of our Attitudes If you have also your  some inspirational thinking, Quotes please share with me..

Free Style Marketing How many times have you been to a business conference that guided the world to sell things for free? Well, if you never heard about one, then you need to know about Nokia World 2007 Conference where Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief talks to the world referring to this. The campaign broke all the traditional rules of selling a service product. As per Chris, the new way to sell today has changed focus from the actual product to the complementary product or supporting product that could enhance the selling of original product. Chris talks about the new selling concept of 0 + 2 = 2 in contrary to the old concept of 1+1 = 2. Now, what the hell does he mean by this Maths..? Consider Company A that sells both - the products and the services on the same products. As per the traditional earning model Company A earned Rs 1 revenue from selling the product and Rs 1 revenue from the services on the product. The modern way of selling sacrifices the revenue on product to earn...

Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) – Does it really boosts the Sales? Gone are the days when customers use to easily lure away by the gimmicks of the marketing persons.  Today the customers are cleverer and demanding than ever before. They cannot be easily caught in the snare of the companies’ ideological gimmicks as they used to be in the past. I would love to share with you a real life and an interesting anecdote which is about a sales promotion program of a well established and renowned cigarette company. A week ago, in the afternoon, I stopped by a Pan Shop near my place, to buy a packet of cigarettes. There was an unusual rush on that Pan shop at that time. As I reached up to the counter, I came to know that some cigarette company’s Sales Promotion was going on there and a team of four Sales persons of that company were promoting their renowned and well established cigarette brand which was probably due to its attractive repacking and they might have added some more features to it so...

How IT cos hurt environment   The machines that handle the world's computing tasks are also some of the planet's biggest  polluters . Data centers, PCs, mobile phones and gaming consoles use electricity that frequently comes from coal-burning power plants or other sources of energy that give off high  carbon  emissions.  The information and communication technology (ICT) industry in the US is on track to quadruple its consumption of electricity between 2009 and 2020, according to a study released today from the Institute for Sustainable and Applied Infodynamics (ISAID) in  Singapore  and Rice University in Houston,  Texas .  Unless electronics can be altered to become significantly more energy-efficient, the related carbon emissions from these products are set to grow as well, says the report. In the US carbon emissions related to tech products will grow from 72.95 megatons of carbon dioxide released in 2009 to 195.06 megatons released in 2020.  About 6 per cent of the world's...
