Get smart with our money
by sugigs on Sep.12, 2008, under Personal
How can I be smart with my money? Well there is an obvious answer….Budget it of course. But what if this is your first time to have the privilege of financial Independence? This is NOT your first time to be financially independent, well maybe you just need to refinance a few debts and adjust your living habits. Let’s take a look at each of these one at a time. I CAN FINALLY BUY WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT! This is a horrible mind frame to be in, so if you think this on a daily basis now may be a good time to try and adjust your frame of mind. A more financially savvy way of thinking would be “I HAVE THE ABILITY TO PURCHASE ANYTHING I WANT, I JUST HAVE TO PLAN FOR IT!” A new home, a new car, a bigger and more comfortable bed, nicer kitchen appliances, more SPACE, nicer clothes for my new job…etc. we prioritize two lists. The first list is what we NEED: 1. bigger living space, 2. bigger, better bed 3. new or newer cars. See what was done there? We can’t get a bigger bed until we have a bigger place to keep that bed. So we prioritized a bigger living space as #1, then the bed, and then we decided we don’t have to necessarily have BRAND NEW cars, we could do with used. The good thing about a used car is that the value doesn’t drop immediately once you drive it off the lot! It’s alway good to have a “go-to” guy for advice. Because no one could describe clearly what’s the meaning of “new” and “enough”. Only our self controlling which could now what that’s real mean.. Be wisely to our money, because we don’t know when we need to spend our unpredicted and emergency.

For a man, a woman is alike a computer
by anson on Sep.10, 2008, under Joke
From a research that had been done by scientist, Man think that women are alike with a computer. These are 5 biggest reason which they found from that conclusion:

Like a woman, computer also has an internal logic that can’t be understood by anyone except the creator itself.
-
Standard language which is used by a computer will never be understood by its user. The same with the language which is used by a woman
-
Notification message on a computer “Bad command or File Name” is the same with notification message from a woman which means “If you do not know why I am angry to you, then I will not tell you either”.
-
The smallest mistake that had been done, will always be saved for a long time inside the computer’s memory. It is the same with a woman’s memory
-
If the user has had a commitment with a computer then some cost will be spent to buy accessories to beautify his computer.

Give present, but get advantage from selling the present
by anson on Sep.08, 2008, under Business, Marketing
Some marketer wants to improve their selling with giving a present to the customer. But they are also afraid they will get loss. That thing can happen because they do not know the effective way. Giving a present without an effective way can give your business a big loss.
There is a way that you can give a present effectively. Find a present that looks expensive. If it is possible, look for a present that exclusive and others do not have it. Then give a rule or sales program for customer who wants to get that present. For example, for some amount of buying, buyers can buy the present “cheaper” (That price is cheaper than normal price, but still more expensive than bought price).

Customer is the King for the business entities
by anson on Sep.06, 2008, under Business, Marketing
Is it true that customer is the king? Customer is the heart of each business. From them, all business activities get their fresh blood flow which is currently called “positive cash flow” which gives energy for business activity entities.
Because of that, it is common if most activities and resources from the business entities are focused on “saving” their customer. Of course it is used for the business to grow.
Having said about “saving” the customer, it means that we talk how to satisfy them and save them, or even lift the level of satisfaction up. All businessmen who really understand that their customers are also their assets will do this. If the level of satisfaction reach at certain point, they want to get more and more. To reach that point, it is fair if the business entities have consequence to spend some money to satisfy their customers.
Referring to the first argument, that cost must be spent to keep our customers from business entities.
But the question is does the cost equal with what the companies get. After analyzing this question much further, the cost which already spent to keep the customers with the way to satisfy them can be higher than the contribution of the customers themselves.
From that way of thinking, It raises a thought to separate the customers into some categories. With separating the customers, the business entities can optimize their cost to certain categories of customers which give significant contribution to the company.
These are the categories:
-
Vulnerable customers
These customers have big contribution to the company, but these customers only get bad service from the company. Customers in this category, potentially can be disappointed and move to another product. If this thing happens, it means a big lost to the company.
-
Lost Causes
Customers that give low contribution to the company and those customer only get average service. It is not fair if the company gives best service to this type if the company expect more contribution from this type of customer.
-
Free Riders
This type of customer only gives low contribution, but because of one and another thing, they get “more” from the company. Keeping this type of company will give more loss to the company and prevent the company to give better service to others.
-
King for the company
This type of customer gives high contribution to the company and they get best service from the company. The plane’s passenger of executive class is one example of this type of customer. This type of customer is not much, but gives significant contribution to the company.
If the company already have a plan to allocate their cost and have a program to satisfy and keep their customer by treating them as king, be sure that the company only treats the truly king as a king.
