Humble Pie…..Go back for a second slice!

 

Yesterday I spoke of the NFL as a business and how they need to become more customer friendly and aware.  I wanted to continue on this subject a bit because I don’t think the league is solely responsible for customer service.  Of course the players are also.  Example The player from Titans, I won’t mention his name…..C.J., was holding out for the season to work the system and gain a few bucks in the meantime.  I don’t have a problem with this what so ever.  What I have a problem with is the fact that he tells his fans to S.T.F.U. on twitter because there begging him to get his butt to practice.  S.T.F.U?? Seriously?  Where I work telling a customer to STFU will get you fired.  Not the NFL though.  I understand the NFL has a huge entertainment factor.  So, players/personalities are welcome like this to keep their name out there.  No press is bad press right?  I know everyone likes there to be a villain, but this guy is off his meds if you ask me.  It’s ok to be a high personality, but be humble about it.  Chris thinks that all the fans care about is there fantasy league points.  So what if that’s true.  I bet at least 60% of the fans in the NFL take part in a fantasy league.  I really think the fantasy leagues have boosted interest in the NFL.  I find myself watching a lot more games due to the fact I have a player on that team.  Look at all the women watching football on Sunday now that they know they can outsmart their husband at his favorite sport.  In summary, It’s ok to have a little flare, swagger, attitude, etc… But at the core always stay humble.  Being humble is a long term investment.  Getting Rich and Good looking will get you broke and hated.  So, every time you see your business slipping look at your staffs attitude.  Are they humble or are they keeping their customers waiting on a convenient time for them to go to work……

The Cheap Seats; Absolutely Not!!

 

Lovin this time of year.  It’s football season.  The time of year I dawn all my Chiefs gear, hit up the stadium with friends, and if the chance of hell freezing over my Chiefs win.  If you think about it, it’s created its own culture.  People actually plan and shift their lifestyle to the season of there favorite team.  I can’t count how many times I haven’t made plans due to the fact that my teams playing that day.

On that note, just as 90% of the things that we enjoy doing, it’s a business.  Yes we cheer, eat, drink, etc., but at the core of all this is a business.  Looking at the NFL as a business, personally I think they could use some help in the customer service department.  Here’s a short story for ya.  My father has season tickets.  So, I usually use his tickets.  Last year I looked online at how much season tickets would have been for myself.  They were a little pricey. So, I passed on the tickets.  I had pretty good luck at scoring cheap, good, seats on eBay.  Well, about two weeks after looking into the tickets I get a phone call from a sales  rep from the KC Chiefs to pitch me a season ticket package.  Long story short I tried to negotiate with the guy and to no avail.  So I went to eBay and bought really good seats below ticket value.  This was due to the Chiefs having another “stellar” year.  I get to the game and I bet there was no less, just in my section, 120 empty seats.  Key word. EMPTY!!  Would it not have been more intelligent for that so called Salesman on the phone to sell those tickets to me cheaper.. Imagine on how much concessions, souvenirs, parking, etc they missed out on because they wanted to make $20 more per ticket than people were willing to pay. 

I see this as a classic case of losing focus on the big picture.  You treat that customer good, give them a great service, and ask for a fair price; they’ll hand you their wallet.  Next time you’re making that sales pitch look at the big picture.  There’s a lot of times Ill lose money on a car deal knowing they’ll be coming into our service drive to spend there hard earned money. It’s kind of like getting a shot.  Stick it in nice and easy and the person doesn’t feel it.  A customer coming in once a month to our business and spending a little money doesn’t affect them as badly as dropping it all down at one time.

Drink of the evening

Black and Tan

 

This is a simple one.  My friend from London I met while in Jamaica tell me this is an old mans drink… So what!! I lovem

 

Three things your gonna need.  Make that four.  Guinness, Bass, Spoon, and a glass.

 

Simply fill the glass ¾ full with Bass beer.  Poor it to the side of the glass to create as little as “head” as possible.

Next Poor Guinness over a bent spoon slowly on top of the bass.  This should create a black on the top of the beer and tan on the bottom.  It takes a few tries, but you’ll get it eventually.  Good Luck!!

 

Possible video footage will be shot later to show you the art of this J

Here’s the Workout Enjoy

Gym Time

 

Wanted to share a workout I developed using my Men’s Health Total Fitness Guide.  Not going to get you huge, but will definitely tone you up… You’ll get some weird looks in the gym on some of these workouts, but honestly I’ve had a few people intrigued by it and start it themselves.  I’m a runner, but just don’t want that “dollar a day” feeds me look.  Enjoy and please share any tips you may have with a submittal or in the comments…

“Works a Verb Not a Noun”

When you pull into the parking lot of your workplace are you at work?  If you answer yes to this question then it's time to re-evaluate what you think of as work.  Is work a place?  Think about it...if work is a place then merely showing up becomes your entire job description.  Unless you get paid to sit around and stare out the window this is an inaccurate description of what you do for a living.  Isn't it?  If you indeed get paid to just sit what is the significance of sitting "at work"?  Couldn't you sit a home and accomplish the exact same task?  I am not trying to be sarcastic but maybe it's time for a reality check.  Unless the laws of gravity are so screwed up at your place of employment that it actually requires somebody to sit on a chair to hold it into place then the act of showing up at work is not your job!  When we decided that work was a noun ( A person, Place, or thing) American productivity dipped dramatically.  If we are honest with ourselves and understand that the vast majority of us view work as a place, then we are on the road to recovery.  We must all understand that we accept a paycheck from our employer to fulfill a certain set of required duties.  It doesn't matter if you are flipping burgers or performing brain surgery, you get paid to DO SOMETHING!  If you really want to get ahead in today's marketplace maybe you should start to understand that work is not a noun, work is a verb.  Work is something we do not someplace we go.  The sooner we all wake up and realize this the quicker we become "upwardly mobile".  Isn't that also a verb?

Ad. Vise

Why pay When it’s Free

 

At a recent meeting I attended, at our yearly national, gathering we discussed a number of statistics.  One that continues to stick in my head is the fact that 60% of our customers that walk through our door have viewed us online before stepping foot into our business.  60%!!! That’s huge.  So where are you going to spend your money in advertising.  Honestly when I go online I hate TEXT.  It’s boring; it doesn’t catch my eye, and its way “old-school”.  So as far as the newspaper goes, im sorry to say to my publisher friends, its out-dated.  Tv commercials are great, but if your like me you TiVo your shows and start watching them 15 minutes in so that you can breeze through the commercials.

I’m a big fan of both types of advertising, but times have changed.  If 60% of your business is coming from online traffic, it only makes “cents” to put 70% of your advertising efforts here.  Now that doesn’t mean 70% of your advertising money, but efforts.  I say this because a lot of online advertising is free.  Via blogs, facebook, twitter, etc.  It doesn’t cost a thing but time.  Next time you sit down to develop your advertising strategy/budget, look online.  Internet……The final frontier
