"We at l'image were satisfied
with our website, but decided that it was time to put a new site
up, just to freshen things up. We searched through a lot of people
/ companies
that write new websites and had settled on a couple of them for serious
consideration. When I received an e-mail from Vision of Success extolling
their website creation skills, I checked into them.
I spoke with
and exchanged e-mails with Lori and called a client who's website
she and
Andrew recently created. Vision of Success had something that most
of these website creation people did not have and that was the
ability to see beyond the graphics and layout of the site and go
to the core
reason of having a website .... attracting new clients.
Lori and
Andrew were very easy to work with and created a fantastic new
website for
us that will last a long time. In addition, they educated us as
to the reasons behind why they did a lot of things. We recommend
their
website creation service highly."

Employee
Appearance – Representing Your Company
By Lori Osterberg
As
a business owner, you are representing your company at all
times. So are your employees! And employees often send the
message louder and clearer of who and what your company stands
for because they are dealing with your clients more than you
are.
As
I was waiting for a plane last week, I witnessed an employee
loading  packages
on to a plane. As they fell off the cart, he would kick them
over and over again, trying to get them in to the plane with
his foot. What image is this giving people who are watching
him? I can tell you that as a client of that airline, I was
grateful I carried on my luggage!
So
how can you make sure that you and your employees give the
appearance of a strong and vibrant company? First, establish
what your company’s values are. Every company needs to establish
its core beliefs, and then build their entire business principle
around that belief. Employee manuals should be written in such
a way as to provide the knowledge necessary to define the core
values of the company, and what is acceptable behavior under
all circumstances.
Consider
the following ideas when establishing and setting up your company’s
policies.
- How
do you want to appear to your client?
- Who
is your target client, and what do they expect?
- How
does your client dress? What stores do they frequent? What
interests do they have?
- How
do you want each client greeted? In person? On the phone?
- How
are problems and customer complaints handled?
- What
is acceptable behavior from your employees? Dress code?
- Provide
each employee with a copy of the policy manual. Go over each
section and provide follow up sessions as needed.
Remember
that nothing is cast in stone, so continually make changes
as needed. When you discover areas that are unclear, create
clarification. When you discover areas that don’t exist, create
them. And when you discover areas that have too much control,
don’t be afraid to loosen up, and allow room for creativity.
