Did you check them out?

Tonight while at a networking event, I was speaking to a gentlemen about his business. We ended up talking about the company that did not deliver his website after months! We discussed his project and I know from what he was asking and willing to pay, it was not a three month project. Yes, I know there is always another side to the story. But it gets better. With out him naming the company that was doing his website, I expressed to him I had met a gentlemen (call him “LIAR”) three months ago at an event gloating on how LIAR’s “Web design” company did not have any competition in Indiana.  They were 1 of 2 companies in Indiana who could provide the services he provided. NATURALLY, I asked for the “LIARs’” card so I could check him out online. As I figured, nothing special or at least nothing I could not see other companies including myself doing in Indiana achieving. But then I noticed a website of someone I had just met three weeks prior to meeting the LIAR. I gave them a call and was completely honest. “I am just calling today because I met this LIAR and wanted to check out my competition and see what type of experience you had”. WOW! Long story short, she had a nightmare story.

So plain and simple check my company or any other company out before doing business.

What do you need to ask?

First do not ask the company you are considering anything!

Talk to the people they have done work for. Ask them, would you recommend Yougo Network, why or why not?

This one question will tell you if you want to work with them.

Final note: There is just to much AMAZING competition in Indiana to highlight the top 5. Instead of looking for the top company, look for a business that will listen and care about your needs. You can find this out by talking to their current clients. It is just to easy for the company to Lie!

Time to focus on today

Next to all the post on predictions for the new year and so many people tweeting “2010 will be the best year yet and they are so excited for the new year”, is over! I think it is great to be excited about the upcoming new year (Note the new year has started, did you?)but come on, honestly a new year is not going to change anything, unless you are excited about what you do daily.

Stop predicting and get productive today!

Do you really have a good relationship with your client? How do you know?

At Yougo Network we work very hard to build on old and new client relations. I can openly admit our competition is great and we are not the best. We do work very hard to provide what we call the “WOW effect” to every client. We work to exceed expectations regardless of the budget. It has been the “WOW effect” as to why we have grown and added new services.

To answer my question, we do have a good relationship with our clients.

  • Clients tell us when they are not happy.
  • Clients tell us when they are happy.
  • Clients refer us to others.
  • Clients ask us to provide a new service that we currently do not offer, just so they can leave their other service provider!

It all comes down to one thing for us and that is to “CARE”. It might also be that we have the best clients in the world! :)

I would love to hear how others build relationships with their clients and how they know their relationship is good.
