Infectious Awareables

I found a great affiliate program. I will have a page of my new business website dedicated to sales; this is one that will get high profile placement.

Infectious Awareables is a company already near and dear to my heart. They, soon I’ll be able to say we, sell products that bring attention to health issues and they donate a portion of every sale to charity.

It’s an interesting opportunity, becoming what they refer to as a joint venture partner. The best thing about this is there is no investment to make and no inventory to carry.

Working with Infectious Awareables doesn’t require anything other than making people aware of the product; it sells itself.

What attracted me to this was not the affiliate opportunity; it’s the product. They describe it as “science-based products designed to promote awareness of important public health issues”. I appreciate the way they go about things, “a light-hearted, infectious approach to some serious stuff”.

I found this aspect of the company especially attractive. A portion of all proceeds is donated to disease research/education. In terms of awareness, I thought this was innovative, there’s a “learning note” and source credentials on the reverse side of the ties.

In addition to ties – both neckties and bowties – there are scarves, boxers, scrubs, teeshirts and caps.

There’s a collection of other stuff too; notecards, a book (the Germ Freak’s Guide), educational posters and a video on preventing the spread of infection.

I think there can be some real potential with this. (Product Directory)

7 Keys to Customer Service Excellence

7 Keys to Customer Service Excellence
by Anthony McCune

I have had great customer service experiences recently and others than have been absolute nightmares.

Boiling it down I would suggest these are 7 Keys To Customer Service Excellence:

1. Focus on the wants of the customer
2. Make your effort about fulfilling their need, not having them do what you want
3. Listen don’t hear
4. Determine what action(s) you need to perform to fulfill the customer’s expectations
5. Go above and beyond what is necessary to get the job done
6. Follow-up to ensure the customer is satisfied with the result you have achieved
7. Determine if there is there anything else you can do to make the customer happier?

• Find your life’s passion.
• Maintain a positive attitude.
• Do kind things for other people, only because it’s the right thing to do.
• Understand spirituality; make it an important aspect of your life.
• Embrace opportunities for learning.
• Always remember that your worth is not determined by anyone else.
• Do not settle for less than you deserve.
• Do not hesitate to show love to those who love you.
• Acknowledge the good instead of dwelling on the bad.
• Understand the value of true friendship.
