Attract the Right Job or Clientele: Sales Tip #634

Answers Come from a Variety of Opinions

This morning we read someone had violated the self-checkout payment system at Lucky Market in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Numerous consumers had their accounts violated.  The incident produced a discussion among several about the pros and cons of self-checkout.

A few people said they never self-checkout for a couple of reasons.  One couple prefers the service and do not mind waiting in line; another said when the line is long she timidly asks a manager for added help; and yet another said, “having someone wait on you saves jobs.”  

On the other side of the equation, a couple of people said they are too impatient to wait in line.  They prefer, particularly if they only have one or two items, to check out on their own.  

There isn’t a right or wrong answer necessarily, but the learning point here is to examine all problems or challenges from a multi-faceted problem solving standpoint.  This particularly true when you are stumbled as to why you are not getting the job offer or why prospects are not choosing to become your clients.  The willingness to analyze the conversation leading up to the disappointment and further willingness to tweak what did not work will land you in the lead candidate position in the near future or the next client provider.  Brainstorming with trusted peers brings about new perspectives too.  

Also this morning, I participated in a collaborative effort on a radio program hosted by Deborah Shane.  All of the guests help their clients build their personal brand and branding effort to see increased results and generously shared their insights for the audience.  Click this link to hear the show.
