The Truth Behind Advertising
Advertising is more than just the means of disseminating product information. It is a primary communications tool of our economic system. Moreover, aside from its diverse role as a persuasive communication tool, it is also part of the everyday culture of virtually everyone. Actually advertising is a part of our social, cultural, and business environment.The specific reasons that a company chooses to advertise at a particular level is often difficult to determine. However, there are a number of situations that usually dictate a higher proportion of advertising to sales than might otherwise be used. First, it introduces a new product of s

Years ago, most offices had a saying stuck somewhere on the walls. It might have been near the copier, near the coffeepot, or near the water cooler – where supposedly everyone gathered. (Funny, I never saw people gathered around any water coolers where I worked.)

These words were a motivational saying that showed up when the copy repairman arrived. When he repaired the copiers the man needed something with words and graphics on it to test the copier, and he brought his own pages with him. He gave a copy of the week’s or month’s motivational quote to the receptionist or secretary before he left, and she usually made a few copies – one for the boss, who ultimately posted it in some prominent place, and one to each of her closest co-workers. In every office where I worked– in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Texas – there were copies of this saying. It began, “If you work for a man, work for him…”

Long ago, my last withered, crinkled and yellowed copy of those words disappeared from my personal files. The gist of the message, of course, was just how it began. If you work for a man, work for him. Give him – or your job – the attention it deserves, since he – or the company – is paying you to work.

In an Internet search, I found two quotations similar to the ones that adorned the offices and break rooms of the past.

Preserve the Loyalty You Deserve
My video duplication company has been a reliable and responsive supplier. They should be – I have spent more than $62,000 with them in the past few years.I received a complaint from a customer about one of my video programs that ‘skipped’ during playback. I thought it was an oddity and immediately replaced the disc. But the next month another complaint arrived about the same situation.I contacted the duplication company right away. They ex-plained this problem may have affected a small number of discs from their supply of blank stock. They apologized profusely and promised immediate replacement. I removed all remaining inventory

Staying in Top Condition to Serve Customers with Excellence
Here is some information to help you stay proactive - to be in control of yourself and your emotions.1. Have a safety valve for your emotions. If you suppress your anger and emotions all the time, you are likely to blow up at the wrong time at the wrong person. Express your anger, frustrations, and emotions to your “safety valve” - friends and family you trust.2. Get plenty of rest. Do not deprive yourself of sleep. If you are overly tired, you are more likely to say and do irrational things. Know how much sleep you need each night. Most people need between six and eight hours of sleep each night.3. Learn

What Is The Perfect Office Chair?
Office chairs come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Ergonomics tells us about a healthy design for the office chair. Chairs can come with adjustable parts. Yet, the human body also comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.Some are tall some are short. Some require a bigger chair width and some would prefer a smaller width. Sadly, the body cannot be as flexible as an ergonomic office chair! Although, it is not possible to find the 'perfect' office chair to suit everybody, it is quite possible to adjust us to all types of seating arrangements.You do a lot of sitting around as part of our lifestyles. You sit at park benches,

Customer Service Managers: Are You Going to Make Your Troops March?
In an ideal world, each person would find his highest and best uses to society and apply himself to them.He’d be paid in a manner that is precisely commensurate to his contributions.He’d happily dispatch himself to work on time because he would appreciate how blissful it is to be well matched to one's job.As a manager, you wouldn’t have to push him or cajole or entreat him to do his best, because he’d gladly give 100% all of the time, finding joy in challenges, while embracing change.It sounds like a fairy tale world that I’m painting, doesn’t it?But how different is this vision from that of organizational de

If you work for someone, then work for him: Speak well of him and stand by the institution he represents. Remember, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must growl, condemn, and eternally find fault, resign your position and when you are on the outside, complain to your hearts content. But as long as you are a part of the institution do not condemn it.

~ Elbert Hubbard

When you work for a man, work for him. Give him your dedication, honesty, sincerity and 100% of your skills. If you must damn him, do so from without; quit and then damn him to high heaven if that is your wish. But while you are in his employ, do nothing or say nothing negative about him, or to him.

~ James Ellis Dolan

The second version sounds more like the one we had in offices throughout the land.

Today, we need this quotation or something similar posted on offices, in retail stores and in fast food restaurants. We need words like these everywhere today, at least in the United States. Customer service and company loyalty are really lacking.

It might be a good idea if we made words such as these a part of our educational system and shared them during new employee orientation and training. I wonder, though, if it would make a difference. These words may not be specific enough for today’s employees. We might have to explain what is and is not proper behavior for an employee.

When you work for a man, work for him. Give him you
