SIT DOWN, SHUT-UP, AND COLOR! Leading the “MY” generation. D. Kevin Berchelmann 158 Entitlement thinking…don’t you just love it?? More and more, many employees feel that the rewards of business, employment, and hard, successful work are a ‘right,’ not the reward and recognition for performance, or results of a business need. What’s up with that?? Kevin calls it the “MY” generation. His session on leading through these entitlement ideas is entertaining, and sure to evoke responses from all attending. After all, we all ‘know someone who…’ Now, don’t be misled into thinking that this “MY” generation is “generational.” It isn’t. It crosses all ages and demographics; all industries and backgrounds. It is certainly not a play on words representing Generation X, Y, Z, Q, or any other such ridiculously-labeled group of people. It’s people just like you. And me. Us. So, it’s growing like a weed, and we can’t blame it on a single age-group (darn it!). What, then, are we to do?
It’s not just in the construction arena it’s in every arena and we are seeing more of it as more eople come onto the workforce its including every generation. The entitlement feeling is like morphine across all generations now so it’s something we al have to eal with. But what causes or caused the problem with this type of thinking and behavior? It hasn’t appeared all of a sudden or on its own so what are some of the possible caused of this thought process that seems to be running rampant in our work force It’s not like we are victims we woke up one day and it was just there. Think about this you have a policy at work could be something as simple as being late It’s your policy that tardy ness is not tolerated, the offence along with the consequences are in the hand book but when someone comes in a little late the apologize the first couple of times nothing is done and now they feel entitled why there was never any consequence. So let me ask you this who’s fault is it for the final attitude and behavior. The boss is. I know this seems small and of no consequence, it does lead to a much larger epidemic of poor attitudes and behaviors. Now let’s get to the nitty gritty. Whose responsibility is it to repair the damage that has been done? Whose responsibility is it to retrain employees to change this undelaying attitude? It’s always easier to blame someone else. But that’s not the correct answer. Kevin Berchelmann has some great thoughts about the work environment and how to help create strong leaders. Does your company desire to have Kevin help your leaders lead and have your organization succed?

Relationship Marketing on LEGAL Steroids Joshua Lattimer 155
It’s really awesome to have Joshua Lattimer back on the program Today we really go into relationship marketing and Josh has really taken This concept to a whole new level and putting a new twist on the whole concept by renaming it the Gratitude effect. Why is important to make you customer to feel really important appreciated and loved. It cost so much less to keep a customer than it to go out and get a new one. Yet we continually go after new business because most business owners have leaky buckets. And the only reason they have leaky buckets is their customers are leaving because they are not treated special . Heck most business owners never give that customer they just did business another thought. Regardless if you Send Jim the importance of making your customers feel appreciated love and having a real relationship with them rather than only focusing on a wham bam thank you ma'am transaction right and leaving them high and dry look little businesses don't follow up sometimes at all or not enough with their customers. This is your company's biggest asset this is the thing this isn't like the gold mine in your pocket for whatever reason we completely neglect it ,not on purpose but it can kick and devastate your business and it's one of the big reasons businesses get stuck at the same revenue level for 10 or 15 years because they're getting as many new customers in as they're losing on the backend and they're just spinning their wheels because they have no retention strategy in their business at all that's really unfortunate but send Jim tries to do is solve that problem yeah it's going to cost a fortune to get new clients in the business and in fact it actually cost 8 or 10 times more to get a new customer than it does to keep a current customer. Everything is about math so do the numbers does it make good business sense to lose customers on the back end while your dumping money into the top end of the funnel to replace the ones your loosing or would it be wiser to take a good portion of your marketing and focus on keeping your customers the ones that support your business and do some new lead capture for new business for actual growth.
