Rehumanize Your Business


Book Description

Accelerate sales and improve customer experience Every day, most working professionals entrust their most important messages to a form of communication that doesn't build trust, provide differentiation, or communicate clearly enough. It's easy to point to the sheer volume of emails, text messages, voicemails, and even social messaging as the problem that reduces our reply rates and diminishes our effectiveness. But the faceless nature of that communication is also to blame. Rehumanize Your Business explains how to dramatically improve relationships and results with your customers, prospects, employees, and recruits by adding personal videos to emails, text messages, and social messages. It explains the what, why, and how behind this new movement toward simple, authentic videos—and when to replace some of your plain, typed-out communication with webcam and smartphone recordings. • Restore face-to-face communication for clarity and connection • Add a personal, human touch to your emails and other messages • Meet people who’ve sent thousands of videos • Learn to implement your own video habit in an easy, time-saving way • Boost your replies, appointments, conversion, referrals, and results dramatically If you’re ready to influence, teach, sell, or serve in a more personal way, Rehumanize Your Business is your guide.




Improve Your Business


Book Description

This Trainer's Guide takes trainers step by step through the setting up of a 40-hour course using the materials in the book to improve Your Business Basics. Few publications are simple and clear enough to be easily understood by people who have not been exposed to business training, and yet still communicate the basic management skills required by entrepreneurs to run small businesses successfully. Improve Your Business Basics attempts to fill that gap. The underlying idea that improvements originate from active and creative thinking by entrepreneurs themselves is developed in the book to encourage and motivate entrepreneurs to improve their businesses. It forms an integral part of the Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) programme which, in turn, is part of the ILO's International Small Enterprise Programme. The SIYB programme has been designed to provide a sustainable and cost-effective method of reaching substantial numbers of small-scale entrepreneurs and provide them with the practical management skills needed for profitablity in a competitive environment. The SIYB programme provides individuals and institutions with a comprehensive and inter-related set of training materials. Aimed at a variety of target groups, it deals with various topics related to small-enterprise development such as training, business counseling, monitoring and evaluation, and networking. Small-enterprise development institutions in more than 70 countries have used the SIYB programme. The new international edition draws on more than a decade of operational experience.
