-
Image
As a Customer Service Professional, I have come to terms that excellent and quality service sticks in the heart of customers which keeps them coming back again and again!.  Psychological factors affect the decisions we make every day. Of course, most of us are blissfully unaware of the tendencies that influence our actions. However, businesses can use the hidden psychology driving our behaviors to yield big profits. From the work that we do, to the habits that we form, to the rationalizations we make, our behavior and mental state influence tastes and preferences in unusual ways by getting us to invest in products and services in seemingly inconsequential ways. Labor = Love In a 2011 study, three researchers measured how work affects the  value of things. University students were given instructions to assemble an origami crane or frog. After the exercise, students were asked to purchase their creation, bidding up to $1. Meanwhile, a separate group of students located in an...

How to Handle Your Child’s Requests When You Can’t Provide

-
Image
As a parent, there will be times when your child asks for something you simply can't provide. How you handle these requests can shape their understanding of value, patience, and financial responsibility. Here’s a realistic approach to managing such situations with care and clarity. 1. Be Honest but Gentle Honesty is essential, but it should be communicated with sensitivity. If you don’t have the item or resource your child is asking for, it’s important to be clear without making them feel their request is a burden. For example, you might say, “We don’t have that right now,” rather than simply “I don’t have.” This helps convey that the issue is about availability, not a lack of willingness to provide. 2. Explain the Situation Offering a brief explanation can help your child understand why their request cannot be met immediately. For instance, if the item is expensive or not readily available, you could say, “We don’t have that right now because we need to sav...

Who is Responsible for Taking Care of the Children?

-
Image
The responsibility of raising children has always been a topic of discussion, shaped by cultural values, religious beliefs, and modern-day realities. While parenting is ideally a shared duty between both parents, society often influences how responsibilities are divided. This article explores the dynamics of parenting roles in Nigeria and sheds light on how these roles can be balanced for the benefit of the children. Traditional Parenting Roles in Nigeria In many Nigerian households, traditional customs dictate that the father is the primary provider, while the mother takes on the caregiver role. Fathers are expected to work hard to ensure the financial stability of the home, while mothers focus on nurturing and managing the home front. For example, a father might ensure that school fees, clothing, and food are provided, but the mother often becomes the cornerstone of daily interactions, offering emotional support, teaching values, and maintaining discipline. This division of labor was...

5 Fresh Ways to Keep Your Love Alive

-
Image
Love is something we all feel, and we show it in different ways. Long ago, people would express love by saying sweet words, doing things to help, giving gifts, spending time together, and holding hands. But now, with our phones and computers, love can be shown in new ways. 1. Saying Sweet Words with Messages In the past, people would say "I love you" face-to-face or write it in a letter. Today, we do this through messages on WhatsApp, Facebook, or Instagram. A simple "Good morning" or "I miss you" in a text message can make someone feel special.  Even sending a heart emoji or a cute sticker can show that you care. But we need to be careful because sometimes, without hearing a voice or seeing a face, messages can be misunderstood. 2. Helping Each Other Through Technology Helping your partner used to mean doing things like cooking, running errands, or fixing something in the house. Now, you can help each other through your...

In today’s retail world, shelf management plays a critical role in driving store performance. The look and feel of your shelves can make or break the shopping experience, influencing customer satisfaction, store perception, and ultimately, sales.

This ensures that customers always encounter fully stocked shelves, boosting the likelihood of making a purchase and creating a seamless shopping experience. Rather than waiting ...

In Nigeria's vibrant market, following up with customers is more than just a sales tactic; it's an opportunity to foster meaningful relationships and drive growth. I recall a personal experience that highlights the power of persistence and emotional intelligence in sales. A few months ago, I had a client on the Island in Admiralty Lekki, one of the more affluent areas in Lagos.

However, I remained patient and empathetic, focusing on understanding her specific needs and addressing her concerns. Through consistent and thoughtful follow-ups, I gradually built a rapport with her. I made sure to listen actively, understand her preferences, and demonstrate how my product could meet her needs. Eventually, my perseverance paid off. She made a purchase, and our interaction turned into a positive experienc...

Meetings  are a critical place to   show your worth , build your reputation, and get your voice   heard .
