Every business owner or future entrepreneur should know the importance of getting your business name out into the community, or presented to your target audience. In order to get your business known or seen, it is important that you develop a significant marketing strategy. Having a great marketing plan will assist you in setting yourself apart from the competition. There are several ways to get your name out to the public. Word of mouth is usually the best way. If your clients appreciate your service or product, they are prone to share the information with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. There is also another way to get your name out to the public. You can get a visible sign with your brand or logo on it.

Having a sign is a simple way of letting people know where your business is located. You can determine what type of sign to present to your customers based on the product or service you provide. Most coffee houses and cafes usually display a sign of a coffee cup or something similar. The size of your sign should be a major factor when making your decision. The larger the sign, the more it will be seen. Ensure the location of the sign is not being blocked or obstructed. You will find that there are a myriad of sign styles to choose from. You can select an electric sign or something with dimensional lettering. If cost is a factor your can choose a customized banner to hang outside. Brightly colored neon signs are very popular, especially the Outdoor Signs in Orange County.

In addition to signs that are displayed on a building, you can also choose to have your vehicle outfitted with your company name and logo. Advertising via vehicle graphics is amazing. You can also get brochures and business cards as well.

Contact Sunset Signs or a similar vendor to get some advice if you are not sure on what type of sign to get. Make sure they have a professional graphic designer on hand to walk your through the process. You can get some great deals on Outdoor Signs in Orange County. Call a vendor today and begin the process of setting yourself apart from your competitors.

Arbonne International is a direct selling company that is operated in California, US. They make a line of light quality skin care, color cosmetics, weight loss, aromatherapy and nutrition products that are exclusive to their company. They say they are based on natural and botanical principles.

As I have done some research, I have found that they market through independent consultants that are networked throughout the company. It appears that the cost to become a consultant is very reasonable. The cost for a starter kit is only $29 and the super kit can be purchased for $65.

The company is known for their consultants to earn enough to pay for product, but not much more. There are no territories provided like you have with Avon, so you neighbor may have already sold the neighborhood. You will earn the most by network marketing; this is where your residual income comes from. Cold marketing and prospecting will be necessary to maintain your position in the company in order to continue to receive commissions. You won’t be allowed to sell online unless you are using Arbonne’s web template website and paying them a monthly fee.

Arbonne buys their formulas from labs and chemists that make and sell to other cosmetic companies. They are not exclusive to Arbonne. And Mr. Botiglierri does not work exclusively with or for Arbonne. He actually develops products for several other cosmetic companies. Which means there are many companies with similar formulas.

Arbonne also claims to be a Swiss company when it has been proven that they have never had a license or produced any product there at all. There are many people that write to beauty consultants on the Internet asking about the Arbonne products and if the claims they make are true. Their biggest claim is that mineral oil is dangerous to the skin and this is the reason for high rates of skin cancer in the US.

The company maintains mineral oil interferes with skin functions and delivery systems. Cosmetics-grade mineral oil is not a problem, nor has ever been, for skin. In fact, mineral oil is one of the mildest ingredients for making dry skin look and feel softer. The effectiveness cannot be disputed.

Arbonne International has shown that the success rate is low, and they appear to have a high drop out rate. There is also a lot of competition making it so much harder to be successful. The greatest obstacle in the sales end of things is that Arbonne International products can be purchased online on sites such as Ebay or Craigslist, much cheaper.

And this can happen with any product that we sell in network marketing. The products are sold at such a high price, and there is always someone willing to sell it for less. They may be trying to get rid of inventory. No matter the reason, the problem still exists.

If the product is good, it works and it can sell, then see if it is something you would like to do. Check into the site further and make sure that financially it is stable and its reputation is of good standing. With a lot of commitment and effort, you should be able to make some money at this business. But check it all out before you sign up.

What is more beautiful to watch than a sky full of birds, clouds and lots of kitesurfers? Well, not just 2 kitesurfers, but hundreds of them, over 300 kitesurfers flying up in the sky and showing their mad skills in kiteboarding. It is a sight to savour the moment. A truly magnificent view to look at.

People reveled in the view as hundreds of kitesurfers fled the beach of Hayling and is on their way for a breaking world record of kitesurfers embracing the heat of the sun and just doing their best when it comes to kitesurfing.

We are talking about the 362 kitesurfers who are ready to take on the challenge on breaking the 352 number of kitesurfers in the Guinness World Record, while they are backed up by the Virgin Company tycoon Sir Richard Branson and the organisers of the said event. They are hoping to break the record and also it is for the largest parade of kitesurfers that will assemble in the seashore. It was fittingly called the Kitesurfing Armada. Its the most anticipated event of the season, especially for all kitesurfers who came all the way across the world to join this prestigious event. The kitesurfers will take to the water near Hayling Island Golf Club to complete the one-mile course for everyone.

But sport is full of surprises, especially with the weather involved. While everyone is having a blast of fun, it was around 3pm, Saturday, there are only 344 kitesurfers who had completed the one-mile course and eight of them shy out for the world record. But the loss failed to dampen spirits as people of all ages enjoyed the experience. For them, it was an experience of a lifetime. It will surely be put in their memory box, for sure. The oldest participant was Judy Tonkinson, 73, from West Sussex.

In her interview, she said here for the charities involved, thats what the Armada is all about. Having fun on the day and beating the youngsters is just an added bonus! Judy was the oldest kitesurfer in the event and Adam Farrington, an 11 years old boy, was the Kitesurfing Armadas youngest participant who has kited his way together with his father, Mr. Russell Farrington.

According to Mr. Russells interview, he said Its so much better now that Adam can kitesurf with me, he doesnt have to just watch or sit on my board. Its important to keep young people coming through the sport. Its important to show how good and how beneficial kitesurfing is all about. Each participant raised at least 100, with all of the proceeds going to charities, which were youth charity Snow-Camp, Virgin Unite and the RNLI.

We came across with Dan Charlish, the director of Snow-Camp and the Kitesurfing Armada event. In his interview, he mentioned that the event was a phenomenal event of the season and to see the response of the kitesurfing community, coming together as a kitesurfing family to support the Virgin Kitesurfing Armada, is quite overwhelming. Although we had enough kitesurfers on the water, because of disqualifications the official result was 344 but a fantastic result nonetheless, he then added.

For all the kitesurfers who joined the event, for them it was a brilliant day at Hayling and they were so grateful to have witnessed an awesome event. They surely wont forget this for the rest of their lives.

How AI could change your contact centre – the latest blog from Puzzel

London, UK, November 24, 2017 – The roar has become louder over the last 12 months. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is coming and it will change everything. It’s been a gift to editors, bloggers, Ted talk speakers and conference organisers. Especially for the easy headlines it generates amongst an audience which wants to know if bots are really ready to take jobs or will technology just help make form filling slightly less boring.

Everyone is at it. Amazon and Google are racing to fill consumer homes with devices that offer voice access to getting stuff done. The billion+ user sized messaging platforms are touting the promise of solutions using real people blended with bot power when times are busy or needs are simple enough to fulfil using automation.

Meanwhile virtual assistants sit on web sites helping users find answers and avoid live voice queues, by offering a better user experience than the average on-site search box. Some have been at it for over a decade. Way before it became fashionable to get excited about bots.

How does AI work?

Underneath the bonnet of AI is a pretty impressive set of technologies. Machine learning looks for patterns. These can be in the questions asked by customers, or in the outcomes generated by individual advisors. The use of machine learning will play an increasingly important role in helping to spot knowledge gaps and act as a useful tool in self service knowledge collection.

Natural language processing is another relevant technology that helps identify a customer’s intent and steer the process of matching questions with answers. Of course natural language has been used for some time to transform the way customers engage with IVRs by removing the often complex menu based interface that can frustrate customers. That same technology is now being used to steer self service conversations within defined topic boundaries with the same level of success.

Why do we need AI?

Automation using AI plays well into the ever rising expectations of customers. Always on access has become a core experience of the mobile consumer who instinctively wants to self manage on their own terms. That said, it has to be easy, which means it needs to be fast, well designed and navigate the user to their desired outcome in the least possible number of steps. AI, via intelligent assistance, plugs the gap between this level of expectation and previous generations of self service in which discoverability and answer quality undermined to desire to self serve.

As a benchmark for this type of functionality, Google transformed access to the vast repository of services we call the internet with an incredibly simple yet satisfyingly smart interface. Simple because it is just a search box, smart because it learns your behaviour and applies behavioural insight from the billions of other times users have requested a service similar to the one you currently need. The net result is a fast, relevant outcome.

This level of service is how it should be in terms of functionality for any form of intelligent assistant. As consumer confidence and habit grows, your intelligent assistance will eventually need to appear on all platforms, devices and modalities to meet expectations.

Where to start?

However, all that is in the future. At least in terms of where most organisations currently find themselves. So where is the right place to start? What is an appropriate level of ambition?

AI is here to stay and it will change customer service. This is certain. Therefore it matters that you are successful and develop a firm foundation upon which to evolve your AI customer service strategy. It also matters that you win the agreement of colleagues and budget owners that the benefits for ongoing investment are clear and compelling.

Therefore start with an easy win. If you are in a high volume, voice based service business then maybe it is time to look at refreshing the IVR experience with a natural language interface. If you provide services that impact people’s lives like travel or utilities, then maybe extending your alert system to include a home assistant such as Google Assistant or Alexa makes increasing sense as they become part of smart home lifestyles for certain customer segments.

Alternatively start with a safer option and look at your online service portal and the current value offered by your FAQs. This is where many organisations are starting their AI journey and building out from there.

What’s Next?

We have written a whitepaper on AI and contact centres which can be downloaded here(https://www.puzzel.com/uk/white-papers/artificial-intelligence-contact-centre/). Meanwhile keep listening to the roar to discover how AI could change your contact centre these are exciting times.
