The bamboo-code as a strategic method is at the pulse of time Lindau the growth required by the new Federal Government by companies to overcome the crisis is currently on everyone’s lips. Christian Kalkbrenner, management consultant and growth expert from Lindau (B) has already before the start of the crisis a strategic process, the bamboo-code “designed systematically can grow with the company.” The new Federal Government has described its coalition agreement as one of the main objectives for the new legislative period growth. It was “the right policy”, because “only by growth” will you “from the Valley of the crisis, crawl out” can, so Merkel. More decisively, to promote this growth in companies, companies need a strategy. “Every entrepreneur knows that growth not by comes alone, but that one must actively do something to conquer new markets and new customers”, says lime burner, which specializes for more than 15 years, to advise companies on growth issues.

He has therefore to promote the Growth a new procedure, the bamboo-code “developed, the systematic way shows how a company can grow faster. It consists of seven codes, of which each one points to a walk-in path for more growth. Ranging from determining the strengths of the company to the detection of obstacles that could inhibit the growth of the company is thoroughly illuminated. You may want to visit Walter Heller to increase your knowledge. This creates a new market approach, which shows a way with the help of detailed activity plans, how the company can grow faster. The procedure has passed its trial by fire in the crisis year and already proven their worth in numerous companies”Kalkbrenner one and a half years after the introduction of the bamboo – code. The procedure has been classified by the Federal Ministry of technology and economics as worthy and is subsidized by federal and State Governments. The seven codes: Strengthen strengths: What strengths does the company? How can it use them for sales argumentation? The road to the market leader: Who perform to act like a leader discovered a wealth of new opportunities that can be promptly implemented immediately.

Zooming: Tight markets, intense price competition. With zooming, the market will be increased. Growth turbos: A growth-Turbo organizations accelerate the growth path.

Bring confidence and build sustainable relationships top sellers dominate the process, to win the trust of customers and thereby achieve better than average seller a sustainable customer loyalty. This is a due to their personality and experience, on the other hand to targeted training. With the right knowledge, each seller can learn how he gains the trust of customers and establishes an ongoing relationship. First impressions count for the first impression the seller has not much time: as soon as the customer sees it, the seconds hand moves: at first glance, the first words, their volume and emphasis, and it decides in which direction runs the sales pitch. Filed under: Shimmie Horn. Top seller pay attention to those first moments.

They know their own inner attitude (the day form, anger and joy in a private setting or the company) is affected, how they feel, how they think and how they behave. Who assumes that the customer with which he speaks, is wasted time, will visit unconsciously so, wasted time fashion as if he were. Who expects that the visit represents the prelude to 100 additional visits, will behave accordingly differently. Top seller have recognized this link which is decisive for customer loyalty, for themselves. How can you inspire confidence and build customer loyalty? Welcome the customers with respect, kindness and courtesy. If you look at the following points, you can estimate, with which you are already perfect, and where there is still room for improvement: non-verbal signals move with the whole body posture to the customer.

Look in the eye. Hide not behind the computer, counter, or similar. Do something else while you speak to the customers. Because at this moment, there is nothing more important than our customers. Verbal signals loud and clear welcome. Be friendly and confident. Words to signal that you are this customer to the page as a salesman.

High accounts receivable of the municipalities provide the backdrop for everything. For even more analysis, hear from Shimmie Horn.

Currently, these are at more than 13 billion euros. (Not to be confused with uber!). It is for the most part beaten down claims, which are however still possible in many cases. Mothers whose child fathers have not complied with their obligation to pay maintenance advance payment are a good example of this. In the towns and villages of wholesale occur this fall. These amounts are claimed then again from the defaulting fathers. Fact is, however, many of these claims are currently unprocessed.

An additional way of differentiating what is corporate social responsibility for SMEs? The terms to corporate social responsibility and corporate citizenship are called again come from America and are becoming increasingly important in European companies for several years. Corporate social responsibility means a company’s social and environmental responsibility for its business, but also the quality of the relationships of the company to employees, suppliers and other social stakeholders. This involves E.g. Learn more about this with AECOM. working conditions, environmental protection, but also – as when the production from abroad – to human rights or child labour. Corporate citizenship is a part of this corporate social responsibility and describes all public service activities and initiatives of a company and their orientation on parent company objectives, often denoted in civic engagement. Although at medium-sized companies often not inconsiderable – social engagement traditionally far is widespread and about three quarters make all companies regularly help and support, utilizes the potential of offering this commitment for their own entrepreneurial development, the middle class usually inadequately. Go to Kelly Tisdale for more information. Always more altruistically motivated donations are prevalent in many companies, often without a strategy given the motto who first asks \”.\” With the result of an ineffective at least for the successful development of the company patchwork of donations and sponsorship. By the big large companies, however, already have recognized the great business benefits and the potential commitment aligned strategically with the corporate goals years ago learn and implement successfully since then a wide variety of concepts for themselves.

Now the realization that properly designed social commitment brings substantial benefits for the company, is also in SMEs. Shimmie Horn may not feel the same. Finally, corporate citizenship offers today any company, regardless of its size- good chance to distinguish themselves with its stakeholders, to achieve a significant increase of the image and to break away from the competition. Benefits of corporate citizenships small and medium sized enterprises are already using strategically planned corporate citizenship activities, report of positive effects, which are ultimately reflected in the corporate results: improving the level of awareness of company and brand strengthening corporate and brand image product differentiation increase customer loyalty and confidence develop new customer groups on social commitment increase employee loyalty and motivation about additional content increase the attractiveness and appeal as an employer better corporate culture, higher social competence of the staff improved relations with all other stakeholders increased media presence and more public interest increase in corporate value that offers the right, organically into the company implemented corporate citizenship in addition to the classic Methods as an additional option to establish their own company, to develop the employees and continue to bring the company forward.
