Invest on Product first and then into Marketing !!

-
In an era of digital marketing, here was an incident which I came across when I was strolling through the busy streets of Bangalore.

A Young Boy probably in his early 20's approached me with a bunch of pamphlets and handed me one. The boy looked well dressed and wore latest fashion.

"Sir, we have a new photo studio with the latest technology and amazing Service".

This was really not the need and I informed him of my dis-interest. But he pleaded hard and infact gave away that on sending X no. of customer he would be getting Y% of incentive and he was in extreme need of money. Still not interested, but also not trying to make him feel dejected again I agreed to go upstairs to studio and have a look. But I had a pre-set mind not to be lured, because I didn't have a need.

As I reached  photo studio I was amazed with the studio and the photos they had taken. I spent nearly 30 mins in studio appreciating each photo and also ended up getting a photo done from them.
As I look back into what had happened, I wondered that it was out of Sympathy that I had decided to have a look into studio, but it was their excellent product that had compelled me to use it and be their customer. They had created a need.

Moral : 

No matter what approach of Marketing you take, you have to make the best products / best service to retain and get new customers.

But many times the company plans to achieve these strategies by squeezing the existing resources. But since many employees fear saying "NO" to the managers, they take the tasks / additional load which would impact the productivity levels of their existing tasks : Am not saying here that each task an employee receives, must say "NO" to it, but my point is that the employee needs to evaluate it before accepting.  1. What is current occupancy level ?  Nobody in the organisation is working for 100% of their working hours. This is a known fact to all. But the occupancy level differs for each employee. The employee needs to evaluate the occupancy level and based on the same if it is more than 75% then he can explain the same to the manager in a logical way to say "NO" to t...

First day to office, get the best shirt you have, get the best trousers, polish the shoes until it shines like a mirror, get the best perfume etc etc..... So it is the best you put on to impress the people you will be meeting in first day of first / new company. Let's look into some of the must do things as an employee joining a new organization : 1. Be who you are : While they say "First Impression is the best impression", be who you are, do not over impress. While many employees take the extra effort to be accepted in new organization, what they miss out is probably that this extra effort would cost them in future. As people build expectations with your initial few interactions and to retain the impression with them new employees continue to deliver the extra effort which would drain out their energy. Therefore, be who you are !! 2. Listen carefully : Open your ears widely to listen every bit of conversation. Restrain as much as you can from partici...
