Looking for sound advice for your organization in 2011? In a recent article Dr. Lalia Rach, Trend Forecaster, Innovator, and visionary provided the perfect prescription. Lalia suggests a “to do” list in the HotelNewsNow.com article.
- Innovate by questioning all old assumptions.
- Be Creative. She notes a candy company that had a negative sales incentive. Those who met their sales goals won trips to Hawaii; those who didn’t went to Fargo, North Dakota. [Brrrrrrr.]
- Focus on employees. Be a mentor to one another.
- Dominate your market by expanding the use of business intelligence. Think of all the things you can do with good information.
- Rethink loyalty. Customers are loyal to people, not points or programs. Loyalty is an emotion. [Think sports fans…like the Green Bay Packer cheese head fans.]
- Solve Problems, don’t sell.
“We have been talking about the new normal for 24 months,” Rach said. “Kids, this is it. We’re not going back.”
