ISO 9001 certification shows that a company’s quality management system is appropriately within statutory, customer,  and regulatory requirements and enhances customer satisfaction by continually improving the system. ISO 9001 requirements were made generic so that it can be applied to any QMS, regardless of the kind of organization, how large or small it is, or its products.

Consultants implementing ISO 9001 certification training should evaluate current and common business practices with ISO 9000 guidelines in mind at all times. They then should work with management to develop and establish a customized plan that will effectively and efficiently implement ISO 9001 into a company organization. Instead of finding ways to mold a business around ISO 9001,  ISO 9001 consultants should look at how requirements of ISO 9001 fit the current business model and start from there.

3D Scanning and our Entertainment- We’ve Come a Long Way

August 7th, 2009

One of America’s favorite pastimes is going to the movies. Most first dates consist of a dinner and a movie and what a way to impress your date by taking them to an IMAX 3D movie. If you are lucky enough to live in a large enough city that has an IMAX theatre, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has been playing there. There are twelve minutes of 3D footage in the latest IMAX movie and fans love the watching experience.

Creating a real to life 3D movie seems incredible to me. The technology has come such a long way since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. 3D Scanners have made it possible to create digital models of physical objects and their surroundings with phenomenal accuracy. Along with the technological software 3D scanning applications make possible the various 3D entertainment that we now enjoy.  3D technology has helped to entertain us and made our favorite pastime a new experience.

White Gold Engagement Rings

August 1st, 2009

Wedding ring shopping is hands down the hardest part of the whole wedding for a typical guy like me. Everything else the girl and her mom take care of.  Because I had only one job, I knew I had to make sure I did it right. I went to every jewelry store in town to look for the perfect ring. All I knew was that she wanted a white gold band. I have never looked into wedding rings before, so you can only imagine my shock when I found out how expensive they are, I thought I was going to have to take out a second mortgage. Ok, that might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but every ring I looked out was completely out of my ideal price range. The rings I could actually afford were so small you basically needed a magnifying glass to see the diamond. I knew she probably wouldn’t care about the size of the ring, but I wanted to find a unique diamond ring to show her how special she is to me. With no luck, I began surfing the web. I came across a great website that sells a huge selection of white gold engagement rings at a decent price. They provide white gold wedding rings from the most exquisite jewelry manufacturers around the world. Even better, they offer free sizing and free FedEx shipping. I was able to find the perfect ring that would even impress my new mother in law. Now that my one job is done, my only task left is to make sure I make it on time to my wedding.

Debt Consolidation - Even the Government does it!

July 29th, 2009

Politics and government policy has never been subject matter that I like to immerse my free time learning about. Searching through Digg, I found an old article that stated that the United States government took out a debt consolidation loan to cover the national debt. What?!! First of all, who has 9.1 trillion to cover all the debts our country owes?  This article was dated in 2002. Does that mean our nation is going to have to find another debt consolidation organization to cover all of these bail outs? I am just stunned. I have watched several friends and family receive a debt consolidation home loan. One family went to Disneyland with the extra money instead of having a lower monthly payment. My fear is that once the government feels the relief of the debt collections and such they will just start the entire process on accumulating more and more debt besides their one monthly payment. Some people do have self control and consolidating their credit card debt actually is a good idea and it does work out in the end, so I must have hope and faith that someone in the treasury department has the smarts to control spending, maybe.

Down Pours in Eastern Idaho make Cleaning and Restoration a Must

July 13th, 2009

Idaho has not seen this much rain in one season in many, many years. June had three weeks strait of rain and the storms are raging into July. We have plenty of water for our reservoirs, but the rising water has been dangerous and a cause of two drowning in the last week. Flooding of homes basements has also been a problem. The hail from the last storm clogged homes downspouts overflowing the gutters, got into window wells and then into the foundations. Carpet cleaning companies have had an influx of business from various eastern Idaho cities, like Idaho Falls. Cleaning and restoration is a difficult job and if not done properly, the water can seep into the walls and be a breeding place for mold. Idaho Falls carpet cleaning companies were so busy last week that they actually had to turn customers away which is not ideal for the homeowner with the backed up sewage systems that poured into some basements. The last few months in Idaho have certainly been more like Washington as the rising water has wreaked havoc, but made our state unusually green.

Best Customer Service Strategies

July 13th, 2009

Most professional sales people believe that they give outstanding customer service, but it’s always best to cover all your bases. The following are a few customer service strategies various sales persons have told me works for them:

  • Genuinely know your client, be responsive and have a positive attitude.
  • Follow through with your commitments and promises.
  • Do the best to ensure your company is a solutions based business
  • Give the customer more service or product than was expected.
  • Be knowledgeable and continue your education that will profit the customer.
  • Follow up again to be certain the solutions were pleasing to the customer.
  • Most important- Treat people fairly and equitably every time.

Returning customers and referrals are very important to a business and customer service is plays a role in determining if they will come back If your business has inexperienced employees that do not meet the above guidelines, customer service training may be in order. A young business just starting out may not know all the aspects of running a successful business and that business management consulting can offer cost-effective solutions to  benefit their company with higher efficiency and productivity. Enhanced communication, greater customer satisfaction, and opportunity for growth are the benefits of seeking experienced business management consultants.

3 Factors to Consider before Creating a Franchise

July 8th, 2009

Do you have a successful business that you wish to expand? Creating a franchise may be something you wish to research as it is a complicated process and there are three things you can consider before spending any money. First, you want to evaluate your business to see if it has a successful track record of growth and profitability. If you just started increasing your profit you should continue your focus on increasing your profit more and over a longer period.  Does your business have something unique or that appeal to a lot to customers? Be certain that your consumer market is large enough for your business to at least grow on a regional or national scale. Last, and the most important factor for creating a franchise of your business is whether or not you can duplicate your success to others. Can you teach what made you successful? You will need to look at the intricacies of your business to make a proven system that you can teach and then commence with your startup franchise. If you are wondering how to create a successful business franchise do the research and ask yourself if that’s the way you wish to expand.
