Many people see customer service as something separate from marketing, but just think about it for a second: what better way is there to market your business than to give your customers such good customer service they spread the word about your company? After many decades as a public speaker and customer service guru, Martin Grunstein has seen all-too-often how much companies neglect customer service. Time and again they will pay big money for advertising, but when it comes to follow-up calls to customers, they will say they don’t have the time or the money. Luckily, Martin has shared some very simple methods that we can all follow in order to nail our customer service. See below for a quick snapshot: ** When advertising, don’t be too obsessed with price. Talk about your point of difference, especially if that is your service. ** Don’t get into arguments with customers on social media. You need to show you’re responsive to customer complaints but it’s wise to take any debate offline. How about offering to take them for coffee? ** A recent survey found that 14% of people would stop dealing with a business on grounds of price, but 68% would on grounds of customer service. ** Ongoing communication with clients is absolutely key to understanding the quality of your customer service. Follow-up calls are absolutely paramount. ** Understand that you might have to apologise to customers even when they are in the wrong. Sometimes you are dealing with perceptions rather than reality. In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn: ** The laws of customer service and behaviour ** How customer service can drive ROI ** Customer service trends over the last 30 years ** How easy it is to shine compared to your competitors ** The relative merits of qualitative V quantitative research Resources mentioned in this episode: ** Exclusive offer from this week’s show sponsors BarterCard.

While it was a slow tax week, on the news front, there were some pieces of news that were worth of being shared. This week we discuss when do you need to remit the GST on Bartercard receipts (yes, Bartercard is still a thing); remind you that if you are in the construction industry your Annual Taxable Payments Report is nearly due; and finish off on more GST - this time simplified GST. You ca hear it all: The AAT has held that a taxpayer must attribute the GST payable on taxable supplies it made under a barter scheme to the tax period when its trade account was credited for those supplies. see Taxology Pty Ltd v FC of T 2016 The ATO has reminded tax agentsthat if they have clients in the building and construction industry who paid contractors during 2015-16, their Taxable payments annual report is due by the 28th August 2016. Reporting to the ATO is required if all of the following apply: * a business is primarily in the building and construction industry * it makes payments to contractors for building and construction services * the business has an ABN. The ATO considers a business to be a business that is primarily in the building and construction industry if any of the following apply: * in the current financial year, 50% or more of its business income is derived from providing building and construction services * in the current financial year, 50% or more of its business activity relates to building and construction services * in the financial year immediately before the current financial year, 50% or more of its business income was derived from providing building and construction services. The information reported about payments made to building and construction contractors is used by the ATO in its data matching program to detect contractors who have not either lodged tax returns, or included all their income on tax returns that have been lodged. The ATO have released Draft SAM 2016/D38- GST: Simplified Accounting Method Determination (No 38) 2016 for Restaurants, Cafes and Caterers - purchases snapshot method. The Draft SAM notes that an entity may choose to use the simplified accounting method (SAM) stated in Clause 5 of the Draft to work out its input tax credits for acquisitions of trading stock for a tax period if: * it is registered for GST throughout the tax period * during the tax period, it operated a restaurant, café or catering business, and * its GST turnover does not exceed the small enterprise turnover threshold. The steps for this SAM are: * Choose a sample period * Work out the amount of trading stock purchased during each sample period * Work out the percentage of GST-free trading stock purchases for the sample period * Work out the input tax credits the entity can claim for each tax period using the GST-free trading stock purchases percentage. General information about use of SAMs is on the ATO website.
Ed Dale first used the internet in 1984, so he’s a great man to speak to about digital marketing strategy. Ed certainly isn’t your usual technology geek. He actually spent time as an AFL commentator and then used his technical knowledge to develop a stats collection system that is still used today by the top clubs and associations in the league. He then built up an internet marketing company that he sold for AUD3.5m, and for the last ten years he has developed and internet marketing programme called “The challenge” which has helped over 300,000 people across the world. Here are some of Ed’s top tips: ** The biggest challenge in internet marketing today is generating traffic. ** Product creation has become easier. ** The biggest mistakes people make is to develop a product before they develop a market for it. ** All product makers should aspire to become a market influencer. ** Talk the language of your niche, and understand their pains. ** Think about testing your market by spending a small amount on Facebook advertising, before you jump in to a large-scale campaign. ** Most people are accessing the internet on mobiles, so don’t get stuck on producing campaigns for desktops. ** The way you speak to your friends now is a good trailing indicator of the most effective medium of advertising in the future. In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn: ** How to understand the pains of your market ** The value of advertising on YouTube ** How to be specific with Facebook advertising ** The difference in buying intent between Facebook users and google users ** Where email fits in the marketing mix ** The inner workings of “the challenge” ** The merits of using social media V personal email messages Resources mentioned in this episode: ** This week’s show sponsor, Bartercard are offering free advertising for your business, and have a special offer of 5,000 AUD credit for BBF listeners.

Greg Cassar is fast becoming a legend of the BBF podcast… we like him so much that we’ve invited him back for the third time! As one of Australia’s leading marketing coaches, there’s simply no one better at describing the technicalities of marketing in simple terms. This week we major on the world of Google AdWords, and how to use it best to get your business featured on google in order to generate leads. Here are some of the best snippets: ** Remember the power of advertising on a search engine V advertising anywhere else. When someone types something in to google, they already want something. ** Google only charges you as the client when someone clicks the ad. ** Don’t forget Google Places For Business. You don’t need to pay for the right to appear on their map. ** Although the Google AdWords interface is user-friendly, you’re probably best using a professional for your campaigns in the first instance. ** Make sure any advert drives people to a focused page. A common mistake people make is to create a campaign ad for something specific that merely drives the traffic to a generic home page. ** Google prefers one page to be about one thing – always remember this. ** Track your activity! All of the tracking codes are there as part of the service – make sure you utilize them. The wider point is that managing AdWords is all about fine tuning. There is a big element of trial and error here, so it’s important you stay on top of what is working for you and what isn’t. Be ruthless with the campaigns that are struggling – don’t just wait around for them to come good. In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn: ** How to get results from an agency ** How to appear on the google map ** The “relevance + direct response” equation ** “Buying intent key words” ** The potential consequences of using landing page templates ** The importance of call tracking ** The “authority” of a site ** Cost per acquisition versus cost per click Resources mentioned in this episode: ** This week’s sponsors, Bartercard are offering an interest-free line of credit of 10,000 AUD with a bonus 500 AUD. Visit: bartercard.com.au/actioncoach for an exclusive offer for Business Brain Food listeners ** Greg’s article on “How to do keyword research with google’s keyword planner” (http://com.au/google/keyword-planner/) ** Greg’s site (http://www.collective.com.au) ** Greg’s new podcast (http://www.salesforprofit.com) ** Sponsor the show: ben@maxmyprofit.com.au, put in subject line “interested in sponsoring BBF” ** Ben’s Daily Business Tips podcast (http://www.dbtpodcast.com) ** Facebook (facebook.com/businessbrainfood) ** Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessbrainfood) ** Twitter (https://twitter.com/bfewtrell) ** ActionCOACH (http://actioncoachanz.com/itunes) ** ActionCOACH (http://actioncoachanz.com/stitcher) As Greg reminded us, the cliché goes “google knows more about you than your partner”, so make sure you take heed of his marketing advice and get up to speed with it!

We’re all trying to make money in our businesses, but do we really know how to handle the money? Joan Sotkin explains to us some of the emotional pitfalls related to the process of making money, and what you can do to avoid them. Joan is the author of the hugely popular book “Build Your Money Muscles” and hosts The Prosperity Show podcasts which is now over 200+ episodes old. We know firsthand just what an achievement that is! Joan is all about an holistic approach to business, having learnt from her own bankruptcy, and also from her inability to cope with financial success. She’s had a long and spiritual journey which began the day she asked herself “why do my brothers have what they want, and I don’t?” Read on for some of the spiritual nuggets that have helped Joan succeed in business and in life outside of it: ** Our emotions are our decisions. Emotions are our bridge from our internal world and the world around us. ** Meditation is a great tool to help find your own good judgment. ** The emotional habits that we learn through childhood can often hold us back. Don’t underestimate the quality of your heart-felt judgment. ** Money doesn’t take care of itself – you have to take care of it. The main message to understand is that any amount of money means something emotionally. Whether it’s high or low, more than enough or not enough, there is an emotional reaction to it. Once you understand what that emotional reaction means you can find ways to change it for the better, or keep repeating the good feeling. In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn: ** The emotion around money ** How shame can affect financial judgment ** How “touch” affects our everyday life ** “The identity factor” ** How to handle suddenly coming in to money ** The difference between feeling emotions and burying emotions Resources mentioned in this episode: ** This week’s sponsors, Bartercard are offering an interest-free line of credit of 10,000 AUD with a bonus 500 AUD.

We look at Restaurant Fitouts - is it worth spending all that money? We also look at some of the menu ideas that really work to draw customers in. We look at great customer service, great menu items and how Restaurants are using Bartercard to build their business. In Restaurant Autopsy we look at 2 mistakes that killed one of our favourite local Restaurants. Great food, great value and a great experience wasn't enough to save this Restaurant.
