Can You Follow Instructions

Are you the kind of person that is able to follow directions? If you are then you can and most likely will be hired by an employer looking for someone just like you. No I am not being sarcastic or anything of the sort. I am merely saying that some companies find it hard to find an employee that is able to follow directions. What does that mean for you? That means that if you can truly answer the first question truthfully then that is the start of a potential career in the workforce.

Depending on the employer you can find a job that is looking for people who they simply want to follow directions. No matter what industry you are looking to get involved in, these companies want someone that they can train and then do the job they train you to do. Is this you? Now there are many people who say that they are capable of following directions, but then when the task is placed in front of them, it does not seem to work out for the best.

You will need to do some self reflection when it comes time to prove to your potential manager if you can follow instructions. They will challenge you quickly and put your thought to the test. If you are not able to follow instructions, they will quick...

    You will need to do some self reflection when it comes time to prove to your potential manager if you can follow instructions. They will challenge you quickly and put your thought to the test. If you are not able to follow instructions, they will quickly find out. How quickly you might ask? They can look at your application and see if you were not able to put your name and other pertinent information in the correct spaces. That may sound dumb to you but that is how some employers begin the weeding out process. As soon as you begin to inquire about jobs, put your best foot forward. Follow directions from the beginning and you have the beginnings of a great career in front of you.

  • The Customer is Your Friend
    By joel on March 9, 2012 | No Comments  Comments

    When you pick up the phone do you answer the phone differently if you know the person on the other end of the call well? If you don’t know the person well on the other end of the call how do you treat them? These are questions that many companies who do most of their dealing with customers over the phone. They have been trying to figure out for years how to go about talking to strangers the way they would talk to their friends. Unfortunately that is not going to happen. In fact some companies feel that it is very difficult to a bad idea to treat the customers like they would their everyday friend.

    Why wouldn’t you want to treat the customer like they are your friend? Think about how you talk to the person that you have known for a long time. You guys can share a laugh together or you can confide something in them that you do not want a bunch of people to know. You want to help them if they are in a bad situation or extend you help even if they do not need it. Why can’t you treat a customer that same way? Is it hard to share a laugh with the customer? Doesn’t the customer want to you to help them figure out their situation and come to some conclusion? Of course these things are true. What you need to realize is that you just have to have some layer of professionalism when you are speaking to customers of a business.

    The question you need to ask yourself is why don’t you want to treat this person you haven’t met before with anything but a friendly and nice demeanor. For the most part people just do not want to get in to a long conversation with someone they do not know. They do not want to invest so much time in the personal life of someone they will never meet again. This is the part in which you need to know why you are working at the job you are working. You have to decide that you are here to do a great job and you can not let that get in the way of you taking care of the customer. You might be required to learn as much as you can in order to help them.

    Quality service is something that many companies aspire to have and they feel that great service is what will separate them from their competition. If this is the case then every person that works in that organization that handles customers needs to decide how helpful they will be. If they are not choosing to be as helpful as you need them to be, then maybe they need to find another position within the company. You hired them for a reason, but maybe you just found out that they can not make friends on the phone.

    What many employees don’t realize is that the people that they claim are their friends are the people that will most likely trust any recommendation they have. It would make sense to me that you would want to make a friend with someone on the phone because they will give you all the information you need in order for them to purchase your product. It  just makes sense to treat the person on the other end of the phone call with total respect and friendliness.

  • Checking Up on Your Employees
    By joel on February 24, 2012 | No Comments  Comments
    It sometimes boggles the mind to think that there are some companies that do not have a way to check to see if their employees are doing their jobs. There are employers that seem to think that if no one is complaining about the service that is being done than everyone is happy. That can not be further from naïve behavior. If you as a company do not care about what your employees are doing for your company then go for it. If you are completely satisfied with the work they are doing and are not looking to gain in profit from year to year, then keep doing what you are doing and you can stop reading. If you want to increase your performance year over year, keep reading.
    No matter if you have ten employees or over one thousand employees, you want to make sure that you have some sort of program in place that will allow you check on what they are doing. You can find out quickly if you have employees that are not performing up to the standards of what your company has deemed as correct. You never want to wait and just put all of your faith in the idea your employees will not make mistakes or become complacent. After doing the same thing over and over again in their job, employees might find a way to short cut what their job is and end up not doing what is expected.
    Many companies do not want to invest a large amount of money into trying to find that program that will make sure their employees are doing their job. Some companies try to find an internal program trying to hire people from within who know the ins and out of the company. Other companies seek the companies that can do quality assurance checks from outside the company. The companies that see help from outside of their four walls are looking for impartial help for their company. They do not want to have anyone changing scores in order to make it look like everything is doing well.
    You can do whatever you desire as a company. The thing you just have to do is make sure that you do something to ensure your employees are doing their job. You do not want to be hovering over them like a hawk, but you do want to ensure they are doing what you are asking. There are various programs and tips out there, but it really depends on the type of work you do in which program works for you. In the self storage industry, you can have people walk in to the local stores, call them on the phone, or even email them to see how they interact with the customer. If all goes well then you can grade them with a high mark. If everything does not go great according to your specifications, then you can make the necessary adjustments.
    Make sure that you check up on your employees from time to time. It does not have to be everyday, but it does have to be more active than once a year. There are many recommendations out there and you don’t have to listen to them all. Just choose a program that will fit you and your company. Remember, your employees want to grow as well. Give them the tools they need to get better and your company will reach new heights.
