See yourself through your customers` eyes.  In the vacation, my friends and I decided on a whim to see a movie. It was the last show of the evening, and, though we were  ten minutes late, we didn`t feel missing a few scenes would matter. The cashier refused to sell us tickets because he had       closed the cash drawer for the night. We asked him if it were possible to enter the money in the next day`s records. he said    no. After speaking to two more employees including the manager, we left without seeing the film. They couldn`t take our       money because the drawer was closed. Had the theater`s employees been trained to see situations through the eyes of the customers, we would not FOB Business Forum g2G.r7G8U1}+Z"M,B

If the theater employees had had any sense of ownership, they never would have turned down money. Which

Take the case of a manager for HSBC. He visited a local mall to buy fifty boxes of chocolates for his employees 0q3_,a6^3B7?1{+l#f

The manager explained to the salesperson that, as an HSBC employee, he couldn??t in good conscious give his forum.fobshanghai.com:X$c&~0W&e8L+G

Everyone makes a difference., "For a company??s advertising strategy to work, it has to be handled not only
