Business Cookies for Idul Fitri


Maret 29, 2011

In business, we rightly know the rules, ethics, or the prevailing ethos in the business world.
Business I think is an activity that very cool, because businesses can develop a hobby and also a
very valuable experience in our lives.

I think that business can be classified in many kinds. For instance the apparel business, culinary
business, business vehicle showroom, business valuables, and many more other businesses that
are very fortunately for yourself.

My experience during the plunge in the world of small business during the coming month  of
Ramadan (ahead of Idul Fitri). When I was in junior high school, I saw a friend who is making a
cake, I thought “why me ‘ do not try”, and my own practice at home and work. Eid my ideas
come to sell cakes I have ever tried to make earlier. Consumer market share at that time I fantasy
mothers around my house. Any business ethics arise and should I use for consumers what I
believe, are interested in, and buy a cake that I make. Yes … very true in the past two weeks,
almost 4 dozen jars sold out. This small business was continued until the next Eid-widths.

But unlike this year’s “Lebaran” (10/9/10), the market share that had been addressed to my
mother and people around, changed drastically to zero sales. I also turn the brain, so I can bake
sales made in such behavior before Eid-widths. The idea had emerged that I had to find and
change the market share. Yes … even the office employees became my target. My sister and her
boyfriend became a liaison between me and my new customers (this is because my friends after
my brother and his girlfriend to buy a cake made by me). That business ethics must I go through,
by changing the appearance of the jar to be polite (in the office environment) and attractive in the
eyes of my new customers, which is certainly more to see the outside view. Because the taste of
mothers and employees is very different. Thank God I was able to sell cakes widths nearly 3 ½
dozen jars. Fortunately I can also very pretty (in my bag like this student.)

Say No To Drugs
Maret 29, 2011

The young generation today is very susceptible to drugs. Drug is short for NARCOTICS AND
DRUG / HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Drugs is a “vicious circle” which is very destructive.
Drugs in Indonesia, never mind no stranger. Users been indiscriminately. From elementary
school-aged children to old many people who use these illicit goods.

Recently, just a lot of public figures who get caught for illegal goods serve targeted. Call it Yoyo
“drummer Pady”, Iyut Bing Slamet, and most surprising is the great-grandson of former
Indonesian first president the late Suharto, who at once the daughter of businessman Ari Sigit
that is Putri who was caught in a hotel in the area of Jakarta.

Drug use is dangerous. Like the Depression (the user will be unconscious for a moment),
hallucinations (seeing things that are not there), stimulants (speed up the heart and brain organs,
if allowed to continue then the user will experience the disorder to result in death), and addictive
(users will be hooked and if left too long will result in over-dose).

We as young people should be very sensitive to the dangers of drugs. If the younger generation
now is addicted to drugs what will happen to younger generations the next 10-20 years. For that
we must think before we do something, so as not to caught up in the abyss of drugs.

The family is actively involved in efforts to save the young generation today. Because many
survey says that most drug users are children who lack attention from parents (broken home) and
from the people closest.

Let us as the future generation, must be spirit of combating drugs and live life without drugs. Say
No To Drugs.

14. 7 Tips for Maintaining Consumer

There are 2 things that can not be separated in operations, that is sellers and buyers to each
other interact. Whatever type of business that we run both in services and trade can not be
separated from the two earlier elements.
There is a saying that the consumer is king. Proverb that I think is still relevant to the present, or
even universal. The seller will not be able to sell if there were no consumers, consumer vice
versa will not be able to meet all keperluannya if there are no sellers.
I think the effort to maintain consumer is far more difficult than getting new customers. Every
business activity everyone will be competing to retain customers in ways to make the consumer
does not move to another customer. Treat the consumer as king over many perceived by
companies engaged in services. Let us look at how a bank, between banks and the one with the
other banks competing to provide services to its customers with the best. Start with the
entrance opened, saying good morning pa .. bu, a friendly face smiling officer until things offer
other assistance. Then we saw also how the company car dealership providing service, starting
with the entrance be opened with a friendly face of customer service, given various explanations
about a product that he sold, giving congratulations to diantarkannya back to the exit while the
consumer home. Such tricks of how they attempt to win the hearts of its customers to become
partners. If you want to survive, that is indeed demands.
I have the experience which might be of benefit to you how to retain customers. Look, I have a
small business run from home since early 2001 in the field of computer rental and services that
then I developed typing by adding new types of Internet cafe business, computer courses and
computer services. I am a small business scale is still alive until now because I apply the concept
of a trivial, "Giving Consumers Make the Best Service."
For those of you who have the same business as me or any business that you run the middle,
there is a simple way how to retain customers in order to always give money to us. Here are tips
for you:

1. Greet customers well. The point is, when consumers


come to our place, welcome with a smile, as far as possible
Selamet say morning or afternoon .. bu pa. The first point we have
get an impression of "friendly".

2. Ask what needs. We must pro-actively ask first


advance what the consumer needs by saying "there's nothing to me
help you? ".

3. Provide the best quality. Every product that we give must be the best.
Never we give to consumers from random. This
will create a bad impression for the customers of our products
selling.

4. Give a reasonable price. In the highly competitive price an


product or service is critical. To buy something
consumers usually choosy where a cheaper place. Give
them with a reasonable price but still accompanied by good quality,
basanya consumers will return again to our place.

5. Stay on Appointments. Strive every promise we give to consumers


to always keep. Never give a promise to our
consumers if we can not fulfill. Do not Avoid
until consumers back and forth to the place where we not only because it promises
we can Stay, time and money already because they waste our promises
inappropriate. Consumers will be disappointed and move to another place. Edge-
the loss of our own end, the consumer loses.

6. Create family. At the moment we are providing services,


do not tend to focus on the final sale only. I mean
during the process of service delivery took place, we should not be
monotonous. Involve them in a chat that light-light,
for example asking the residence or can also inquire about
their families. This is intended to create relationships.

7. Create a psychological bond. This can be done if we are able to


creating a familial bond with the consumer. To create
I do spiritual bond by giving speech on
monen certain moments, such as birthday, congratulations
holidays and so forth. Quite a way to send sms. These tips enough
powerful because consumers feel cared for. Well if the inner bond
has been formed is difficult for consumers to move to another place.

Seven tips that I did for the sake of keeping customers. This concept because I have always
maintained the principle that the customer is the lifeblood of my business. Very simple but the
result was good enough for a small business can survive until now despite the economic crisis
struck. Well how about you?; Probably have a better experience than from me, let's share
experiences.

As far as I encountered, the range of TOEFL scores - average Indonesian people with minimal
