Have you wondered what former business prognosticators predicted? Did they come true? Did you plan ahead and take advantage of the changes, or were you left behind? Today we speak about a 1997 business prediction about interacting you business in the world. Did you take advantage of them, or are you behind the times in your small or midsized business? This is Part 1. In Part 2 we will discuss the predictions for 2016 and how they may affect you. In addition Rick will tell the story of visiting a psychic at age 9 with his dad, and the lessons he learned.
- How are you interacting with your employees? Are you paperless, virtual, and communicative?
- How are you interacting with your customers? Do you use the internet for orders and follow-up?
- How are you interacting with your prospects? Are you using social media, or just rely on word of mouth?
- Are you taking advantage of the latest technology for production and service providing?
- Are you considering going global with the new communications and interactions?
Moral: You don’t need a Crystal Ball to be one step ahead of your competition. Just awareness.
