Our colleague is making us crazy! (Part 1 of 2)

 

Anna works in customer service in its organization. Customer service reps not individual offices and in an open space. This allows them to cooperate in order to better support customers. The group consists of five customer service personnel, all of which have been with the company five years almost everyone uses headphones on their conversations, he keeps quiet in their workplace and change answer incoming customer service calls (which are directed to open telephone lines.) However, one of the five customer service reps, Janet, who has one year tenure with the group, has been a consistent problem. This is the story of Anne, (which is similar to the history of other people in the Group):

When Janet from the group she was with the orientation about how to group work. Include processes and procedures, rules of conduct in the workplace and as support and interact with each other. She had two weeks training, which included information from the shadows of others.

The group is closeknit and supports each other. Sometimes someone has to be from their desk with limited communication and others to pick up the slack. Coordinate lunches and other divisions. They restrict personal calls to break or lunch, so incoming calls are fairly distributed. They are sensitive to the fact that they are in close quarters and make efforts to reduce noise in the workplace by not playing a Radio too loud or too loud to talk with co-workers.

Janet, however, is a different story. It is often the personal interview. On one day in particular, spent nearly two hours talking with friends about the plans for the coming weekend. On that day another co-worker badly and that left three others to handle all incoming calls from Janet in the line was tied during this period of time. She has a break and goes to lunch without regard to others and often returns late. When colleagues asked for her help, she even refused to grant them.

Group finds it upsetting and you don't want to confront her because they are afraid that it will get worse. There was only one time, when he asked a co-worker, that Janet what was up and why not she will help others if necessary. Janet is the answer was that she was not interested in "is a member of the band" and "wanted to be left alone."

Anna, speaking on behalf of the other, walked to their immediate supervisor, Samuel, for help. Samuel told her that the groups you should try to work it out among themselves, felt that if he got involved, it seems that they complained and it may worsen the situation. However, the Group felt that the responsibility of the Manager to correct the situation.

Left, Anna, Samuel considers his options. I've never had to deal with such a problem before. He was working with the group for a while now and were getting along. His boss, in fact, has always been commenting in the meetings of the supervisory team that Samuel was one of the best teams in the region-it worked smoothly and consistently got high marks from customers.

Question: what would you do if you were Samuel?

Stay tuned for part II, where we learn what Samuel took to resolve the situation.

No formal leader? Step!

 By Gina Abudi, on January 28, 2014

I was talking with a friend recently who complained that she had been his mistress for a team that had no formal leader identified. Vice President, who pulled the team did so based on the skills and experience of the members of the band have, but do not link team leader. He asked them to work together to come to a solution to the problem within the framework of the organization.

A friend of mine complaint was that without team leader in place seemed a bit disjointed overall. We all ran in different directions and, although there seemed to be some great ideas (mainly shared by several members of the team), no one seemed to be pulling out all the ideas together to decide how to go forward with the plan. In addition, team meetings are a mess! Members or do not appear at all, appeared at the end, or whether other work during the meeting. Nothing was accomplished!

A friend of mine is a natural leader. She often stepping up to leadership role in many initiatives, in which he served, so I was surprised to hear her complaint. I asked her why she didn't just step into the lead role, to get the team moving forward. She mentioned that she asked Vice President for team leader and told her that he felt that the teams are better when the leader was assigned, but rather the band worked it between themselves. His experience was that a team leader tried to control too much, and inhibits the team overall.

Therefore, my friend felt that it wouldn't make sense to step up the role of leader, since there was no desire for Vice President. She's wrong. Not to say that she could not take on a leadership role, I just replied to its request that he attributed to the leader of the team that did not want to do.

The most important, "said my friend, to reach out to others and ask if the meeting can take place to the front of the project. Provide a number of options for the date and time to meet and provide a provisional agenda. Ask other members of the team to add to the agenda. Focus daily on this meeting as follows:

An explanation of the problem to solve (basically to ensure everyone understands the problem in the same way.)Brainstorming and ideas to solve the problem.Narrowing of the ideas to a handful of viable options.Compilation of smaller sub-teams forward and assess possibilities for further.

The second meeting will be held then to sub-teams report on their progress.

As a best practice, you should not fear to step into a leadership role, when you work on a team, which is not a formal leader. Someone has to step up! You can perform a "soft" approach as suggested above. No dictates in this situation, rather you are putting forward suggests an approach to move forward and asks for input. If others have input, they will provide.

The Need to Build Relationships: A Mini Case Study – Part II

Read Part I for background information.

You need to change everyone’s perception of you. What are you going to do?
In order to move forward in this particular situation, consider apologizing to colleagues for “plowing ahead” with your ideas and suggestions. You might note that you are excited about the potential and simply got carried away and that you would like to step back and start again.

When joining an organization, make the time to get to know others and the organization before proposing ideas and suggestions on projects and initiatives. Building relationships is absolutely essential to get support and buy-in for initiatives you want to launch. You don’t want to join a new organization and immediately give others the impression that you know the best way of doing everything (as if the organization has been doing it wrong for years.) While there likely are better ways of getting work done, you need to understand how and why things work as they do, understand the culture, and build relationships to get support to make changes. Even if you are brought in to make changes, take the time to understand things first.

Build relationships through:

Asking colleagues to go to lunch or have coffeeHaving lunch in the cafeteria or break room where you can socialize with othersAsk to attend department meetings of colleagues where you can learn about their successes and the challenges they face and understand their goals and objectives (this enables you to align potential projects or initiatives to how they may help a colleague address a challenge or achieve a goal.)

Krótkie wskazówki dotyczące skutecznego stronie

People think that for enhancing a website, you need to change the entire structure of the site, which is not true. This may be fruitful in certain cases, but not so in the case of all websites. Just by making a few minor changes, you can enhance the look and feel of your site.

Follow these steps and improve the overall structure and visibility of your site

Have a short a menu

One of the things that you must do to make your site attractive is to make it neat and simple. It is best if you do not add a lot of items under a single menu. If you are consolidating the data into a single tab, the user who visits your site can easily navigate through it. They do not have to keep searching or press the back button to go back to the page they were looking for. This will definitely increase the visibility of your site and lure in a lot of visitors.

Use call-to-action plan on every single page

Add interesting content on your site and keep the user busy and engaged. You can try this by adding videos, interesting forums, demos and any other thing of your choice. In addition to this, you can create some interesting menus and request the user to buy products from your site. The main idea of using call-to-action button is to engage the user and make him/her take necessary action without just leaving the page.

Provide contact information on the front page

Your address for communication, phone number, email address and other details should be provided on the front page. This is one of the important things that you must not forget. Most of the sites provide this information on hidden links or other pages, which is not a good idea. A majority of the users visiting your site will look only for your address and contact information. If you are putting it in the front page, make sure that you place it on the top-right corner of the page. You can also provide your contact details on the footer of the page. Be it a header or a footer, your contact information must be provided on the front page.

About Us column/page is a must

If a person is visiting your site for starting a business, he/she will be interested in knowing about you. They will be keen on knowing who they are doing business with so it is important that you provide every detail about your company. You can include history, services/products provided, years of experience, strengths and other such details. Apart from this, you can also share with your viewers things about your family, hobbies and other relevant personal details. By doing so, you can create a bond with them just like an ordinary human being.

Images speak everything than mere words

If you really want to attract users to your page, try adding bold and big images. This will give the user a clear idea about the nature of your work and will also help him/her save time. By using images, you can create a lasting impression in the minds of the users. To make things interesting, you can add images of your team, recently done projects, etc. In addition to images, you must also add written content as it is also important.

It is important to add directions widget

When creating your page, make sure you add directions widget as they will help customers know where you are placed. Just by giving your address, customers can find the exact route highlighted by Google. This will create a good impression on the minds of the users and they will come to know that you really care about them.

Your site must be mobile and smart phone friendly

The site that you design must be smart phone and mobile friendly. This is the only point that site owners often forget to implement. Almost all the people access the internet via mobile and smart phones. If your site is not compatible with that of the mobile phone then the user will find it difficult to view your site. The screen maybe large and the user may not be able to view the entire content on the phone. There are many tools available through which you can make your site compatible with mobile phones and smart phones. If you are unable to do it, you can always seek the help of designers to make your site mobile phone friendly.

Set the brand of your company

The color and logo of your company that you provide on the site must match with the one that you are currently using. Through this way, you can not only create brand awareness, but also help customers recognize you.

Make use of the social media network

Almost all the people are active on social networking sites. If your company does not have a social networking page, then you are sure to miss out a large customer base. Further, social networking sites play a vital role in page ranking and so it is a must that you have a social networking page. You can create a page for your company in Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, etc.

Include testimonials and engage your customers in your site

Including customer testimonials is a must as it is one of the best ways to lure in more customers. When a person reads positive things about your company, he/she will definitely have a good impression on your company. By doing so, you can boost the status of your company and share with people various details such as working experience, technical detail, etc. Everything should be planned and pre-written for the approval of the customer.

Search and highlight your main objective

If you want to publicize your site, you must know what your goal is and what you have to do to achieve it. Once you realize this fact, you can start adding, modifying, changing designs and do much more to enhance the look and feel of your site. Your main objective must be to achieve the goal and you must make sure that your team knows it too.

Start from scratch

If your site is very old and contains only boring information, you must change it right away. Even though it may involve a lot of hard work, you must try your level best to make it new by using advanced technology. Instead of making changes to the existing site, you can bring in professional help and create a new and interesting site right from scratch.

Do not forget industry references

If you want to attract global audience and set foot in the challenging market, then you must take all the necessary steps. Industry references are a must when it comes to enhancing the visibility of your site. This could be in the form of reports, surveys, links, etc. By doing so, customers will understand that you have a clear idea about what is happening in the market and that you are well-aware about your products/services.

Before you publish your new site, you must also take the necessary steps to increase the visibility of your site and also make your site user-friendly.

Make a note of the mistakes that you might do and the ways through which you can correct them.

Do not make your site page very heavy

Adding too many animations and widgets will make your site look good, but at the same time it will take a lot of time to load. If you add a lot of animations, it will outrun the content and all that a user can see in your site will be just animations. The content is also very important and you must ensure that the content that you put on your site is a very informative and interesting one. If there is plenty of space on the screen, then you can add anything you want to.

Easy navigation is a must

Navigation plays a vital role in attracting customers to your site. So you must have this in mind when designing your site and you must provide easy navigation for the convenience of the customers. If those who visit your site cannot find their way around, then they will not be interested in staying on your site. Always keep it simple and provide easy navigation for the convenience of customers.

Avoid grammar and spelling mistakes

Spelling and grammar errors must be avoided at any cost as they will create a bad impression in the minds of the users. You will lack your credibility and also lose customers, which is something very bad. Even a small typing error will create a problem and will make the visitors go away from your site.

Appropriate use of white space

Using white space is something that you must not forget when designing a site. You can use the white space to add icons, social media buttons and other action buttons to make it interesting for the visitors. Your main concern must be the content of the site and then the design. If these two balance each other, then customers will start visiting your site in no time.

SEO is a must

Search engine optimization is something that you must not ignore as it plays a vital role in boosting your online presence. By using the appropriate keywords, you can not only increase your page rankings, but also increase traffic to your site. Further, your site will appear in top among all search engine results. By using the right SEO strategy, you can increase and improve your business.

Our colleague is making us crazy (part 2 of 2)

 

In part I of the mini case study, we learned about this situation with Janet and Anne's request, on behalf of the team, that the Inspector, Samuel, to intervene. When we left the story, Samuel was considering how it would like to approach the situation.

Samuel reached out to a few of her peers to help him in the mean by the best approach with Janet. He admits that probably applies to the situation much earlier, but he was hoping that Janet would like to "settle in" and the group will work with each other.

His peers advice:

Samuel should deal with the situation quickly as it is already going on for too long and may appear to Janet that behavior is accepted.Discussions should focus on how to behave in a group and the processes, procedures and "ways of working" in General, which must be respected by all in the group.The Action Plan should be created to provide a list of actions that will be taken, the responsibility for taking action and timeline to do it.What happens if the changes do not appear, it should be clearly stated in the action plan (part of the).

Samuel did some homework of his own and learned:

Janet was not pulling its weight in the response to the client calls-much less talking to her than to others in your workgroup, because her phone was often busy.Of the seven complaints that had come over the last year, four of them were assigned to Janet.

Samuel scheduled a meeting the next day with Janet. He started the conversation with the statement that her colleagues felt like she was part of the team and found out that I do not want to be part of the team. He was also about her lack of performance and problems that she had with clients during the interview. He noted that and expected that Janet would be friends with her colleagues, she must learn to work with them and share the workload.  He also had a particular concern if you were Janet or problems that prevented her from working in the processes and procedures that were in the group. Janet had to share, but please note that it does not have to work under such conditions before. She was a bit overwhelmed by the group.

Time Samuel and Janet worked on an action plan that contains the following information:

To reach out to colleagues to establish better working relations with each of them.

Samuel will "make way" here by reaching out to others in the group to let them know that Janet will be reaching out to get more involved in support groups and efforts of her colleagues by knowing and allowing them to get to know her.

Janet will establish one meetings with colleagues to better understand them and so that they can get to know her.

Within 2 weeks, initially reach all associates.

Working with colleagues to coordinate:
Lunch, breaks and other times from your desk

Attend a 15-minute meeting in the morning, when the group is coordinated by the day.

Limitation of personal connections to periods of breaks/lunch and be susceptible to noise so as not to disturb co-workers.

To participate in the seminar online customer to reduce complaints.

Time during the day, coordinating with colleagues to be "disabled" phones. "

Additional conversation between Janet and Samuel led Samuel believe that Janet was the desire and motivation to improve the situation. Samuel left the meeting feeling confident that progress will be made. He also realized that some problem was on the shoulders of not dealing with the situation much earlier. Part of his will at least spending it onboarding day with each new employee, to make sure that they understand that the culture of the Group and to help them to fit in the group.

Make Sure a Link Builder is in Your SEO Starting Line-Up

The Internet provides the perfect stage for businesses to communicate and connect with current and potential customers and clients. This is solidified by continuous advancements in technology, market trends, and consumer behavior. As a result of this heavy shift towards online advertising and marketing, search engine optimization has become undeniably important and necessary.

Not only is SEO a critical component of any well-rounded online marketing strategy, but it is far from static. In other words, SEO practices that were once considered optimal are no longer relevant. In some cases, these “old” tactics can actually do more harm than good, which is why it is imperative that you stay current with SEO trends and updates.

These days, one of the most important and powerful SEO tools at your disposal is link building. Keep in mind, however, that how you build these links matters much more than whether or not you even do it. The delivery method can make or break your search engine results rankings.

Link building is not a new SEO technique, but the way in which it is performed has changed significantly over time. Ultimately, the goal of link building is to obtain back links to your site from various online sources – directories, websites, blogs, social media platforms, etc. In the beginning, getting these back links was relatively easy, but times have changed. Google no longer cares about how many live links point back to your site. They care about the quality of those links, the quality of the web location, and the relationship between the two.

The fact that Google has become more regulatory of links on the Internet is actually good for businesses because it weeds out the spammers. Granted, link building is the type of SEO activity that requires a lot of attention and patience, but when done properly, the results are certainly worthwhile.

Just as with any other advertising method, link building cannot be mastered over night. It requires a significant amount of research, planning, and – a designated “link builder”. Due to the attention that link building requires, it is in your best interest to designate the responsibility to one, if not more, specific individuals, depending on the size of your business. Developing a successful link building strategy should consider the importance of each of the following factors:

Blog – An onsite or off site blog is basically an essential component of any business domain. It provides a platform for new and reader-friendly content, which is what Google likes to see.Images – The pictures, images, and videos that you post online can add some serious power to your SEO strength. Quality, relevance, tagging, embedding, and descriptions should be utilized.Guest Posting – The key to a successful guest posting campaign is to identify quality websites and blogs that pertain to your niche, and provide them with quality content in order to obtain a backlink to your site.Content – Google continues to emphasize the importance of content in order to be successful with your SEO strategy. This means you must publish quality content on your own site and on others on a regular basis.

Problems with the Team Leader: A Mini Case Study – Part II

Read Part I for background information.

What should the project sponsor do to fix the issues the team is having with the team leader?

The project sponsor needs to intervene quickly to change this situation. First, prior to a meeting, he may want to review the background of the team leader. How much experience does she have leading teams? If she has led other teams within the organization, have they been successful? What feedback has been given about her performance on the team? This will provide him with information about the team leader to help in guiding her to corrective actions that must be taken within a specified (agreed to) timeline. The challenge may be that many on the team no longer want to work with her and some are afraid of her. There may be a case to be made to replace the team lead; but I have a personal preference to try to correct the situation. It will have to be very carefully monitored! The last thing that needs to happen is to have retribution for the team speaking up. The sponsor will need to monitor progress toward correcting the situation and frequently “check in” with the team members to see how it is going. It may be of value to provide a coach that works alongside the team leader to guide her as she works to change her interactions with the team.

In the ideal situation, the following will happen on the team when all is working well:

Sharing leadership on the team (e.g., allowing others to lead meetings or problem solving sessions)Encouraging participation in resolving issues and addressing conflicts on the team, following collaboratively-developed processesCommunicating frequently, openly and honestly with the team, sharing information about the projectEnabling for opportunities for the team to socialize and team build, which will enable for a much stronger and committed teamTaking time to understand the expertise and skills of each member of the team to ensure the team members have the right roles and responsibilities and are able to take on assignments that enable for learning opportunities Logging In...

Support Employee Networking

Enabling for time for employees to network and socialize with each other during the work week encourages and promotes:

Sharing of knowledge and best practicesTransfer of skillsInnovative ideas and creativity in problem solvingLess conflict among employees due to stronger relationships and more open communications

Enabling for networking time does not have to take away from getting the work done! Rather, organizations will find the work gets done better when employees have stronger relationships with each other and rely on each other to support work efforts.

Consider these simple ways to support employee networking time:

Provide free coffee during “coffee hours” throughout the morning and afternoon for employees to gatherHost brown bag lunches for small groups of employees each week with a particular topic on the agenda for discussion (such as an org problem to be solved)Provide pizza and salad lunches a few times a month to encourage employees to gather and chatSet up an internal site (portal) where employees can “talk” with each other and share information, ask questions, get support on projects, solve problems, etc.Provide a comfortable break room or café area with chairs, tables and sofas for employees to relax and catch up with each other

These are just a few ways to encourage and promote employee networking within the organization. None of these methods costs significant money and they all help to create a comfortable environment for employees to spend time getting to know each other.

Hummingbird Update : Understand The Impact On Your Content

In September 2013, Google announced a new algorithm update for its search engine, with the aim of bringing more effective information to its users. The new Hummingbird update is the latest step Google has employed in its bid to become the one-stop destination for all information on the internet. The update is an indicator that the company is making ever-increasing moves to become the most important information source in the lives of all online users. But what effect will the Hummingbird update have on web marketers?

Content needs to be richer and more informative

The new update will affect the type of content website owners use in order to improve their search engine optimization. Content will now have to be much deeper, and contain more relevant information than ever before, in order to rank highly on Google’s PageRank. Websites will need to produce content that directly answers the questions of web users, rather than merely responding to specific keywords and phrases. In-depth, high quality information embedded within a website will now increase that site’s chance of ranking highly after the new Hummingbird update. In addition, websites need to maintain a well designed website, which will improve the chance of Google’s spiders finding that content, and placing it higher in its search rank.

Context matters

With the latest Hummingbird algorithm update, context matters more than ever before. Previously Google took a guess as to which sites would best match the queries of its users. Now, websites will rank highly if they correspond to a query based on a particular location, or other local factors. For instance, a website which has healthy inbound traffic based on a key-phrase such as “best photography equipment for students”, will now rank lower than a website which relies on phrasing such as “best photography equipment in New York for students”. Google is becoming more location-specific, and the new updates recognizes context, as uses graph data to better understand more complex search queries.

Authorship is becoming more important

An important change in Google’s algorithm is the rise of ownership, and in particular the ownership of a website or blog. Make sure you create and update profiles, and all written content is attributed to an author. This ties in with Google Plus, and pages that are attributed to Google Plus accounts are much more likely to rank high on PageRank. One reason for this is that attributed content with a validated Google Plus page is less likely to feature content with spam, and therefore Google is making strides to only feature this type of content on the first page of results of any search query.

Adapt your written content

When you write content, try not to just use one phrase or term, and instead use variations of that word, or synonyms. The new Hummingbird update will focus on the overall meaning of any online content, rather than relying on a specific keyword of phrase. Google can now show search results based on its understanding of what the user is looking for rather, than the keyword or phrase that was in-putted into the search box. Let’s use an example. If a web user was looking for a chess event in Boston, but didn’t include the keyword “event” in their search, Google will understand exactly what the searcher is looking for and will display these amongst its search results. Structured data is more important than ever after this latest update, and website owners are encouraged to make use of this. There are different type of structured data, including books, reviews, songs, videos, and more.

The future of Google’s algorithm data 

Experts predict that Google has a number of other changes up its sleeve which affect its algorithm rankings. Therefore, it is imperative that web marketers take notice of these new changes and update or adapt their websites or blogs accordingly. The changes could have a detrimental effect on those who have always relied on a healthy ranking on Google. The new update will cover around 90% of all search queries around the world, meaning that it will have a profound effect on those who rely on search engine optimization to increase online traffic and boost business. Content producers will have to make sure that all written content is as informative as possible, as well as featuring keywords and phrases which are well within context.

The Exact Steps To Rank In Google Page 1 Post Panda, Penguin Right Here

Caution: This post reveals some techniques used by marketers which may be somewhat controversial or even considered grey hat. Therefore use the information wisely and with care and discretion. The techniques mentioned could harm you more than it can help you if you are new to SEO. They are to be used only if you know what you are doing and are aware of the risks you are taking including Google penalty.

Would you like to learn how to rank on Google page 1 quickly, easily and affordably?  After reading this post I suspect many people will find this method rather refreshing. Even unbelievable. Why? Well from what I have been reading many people now believe ranking in Google post Panda and Penguin is almost impossible. SEO is dead they say. The truth is it’s not… well at least judging from this method alone which I am revealing to you in this post.

I have shared this method with many folks who attended my regular Google Adsense workshop I conducted recently …just so as to put things into perspective after Panda and Penguin days.

 

The Method:

This is a test site used by the owner but in essence it emphasizes the need to have well optimized onsite SEO done on any website that you want to rank high in Google. When I say “high” I mean Google Page 1, positions 1-5. Here is the best proof that I can show you it works!

Take a look at this site that has keyword of (exact)14,800 searches Global and 8,100 US:

http://bleachepisodeguide.net/

Keyword: bleach episode guide

bleach episode guide- Low 14,800  8,100

position in Google : 5th

site reached page 1 in 48 hours (new domain)

It is now ranking 5th position on Google and the interesting thing is that this site has no content except a single sentence “This site is currently under maintenance you can get more bleach info here”. Also that site has not many backlinks. Majestic site shows it has only 60 external backlinks.

I know from the owner that he buys high PR backlinks at least once a month to keep sites like this ranking high besides doing his usual daily backlinking using his SEO tools. That is something which I have been doing too for a few of my niche sites.

So this proves that you don’t need any real content to rank well in Google. So if any so called gurus out there tell you you must have good original content with x number of words to be able to rank in Google, you now know he doesn’t know what he is talking about. Having said that you should put good content but only to convert your traffic into sales or for whatever purpose your website was set up for.  That one sentence has a link to wikipedia so it gains Google trust. It has h1 tag in “bleach episode guide” and Taylor Swift image has alt-text as the keyword as well as the file name of the image.

So in summary:

1. Ensure you have good onsite SEO done on your website.

2. Buy high PR backlinks and have them point to your money site. The owner has his own resources of getting these powerful backlinks but you can easily find them in Fiverr. (if you need help on where to get them just contact me and I will give you the fiver vendor that I used)

3. Do daily backlinking using a simple backlinking tool. I used Sweet Submitter to do this quite effectively.

4. Although this works, I have to mention that it works only if the keyword you are trying to rank is not highly competitive. So obviously it won’t work for competitive keywords like Internet Marketing, Work at Home, Internet Marketing Blog etc.
