The Way of the Dinosaur

“Unless you want your business to go the way

of the dinosaur, it’s time to evolve or die.”

Robin Crow American Author, Recording Artist,

Public Speaker

As I see it . . . . . . .

The way of the dinosaur

The business model that is slow to adjust . . . . or fail to adjust will find themselves on thin ice with a diminished market share . . . . and eventually going out of business.

Business should be in a constant state of renewal to remain relevance in the changing business environment. A business will need to remain on the leading edge to keep up with consumers demands.

One of the ways a business can remain relevance is in the quality of their customer service. Sad to say we all see really bad examples of customer service every day. The business that delivers exceptional service will carve out a niche in the market place . . . . and will build a loyal customer base of raving fans.

A business that doesn’t adjust to evolve to meet the customers’ demands . . . . will go the way of the dinosaur.

Customer service is so important. I have stopped using some companies due to poor customer service.

Good morning Lou Ludwig ,

You are spot on with this post. Every business is finding themselves in the throws of change. With the technology advances every day going on business owners must take heed to ramp up to a different level of consumer oriented service. Consumers are in to immediate gratification and want answers with service initiated and completed in the fastest time.

Good morning, Lou -- it's not just business that is constantly changing but life that is always evolving. We must adapt and be aware of what is most important to remain relevant.

Fourteen years ago I got my first thermal camera, where nobody else was doing it. To this day very few inspectors have them. It is the sharpest arrow in my quiver.

When real estate moved into the digital and electronic age many of us thought we dinosaurs couldn't keep up. You either keep up or are outof the business.
