CAN A COOKIE JAR BE THE ULTIMATE BUSINESS MODEL?

Given that a cookie jar usually has a variety of flavours and options, when looking at your business the cookie jar analogy is not that different.

To meet today’s client’s expectations, needs and preferences, multiple channels for service delivery has become increasingly common.

The cookie jar analogy can be seen in many industries and even on a community level – New York for example has facilitated this type of one stop shop model by allowing people to dial one single number 24 hours a day to speak to a customer service representative in over 180 languages about more than 7000 basics about New York itself.

When adding services to a business there is usually two ways to go –  if you have the time and resources, educate yourself or an in-house staff member to provide the new service or alternatively if you don’t have the time, outsource the service.  Finding the right referral partner is essential but the savvy business person realises that outsourcing aspects of your business that are essential but not feasible for you to deal with personally, can have a powerful impact on growth.

Whichever way you go, meeting your client’s expectations can make a strong influence on your company’s productivity and bottom line.
