X-II000 Incorporated
The Business Edition
Welcome to the
new business edition to the X-II000 Incorporated Philosophies. Unlike its personal counterpart first
created twelve years ago, these are mostly one-sentenced philosophies. I am sure the statements within this page
will be extended to full pages like the personal philosophies.
I
really appreciate the feedback you all have been giving me and the e-mails
about new philosophies are finally being answered with pages like this
one. Read each philosophy and tell me
what you think. Keep signing the guestbook and spread the word about X-II000.
1.
Files should be immediately nearby and in alphabetical order (last
name-before-name of company format) starting from the left-hand side
(right-side for those whom are left-handed).
2.
Phone calls should be short and to the point. Do not over-elaborate any aspect of your
business. Salutation first, then your
name and the company of which you represent.
3.
Have enough information about newer formats, or various versions
of your formats, for your business to answer all of your customers’ (or
business partners’) questions. The key
to this is to assure them that they are in safe hands.
4.
Always give more “Bang for your buck”. People often use services from those whom are economical.
5.
Keep on top of your business.
If you use outside sources for your clients, make sure everything is
taken care of on their end.
6.
E-mail is a great addition to the corporate setting, but people
still don’t check their inbox as much as their voicemail. Its better to just stick with using the
phone.
7.
Phone tag is dead. Think
about it, Tag is a child’s game. Cell phones
are by far the best solution to get, or keep, business.
8.
The only solutions to keep corporation up-to-date with the rest of
the world is Physical Fitness.
Non-mandatory physical fitness is a great way to keep your workers until
full-retirement age.
9.
If your corporation isn’t large enough to hold its own gym, then
they should create a partnership with a near by health spa.
10.
Part-time workers should
have maternal/paternal leave and health benefits, as their full-time counterparts do.
11.
Keep up with the latest
technology. Know what programs helps
you work better, and most important, you should be able to know how to use
these programs.
12.
It’s never too late to
develop a good memory. Always remember
as many aspects of your business day as possible. Don’t be that person that forgot whom he/she gave a file to an
assistant and looked up and down for it…even though it’s right in front of
his/her face.
13.
Employers should be the
first ones in and the last ones to leave.
14. Employees should be “renaissance
workers”. If someone only knows how to
do one thing (ie. Type) their job would
be on the line at times of mergers or acquisitions. A person that “knows people” is the only exceptions to the rule.
15.
“Learn-as-you-go” the
more you know, the more they need you.
This is by the best way to get a raise, promotion, or even more medical
benefits.
