Thank you once again Steve… I was aware of the importance of creating value and value ad ons..however…However I hadn’t realized that it was essential let alone OK to spend as long as necessary on this … That and the questions you suggested we ask help in clarification..

Thank you Steve for your advise re “Value” . We are not doing business on the internet yet but reason we maintain a good group of loyal users of our products is because we give more information and give value to our relationship building which builds their belief in what we have to offer. Adelina

Hey Steve,

I love this concept and it really works. It would be great if your videos could be embedded into a webpage so that I can share them with the visitors coming to my website. I looked to see if you had a YouTube Channel but I could not find one.

Thanks for all the great work and value you add!!

Hi Steve,

Great value-added content for your prospective customers/members. It does seem like a lot of work on your part, but I do believe it certainly pays off for you at some point. I appreciate this value-added concept as well. I once had an employer ask me why I worked so hard at my job. I explained that I try to live by the principle that we should do our best at whatever we are doing. Colossians 3:23, states it best: “Whatever you are doing, work at it whole-souled as to God, and not to men.” Can’t go wrong with that advice. While I have not yet committed to joining The Perfect Biz Finder program, I hope to do so soon. Please keep in mind that there are many reasons that prospective customers might seem to procrastinate about purchasing a product or joining a particular program. However, if those prospective customers continue to subscribe to your emails and/or videos, you can be fairly certain that they will eventually come through for you–provided they believe they are receiving something of real value. I happen to feel that you offer much value. Again, our motive should be to do what we can for others first, and the rest will follow, just as you have implied. Thanks for your efforts.-Kathy

Steve; I can understand the other poster’s comment of “taking the hit,” in the form of a customer who doesn’t want to pay. I was a business owner for 16 years and had people attempt to pay less than their full invoice. Always the question, “Do I make a future ‘non-customer’, or get the lawyer out, or take the hit?” Usually if a person flat out refused to pay their bill, it wasn’t worth getting an attorney to collect (sad but true, they usually end up costing more than the invoice, and the non-paying customer seems to know this…we even had an attorney tell us that this is the new way of doing business) so we ended up collecting less than the full amount of the invoice. Repeats weren’t a major percentage of our volume, (subcontracting specailty construction services) our reputation for quality and service drove our customer base, so we were more likely to let that invoice go and know never to do business with that person again should the situation so present itself. However, I liked your answer as to how “taking the hit,” reduced the integrity of everyone involved in the transaction, and even the community overall. Finding tactful ways to express this to a non-paying customer will be a helpful tool to elicit payment from some of these “customers.”

I appreciate your demonstration of “added value.” Your lesson has provided me with additional food for thought. I look forward to hearing everything else you have to tell us.

Some time ago, I did need to buy a building for my corporation but I didn't earn enough cash and could not purchase something. Thank goodness my mate adviced to get the loan from reliable creditors. Hence, I acted so and used to be happy with my small business loan.

This has been one of the best lessons. Here are some thoughts of mine: an employee should generate benefits to the company at least equivalent to his annual total compensation within the very first 3 months of the year… there after every thing s/he is doing, is creating value and not cost. Any company should generate from 5 to 10 times in value, the price their customer pay for their products and services. Nevertheless, my concern is how can we demostrante that a service is actualy generating vaule to the market/customer to assure that the market/customer decides to buy from you and not from the competition?

Many thanks Steve, I truly enjoy the way you expressed what you were saying. Let me add that I still feel that it has to be a value within each individual to succeed in their career or great for a business idea’s or am I looking at it the wrong way ? I had always given my assistance and idea’s away to other’s continually assisting just like what you are saying now only didn’t realise my selfworth Makes a big difference . Now I need to slowerly get back to what I was focused on to help many more ,
