Adult Life Training, Inc. was founded to holistically improve the lives of our community through training, mentorship, and example. One of the tricks for business success that I have taught in university business classes is the skill of re-inventing past successes.<\/p>\n
One example of this with which you are already familiar is the situation where video rental stores sales were declining because people dislike traveling to a store to rent video entertainment. The past success was learned through study of another industry, hospitality \/ food service. Pizza was a nondescript niche food many years past for the same reason – few people want to travel to a pizza store just to eat a pizza. However, when pizza stores began providing delivery services the world changed for pizza and it became a stable of American culture. Delivery not only changed the amount of pizza sales, it also increased the visibility and general popularity of pizza.<\/p>\n
Learning from the pizza case, the video entertainment industry learned to provide free home delivery of rented video, which today is manifest as NetFlix<\/a>, Amazon Prime<\/a>, on demand cable services, and others. It is being done even today by Microsoft<\/a>\u00a0in their Office 365 program\u00a0and by others who make their software available on the download \/ monthly rental basis where the provider handles all technical maintenance and the end user merely uses the software. This principal can be re-invented in general for any product: simply reduce the customer’s inconvenience in buying your product and more people will buy.<\/p>\n So when your business is not doing so well, think about what other businesses have done in the past and see how you can re-invent their past successes to excel at your own business.<\/p>\n That is your business tip of the day, from Adult Life Training, Inc.<\/p>\n And when you shop at Amazon.com<\/a>, remember to use our link: http:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/ch\/59-3782924.<\/a> It won’t cost you any more, but Amazon<\/a> will donate some tiny percentage of your purchase price to help Adult Life Training continue helping you and our community; when 1,000 people do this is starts to add up.
