face to face with the client



One of the days during my professional placement at 4thirteen media

http://4thirteenmedia.com/, we had a workshop with our client Eco Lifestyle Fitness http://www.ecolifefit.com/ where we were to present or to pitch how we are going to promote the fitness center using the social media, Eco Lifestyle Fitness is a newly established fitness center which is located at Leisure Business Park in Malaysia the other service they provide is to distribute cutting-edge fitness equipment and training to sports teams, gyms, personal trainers, and individuals.

First of all when you meet your client you have to look formally presentable as people believe that the physical appearance of a person tells what kind of person she or he is. So we were all looking good, the first thing that impressed our client. The pitching was all successful and our proposal was approved.

This workshop taught me that in today’s world for you to be successful and be able to beat others (your competitors) you have to come up with some unique strategies and tactics, something that the client is not expecting. And I also learned that nowadays the social media are used as a spot where the organizations, customers and other stakeholders meet.

The success of manufacture or production depends on who makes most appealing goods or provides appealing services to clients and who has the best distribution channels of these services and products.
Competition has emerged as a serious issue in today's market or industry,all companies,organizations and people need to be successful in what ever plan they come up with,the thing is whatever comes first in your mind is already in another man's mind to use as strategic plan to also make you weak,so you must think deep before you execute your plans,if you follow the likes of Khera communications (1998-2010),
http://www.morebusiness.com/combat-competition,they tell us more about the strategies for handling competitions and they have talked about things such as getting involved in your local community,developing a venture joint relationship and others as stated.
The other factor that i have realized that may work to help you deal with competition is communicating effectively with business owners and customers in your community.

One of the best ways to please clients is by going above and beyond what is expected every single time.
Even though you probably have a fairly defined list of deliverables, you can do more by putting in time to ensure quality, testing and re-testing, and essentially creating a final product that is even better than what the client expected. With that in hand you will also be able to beat your other competitors.
