I could write you a thesis about why customer and client service should be one of your top concerns. Instead, I’m going to boil it down to one succinct line. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE = EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS. We all want to make money and have repeat customers. We want to live off referrals instead of sinking money into online ads and robust marketing systems.

But memory isn’t just a parlor trick, it's a strategic edge. Human memory is one of the most underrated business skills.

Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. This, of course, is an old proverb, but it applies to businesses who may be criticizing other companies’ cultures right now. Simply put, you shouldn’t condemn others who might have similar flaws to your own. After all, company cultures are tricky. They are living, breathing things — the byproduct of careful gardening and tedious attention to detail.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

The lockdown has been lifted for a few months now, and the country has, by-and-large, reopened for business. But while many of the country’s office workers might have the facility to work from home, the same isn’t true of everyone. Moreover, those that do work from home might need to occasionally pay a visit to the business’s premises, whether to collect paperwork, or for a face-to-face chat.

We’re expected to pay taxes, make payments, take out loans, review interest rates, and manage credit cards the moment we’re thrust out into the world after high school. It can be a heavy amount of information we are expected to learn once we hit the age of 18, considering our basic education does not cover the ins and outs of financial literacy today.

Big data is one of those buzzwords in the business community that everyone is racing to try and use to their advantage. The sad part is, not everyone even knows what it is, much less how to analyze it. Big data is a set of data that is either too large or complex for a normal data processing system to analyze. The old way that a data processing system would function is to analyze data and information in an organized spreadsheet, but with big data that is not possible.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of those terms that intimidates, confuses, and frustrates so many today. The acronym itself is strapped with misinformation and misunderstanding that convinces business owners and marketers it’s some kind of taboo, hard-to-understand digital marketing service better left to the professionals. The reality is that SEO is not complex, hard-to-understand, or impossible to tackle at all.

There are a host of reasons why a business may be failing: insufficient marketing tactics, a lackluster service, economic or social circumstances (such as COVID-19 ), or otherwise. Recovering a failing business is an art within itself. Course-correcting what’s gone wrong takes strong business acumen and experiencing. But beyond just recovery, growing a previously failing business takes true innovation and perspective.
