Best Buy sells almost as many iPhones as Apple store, AT&T and Verizon sell way more than both
A survey of iPhone shoppers from December last year through February, reveals that 13% had bought their iPhones from Best Buy, while 15% had purchased theirs directly from Apple. Of course, carriers brought in the lion's share of sales; AT&T sold to 32% of those surveyed, Verizon claimed 30%, and Sprint a less-than-impressive 7%. The survey, conducted by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, also showed that online stores only accounted for 24% of sales, with regular brick-and-mortar establishments taking up the remaining 76%.

faithtuppers - Customer Service Pitfalls Part 3
Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 by Steve Myers in Customer Service
The Official Merchant Services Blog?finishes its titanic trilogy on the affect?Customer Service?can have on a business. In our first blog we discussed anecdotal evidence and how it pertains to the perception of service and what can be learned from those anecdotes. In our second blog we took at look at the numbers, examining charts of data to determine a measured impact that customer service has on a business. The combination of strong anecdotal evidence and detailed charts demonstrated how integral quality customer service can be to a business? financial success. Today we?re going to delve into the tips that get offered regarding inferior customer service ? both tips on how customers can deal with customer service they find lacking and tips on how businesses can improve customer service that their customers find lacking.
I got onto this topic recently because of an online discussion that suggested that customers weren?t worth the effort of listening to their complaints. That discussion was sparked from??The story of Jennifer Hepler found on The Mary Sue. It brought up the concept of gamer entitlement and video game customers going too far in their negative complaints to video game developers.?Added to that was this Forbes article about?The Myth of Gamer Entitlement. This really created a framework where customer complaints were presented as too much hassle for game companies to listen to. So the game companies would place customer service extremely low on their priority list.
I really have issues with that concept. It makes no sense to me.?Customers and?quality customer service?are extremely valuable to long-term business. So I set about to prove how valuable customer service can be for a business. After seeing the anecdotal evidence and the numerical data stack up, it?s quite clear that quality customer service has an impact on a business? bottom line. Good customer service helps retain customers. Happy customers also give a business good word of mouth advertising ? the most powerful and effective advertising a business can receive. Good customer service leads to high customer loyalty. High customer loyalty gives your business higher sales and a stronger brand identity.
What to do if all is not Well?
So let?s bring this back around to what started me on this line of thinking: Difficult Customers. The strategy that some video game companies are using to ?deal? with the difficult customers was to launch a bit of an online campaign through gaming sites and other avenues to paint those difficult customers as unreasonable, and set the company up as a victim of their irrationality. From what I?ve seen and read of that option, the negativity has simply bred more negativity. Making the customers even more difficult and a lot of bad word of mouth has started to seep into the reputation of the company hurting their brand. So instead of creating an antagonistic atmosphere with difficult customers, I did a little research and found some tips and advice on how to deal with difficult customers and turn it into a positive.
The Customer?s Side
To get a handle on difficult customers I think it?s important to understand the perspective of the customer. This article by Mind Your Decisionsis amazing at giving us insight into that perspective ? and it gives consumers a series of tips on how to get the service they desire from bad customer service situations. It hinges on the premise that for customers to get what they want from a business? customer service department, their strategy should be reasonably unreasonable. It states that being reasonable with bad customer service usually leads to the customer not getting what they want as they let the business continue to ignore their issue. It then states that being unreasonable with bad customer service also misses the mark as making a ruckus may get you what you want, but may leave you feeling like you made a mountain out of a molehill. So it advocates a strategy of being reasonably unreasonable: Holding firm, continually going after what it is you want from the company but not raising a ruckus while you follow that path. The article is focused on giving customers advice on how to get businesses to respond to your desire for customer service: ?When dealing with bad service, one of the easiest ways to be reasonably unreasonable is to explain you are a frequent customer and that you would like a full cash refund. Cash, unlike in-store discounts, can be used at competitors.?This small request quickly gets the attention of managers who scramble to keep you happy. You may end up accepting an in-store discount, but it will likely be much larger because you started asking for cash.?
Articles like this are important to be aware of when you?re planning ?your own customer service protocols. You find again and again that the advice offered to consumers is to not back down. To continue to push for service. To be difficult. Sure, there are always going to be a tiny selection of customers that are the exceptions to the rule ? ones that are difficult to be difficult, ones that thrive off of confrontation, and ones that simply want to try and take advantage of your customer service to get something for nothing. But these are the rare exceptions. Most of the time you are dealing with a customer that feels like they got a defective product or did not get the value of their purchase. They are seeking some sort of compensation, some understanding and some assistance. And because they feel justified in their crusade, they are going to feel entitled to service. They aren?t the unreasonable villains that the ?gamer entitlement? tag suggests they are.
The moral of this story is a customer that wants a refund can be difficult about it. But can be turned back into a loyal customer if they receive understanding and compensation. It doesn?t even have to be in the form of a refund. But ignoring them or antagonizing them is only going to do more damage to your business and its reputation than the refund is usually worth. Most difficult customers aren?t that difficult once you initiate customer service that actually addresses their issues and their concerns.
Customer Service Tips
This article from Customer Service Manager offers five tips for dealing positively with difficult customers. Those five tips all hinge on engaging the customer?s emotions. As the article states in its conclusion: ?Make no mistake about it; customers, be they internal or external, are primarily driven by their emotions. It?s therefore important to use human responses in any interaction particularly when a customer is upset or angry. If customers like you and feel that you care, then they?re more likely to accept what you say and forgive your mistakes.?
The tips break down to:
- Have a thick skin. Be aware the customer is going to be angry and upset and don?t let that get to you.
- Listen. Listen to what they have to say.
- Don?t use the word sorry. Sorry, the article says is overused and has little impact with difficult customers.
- Show empathy. The customer is upset and empathy will help mollify their anger.
- Build a rapport. While empathizing with the customer opens the door for you, building a rapport gets you to your destination ? customer service.
?
Most other lists I?ve found on how to deal with difficult customers breaks down to a similar set of tips. The important tips that I repeatedly ran into were all a variation on listening to the customer, showing them understanding and not letting their anger get to you. It all comes back to giving the customer your time, your ear and your energy. Giving them the attention they need to service them and address their issues. You do this and most of the customer service complaints you get are defused. You turn many of these customers into loyal fans of your business who will turn around and spread the news that you give excellent service. You attract more business and build a reputation for your business.
For me, the bottom line of customer service is this: There?s no such thing as gamer entitlement. Those gamers are customers who purchased your product and they are entitled to quality customer service. If you run a video game company you should beat the pants off of your competitors by being one that gives quality customer service. You?ll set yourself apart from the ones that are painting their own customers as the villains and themselves as the victim of a group of people who simply want what they paid for.

lines and colors :: a blog about drawing, painting, illustration, comics ...
In what I hope will become a regular feature, Irene Gallo, art director of Tor, Forge, Starscape and Tor.com, has reprised the idea behind her post from last December, Picturing Winter, a Solstice Celebration, as Picturing Spring: An Equinox Celebration.
The basis of the original post was to ask several illustrators and art directors to suggest some favorite images of winter, created by themselves, other contemporary artists or artists from history.
The result was a treat, as I mentioned in my post about it, and though it was meant as a one-off article, Gallo decided to continue because, in her words, ??the post was too much fun to put together and I learned way too much not to try it again?.
I think her readers would agree on both counts.
This time around the subject is spring and the vernal equinox, and the result is a similarly wonderful, and enlightening, array of illustrations, concept art, museum and gallery art from both contemporary and historic sources.
Readers familiar with Lines and Colors know that I love this kind of mix of styles, genres and centuries, and I was delighted when Gallo asked me to participate in this round.
My suggestions were two images by Daniel Ridgeway Knight and one by John William Waterhouse (images above, bottom three).
The overall mix in her post is a treat, and the article includes comments by the participants and Gallo on the artists and works chosen. You may find some beautiful works and artists that are new to you.
The images in the post are linked to larger versions, and you will find it worth looking up artists with whom you?re not familiar to find more of their work.
Don?t forget to click on the names of the illustrators, gallery artists and art directors who made the suggestions to follow back to their own sites and blogs; in addition to the artists suggested, they themselves represent a ?tip of the iceberg? dive into a wealth of dazzling artwork.

Health & Fitness: Self Improvement
The problem with being a leader is that it can be often a burden. This is because it?s a hard thing to be responsible for other people. Most people try to avoid responsibility as much as they can. However, sometimes, you?re drafted into being the head honcho of a team. It can be a small group of people or maybe even an entire department, but the pressure is all the same for you to lead them to success. This pressure to succeed is why leadership development programs are highly in demand nowadays.
Leadership development may sound like some archaic business buzzword but all it boils down to is that leadership can be trained into people. Of course, this is a fact ? leading people is a skill like any other and can be taught. Some people are naturally skilled in it but not everyone can be Napoleon or Alexander the Great. Leadership development seeks to inculcate skills and values that will help you lead successfully. How does it do this?
First of all, leadership development focuses on planning. This is why you notice that most programs like these emphasize you to develop a personal plan for yourself. Plans are generally very helpful ? like the old saw says ?Measure twice and cut once?, it means that you have a clearly defined path to follow. This way there will be no confusion on the way you have to go to improve yourself.
Next, leadership development emphasizes strict self-assessment. People often say that they know enough about themselves but that is, most of the time, wrong. This is because most people like to think well of themselves ? they don?t like to get into the nitty-gritty details of their personality. This is why self-reflection is often unpopular ? people would rather point out other people?s faults than having their problematic traits pointed out to them.
Leadership development counselors are strict about you identifying your faults because it will help you deal with them in the future. People need a leader who can inspire them to do their best. A fumbling idiot or an arrogant micromanager is not an inspirational sight. The ability to recognize the problematic aspects of your personality and to either minimize or remove them is one of the hallmarks of good leadership.
Finally, leadership development isn?t all just about navel-gazing. It?s also about learning skills that are helpful in your job as leader. Some of these skills are administrative ones like balancing a schedule or writing an assessment report. Some of them are about interpersonal skills; part of being a good leader is being able to relate to your subordinates in a way that does not stifle them. Learning how to establish a positive rapport with your team is something that is very useful for a leader. Leadership development also teach you how to bring out the best in others ? coaching and developing talent is an integral part of making a world-class team.
That?s what leadership development is all about in the end ? being able to do your best and to be able to get the best out of others.

Romney tells Obama to fire 'gas hike' advisers
COLLINSVILLE, Ill. (AP) ? Mitt Romney is telling President Barack Obama to fire his top energy advisers.
The Republican primary front-runner is pointing specifically at Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Lisa Jackson, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator.
Romney calls them Obama's "gas hike trio" and is accusing them of "working like crazy" to raise gas prices.
Republicans are blaming Obama for the higher gas prices. Newt Gingrich has promised to establish $2.50-a-gallon gasoline if elected.
Energy prices are tied to some forces outside a president's control, including global demand, speculation, and Middle East conflicts.
But Romney said the Obama advisers should either resign or be fired.
He spoke at a campaign stop Saturday evening in Illinois ahead of Tuesday's high-stakes primary.

Senators push Russia trade restriction replacement
WASHINGTON (AP) ? Four senators say they will back an Obama administration push to repeal restrictions on trade with Russia, but only if the restrictions are replaced by legislation sanctioning Russian officials for human rights violations.
The lawmakers from both major parties outlined their position on abolishing the 1974 Jackson-Vanik law in a letter Friday.
The Obama administration is seeking the repeal urgently so that U.S. companies will not lose out after Russia joins the World Trade Organization this year. It has opposed linking repeal to legislation targeting Russian officials.
But the support of senators from both parties would boost prospects for the Senate to repeal the law.
The letter was signed by Sens. Benjamin Cardin, D-Md., Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., John McCain, R-Ariz., and Roger Wicker, R-Miss. The inclusion of McCain, a strident critic of Russia's record on human rights and the rule of law, signals an opening for the administration, if it is willing to accept the sanctions legislation.
Cardin is the author of the sanctions bill, called the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act. McCain also is a sponsor. It would subject Russian officials to travel bans and bar them from financial transactions in the United States.
Jackson-Vanik denies normal trading relations with communist countries that restrict emigration or punish those trying to leave the country. The amendment was introduced to pressure the Soviet Union to allow Jews to emigrate.
The United States has waived its application since 1994 and proponents of repeal argue that keeping it would only punish U.S. companies that want to operate in Russia. But others argue that the U.S. should maintain a linkage between trade with Russia and human rights issues.
Passage of the Magnitsky bill would open a new irritant in U.S. relations with Russia, a point acknowledged by the four senators.
"While some in the Russian government may be upset if the United States adopts the Magnitsky bill, we believe most Russians will be happy to see us deny the most abusive and corrupt individuals in their country the ability to travel and move their ill-gotten wealth overseas," the senators wrote.
The letter was written to Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., who chairs the finance committee and is shepherding the bill through the committee.
The Magnitsky bill is named for Sergey Magnitsky, who died of an untreated illness in late 2009 after spending almost a year in a Russian jail. Investors working in Russia have said the lawyer's death and allegations of torture highlight corruption in the judicial system.
The prospects for repeal of Jackson-Vanik in the Senate or the House of Representatives remain unclear, either alone or in combination with the Magnitsky bill.

Portrait emerges of Rutgers webcam spy defendant

He's charged with 15 criminal counts, including bias intimidation and invasion of privacy. His roommate, Tyler Clementi, committed suicide in September 2010, just days after the alleged spying. (AP Photo/The Star-Ledger, John Munson, Pool, file)
NEW BRUNWSICK, N.J. (AP) ? Dharun Ravi looked composed for an 18-year-old wearing shorts, a T-shirt and flip-flops when he was brought into a police station for questioning on Sept. 23, 2010 about his Rutgers University roommate, Tyler Clementi.
Word had spread that Ravi used his webcam to view Clementi in a private moment with another man, just days before Clementi committed suicide.
As he was questioned, Ravi looked directly at the investigator who grilled him and accused him repeatedly of lying. He talked quickly but his voice didn't trail off.
Now, he and his lawyers must decide whether he should take the witness stand in his defense and address jurors directly. They'll have to weigh whether they think adding his voice ? and giving prosecuting lawyers a chance to cross-examine him ? will help his case or hurt it.
Ravi, now 20, is charged with 15 criminal counts including invasion of privacy, bias intimidation and attempting to cover his tracks by tampering with evidence and a witness.
Clementi jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge into the Hudson River on Sept. 22, 2010.
Testimony in the trial has taken 11 days so far. Ravi sits about 20 feet from jurors ? wearing a suit, his formerly unkempt hair trimmed neatly ? but they have not heard him utter a single word in person.
Between his words and those of others, a portrait of him has been painted for jurors.
Born in India, he came to New Jersey with his family as a young child. He and his family live in the upscale central New Jersey community of Plainsboro.
The son of a computer software firm executive, he has designed some software on his own.
The younger Ravi had a custom-made computer that functioned on both Microsoft and Apple Macintosh operating systems. That technical accomplishment ? while not unheard of ? impressed the detective assigned to examine the machine.
He was gregarious and good enough at calculus that other students came to him for help.
In high school, he ran track and played ultimate Frisbee, then joined the disc team when he got to Rutgers. He was proud when he bought new cleats for the sports, describing them in a text message to a friend as "purple and flashy."
At Rutgers, he planned to major in economics. The university assigned him and Clementi to be roommates at random. They didn't meet before they moved in at the end of August.
When he met with police, he was asked to explain a Twitter post in which he said: "Anyone with iChat, I dare you to video chat me between the hours of 9:30 pm and 12."
On the video, he said he meant that sarcastically. "When I'm uncomfortable about something," Ravi explained during the interrogation, "I joke about it."
To convict him on the most serious charge ? bias intimidation ? prosecutors will need to convince the jury that he acted out of animus against gays. He faces up to 10 years of prison if he's convicted of bias intimidation, which is considered a hate crime in New Jersey. Most people convicted of the other charges he faces don't get jail time.
Throughout the trial, defense lawyers have worked hard to show that he didn't.
As prosecutors called college students to testify, defense lawyers asked them all a variation of the same question: Did he ever say anything bad about gays? In each case, the answer was "no."
But there was a bit more to it than that. Some students said Ravi told them he was "uncomfortable" having a gay roommate.
The defense began presenting its side of the case on Friday by calling seven men to testify. All of them are friends ? and most current or former business associates ? of Ravi's father.
Defense lawyer Philip Nettl asked each of them if Ravi ever said anything derogatory about gay individuals or gays in general.
In each case, the men said no.
Then, First Assistant Middlesex County Prosecutor Julia McClure began questioning them.
All said they had never seen his Twitter posts, and exchanged texts or instant messages with him. And each of them said homosexuality was never discussed in their conversations.
"Why would that come up?" asked one of the men, Anil Kappa, a business partner of Ravi's father.
