What do you do when you want a quick copy? Do you look for a photocopier
or do you make the other person fill out two pages with the same information.
Ridiculous thing to do since it will waste time and you’ll have an irate person
to deal with for the next process. Well I could use a printer to take out two
copies – of course that’s an option – mostly not possible since one you might
not have access to a printer everywhere and two you are wasting paper a
valuable resource in itself.
When do you need a quick copy? When you are in a seminar or an
exhibition or a trade show representing your company or your very own project,
that’s when you’ll need one. There are furthermore instances where you just
might be in a rush, e.g. an exhibition stall where luckily your sales/marketing
people have attracted around 20/25 people at the same time. You may need it to
make a database for your company: to enhance features of an existing
product/upgrade it or for launching a new product which would cater to a
specific market. Admission forms as well as government questionnaires/survey
forms may all have the same requirement.
One of the quickest and cheapest options is to distribute and get 2 part carbonless forms
filled up by the various potential customers/clients/workshop participants. Not
only are you being time savvy but you are also using an environmentally
friendly product i.e. the NCR papers. Just give the other person a pen and
distribute these forms and viola! You have the information and a copy for
safekeeping as well.
Sales receipts are the most vital document/paper when it comes to customer
interaction. It is the only way for a person to verify where and when he
brought the product form. Using a 2 part carbonless form
you may give him the original receipt and keep a copy yourself (whether you are
a company rep or have your own business). This way you earn the trust of the
customer – him knowing that there is a guarantee from a reliable source and in
accordance to the sales policy the company is responsible for the products it
has manufactured during that period and also that the return policy is valid. The
company confirming that it has a customer whose information used smartly will
make him/her a regular customer. This also means that they both conform to any
state laws binding the seller/customer relationship.
