CRM 101: What is CRM?
This is a simple definition of CRM.
Customer relationship management (CRM) is a technology for managing all your company’s relationships and interactions with customers and potential customers. The goal is simple: Improve business relationships to grow your business. A CRM system helps companies stay connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve profitability.
When people talk about CRM, they are usually referring to a CRM system, a tool that helps with contact management, sales management, agent productivity, and more. CRM tools can now be used to manage customer relationships across the entire customer lifecycle, spanning marketing, sales, digital commerce, and customer service interactions.
A CRM solution helps you focus on your organization’s relationships with individual people — including customers, service users, colleagues, or suppliers — throughout your lifecycle with them, including finding new customers, winning their business, and providing support and additional services throughout the relationship.
Who is CRM for?
A CRM system gives everyone — from sales, customer service, business development, recruiting, marketing, or any other line of business — a better way to manage the external interactions and relationships that drive success. A CRM tool lets you store customer and prospect contact information, identify sales opportunities, record service issues, and manage marketing campaigns, all in one central location — and make information about every customer interaction available to anyone at your company who might need it.
With visibility and easy access to data, it's easier to collaborate and increase productivity. Everyone in your company can see how customers have been communicated with, what they’ve bought, when they last purchased, what they paid, and so much more. CRM can help companies of all sizes drive business growth, and it can be especially beneficial to a small business, where teams often need to find ways to do more with less.
Here’s why CRM matters to your business.
CRM is the largest and fastest-growing enterprise application software category, and worldwide spending on CRM is expected to reach USD $114.4 billion by the year 2027. If your business is going to last, you need a strategy for the future that’s centered around your customers, and enabled by the right technology. You have targets for sales, business objectives, and profitability. But getting up-to-date, reliable information on your progress can be tricky. How do you translate the many streams of data coming in from sales, customer service, marketing, and social media monitoring into useful business information?
A CRM system can give you a clear overview of your customers. You can see everything in one place — a simple, customizable dashboard that can tell you a customer’s previous history with you, the status of their orders, any outstanding customer service issues, and more. You can even choose to include information
Going the extra mile is about going above and beyond and getting more than you thought you were paying for or expecting.
Golden Rule – You only have one chance to make a first impression!

Financial management for Business CoursesPPT.pptetebarkhmichale
The Commercial Bank of Ethiopia has been becoming a leader, pioneer, and role model for the country's financial industry, especially the banking industry. Currently, it aspires “to become a world-class commercial bank, financially driving Ethiopia’s future'', and it is working to provide banking services tailored to the needs of its esteemed customers. The bank has carried out a comprehensive assessment and strategy design work and drawn a business reform road map. Based on the assessment, reforms and organizational restructurings have been done. Accordingly, the bank has introduced a new customer-centric business model and undertaken amendments to its organizational structure in order to render effective service based on customer segments. Following this, new divisions and departments were established; the Micro Business Banking under the Wholesale Banking Division was established to address the banking needs of all individual and non-individual businesses.
The main objective of the department was to provide financing access to microbusiness customers. Since the number of microbusiness customers is very high, using digital channels has been considered an essential alternative. Due to this, the department has been assigned to provide digital micro saving and lending, which is the most efficient and effective form.
The strategic initiatives planned to achieve the department’s objectives have been successfully implemented, and the DMSL service is under a pilot test. However, there have been some problems that could be fixed only by restructuring the department, and the current structure is not conducive to providing successful digital loans. The digital lending being in a pilot test is also not going according to plan, and its performance status is not satisfactory. Due to those situations, I have been initiated to come up with this concept note, and I hope you will enrich and work on it to provide a successful solution.
2. Background
Technological advancements have significantly transformed the way services are delivered, leading to a shift in customer expectations and demands. Financial services are now focusing on providing seamless digital banking transactions and personalized engagements. Digital lending platforms are making lending easier, more accessible, and more efficient. Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) is leading in achieving national financial inclusion by establishing dedicated departments and implementing initiatives to improve the customer experience. This concept note proposes a structural adjustment for the recently established department called micro business banking department established under the wholesale banking division. The detail background leads me to this initiative is detailed as follow.
2.1. Micro Business Banking

Understanding the Structure of a Successful Digital Credit Provider in Kenya.
Kenya's financial services sector is embracing FinTech, with digital credit providers like Tala, Zenka Digital, and Ksmart leveraging AI, machine learning, robotic process automation, data analytics, and blockchain. A fintech in the lending space may cater to various kinds of product offerings, which can be broadly categorized as follows:
1. Consumer loans
2. Personal loans
3. Business or MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise) loans
1. What are the critical back-end tech solutions/integrations needed?
1. Customer acquisition
2. Application, website, and/or app
3. Verification APIs
4. Credit underwriting/ Scorecards/Fraud detection
5. Credit Bureau Integration
6. Automatic analysis of qualitative factors
7. Disbursement/Repayment
8. Collection/Recovery
9. Loan Management System (LMS)/Accounting
10. Legal
Let's delve deeper into each of the above for a deeper understanding.
1.1. Customer acquisition
Drawing in customers is a top priority for any fintech. There are various methods or sources through which a DCP acquires its customers. The customer acquisition process may differ for each lending institution depending on their product, the area in which they operate, the customer profile, etc. To attract potential borrowers, leverage digital marketing strategies, social media, and partnerships with relevant platforms. Focus on providing a seamless user experience to make your platform stand out from existing or traditional lenders.
1.2. Application, website, app or USSD
Develop a user-friendly and intuitive digital platform for borrowers to apply for loans easily. Mobile apps have become increasingly popular in Fintech, allowing users to access services conveniently. Consider application login through Gmail, social media, and so on to enable the user to seamlessly log in to the mobile application for the website without creating any new login credentials. At the same time, this also provides the Fintech with the profile of the loan applicant. Do you need customers to upload documents for KYC/AML verification? Ensure your platform allows uploading these documents and has back-end integration to verify the documents' authenticity. Consider using the different available Optical Recognition Technologies (OCR), which should be able to read the data from the documents provided and create the text. For verification and authentication of the information in the documents, the Fintech can develop its software and subscribe to various services or do an API integration with a service provider who can provide such services. The main goal is to give users a comfortable journey, so they must manually type minimum information.
1.3. Verifying APIs
Integrated person’s registry system (IPRS) is Kenya'sKenya's reputed organization providing APIs for KYC, Identity, etc., suitable for all lending businesses. The IPRS system aims to consolidate population information into a
Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.
Chapter - 1
The Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th
Power of Personal Appearance
Image management is the ongoing process of evaluating and controlling the impact of your appearance and the resulting response on you and others.
The concept of image management applies to anyone who has ever needed to improve self-image, self-esteem, self-confidence, capability and credibility. It applies to anyone who has ever wanted to get an idea across to someone else, to influence opinion or action is it in the home, school, church, community or business setting. It is creating an authentic, appropriate, attractive, and affordable image. Intelligence, knowledge, ability, initiative, and effort are vital to success of any kind, but regardless of whom you are, how old, and what your role or goal, ongoing image management can give you the personal/professional presence you need.
As an individual living and working in a highly complex and competitive society, you must recognize and understand the impact of your appearance as it communicates first to you and then to others. What you wear and the way you look affects:
1. The Way You Think
You can’t afford to think negatively about yourself due to some aspect of your appearance. When you appear authentic, attractive, and appropriate, you think more positively about yourself, your situation, and others.
2. The Way You Feel
You can’t afford to feel depressed, unproductive, uncomfortable, antagonistic, argumentative, self-conscious, inferior, or full of self-doubt. A positive personal appearance is a fast, effective way to boost self-confidence and overcome anxiety regarding ability or acceptance. When you appear attractively dressed and groomed, personally authentic, and appropriate for the occasion, you feel more comfortable, confident, capable, cooperative and productive.
3. The Way You Act or Behave
You can’t afford to act awkward, insecure, submissive, out-of-place, or out-of-order. Nor can you afford to act defensive, arrogant, aggressive, affected, superior, or conceited. A positive personal appearance is one of the most effective ways to improve behavior and enhance performance level or productivity. When you appear attractively dressed and groomed, personally authentic, and appropriate for the occasion, you act more secure, at ease, mannerly, competent, and naturally able to do your best.
4. The Way Others React and Respond to You
Your appearance is the one personal characteristic that is immediately obvious and accessible to others. You can’t hide it. Your appearance makes a strong statement about your personality, values, attitudes, interests, knowledge, abilities, roles, and goals. You can’t afford to be seen as disrespectful, antagonistic, affected, scatterbrained, irresponsible, ineffective, or unproductive. You can’t afford to create a negative impression or to build barriers between you and others because of unattractive, inappropriate, distracting, or offensive appearance.

Digital Lending has made it possible for many people to access the funds they need quickly and securely, without having to worry about paperwork or trips to physical banks and collateral. With competitive rates, flexible repayment plans, and fast disbursement of funds – digital lending is changing the way we view financing.
Digital lending is the process of obtaining a loan online through digital channels such as mobile apps and websites. And, this process has been gaining popularity in recent years in our country due to its convenience and ease of use. There are noteworthy examples of this. One is Michu, a platform by the Cooperative Bank of Oromia that offers credit based on a borrower's score. It specifically provided for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Another is Telebirr's different types of microloan services offered in collaboration with Dashen Bank. This service allows users to obtain small loans without needing collateral, using their credit score as a basis. Additionally, the Bank of Abyssinia's different Apollo instant digital loans, which is set to launch this month.
The digital credit process typically consists of the following major activities. And, the borrower will need to research and compare the existing digital lending platforms to find one that suits his needs. He should consider factors such as service charges, interest rates, loan terms, eligibility criteria, and customer reviews.
Create an account: Once the borrower has selected a provider, he will need to create an account on their platform. This typically involves providing basic personal information (name, address, phone number, email) and setting up a username and password.
Loan Application: Once he has chosen a lender, the borrower will need to fill out an online application form. This typically involves providing personal information (like name and address), financial information (such as income, employment status, and outstanding debts), and the purpose of the loan.
Document Submission: After filling out the application, the borrower will usually need to submit supporting documents. These might include proof of identity, proof of income (like pay stubs or tax returns), and bank statements. Thanks to digital technology, these documents can often be uploaded directly to the platform.
Consent to a credit check: Most digital credit providers will perform a credit check as part of the application process. By agreeing to a credit check, the borrower needs to give the provider permission to access his credit history and score, which will be used to assess his creditworthiness.
Review the loan terms: If the application is approved, the provider will present the borrower with a loan offer,
Digital Lending Platform: The only guide you’ll ever need(https://moba.finance/what-is-digital-lending-platform/)
New changes in rates, regulations, competitions, and new technologies all the more increase this pressure of digital lending. Banks need a new lending technology to rapidly adapt to market shifts and stay ahead of competitors.
Fortunately, a Digital Lending Platform can help banks address all those challenges.
What is Digital Lending Platform
A Digital Lending Platform automates the journey from application to disbursement for any lending product—be it mortgages, consumer loans, or deposit accounts.
With Digital Lending Platforms, banks can acquire and assess customers faster while enhancing back-office processes and reducing costs. It helps banks solve these challenges by delivering an all-in-one place to manage individual customers’ lending journey—from application, underwriting, to disbursement and collection.
In today’s everything-digital world, customers are so used to the seamless and intuitive shopping experience from Momo, Shopee, and Grab. They expect the same thing from lending. Customers demand the ability to apply for loans and are disbursed online via digital platforms, without having to visit the physical branch.
Below are some of the capabilities of a Digital Lending Platform:
Seamless customer experiences from application to collection
With the Digital Lending Platform, your potential lenders can use any device—be it the mobile phone, tablet, or desktop—to apply for loans and complete the follow-up tasks to receive the disbursement. The platform supports everything involved in the lending workflow, which involves connecting to their bank account, uploading documents, completing the eKYC process, providing e-signature, … All that is customizable to meet banks’ unique requirements.
Role-based tools for loan officers
A Digital Lending Platform provides each officer with a digital workspace to support lenders. The workspace typically includes interfaces for managing applications, communicating with customers online to complete follow-ups, providing settlement and closing services, and engaging with referral partners.
Automated verification and accuracy checks
By directly connecting to financial data sources, the digital lending platform helps banks eliminate the use of paper. It makes approvals faster and reduces fraud risk by integrating a wide range of eKYC solutions to verify customers’ identity, assets, employment, and income.
Data-driven workflows and automated decisioning
The Digital Lending Platform applies workflows that loan officers can customize themselves without having to write codes. The result is that manual, paper-based processes are reduced significantly. Also, it can automate requests for information, which provides underwriters with accurate and up-to-date loan files to finalize credit decisioning. In addition, the platform can automatically apply bank’s credit policies to unlock more efficiency

In Africa, women entrepreneurs play a growing role in diversifying production and services. However, they are facing the problem of financial shortage; a recent report by the African Development Bank showed that there is an estimated $42 billion financing gap for female entrepreneurs in Africa. The study demonstrated that women are facing more difficult conditions than men entrepreneurs such as limited access to key resources (including land and credit), the legal and regulatory framework, and the socio-cultural environment. The economy's full potential cannot be realized if half of its population cannot fully contribute, and women have faced many hurdles in the entrepreneurship journey, prompting responsible bodies to devise affirmative solutions.
Ethiopia's female population is 49.8%, but small businesses owned by women only make up 16.5% of the total number of entrepreneurs. Limited access to finance, business networks, development services, and business management skills hinders women entrepreneurs. The government is promoting women entrepreneurs through initiatives like training and financial support. The Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) is introducing a customer-centric business model to cater to its customers' needs and values. The bank aims to increase the outreach of financial products and services to a larger population, particularly women who own business enterprises. The bank has established a micro business department to adjust itself with the micro business loan demanding customers. These factors can be considered as business drivers and factors enforcing CBE to come up with a gender-specific solution.
The micro business banking department conducted a feasibility study on financing women-owned Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and has proposed a collateral-free loan product to bridge the financial gap. In the feasibility study it has been also demonstrated that financing women owned MSMEs could promote financial inclusion and economic empowerment, boosting growth and forming the backbone of vibrant economies.
Therefore, this proposal aims to provide a method how CBE should finance for selected formal women-owned MSMEs in Ethiopia to alleviate their financing gap. It is being proposed that, the CBE shall start the product by making a pilot test for women-owned microbusinesses from Addis Ababa City Administration, with local stakeholders providing data, support, and training for three years. The bank could be benefited from implementing this proposal to attract and retain micro customers, penetrate the micro credit-market, and to adjust itself with the micro customers’ demand.
2. Objectives of the proposal
2.1. General Objectives
This proposal aims to provide customized microloans for women MSMEs to ensure equitable resource allocation and profitability for the bank.
2.2. Specific Objectives
• To play a major role in supporting and promoting women-owned MSMEs through availing useful and affordable loan
1.1. Nature and Definition of Auditing
Different scholars have defined auditing in different ways. For example, Auditing is a process of collection and evaluation of evidence for the purpose of reporting on economic transaction. The other definition of auditing given by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, in its publication titled, General Guidelines on Internal Auditing has defined auditing as ‘ a systematic and independent evaluation of data, statements, records, operations and performances ( financial or otherwise) of an enterprise for stated purpose. In any auditing situation, the auditor perceives and recognizes the propositions before him for examination, collects evidence, evaluates the same and on this basis formulates his/her judgment which is communicated through audit report.
As it is cited in Kanal Gupta and Arora A.(1996,p6), Arens and Loebbecke defined auditing as the process by which a complete, independent person accumulates and evaluates evidence about quantifiable information related to specific economic entity for the purpose of determining and reporting on the degree of correspondence between the quantifiable information and established criteria. To sum up, Auditing is the process of verifying the assertions produced by accounting, as to whether they present a true and fair view of the entity's financial position in accordance with accounting standards and GAAP. In other words, auditing seeks to verify whether or not financial records have been properly prepared.
Study Note
The term audit is derived from the Latin term ‘audire,’ which means to hear. In early days an auditor used to listen to the accounts read over by an accountant in order to check them Auditing is as old as accounting.
It was in use in all ancient countries such as Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt. Rome, U.K. and India. The Vedas contain reference to accounts and auditing.
The original objective of auditing was to detect and prevent errors and frauds and most recently objective of audit shifted to ascertain whether the accounts were true and fair rather than detection of errors and frauds.
Auditing evolved and grew rapidly after the industrial revolution in the 18th century with the growth of the joint stock companies the ownership and management became separate.
The shareholders who were the owners needed a report from an independent expert on the accounts of the company managed by the board of directors who were the employees.
1.2. Historical Development of Auditing
The development of auditing is closely linked to the development of accounting. In the early stage of civilization, the number of transaction was usually so small that able to record the transactions himself. However, with the growth of civilization and consequential growth in volume and complexity of transactions, it becomes necessary to entrust the job of recording the transactions to other persons. The trend started with maintenance of accounts to empires by public officials
Today’s complex global challenges require partnerships across sectors and societies to achieve equitable and sustainable results for stakeholders and realize strategic objectives stipulated. The United Nations General Assembly defines partnerships as voluntary and collaborative relationship between various parties, both public and non-public, in which all participants agree to work together to achieve a common purpose or undertake a specific task and, as mutually agreed, to share risks, responsibilities, resources and benefits.
Alexander et al. (2001) also defines partnership as strategically formed relationship between organizations that involve varying degrees of resource sharing, joint decision making, and collaborative work to address common interests, and achieve shared goals. While there are many theoretically recognized benefits and advantages to partnerships, the answer to why one seeks to establish partnership is relatively simple. The presumption is that, there is added value in working with other organizations .
Strategically, the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) has adopted partnering with developmental organs (Regional Organs) and collaboration institutions strategic response in crafting both local and foreign currency resource mobilization strategies.
A strategic partnering for CBE is nothing but it is a form of an agreement with government/public organs/Institutions under the theme of mutual growth and success. In other words, it is forming a strong relationship with organizations like governmental organs that have shared interest, vision, goal & objectives (development) in order to reach a new market and excel competitors/rivals by providing excellent banking services.
On the other hand, collaboration for CBE shall mean work with another organ in order to achieve or do something that sounds disarmingly simple and coordinating the efforts of employees and resource deployed in providing services and selling of products. Since then, it is struggling to implement these strategic responses accordingly at all level of the bank in the course of resource mobilization tasks.
According to the revised Deposit Mobilization Strategy for 2015/16-2019/20 outlines various strategic responses for deposit mobilization. Strengthening Collaboration with Development Partners is one of them. The document begins by stating the invaluable importance of strategic partners in the success of CBE over the past strategic periods and without the active support of partners, CBE’s deposit mobilization effort would have been very difficult, if not impossible.
But the strategy document stresses that it is not sufficient to sustain their support for long unless the CBE understands their interest or demand and support their area of concern as much as possible.
In 2017, CBE undertook an assessment on the possible areas of engagement with Developmental Partners (DPs) . In this assessment, it is observed that there has been limited understanding about the concep

CRM 101: What is CRM?
This is a simple definition of CRM.
Customer relationship management (CRM) is a technology for managing all your company’s relationships and interactions with customers and potential customers. The goal is simple: Improve business relationships to grow your business. A CRM system helps companies stay connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve profitability.
When people talk about CRM, they are usually referring to a CRM system, a tool that helps with contact management, sales management, agent productivity, and more. CRM tools can now be used to manage customer relationships across the entire customer lifecycle, spanning marketing, sales, digital commerce, and customer service interactions.
A CRM solution helps you focus on your organization’s relationships with individual people — including customers, service users, colleagues, or suppliers — throughout your lifecycle with them, including finding new customers, winning their business, and providing support and additional services throughout the relationship.
Who is CRM for?
A CRM system gives everyone — from sales, customer service, business development, recruiting, marketing, or any other line of business — a better way to manage the external interactions and relationships that drive success. A CRM tool lets you store customer and prospect contact information, identify sales opportunities, record service issues, and manage marketing campaigns, all in one central location — and make information about every customer interaction available to anyone at your company who might need it.
With visibility and easy access to data, it's easier to collaborate and increase productivity. Everyone in your company can see how customers have been communicated with, what they’ve bought, when they last purchased, what they paid, and so much more. CRM can help companies of all sizes drive business growth, and it can be especially beneficial to a small business, where teams often need to find ways to do more with less.
Here’s why CRM matters to your business.
CRM is the largest and fastest-growing enterprise application software category, and worldwide spending on CRM is expected to reach USD $114.4 billion by the year 2027. If your business is going to last, you need a strategy for the future that’s centered around your customers, and enabled by the right technology. You have targets for sales, business objectives, and profitability. But getting up-to-date, reliable information on your progress can be tricky. How do you translate the many streams of data coming in from sales, customer service, marketing, and social media monitoring into useful business information?
A CRM system can give you a clear overview of your customers. You can see everything in one place — a simple, customizable dashboard that can tell you a customer’s previous history with you, the status of their orders, any outstanding customer service issues, and more. You can even choose to include information

* Definitions of Types of Transactions
1. Parallel
In a parallel transaction a person sends a direct message to
someone and the sender gets an expected response. This can
occur between any two ego states. When the response is
expected, the transaction is complimentary and the lines of
communication remain open and uninterrupted.
Examples:
P P P P
A A A A
C C C C
X: Are you attending the X: Let’s call in sick
Staff Meeting this morning? tomorrow.
Y: Yes, I plan to attend. Y: Great. It should be a
great day to go off.
24. 24
2. Crossed
A crossed transaction occurs when the sender is met with
an unexpected response. When this takes place, the
transaction may become blocked and communication may
be closed off or diverted. In this state, people may become
angry, confused or withdrawn.
Examples:
P P P P
A A A A
C C C C
X: Are you attending the X: Let’s call in sick
Staff meeting this morning? tomorrow?
Y: Why are you always Y: You shouldn’t be
checking on me? breaking the rules
by calling in sick
when you are not
sick.
25. 25
3. Ulterior
Ulterior transactions occur when a person appears to be
sending one kind of message but is actually sending another
kind of message in disguise. Sometimes the tone of voice or
body language will convey the real message. This sort of
transaction is undesirable.
Examples:
P P P P
A A A A
C C C C
X: Ms. Madlangbayan, the policy X: Mr. Olaño where
of this agency is to pay clerical are the data sheets
staff P300.00 per day. from the Accounting
Department.

is paying you P300.00 per day handle your work like
That’s a lot of money for the you are supposed to.)
kind of work you’ve been
turning out.)
26. Attitude is your mental
position with regard to facts –
or more simply, the way you
view things.
26
27. 27
1. Your attitude toward customers influences your behavior. You
cannot always camouflage how you feel.
2. Your attitude determines the level of your job satisfaction.
3. Your attitude affects everyone who comes in contact with
you, either in person or on the telephone.
4. Your attitude is not only reflected by your tone of voice, but
also by the way you stand or sit, your facial expression and
other non-verbal ways.
5. Your attitude is not fixed. The attitude you choose to display
is up to you.
