USE OF THE TELEPHONE In order to meet the calls as efficiently as possible, avoid problems and misunderstandings, it is necessary to go unnoticed to follow these breaks:
January-competition is increasing, the products offered are becoming larger and more varied, so it is necessary to provide added value.
The calls should be answered quickly. It is important not to talk to another person while you pick up the phone. If you are caring for a person when the phone is ringing; you should apologize and reply "leaving it on standby" if it is necessary, to continue serving person.
2-competitors increasingly are equating quality and price, so it is necessary to seek differentiation. 3-customers are increasingly demanding, and not just looking for money and quality, but also a good service, a friendly atmosphere, comfort, personalized service, a Serbian fast.

People, who have direct contact with customers, have a great responsibility. They can make a customer return or never come back, so they make the difference. Maybe everything "behind the scenes" work like a charm but if a dependent fails; probably the image that the client takes the entire business will be poor.
CUSTOMER SERVICE STRATEGIES The most important thing in a company is the customers and their teams, and only those who have personal competitive products or service and excellent quality service will ensure effective positioning in the market.

Management introduction

Management is a science that teaches the most efficient way to drive business to previously established goals. Inspiring others based on a deep and clear understanding of human nature with a social process that takes the responsibility to plan, regulate and run the operations of a company by organizing, directing, coordinating and controlling all activities of trained and responsible employees, with the aim that together perform a specific task and float carrying the goals and benefits of the company or organization.
According to Henry and Mario Sverdlik Sisk (1979) the management is:
A difficult term to define that means different things to different people. Some identify with functions performed by entrepreneurs, managers or supervisors; others refer to a particular group of people. For workers, management is synonymous with the exercise of authority over their working lives...
Manager is a person who is in charge of the management or coordination of the organization, institution or business, or a part of it as a department or a workgroup. As for example, a General Manager, a Manager of finance, a personnel manager, section managers, shift managers, project managers, among others.
Motivation to manage: to be a good manager you have to feel the desire to lead the group. Intelligence: A smart person with a good and formed personality. Capacity for analysis and synthesis: Mental status of the person to fix an idea or problem. Communication Capacity: Without it the current manager is doomed to failure. Psychology Skills: He should know how to treat the people. Listening Skills: It is important to know hear and listen to staff. Observation Skills: Pay attention to the situations. Leadership: It is clear that the leader has to know instruct and manage. Fighting Spirit: The route of the company is hard and the manager must know how to handle. Perseverance and Constance: Have to be persistent in their goal. Mental and Physical Strength: In the life of the manager has to spend much more time to work. Moral and Ethical Integrity: There is the legality and the illegality of the cases, not everything is valid and the end doesn’t justify the means. Critical Spirit: Don't get carried away by the current.
Role of the manager: • The role of the manager is used as efficiently as possible all available resources to obtain the maximum possible benefit from them. In other words, to

• In modern practice, the manager is usually an employee, paid partly by salary and sometimes part through either production bonuses or grant of shares of the organization for which they work, etc. • The management tasks are an important part of the functions of an entrepreneur. However, that is a general term used to designate who is in charge of a company, being, in this sense, a term more restricted while entrepreneurs are managers, not every manager is an entrepreneur.

The purpose is to achieve coordinated effort among all the elements in the organization (Coordinating). Organizing must take into account delegation of authority and responsibility and span of control within supervisory units.
In business, administration consists of the performance or management of business operations and thus the making or implementing of a major decision.
Staffing: Mean filling job positions with the right people at the right time.
Administration can be defined as the universal process of organizing people and resources efficiently so as to direct activities toward common goals and objectives. Administrators engage in a common set of functions to meet the organization's goals.
It involves determining staffing needs, writing job descriptions, recruiting and screening people to fill the positions.
Directing:
Is leading people in a manner that achieves the goals of the organization. This involves proper allocation of resources and providing an effective support system.
These "functions" of the administrator were described by Henri Fayol as "the 5 elements of administration�.

advance what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and who should do it. It maps the path from where the organization is to where it wants to be.
One of the crucial issues in directing is to find the correct balance between emphasis on staff needs and emphasis on economic production.
Controlling: Is a function

that evaluates quality in all areas and detects potential or actual deviations from the organization's plan.
Organizing:

This ensures high-quality performance and satisfactory results while maintaining an orderly and problem-free environment. Controlling includes information management, measurement of performance, and institution of corrective actions.

adjectives for the future are based in part on past experiences. Make a decision Continually, people must choose from several options that they find most convenient is to say, they take a lot of decisions in their daily lives, in more or less important, while taking easy or difficult depending on the consequences or results derived from each of them. You can move this general approach to the field of business. The decision covers the four administrative functions, as well as managers plan, organize, lead and control, they are often called decision makers.
A technical student in commercial and administrative service must know and practice all these functions in order to obtain the best results at work. They all work together and anyone is better than the others, each one needs from others to complete its duties.
In an organization, decisions making invades 4 administrative functions: planning, organizing, directing and controlling. A Taking decision is related to a problem, difficulty or conflict. Through the taken decision and its implementation is expected to get answers to a problem or solution to a conflict.
Personal qualities for making decisions Undoubtedly there are certain qualities that make decision makers are good or bad. Four are the qualities that are most important when analyzing the decision maker: Experience Good Judgment Creativity Quantitative Skills
Taken decisions literally mean "cut", or practical content to reach a conclusion. Decision problems require that there be a choice of several possibilities which must make the choice; time or experience is an important element in the taking decision process. The decision relates the present circumstances of the company or organization with actions that will be in the future. The decision is also based on the last bone in the experiences in this, positive or negative as this plays an important part in determining the options that managers consider practicable or desirable. Thus the
Other qualities may be relevant, but these four make up the fundamental requirements. Importance of decision making It is important because by using good judgment, Decision Making indicates that a problem or situation is assessed and considered deeply to choose the best way forward under the different alternatives and operations. It is also vital to the administration as it helps to maintain harmony and coherence of the group, and hence its efficiency in decision making,
45
consider a problem and come to a valid conclusion, it means you have examined all the alternatives and that choice was correct. This logical thinking will increase confidence in the ability to judge and control situations. One of the most competitive approaches research and analysis for decision making is operations research. Since this is an important tool for production management and operations.
Future Effects: It has to do with the extent to which the commitments related to the decision will affect the future. A decision that has a longterm influence can be considered a high-level decision, while a decision to short-term effects can be taken to a much lower level. Reversibility refers to the speed with which a decision can be reversed and the difficulty of making this change. If reverse is difficult, we recommend taking the decision at a high level, but if reverse is easy, it requires the decision at a low level. Impact: This refers to the extent that other areas or activities are affected. If the impact is extensive, it is indicated make the decision at a high level, a single impact is associated with a decision taken at a low level. Quality: This factor relates to labor relations, ethical, legal considerations, basic principles of conduct, company image, etc.. If many of these factors are involved, the decision is required at a high level, if only some are relevant factors, it is recommended to make the decision at a low level. Frequency: This element answers the question of whether a decision is taken or unusually frequent.
Decision making is considered as an important part of the planning process when you already know a try and a goal; the core of planning is really the decision process, so in this context the process that leads to taking a decision may be displayed as follows: Development of premises Identification of alternatives Alternative Assessment in terms of the desired goal. Choosing an alternative, i.e. a decision. The decision-making and its implementation It is often asked whether organizations have rules and regulations related to a process by which a manager can reach objectives, policies and strategies. While there is no single set of standards for any of these functions, all are related to different forms of decision-making it possible to develop a list of steps that apply to all circumstances in which decisions are made. We can then speak of a basic process known as the circuit or steps of decision making. There are five characteristics of decisions making:
the
46
Steps in the process of decision making
alternatives. The decision maker has to make a list of all the possible alternatives that could be used to solve the problem. Evaluate the alternatives: Having identified the alternatives, the decision taker must critically evaluate each. The advantages and disadvantages of each alternative are apparent when compared. The evaluation of each alternative is performed with respect to analyzing weighted approach.
Determine the need for a decision: The decision making process begins with the recognition of the need to make a decision, it is caused by a problem or a disparity between some desired state and the actual condition of the moment.
Select the best alternative (decision making): Once you select the best alternative you reach the end of the process of decision making in the rational process. This selection is quite simple. The only decision maker has to choose the alternative that has the highest rating in step number five. The example we would result in the purchase of a Mercedes, with minimal differences with other brands.
Identify the decision criteria: Once the need to make a decision, you should identify the criteria that are important to it. Let's consider an example. "A person thinking of buying a car, the decision criteria of a typical buyer will be: price, model, two or more doors, domestic or imported size, optional equipment, color, etc. These criteria reflect what the buyer thinks is relevant. There are people for whom it is irrelevant whether new or used, the important thing is that you meet their expectations of brand, size, image, etc.., And within the budget available. For another buyer what is really important is that it is new, disregarding the size, brand, reputation, etc.�
Types of Decisions Decisions can be divided into two categories.
Programmed decision: They are programmed to the extent that they are repetitive and routine, also to the extent that it has developed a definitive method to handle them. Being the problem well structured, the command does not need to go through the effort and expense of making a complete decision process. These decisions have scheduled some guides or procedures (sequential steps to solve a problem), rules to ensure consistency in the disciplines and
Assign weight to the criteria: The criteria listed in the previous step are relatively unimportant. It is necessary to weigh each and prioritize their importance in the decision. Develop all the alternatives: The basis of the decision-making and is just deploying

with a high level of justice, other than a policy, which are the guidelines to channel the thinking of the command a specific address.
to make you feel valuable to the others. In assertive communication respect f prevails or self and others. Assertive Communication is the process by which ideas and feelings expressed so:
Unscheduled decision: "The restructuring of an organization" or "close an unprofitable division" are examples of non-programmed decisions, also "the creation of a marketing strategy for a new product."
Do not let them continue to make decisions based on rumors or news, such information must be obtained, perform an analysis and obtain the knowledge that under the criteria or weighted key policies that determine the organization, decisions can be supported to allow the organization to successfully deal with situations and challenges.

14. Recognizes the basic rights of the individual and respects him and others.
But specifically how is assertive communication? How can we communicate with others in this way without feeling attacked or not we give up what we want out of fear?
15. Assertiveness is innate but can be learned.
Establish good eye contact. Relaxed body position. Clear tone and steady voice. Use a vocabulary assertive: "I think", "I'm sorry", "I want". Use words of collaboration ("Let's see", "How can we resolve this?"). Demonstration of interest ("What do you think?", "What do you see?"). There is a balance between thinking and feeling.
Elements of Assertive Communication • Be direct in expressing what is required. • Tackling the problem not the person. • Specific Treat, not general. Do not give excessive explanations.
Assertive people believe that all individuals have equal rights to express themselves honestly, show that respect to others as well as themselves, even if they have opposing views. Thus, the assertive behavior increases self-esteem, leads to the development of mutual respect and to achieving one's goals without sacrificing other.
• Do not apologize more than you need. Communication Styles In our interpersonal relationships are always three ways to deal with our environment. At work if we are to succeed we must choose the Assertive Communication.
IN PASSIVE RESPONSE, PEOPLE: • Allow violate her rights; • Let others take advantage of them; • do not achieve their goals; • They get frustrated, unhappy and anxious wounded; • Showing inhibited and withdrawn, and • allow others to decide for them.
IN ASSERTIVE RESPONSE, PEOPLE • protect their own rights and respect those of others; • Achieve your goals without detriment of others; • They feel good about themselves and have confidence; • Showing sociable and emotionally expressive, and • They decide for themselves.
IN AGGRESSIVE RESPONSE, PEOPLE: • Violate the rights of others; • Achieve their goals at the expense of others; • They are belligerent, humiliate and despise others; • explosive reaction are unpredictable, hostile, angry, and • Get into the decisions of others.
49
However, assertive individuals do not always achieve what they want. You can be assertive and do something we do not want to do, if anyone really needs. Assertive people seek to achieve a balance between being overly concerned about the other - to the point of forgetting their own needs and being selfish. Assertive behavior reduces the possibility of damage, blaming or alienating others. Make known our needs and take responsibility for our actions, reduces the tendency to blame others or take revenge on them for not achieving the goals. Esteem: is a set of perceptions, thoughts, evaluations, feelings and behavioral tendencies aimed toward ourselves, to our way of being and behaving, and to the
features of our body and our character. In short, it is the evaluative perception of us. Teamwork is one of the working conditions of psychological type influences workers more positively because he allows companionship. It can give very good results, as it usually generates enthusiasm and satisfaction produces recommended tasks.
The importance of self-esteem is that concerns our being, our way of being and sense of our worth. Therefore, it can affect our way of being and acting in the world and relate to others. Nothing in the way we think, feel, decide and act escapes the influence of self-esteem. Self-esteem is a series of thoughts, behaviors and emotions directed towards oneself. What you think about you at all times, how you talk to yourself, how you treat yourself, what you do when you make a mistake, when someone criticizes you, when you succeed, when flatter you, when you fail ... All that is shaping your self-esteem.
Companies usually promote between workers a harmonious environment so beneficial results. In work teams, are developed rules that must be respected by all members of the group. They are rules of behavior established by the team members. These rules provide each individual a basis for predicting the behavior of others and prepare an appropriate response. Include the procedures used to interact with others. The role of standards in a group is a recognized status as an organized unit, and the roles of the individual members.
Thus, self-esteem is related to your way of thinking: if you think in a rational, logical and constructive way or on the contrary, make mistakes of thought, have to do with your attitude towards yourself, with your present ideas, with your self-imposed rules. If you are a rigid and inflexible person, who imposes strict rules of behavior, and overly perfectionist, it will be much more difficult to maintain a healthy self-esteem than if you're more tolerant with yourself, your mistakes and your failures.
The force that integrates the group and its cohesion is expressed on solidarity and sense of belonging that manifest its components. It is stronger and more cohesive, more likely the group share values, attitudes and common rules of conduct.
“YOUR SELF ESTEEM DEPENDS ONLY ON YOU."

Human relationships always consist of a complex network of power, hierarchy and domination and that is why today one of the most important and effective ways to make a link between individuals is the leadership function. When we talk about leadership, we are referring to people who occupy permanently or temporarily the role of leader, the one who directs the destinies of others with the idea of the common good, or at least achieve a previously established. While the idea of leadership is related mainly to the scope of work, the reality is that the importance of leadership can be made visible in a myriad of situations and ties: in friendship groups, in families, in educational settings.
General or head of the army: carried out his best performances of the need to prepare for war. Instead, they have their worst when they perceive that this war is not beneficial.
