There are a lot of orthotic devices available in the market today. Examples are Sof Sole Josh Richardson Womens Jersey , Spenco, and Dr. Scholl聮s shoe insoles.

What you don聮t know is that every step you take, whether you are walking or running Alonzo Mourning Womens Jersey , has a great impact on your foot. The shock your foot gets every time it lands is absorbed by your heels and transferred to the bones and muscles. The cumulative effects of this stress could affect the health of your feet, ankles, and legs. Foot protection in the form of shoe insoles have been designed to limit the amount of force your feet receives.

When I was doing some work for Business Link in Kent, one of our evenings was spent at a hotel that reminded me so much of Ron Zemky's work.


Ron is the author of the ?Tales of Knock Your Socks Off Service? books. Ron describes customer service as being made up of two dimensions ? outcome and process.


What Ron is saying is that there can be a range of product outcomes. From expectation not met Josh Richardson Authentic Jersey , through met and up to value added. There are also a range of processes ranging from dissatisfied, through satisfied and up to delighted.


Ron charts customer reactions to various combinations of outcome and process. At the very lowest level, the customer is going to be gone. A slight improvement in either dimension can still leave a customer searching for a new supplier. Moving up a level still leaves customers at risk from competitors. Another level creates loyal customers. Ron's ultimate combination of Product and Process creates advocates.


Ron's work came sharply to mind at this particular hotel. It was a nice hotel. Good facilities Alonzo Mourning Authentic Jersey , easy to find, comfortable rooms. And when we visited the restaurant that evening the food was excellent. In fact it was one of the best meals that I've had in a long time.


But it was all let down on process.


We waited almost three hours for our meal. There was no apology from the waiter or waitress. In fact they were both quite surly. And when our meal finally arrived, one of the orders was wrong. One of our party ended up waiting another 15 minutes for the right meal and then had the embarrassment of eating whilst the rest of us had finished.


What can we learn from this?
