Improving customer satisfaction is becoming more and more difficult to do. Customer demands are expectations are increasing, in our personalized world.

Digitized data, big data and predictive analytics are primarily responsible for this. This personalization started with recommendations on sites, such as Amazon and Netflix.

However, this is difficult to accomplish. It is becoming harder and harder to keep customers happy.

But with companies, like Cliintel, it is becoming easier and easier to accomplish. Watch the video to learn how we can help!

As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form.

Cosmetic treatments have been proven over time to safely reduce frown lines, crow’s feet and even to eliminate underarm perspiration, all by partially relaxing specific muscles.

Big Data And Online Grocery Shopping

28 Saturday Nov 2015

Most Americans live at a very busy pace, constantly rushing from one thing to another. This sense of urgency to do everything and be every where at once doesn’t leave much time for things like groceries. The online groceries business is one that is growing rapidly in the United States. It is extremely convenient for many busy families and working moms and dads to simply pick out what they would like online and have it delivered to their home the following day.

Big Data analytics is allowing companies to learn their customer’s habits and preferences to ensure the smoothest, easiest process possible. As consumers browse groceries on the website of the store of their choice, their activity is being monitored; allowing companies to learn about their consumer’s habits. What do they normally buy? At what time do they prefer their groceries be delivered? Are they flexible on their time of delivery or do they want it on  a specific time?

These are all things food providers can learn about each unique customer and accommodate to individual needs. The more convenient an action is, the more likely people will use it, build up a preferred company and continue to use them for years to come. Big Data helps companies become a trusted resource for people, ensuring customer retention.

The Internet of Things Is Happening Now

Almost every physical object can be connected to the internet.

We are racing forward to an era of hyper-connectivity. Objects now have the ability to communicate with each other, all using DATA!

The Internet of Things is happening now!

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term that has been thrown around for a few years now, but many of us may still not fully understand what it means.

The IoT refers to a network of physical objects or “things” that have the capabilities to both collect and exchange any amount of data. They do this through a variety of software, electronics, sensors, and network connectivity.

So many devices that we own are connected to this “Internet of Things”, and we are using this network of data everyday to make our lives easier. This includes everything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of. If it has an on and off switch, then chances are good that it is connected to the IoT.

Now that more and more objects are connected to the IoT, those objects can all communicate to optimize day-to-day practices, create new opportunities, and save us money!

This is a great video looking at 7 bind-blowing facts of the Internet of Things.

“In 2008, there were already more objects connected to the internet than people.”

“The ATM was one of the first objects of the Internet of Things, dating back to 1974.”

“This year we will have 4.9 Billion connected things.”

“By 2020, we will have 6.1 Billion smartphone users.”

“The global market for wearable devices has grown 223% in 2015.”

“By 2020, a quarter of a billion vehicles will be connected to the internet.”

“All of these devices collect and transmit data, contributing to our Big Data world!”

The more we know about the Internet of Things, the more we can use it along with Big Data to save us time and money!

The No. 1 Secret to a Great Relationship… Play More!

The No. 1 Secret to a Great Relationship… PLAY MORE!

When I first came to the city of Boca Raton several years ago, I utilized the quote “Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” on many of my media materials. I chose that quote as I felt that much of what was just SO WRONG with most relationships was the fact that many couples had just stopped playing with one another!

It seems that life just gets in the way after the initial stages of relationship for many couples. Once the babies, bills and just plain mundane of life and relationship gets in the way, people just simply forget to incorporate PLAY into their daily routines of living together as a couple.

Think back about what first attracted you to your partner in the beginning. I’m pretty sure there must have been a hook, you know, the initial attraction that you had for your partner. Whether it hit you like a ton of bricks when you first laid eyes on each other, or it was a friendship that deepened and turned to love, surely there were those sweet, small nuances of romance, lust and PLAY between the two of you.

You may be thinking, “OK, thats all well and good, but those behaviors between us were so long ago, we’re not the same people anymore.” That’s true, you are not the same people. However, hopefully you have grown together over the years, there may be children, trips you’ve taken, hurdles you’ve overcome, holidays, illness, happy times, disappointments perhaps, homes bought and sold, different cities, gifts exchanged, intimacy and sexual relationship, all of these experiences lived between the two of you… those all count as memories and life lived, all equating to time put into the marriage or relationship.

So then what happened? Why does it just seem to feel like your marriage or relationship has lately, just appeared to have plain out “Flat-lined” into the dulldrums? First of all, take a minute to sit down and think about this. As they say it “takes two to tango.” What part do you play in the script of your marriage or relationship? What is your partners role in this script? Perhaps the both of you have stopped “Playing” with one another.

They say that the most desirable thing in the world is to be desired. Sometimes a partner will pull back and not initiate play if they feel that their partner isn’t making any attempts at romance or playfullness. Big Mistake, someone has to get off the hamster wheel of going nowhere. If you recognize yourself in this scenario and want to try and get back the “Play” I suggest taking some small baby steps to re-writing the script between the two of you.

For starters… make sure that you acknowledge each others needs. Communication is not a term to be considered overrated. It is the key to a great and loving relationship. Here are some quick points to help jump-start your relationship back into the Play Zone!

Incorporating ways to begin flirting with your partner again:

1. Text or call once a day. Make it more interesting than , what do you want to eat for dinner!

2. Get to know your partner again, on a daily basis if possible. What is on your partner’s agenda, what are their hopes, wishes, dreams, concerns, worries….Who the heck are you married to today?

3. Express your own needs to your partner. Make sure that they hear you.

4. Set a “date night” to get away from the kids or the hum drum of life, go to the beach, the movies, a concert, the gun range, a hike, hot air rides, diivng with tthe sharks….I don’t care what you do…Just Do Something together! Your brain actually creates new synapses when you “Do Things Together” promoting the release of oxytocin and other chemicals in your body that increase the physical and chemical bonding between you as a couple.

5. No one else can help you to re-create your marriage. This a job that only you can do together. First you have to want to make some changes in your relationship. Secondly, you have to do the work.

Good luck and keep in touch…

Holiday Travel

27 Friday Nov 2015

The traveling industry is welcoming Big Data with open arms for they can use it to track traveling trends and determine when they will be the busiest. This type of information allows companies such as Southwest to determine the optimal time to raise prices or offer deals. Depending on the demand for flights during a certain time period, the airline companies can raise prices and be confident that people will still buy purchase them. This is why we are always told to book our flights with plenty of time in advance; the airlines know that those who wait until the last minute to buy a flight are desperate and will pay whatever is necessary.

Airlines look at the big data to determine which days throughout the year tend to be most heavily traveled and which days people prefer not to travel on. The cheapest days to fly are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. These days are less expensive than the others because these are the days people don’t necessarily like to travel on. They are inconvenient and therefore less desirable. More sought after days will cost more money, especially around the holidays. Data has shown that there is the most widespread travel between Thanksgiving and New Years. The holidays are when people take extra time to visit family and loved ones they don’t otherwise get to see. Airlines know this and increase their prices knowing that people won’t put a price on seeing their family for the holidays.

Not only the airline industry can use big data to rake in some extra cash. Consumers can look up the data on when airlines raise and drop flights to save themselves some dough on booking their next travel accommodations. As we are right around the corner from this holiday season, hopefully everyone has been proactive, looked at the data and have scored great prices on their tickets home!
