Barter - The Service Business Solution to the Post-Holiday Slump
Is your business in a post-holiday slump? It happens every year; service companies face a dip in business as consumers tighten the purse strings to compensate for holiday spending. Coupons may help bring in some business, but they can only do so much to improve the bottom line. So how do you keep your business in the black during the first months of the year? Try barter; it’s a great way to build your business, attract new cus

How To Find General Operating Grants
How to Find General Operating FundsGeneral operating money is certainly one of the more difficult categories of funding to secure, mostly because it’s a lot less appealing to the funder. Let’s face it, paying rent is not nearly as sexy as helping people fulfill their potential as human beings. However, there are unrestricted grants out there, if you know where to look.My first suggestion would be to look at your

A common marketing technique being taught by a number of different groups and marketing teams is the hard push tactic, where you give the prospect no real chance to refuse, create a massive sense of urgency and try and ensure they have no choice but to do as you wish.

I encountered this the other day with a member of the Dream Team marketing group. Now I am not in anyway trying to trash this course as I understand for some it is a good learning curve, however I have it on authority of another member that they do teach this technique.

For me it began with a couple of emails after I had enquired about the course. I was interested to see how they were teaching people to bring in 20 to 30 people a week into whatever business you were promoting. I asked that the person selling the course call me before 5pm to let me know more details. I didn't hear anything further until I walked in from being out in the wind and rain at 7.30pm, soaked to the sk

Making Time For Both Your Home Business and Your Family
I remember when I began my first business. There were just not enough hours in the day. And this was true for each of the 7 days of the week. My daughter was only 3 months old when I started that business. I was not working outside of the home.I was now looking at needing time to be a mom to my newborn daughter, be a daughter to my two wonderful parents, be a wife to my husband, take care of the household and now run a

CV Writing - Interview Guide
The interviewer hopes that YOU are the right person for the job. They are under pressure to fill the position so that they can get back to their own work. Therefore you are in a greater position of strength than you think. Concentrate on what you have to offer in the way of qualifications and experience instead of feeling intimidated.An interviewer has 3 aims:1) To learn if you are the right person

Not Satisfied With Your Transfer Agent? What to Do
Rather than sending out RFPs (Request For Proposals) and seeking out another transfer agent, it is a much better idea to try and work things out with your current agent. This is the preferable route to take for most businesses, as it is much easier than the alternatives and should be chosen if at all possible. Seeking out another transfer agent and trying to make the switch might not be worth your while if you can remedy the s

The guy asked what I was promoting and of course said what a great company it was and how the course he was going to introduce me to could explode my business. He said there was a live conference call at 8.00pm that night. I explained that I was interested but that I couldn't really attend the call that night. The guy then got very pushy saying that if I was serious about my business I would miss by dinner and attend. I said I was not prepared to do that but would attend another call if there was one in a day or so. I was told that there was no further calls for a week or so and my place had to be specially reserved. I was basically told th

In business you must develop a strong team and to do this properly you must be careful whom you pick to be on the team. Vendors are part of that team. It is not as easy as you might think picking vendors. Let me tell you a story. I take issue with some of our vendors who do not walk the talk.

It is said that “it’s not what you know, but who you know that counts”. I believe that “it is what you know that will give your head start, who you know that will get you going, who knows you (and your products or services) that will help you succeed, but what you do with your knowledge and relationships that will make you succeed.”

If you are in the midst of a transition and thinking about making a career change and you’re a top sales producer for your company, it can feel very risky to make a move; particularly if you’ve established a real strong track record in your job. Yet all of us reach a point when we know its time to move from a very good situation into the next phase of our career. I personally have experienced this on several occasions over the span of my professional life and I’m sure you have as well.
