Make a Difference - Sweat the Small Stuff First
My background is in retail management - yes, running stores, from tiny ones you couldn't swing the proverbial cat around in, to huge three floor jobs. Yet there are some guiding principles which, like Giuliani did for New York, that make a difference on a smaller scale. Guiding principles which make a huge, possibly unseen difference to your customers and no less so to your employees.I'd like to suggest that, on the basis of 20% of the focus gives you 80% of the return, acting in just two areas of fine detail will make all the difference in a retail bus

How to Get a FREE Computer, Scale & Printer from DHL
UPS, FedEx and DHL all have programs in place to provide higher volume shippers with computers, printers and scales to process their shipments. The problem for most small businesses is that they can not meet the volume requirements to qualify for the program. The rate discounts offered often fluctuate based on the weekly or monthly volume. This causes problems because the business doesn’t know exactly what their shipping expense is going to be. If their volume drops too low they are penalized by being placed on book rates. If you know the right people yo

The good news is that there are thousands of people looking for what you offer. The bad news is that those people are extremely tough to attract not to mention that your very livelihood depends on it. It's a scary thought when you think about it. And many don't. Some are simply ignorant to the marketing realities. For others the expense and complexity associated with any kind of formal marketing effort is simply too intimidating. They rely souly on word-of-mouth. The fact is, word-of-mouth is great, fabulous, wonderful and not enough if you're serious about growing your business.

It's an important question because if you don't truly believe in the power of smart marketing you'll sabotage anything you try...like driving with the brake on.

My First Year In Cyber Space

Advertising Made Easy - The Promotional Tote Bag
We have all heard of and are cognizant of the multiple benefits of using promotional products as an advertising tool. The array of available items to choose from can be overwhelming. However, promotional tote bags are one of the most versatile and multi-purpose items your company can adopt for a giveaway campaign.

Determine your Objective and Budget.

Like any investment it involves planning and patience. You start by establishing a realistic objective and then determine what it takes to achieve it. That takes the analysis of several factors such as:

o the industry you're in

o the maturity of your business.

o the specific product or service being offered.

o the target audience.

o the competitive environment.

o timing.

So, what does it all cost? Again, it depends on what your short and long term goals are. For some, 5% of annual sales may be plenty to invest. For others 10% may not be enough. Once you determine your goal it's easier to determine the budget you need to achieve it.

Good vs. Great vs. Do-It-Yourself.

"Good" marketing isn't good enough. "Good" marketing, which is most of what you see, does only half the job. It informs people but doesn't touch them emotionally. And if you don't touch them emotionally they won't buy your product. It doesn't matter if you have th

You find them in all spheres of society – in cubicles, on the shop floor, on the sports field, in the marching crowd of protesters, as huge as in the CEO-chair, yet as small as on the nursery school playground. They are the minority group of people impacting on the majority of society – whether positive or negative – but they are of one breed: the leaders. However, the real leaders – those who make it to be examples in the business bestsellers – have one particular commonality that is easy to spot: MATURITY.

A career in the medical profession is a challenge, adventure and competition. One can belong to any of the fields of medical science. One can be a doctor, medical officer, pharmaceutical manager, administrator of a hospital, nurse, medical transcriptor, medical biller, medical coder and much more. However, medical careers are particularly related to the manufacturing, business administrative and management fields of medicine. Among all the careers, one of the most intriguing and interesting fields is that of medical coding.

There is a clear distinction between “wanting” something and “being ready” to do the work to achieve it. Unfortunately, this applies to many, if not most, new career seekers. Let this be a call to action!
