Add You - The Internet -- The World's Greatest Telephone for the Success of Your Business
We were impressed with South Western Colorado as a good place to hang your hat and a pretty good place to run a business. Great labor supply, good transportation and excellent tourist flows. The town is growing in Cortez and up the hill in Durango as well. Their nearest trading partners Montrose and Farmington NM also helped with money flows to the area. We like the area and thought it was completely economically viable and an excellent choice especially for manufacturing.About the only drawback is the drug issue in the region, but that is with any US City really. It was not as bad there as we have seen in border cities, desert cities of big cities in other parts of the US. We talked with police and city officials about this and they admitted it was an issue, but felt they had a pretty good handle on it and were working hard to clean things up and that it is no longer a growing problem. They know who the bad apples are and they keep an eye on them. Anyway that reminded us of a conversation we had with the City of Cortez Economic Developm

It is a well-documented fact that at least 2 out of every 5 applications contain one major fabrication. What the employer doesn't know can, and almost certainly will, have a tremendous impact on that organization!Dr. Julian Cano, Ed.D, a Clinical Psychologist of 30 years, once said that we are all taught from birth both to lie as well as catch lies. He reasons that most people have the necessary skills and abilities to effectively lie to others and to tell when someone is lying to them in return. Dr. Cano adds that it can also be morally and socially acceptable to lie, but at the same time, unacceptable to indicate to others that they are being untruthful! This is absolutely true and it describes perfectly, a paradox specific to the hiring process.Obviously, 40% of all job applicants feel it's OK to misrepresent the truth in one way or another. The candidate can easily rationalize to his or herself that they are lying in their own interest and that the deception puts no burden upon the employer; no one gets hurt in the lie.
To focus, business owners must first ask themselves two questions: As a business owner, what am I trying to achieve?
Marry your answers to the diverse communications capabilities of the World Wide Web; you will inevitably create some powerful and highly beneficial new initiatives.
In exploring strategies for success in the developing environment, it is essential to recognize a fact that is often overlooked: The Internet is fundamentally a new communications vehicle. As a consequence, a large part of its value arises because it permits cost-effective communications — down the street or on a worldwide basis—that were not possible before its emergence.
Why is this so important? Because many people have a very different view of the World Wide Web. They will suggest that the Web is an entertainment medium —something that has more in common with the television than the telephone. This focus is easy to appreciate; the typical person is more interested in the new offerings on the Web that can entertain him or her than the less exciting details of enhanced communications capabilities. In addition, Internet use is the first activity in over forty years that has been clearly documented as something that causes people to spend less time watching television. It's therefore natural to think of it as a substitute for this medium.
Benefits of Internet Telephony to Your Business:
1) Availability Completely under Customer Control. With the internet, visitors—potential customers —come to Web sites at their convenience, making them far more receptive to what companies have to say because the customers aren't being intruded upon (as happens with telemarketing).

Vanity can be a good thing, it gets you noticed. Without being noticed, you lack the oomph to bring traffic and business to your site, and your prosperity lags. If your vanity hasn’t been shining lately, it’s time to plump your identity up, buff your brand out, and show a brand new identity off.Let’s get cracking…1. Put on a new glow.Have you checked out that photo recently? If it’s faded, showing age, and indicating a you that hasn’t been out in the sun recently, get a new one. Take a new snapshot, puff it up with some photo imaging, and add a sparkle. Give it a color glow and let it shine.2. Tweak your intro.That elevator speech you’ve been using may sound a little tired even to your ear. Add some new words, increase the fluctuation in your voice, and jazz it up with some new energy. Spiffing it up a bit by adding a new service, just a word or two about how well you like your new project, may be all that’s needed to bring your brand up to speed.3. Spit shine your front page.Tired websites somet

Surveys have shown that speaking before an audience is one of the most common fears among people from all walks of life. In talking to many individuals over the years who harbor this fear, I’ve often heard them say, “I’m just not a good speaker.” Those words imply that they believe the ability to speak in front of an audience is determined at birth.As with just about any skill, to a great extent that’s true. Natural ability is always helpful. But natural ability is not what carries the day.One of the best speakers I’ve heard in a long time is Michael Cloud, who is also a first-class speechwriter. A couple of weeks after I heard him speak, Michael sent me an excellent article he wrote titled “The 7 Deadly Public Speaking Sins ... and How to Avoid Them.”I don’t have room to review all seven sins here, but I can tell you that the first deadly sin he lists is the failure to practice properly. He says that a lot of speakers simply don’t practice enough. Others practice cavalierly and haphazardly, merely goi

Toll free numbers are no longer only for big corporations. If you have a business today, and want to be seen as serious, you absolutely need a toll free number.Why do you need an 800 number? Here are only a few of the reasons:Your customers will know they are valued: after all, you are footing the bill for their benefit.

We have many roles in life. Not only are we business owners, but we’re moms, dads, siblings, friends, sons and daughters. All of our roles share space with the limited amount of time in our day. Add on to that the unlimited possibilities of how to grow your business and you’ve got the perfect situation for overwhelm.Here are three common causes of overwhelm and how to fix them:1. Trouble saying no. Do you often find you’re saying yes to every request for your time? Why do you think that is? Sometimes we don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings by saying no. Other times we might fear the other person’s reaction if we tell them we can’t do what they are asking of us.You are not selfish if you say no to requests for help. It is important not to give so much of yourself away that you completely deplete yourself and are unable to do the important things. Also, it’s important to realize that saying no doesn’t have to be confrontational. You can let the person know that you want to help out, but that you can’t schedule anything else

3) Reduced Effort, Time, and Cost. The Web makes things easy and affordable.
Not all businesses are currently bringing in added profit via the Web yet; nonetheless, every business needs to be working on it in order to be competitive today.
The Web makes it possible for companies both large and small to develop new communications processes that save time and money while enabling faster responses to customer needs.
Many industries rely on widely distributed field sales forces that may consist of independent agents or company employees. In today's fast-moving business environment, providing these frontline soldiers with the most up-to-the-minute information and the best possible tools and support is critical to success, and by using the Web, companies can do so at far lower cost.
