Will You Add? - Getting Paid Sooner
Nearly 30 years ago, I was a guest panelist at a seminar about “Writing for Profit.” -- All day long,the speakers had told the attendees all about how to submit their written works to editors and publishers ... what to expect in a publisher’s contract ... how to prepare a writer’s proposal ... primarily focusing on how to “sell” what the attendees had written.At the end of the seminar, a panel of five “successful writers” ... including me ... was introduced, with a list of each writer’s works and their individual accomplishments given.The first few questions from the audience were nothing more than a rehash of some of the information pr
A badge means a patch or an accoutrement presented recognizing a feat or an accomplishment, or a simple identification. Military badges symbolize qualifications received through military training. Scouting organizations use badges to show group membership and rank. Much known among badges, the star-shaped badge of a U.S. sheriff made famous in Westerns.A wearable medal means a medal awarded by a government for services to a country. This applies to a medal of coin-like appearance, but the word also refers to an Order or decoration. A table medal means a medal awarded by an organization for services in a specific field for example the Nobel Priz
How can you avoid being the involuntary banker for slow-paying customers? This is a frequent issue in our Business Group meetings. Here are ideas from the last such discussion:
1. Get a merchant account. Have people pay you by credit card as soon as work is done. If people pay you monthly, enter their card number into your system, so you’ll bill them automatically. This costs you a couple of percentage points, but you get your money right now. It’s amazing the large amounts that businesspeople put on their cards! They want to build up their miles. We recently put a “shopping cart” on our website so that customers can enter their credit card data by themselves. They may end up buy
In common with many people today I conduct an increasing percentage of my business remotely, coming into contact with different groups of people only when the event occurs that has been the object of an email correspondence.The title of these events is normally "How To Create A Sustained Performance Improvement" and during the introduction I explore some of the problems that are currently blocking performance our performance at work.Almost invariably the answer to the opening question "What prevents you from performing at work?" is "E-mail", and the answer is normally sung out as one voice.The groups all agree on the problem and i

OK. You've posted your resume online. You've sent out a dozen copies answering classified ads. You've told everyone in your network that you're looking for a job.And nothing has happened.Now what?Since 1996, I've written/edited resumes for nearly 3,000 clients and refunded less than 3% of them for lack of results. Based on this experience, here are four ways for you to troubleshoot -- and improve -- an unsuccessful job search.1) Is your resume focused?Your resume can't be all things to all people. Make sure yours has one main focus, such as sales or computer programming. Every word in your resume should contribute to
Big companies, or small, both have benefits and disadvantages. Big company may give you a false sense of security. In large companies when they have layoffs, seem to layoff large groups, not just one or two people.The advantage of a big company is you can get lost in the crowd. You do your work, and then you are able to come home and that is it. Then on the other hand a disadvantage, is that being lost in the crowd, you will not get recognition if you are doing a job well done. In most cases the congratulations go through many mouths before ever getting to you and then is never said, usually people forget to thank a whole line of people w

2. Spell out your billing policy in your Terms and Conditions. Too many small businesses are fuzzy on this, and customers take advantage. If you don’t sound like getting paid on time is important to you, you won’t be. For example, some companies say “2% 10, net 30,” i.e., “You must pay within 30 days, and if you pay within 10 days, deduct 2% from the balance.”
