    Certified Employee Benefits Specialists
    Employee benefits specialists are people who specialize in employee benefits and are certified by the International Society of Certified Employee Benefits Specialists. They include Pension Analysts from the American society of Pension Actuaries. The employee benefit administrator helps in planning and designing the relevant documents, monitoring and testi

    Seven Dandy Uses for Video Surveillance Cameras
    Who says video surveillance cameras are only for crime prevention? Used the right way and stationed properly, they can be a very fearsome tool for marketing and advertising. Experts the whole world over are now utilizing video surveillance cameras to make better informed decisions about safety, check compliance to standards, rake in more sales, and improv
    I bought a place about 4 years ago using a realtor here in Phoenix (there are over 65,000 realtors in this city now).

    Since I bought the place and she got her commission, she's never sent me one card, picked up the phone one time or sent me ANYTHING of value at all.


    Instead she sends out these “piece of garbage”, generic letters with the unprofessional white
    office labels printed on an office laser printer by her secretary. In the letters she includes a meaningless
    generic flyer that is provided by the parent company and a form letter with filler information that’s not
    even signed by this woman and her partner. Of course in the letter she asks for referrals and the
    opportunity to work with me again. Do you think I am going to give this woman anything
    beyond an unfavorable hand gesture? Nope.

    This is the problem that most business owners fall into when it comes to communicating with clients,
    and I want you to be aware of it when you communicate so you’re getting the most out of your
    time, effort and money.

    By communicating with me in this impersonal, almost spam-like approach, the realtor is making
    one thing overwhelming clear to me – she doesn’t give a darn about me, she just wants me to
    buy from her. This realtor treats me like a customer: she sells and I buy, that’s the way the
    customer relationship is. No one likes being treated like a customer, and that’s why I will

    What Does Your Executive Committee Do
    At some point in the development of most Non-Profit organizations, the question of whether they need an Executive Committee arises. Usually this is the result of one of the following situations:1) Board members have seen Executive Committees on other boards so they form one because "that's the way it's done". 2) The founding or dominant m

    How To Get Promoted : 9 Obvious And Often Not Practiced Tips
    It would be safe to say that you would have probably entertained the question of how to get promoted even before you graduated or left school. In my chats with juniors from my industry, I am often asked this question which I gladly answer. However, I sense they simply want short cuts to the next level. These experiences pushed me to pen these 9 obvious

    Find Out If You Will Be Successful As A Franchisee?
    Will I be successful as a franchisee?One of the soundest pieces of advice to take when considering becoming a franchisee is to ‘Assess Yourself’. Assess whether you can accept direction. Some people cannot. Assess whether you can work within definite systems and structures without feeling trapped. Assess if you are committed to the franchise

    Here's How To Avoid The 3 Most Common Affiliate Mistakes
    Mistake number 1: Choosing the wrong affiliate.Many people want to earn from affiliate marketing as fast as possible. In their rush to be part of one, they tend to choose a bandwagon product. This is the kind of products that the program thinks is “hot”. They choose the product that is in demand without actually considering if the product appeals t

    What you’ll want to do is to communicate and treat your people like clients, or even fans.
    Instead of mailing out junk to people, your communication needs to be personal, meaningful,
    consistent and relevant to your audience. Communicate with your clients by showing that
    you care about them
    . Give them real value, provide them with information that they care
    about, not home-made form mails and generic flyers that they’ll throw away.

    In the context of this example, the form letter and generic flyer are not purposeful, meaningful
    or relevant. She’s consistent, I’ll give her that. But a dog can consistently go to the bathroom
    on the rug, but that doesn’t make it a good thing
    .

    If you want to keep in the forefront of your client’s minds, if you want to show them that you
    care for them and you hope to continue to get referrals and business from them, make sure you
    send out info your clients want. Whether it’s a blog, email, mailed letter, post card, etc., if what you
    send out is personal, meaningful, and relevant – you’ve got a winner, if not, don’t send it.
