    Turtles Deliver the Internal Mail
    The Corporate Events Manager at a leading high tech firm requested one of my demonstration videos.I sent it promptly by Federal Express. Later, I checked the FedEx website (www.fedex.com) to track progress. The site provides instantaneous information, telling me my package was delivered at 9:27 am the very next day. Two days later I sent an e-mail to the manager, asking for her feedback on the video.‘I haven’t received it yet,’ she wrote back. ‘We have Turtle Mail inside this company. I should get your package b

    Hiring A Technical Saleperson - Avoid The Usual Expensive And Frustrating Mistake
    A question that has caused difficulty for many companies which need to recruit a technical sales representative is knowing which is the better choice, a candidate with technical qualifications but little sales experience or an experienced sales person without knowledge of your technical or scientific product.There is not one answer, although if there’s doubt, I’d take a guy who can prove to you that he has produced good sales results elsewhere.Some environments do require sophisticated knowledge of a specialis
    When you start a small business and you want to expand the number of customers quickly enough to pay for your expenses and payroll with a little excess it may take several weeks, months or even years depending on the size of the business and the industry you are in. In this article, we will show you how to shorten your timeline by a matter of weeks, or months and increase your cash flow which will help you to sustain your new business goals or expand beyond what you initially expected. Three things you need to remember are:

    1. Sales Target

    Initially you will have created a business plan, financials and determined monthly sales targets, as well as expenses and profit summaries. However, you must look very closely at your sales targets, some people think that well if we can get .5% to 1% of the local market in the first year or few months we will be okay and expand from there. But getting that initial 1% may be the hardest, because there is no traffic flow to your door. Nobody knows who you are and why they should go to you unless you have spent enough time previously working with friends, relatives and potential customers to show them a potential reason to choose your business over the current one in the market and give them incentive to initiate that decision.

    2. Customer Base

    You will need to develop your customer base, but if you have no customer base you will have to gain a customer base, 1 customer at a time. How can you do this quicker to increase sales to cover expenses and provide a greater profit?

    Your Business Or Your Life
    When you run your own business you are your own master and your own slave.There are always more things to do than you have the time or money to manage. How you are able to cope with this situation determines whether you have a chance of becoming a successful business owner.Two opposing styles cause the most problems. One is doing everything your master demands of you. The other is rebelling against these demands and abusing your freedom.Renee is her own slave. She works over eighty hours a week and eats,

    When Customer Rewards Programs Backfire
    Many business marketing gurus will advise businesses to set up a customer rewards program. However this is not always a very wise idea. For instance if you do not have a loyal customer base and you start an awards program to increase your loyalty you may find that your competition does the exact same thing and since they have a larger customer database and more loyal customers this will backfire on you.Just because a business tactic works in some industries does not mean that all industries should adopt it and just b

    Tips for Successful Interview
    Every young person has a dream to get job in a big company. And interview for an anticipated post has become a very important step in one’s professional life. Despite trying their best for this moment things go wrong for most of the candidates.

    You must offer initial incentives better in the market than other companies in the beginning or provide a greater service so that it spreads word of mouth quickly. Several companies have done this successfully, others have not. For example, in Canada, a company called the Brick, started in Alberta did so through offering great service and follow up, then great prices, then massive weekend sales with T.V. advertising. They did it slowly with 2 generations, but they did it continuously expanding and in a planned growth manner. The customers they developed told other customers, and they got good deals on items that were new to the market and something families needed and used whether it was electronics or furniture. It takes time initially, but you must have a good program or plan in place that drives incentives for customers to use your business, and then tell others and then come back to purchase more.

    3. Product Comparison, Quality, Service, Selection

    This is the nuts and bolts of the plan to market your business! What price are you going to charge, and how does that compare to others in your local market. If your prices are higher do you provide extra service, extra quality, extra guarantees? If you are offering better pricing, can you still cover your costs and make a profit?

    Imagine a tale of two stores, one no longer in business and the other called Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart was not always the biggest player. Sam Walton had to help others drive and develop th
