Are You Forgetting About Marketing?
In the past issues we have discussed how passive income streams can help you make full time salary, without having to work full time. However, for your passive income streams strategy to be successful, you need one element to make that happen. This element is marketing.Your passive income streams are products that your customers buy. The

In my younger days I was a member of the Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce). Membership at the time was limited to young men 21-35. In Tacoma, our largest fundraiser was the yearly fireworks stand.

Near the end of June we would sign a contract for an order of fireworks based on the previous year's sales. The fireworks company would deliver the modular panels of the fireworks stand to its location (the same street corner each year), and we would screw and wire it together.

The fireworks chairman would schedule husbands and wives for their shifts and we would all do our duty. It wasn't hard work. Actually, it was fun. We talked and joked with each other as we waited for customers, just like most businesses. We cleaned up our messes and sometimes like little children we would set off a few fireworks from time to time to alleviate boredom. The last crew would generally close up and then cross the street to the Mountain Tavern for a beer or two and a game of pool.

In selling fireworks we would see single adult males, parents, grandparents and children . . . lots of children. The fireworks were labeled "safe and sane" so we could legally sell fireworks to any age. Most of us had grown up playing with fireworks both legal and illegal.

It didn't take me long to develop my sales attitude. Having worked at my parents' motel from the seventh grade up to college, I knew about selling to the public. And as the son of small business owners I knew how important each sale was. For the Jaycees this was the fundraiser that allowed us to run many of our projects during the year, and we had a whole bunch of community projects.

Starting a New Business? Plan Accordingly
Last year, I was approached by a small group of people who had recently quit their jobs at a company that manufactured commercial food processing equipment. They became disillusioned with their employer due to lack of efficiency in production, marketing, and a general atmosphere of disorganization. The leader of the group felt they could "b

Leads Groups or Power Teams - How Can You Use Them Effectively
Leads groups can be just as powerful as a Power Team if you are able to work them properly. I try to scout out as many lead groups as I can and before making any commitment, I like to gather the cards of each member and set an introductory appointment. I explore what they do and who their best customer is. I also let them know what I do and w

Yellow Page Advertising Gone Bad
Many people believe that yellow page advertising is the best possible advertising for a new business, but let me tell you I have heard some horror stories in my past. In fact let me tell you about one story, which is pretty much unforgivable. I was told by a Yellow Page Advertising Representative that the book closed in two days and if I did n

Management Malpractice Is A Reality We Don't Have To Accept
Business ethics are rare in today’s world of rampant organizational abuse and management malpractice. According to recent surveys, such as the National Business Ethics Survey, more than 50 percent of all employees in the United States observe misconduct or unethical behavior at work, but most of them do not report it because they fear retaliati

When kids came up to the stand they would usually take all of their money out of their pockets. With money in hand they would make their purchasing decisions. Since I could easily see what they had to work with, I could put together special packages for them that magically took every single penny from their eager little paws. They were thrilled. I was thrilled.

When the parents and grandparents came I would listen and watch the interaction of the adults to the children and judge my packages accordingly. I would fine-tune my pitch when it was time to give them their change. My goal was always to take every penny . . . sometimes that meant selling a single punk. I always tried.

This is the same mentality it takes in negotiation. I hate to leave money on the table, unless I figure it's seed-money that I can get later. Now, don't get the idea that I take unfair advantage of people. I give value for value. It's just that I want those pennies and if I know they’re there, I try to get them. Isn't that what sales and negotiation is about? Getting every penny should always be our goal.

Are you happy where you are today? The number of folks who appear completely happy in their present career seems very low from all that I read across the news -- TV; newspaper; magazines, etc.

You've worked hard to get your business up and running and you are starting to get a good customer base – so how do you make sure that they do not forget you?

In the 21st Century, more and more organizational leaders have come to understand that happy, respected employees, empowered by their managers to meet and exceed customer expectations, provide the best service and feel more personally fulfilled by their work.
