The 7 P's of Business Phone Etiquette
Etiquette is in essence about proper conduct and presenting yourself favourably. Demonstrating good etiquette is important if one seeks to be successful. An area in which this is essential is the business phone call. Millions of business phone calls are made every hour and day. Business people that interact solely over the phone yet never meet still form strong opinions of one another. Practising good business phone etiquette helps encourage clear

Why do some people ruin a perfectly good business networking opportunity by exhibiting “foot-in-mouth syndrome”? They risk alienation of the very people they paid good money to meet by behaving in a manner that makes them seem unprofessional.

There are many good, informative articles about the basics of networking, how to prepare, what to say and whom to look for. This article will look beyond the “how to” aspects and focus on “what NOT to do” when participating in business networking functions.

5 Business Networking Rules -- What NOT to do:

1. Monopolize one person with your very specific questions, problems or opinions.

2. Expect free professional advice.

3. Correct, admonish, belittle, or otherwise denigrate another person either in-person or in absentia.

4. Badger anyone into scheduling a meeting.

5. Donate a “door prize” for the purpose of getting a captive audience for a sales presentation.

Now that you know what not to do, what are the corrections, what is it that you want to do instead? Here are a few solutions:

1. Monopolize one person
If you have been trying to contact a specific person and you see them at the event, this could be the perfect opportunity to introduce yourself, ask them a few questions, talk about how you may be able to help each other and finally ask if it would be OK if you called them next Monday to follow-up. This is definitely not the time to give a sales presentation or try to close the deal.

2. Expect free professional advice
A networking event is not the time to buttonhole a businessperson and ask them how to handle a specific problem. Recently a networker asked a lawyer if his business needed trademark or copyright protection. Her reply was “This is something I can help you with, but did you know that you can go to a free government web site for basic information on copyrights, patents and trademarks?” She created a win/win with her response and diffused the free advice hound.

5 Things NOT to Do With Upset Customers
A couple of months ago I had a small kitchen fire in my home. All is well now, but for a few days my family and I camped out in a hotel room and once we returned home we had no oven (it was destroyed in the fire) so we were forced to eat every meal out for several days.On the day of the fire two representatives from the insurance company told me to "Hold on to your meal receipts, send them to us and we'll cover your meals plus sales tax."

How To Manifest Your Desires
Tired of barely making ends meet, not having enough money so that you can spend time with your family? Look around and you will notice that 97% of americans live like that. They run out every morning like someone who is a robot, and punch a clock or work on salary. And earn just ten percent of what they are worth, while the boss of the company they work for is enjoying the wealth that they are providing for them.I know you probably won't believe it w

Now that you know what not to do, what are the corrections, what is it that you want to do instead? Here are a few solutions:

Do You Earn What You Deserve?
Are you satisfied with your salary? You would be an exception, if you answered this question with yes. A survey among bank employees has shown that they are not satisfied with their salaries. They find that they should earn more money for their work. Do you know that the bank employees are the best paid category of employees worldwide?What is the conclusion of this survey? Everybody does not earn enough money, if even the bank employees do not.<

Fired or Downsized?
Last time the used car salesman pitched a lemon at you, he called the high price tag an "investment." Didn't sound so bad did it? He gift wrapped his words.When you were fired, they called it a strategic downsizing. Now that didn't make you any better off... but it sure sounded nicer than being "fired"Euphemisms are efficient linguistic tactics to counter objections. The key is to redefine certain words in an antagonist's statement such that h

3. Correct, admonish or otherwise belittle
Situation: Tom and Jane were in a loose group of five people discussing various business opportunities. Jane (an executive search consultant) mentioned that she was looking to place a particular type of person in a job. Tom immediately responded that the manner in which she spoke was not within the legal parameters of employment law. The other three people in the group were instantly aware of the conflict Tom introduced, and when he proceeded to argue points about the law, they excused themselves from the conversation. This “foot-in-mouth” syndrome was proved when upon further discussion he acknowledged that the situation was not what he had assumed and she was indeed acting well within the legal parameters of the law.

4. Badger anyone into scheduling a meeting

Occasionally attendees may set a goal for themselves of scheduling “x” appointments with people they meet at the networking event. While having goals relating to networking is great, perhaps a better goal would be to identify “x” prospects for follow-up phone calls or emails. Your prospect will appreciate the fact that you value their time.

5. Donate a door prize
Door prizes are a fun way to end the evening. A free dinner, bottle of wine, book or gift certificate is always a hit with the recipient and they will remember your generosity. But companies who “donate” a consultation for the purpose of giving a sales presentation quickly gain a reputation for manipulation which is a sure kiss of death in the networking community. So, please, do give door prizes and make sure that there are no strings attached!

When sourcing a new press brake the buyer's goal should be to match the equipment to their expected requirements and use, plus get the best value for their investment. This means obtaining an excellent quality product with proper features at an affordable cost. Also, just looking at initial cost can sometime be deceiving as life cycle costs should be accounted for that includes maintenance costs and efficiency of labor in using the press brake.
