    Injection Molding-How Plastic is Molded
    Plastic has, quite literally, become the cornerstone of our society. We make so many things from plastic that it is hard to imagine what our lives would be like if it was never invented. With so many of our everyday products being made of plastic, it is easy to understand why plastic injection molding is such a huge industry.Approximately 30% of all plastic products are produced using an injection molding process. Of this 30%, a large amount of these

    Enhance Your Business Communication Skills
    (Say What You Mean and Get What You Want!)Great business communication skills requires learning to say exactly what you mean and saying it in a way to get a desired outcome that is beneficial for both the business contact and your home based business. Many times we send cross signals in our communications because we ourselves are not completely sure how to convey our thoughts properly. We know what we want to say but are unabl
    Have you ever had the client from hell? The one who has been with you for some time, maybe from the beginning, that every time you do a project for them they put you through so much grief that you feel like taking a flying leap from the top of a freeway overpass?

    Well my friend, DON'T JUMP - FIRE THAT CLIENT!

    It may sound like an unusual bit of advice, fire a client, but let's take a look at what a very difficult client does to our business.

    I know you are saying, but I make a lot of money from that guy - hang on there is an alternative.

    Yesterday I was working with a guy who was working on a project for a client. During the time I was there he received at least four calls with the client asking him to change this and tweak that. Each time he got off of the phone, he let fly with a tirade of reasons why this client was a pain in the neck.

    So I asked him. "Well, why not fire that client?" He looked at me as if I were crazy. He began to say that he had been with this guy for three years and blah, blah, blah. So I told him the following:

    Look, you said that each project you work on with this client is a three hour project that turns into a three day project because of changes and follow up and approvals and the like. In three days I am guessing that you could complete nine projects of the same size and value. Not only that, each time that phone rings, your stress level goes through the roof, so you have to re-adjust after each call before you can even make the changes.

    To which he replied:

    Well, I know that this guy is a sure thing and will give me business every month. There have been times when that business was there when I did not have any other stuff going on.

    So I said:

    OK then, if you do not want to fire the client, it is time to change the terms of the working relationship. You could instead write or re-write a contract that states that after a specified amount of change that each additional change will incur an additional charge. At least then you would be compensated for the extra stress to a degree.

    He agreed that he might need to do that. He said however, to present this client with a contract after three years would not be acceptable. They had worked all of this time without one.

    So my final answer was this:

    You are faced with a decision of three items.

    Item One: Fire the Client or continue to go through the stress that it brings to continue to work with him.

    Item Two: Re-define the relationship through contractual agreement that at least compensates you for the extra time and grief

    or

    Item Three: Adjust your attitude to accept this client for the evil person that he is. Realize that no matter how stressed you get, he will not change. Feel pity for him and each time the phone rings with yet another change, say to yourself " I am smart, I am good-looking, and people like me for who I am."

    Choose The Office Furniture That Is Right For You
