Will You Add? - Help Your Boss Help You Get Training You Need
Jay Conrad Levinson coined the term guerrilla marketing, which I define as low-cost, creative and typically self-implemented public relations techniques.Here are a few thoughts that might spawn some ideas for your own business.* When you can't get in to see a prospect, try clipping half a $20 bill in a note to her. You get 20 minutes of her time and she gets the rest of the $20 when the meeting is over.* Prior to a trade show, visit the town's largest taxi company, and tell them to alert drivers you will have secret shoppers riding in taxis. If the taxi driver mentions your company and

4. Put It All Together. Make the training you crave happen for you.

One of the most important things in business is to protect your company's information from competitors and personal information of employees, vendors and executives from Identity Theft and yet Franchisors are required to put personal information in the UFOC Uniform Franchise Offering Circulars. It is a catch 22 for Business Executive Management, on one hand you must follow the rules and on another hand you are being set up for Identity Theft.What is the answer? Well the answer is to be very careful who you disclose this information too. Although realize that there are now UFOC resellers and governme
After all, training is one of the primary actions that your company enlists to improve performance, profitability and growth. Any way you slice it, more education increases the potential for higher earnings for all concerned.
1. Know Yourself: You can't rely on your company to discover the talents and value of every employee. Don't wait for your boss to solve the training quandary alone. Help your boss to help you and the company. Take charge.
You bring your own unique blend of expertise, experience and personality to your job. Your education has gone beyond puberty, pimples and public education. Begin by understanding yourself. Realistically appraise yourself on a regular basis in order to continuously learn and grow over time.
Analyze what are you doing today to ensure that you have a job tomorrow. Don't live day-by-day, hoping your job is still available tomorrow and wondering what you will do if it isn't? Predict your potential for earnings as well as corporate contributions with the skills you now possess. As Will Durant said, "Education is the progressive discovery of our own ignorance." ...
Consider your strengths as well as weaknesses. Many people, bosses included, assume that personal development is about addressing weaknesses. Not so. It's also about leveraging strengths. If you have acknowledged strengths, show your boss how you can take it to the next level.
To add to your arsenal, you can even go outside the organization for objective appraisals. Perhaps your boss is willing to pay for one or more evaluations.
Invest in the renown Myers-Briggs test which is part of several CMC seminars. In addition to helping you to determine how you behave as one of sixteen classic personality types, it will help you to answer fundamental questions about yourself including: Where is your source of energy? How do you perceive information? How do you make decisions? Do you prefer your lifestyle to be organized or flexible?
Or you can gain insights from Canadian Management Centre's DISC Survey test. It will help you to understand the degrees to which you are directive, contemplative, influencing and supportive.
2. Know Your Boss and the Company. Once this has been accomplished, you are ready to focus on the needs of your boss and corporation. Doing so will demonstrate how your training will be in their best interests.
Step into the shoes of your boss. Show the connection between the training experience, acquiring new skills and job success.
Correlate your training aspirations to company objectives productivity targets, quality aspirations, anticipated changes, regulatory demands and contribution to the company's bottom line. Press the right executive button by using Return on Investment (ROI) to justify your training investment.
3. Know Your Training Options. Now your are ready to consider the advantages of the training options available to you. Choose CMC's face-to-face classroom training when:
-You need instructor and peer interaction in order to properly learn the material

So where do new ideas come from? I hate to disappoint you, but there are NO NEW IDEAS. Before you burn me at the stake for this overt falsity I reassure you I do not mean there are no new ideas in this monumentally stupid sense:"Everything that can be invented has been invented." -Charles H. Duell, 1899, U.S. Commissioner of PatentsThere are no new ideas, BUT, there are splendid combinations of old ideas. Things that look new will be coming and going for the rest of time but truly they are a dynamic new combination of OLD things.So how do you do it? Come up with 'new' ideas, those prec

With apologies to Sesame Street, how do we spot a leader in our midst? What ingredients make for a certain individual to have the style and substance to be a leader of people?Spotting a phoney leader is not too difficult. Phoney leaders intimidate or manipulate people, leading forcefully but without real confidence in themselves or a belief in a cause. They are actors on a stage, following a script and protecting their image.They stopped learning many years ago, believing they "know it all". They fail to inspire people through the mastery of their craft, seeking more often to do it through th

This is a pretty tough global economy and it is critical for a company to leverage every bit of their marketing resources. So, if this is the case, why are so many companies shooting themselves in the proverbial foot by breaking some of the most fundamental rules of marketing? It's a very simple question with complex answers - here are some of the pitfalls to avoid:1) Believing a second rate web site communicates integrity: So many web sites are just plain funky looking (graphics, text, menus, etc.) - nice professional term, but it's descriptive of some of the dreck that passes for web site design.

Research would indicate that consumers don’t know what they’re thinking. According to an article written by Jack Shimell (2002) for Quirk’s Marketing Research Review, Consumers make their decisions and react to advertising based more on unconscious emotional processes than on conscious rational processes.There appears to be an interplay between the conscious and the unconscious with the unconscious being the driving force, when it comes to reactions to advertising and purchase decision making.There is also a distinct personality / temperament factor involved in consumer thinking and behavior

Avoid waking up one day wondering what's happened. Overdrafts are available for money from your bank. They aren't available when you are no longer valued by employers.
Learning is a continuous process, never to be neglected. Invest in yourself today.
