It is really the only thing that matters.If you cannot generate targeted visitors to your site, you will not only not have any sales coming in, but your business will evantually die down and vanish.Usually the owner or designer of the website is the person designated to drive traffic to the site. One of the main ingredients in generating traffic is the search engines.Using the search engines to generate targeted traffic is the least expensive meth
I know most of you reading this newsletter have been told NO by your family and friends and maybe on occasion your t wo-year-old. Not to mention cold prospects. NO is a serious word. We tell our kids NO when they are going to do something that will harm themselves or just going to do something that is just not a very good idea. Remember saying NO to a child and the reaction you got? Either they would ignore you, appear shocked or give you a look to imply confusion or at times defiance.

1. Short Attention Spans
Problem: When asked to guess the average adult attention span, most people say around thirty minutes. According to statistics, however, the average adult attention span is actually only seven seconds. That’s right! Every seven seconds you go away somewhere. You think about something else. In fact, you could actually be taking a mental break right now. It is a normal part of how the brain integrates external stimuli – like when your computer starts defragging for a moment while you type.
Solution: It helps to pause from time to time when you speak. This allows people to integrate your information or ask a clarifying question. Also, include examples to anchor your concepts. For example (see--I’m doing it now!), a concept wit

Marketing is a subject that's very often misunderstood by many of us who are not directly involved in it. There are many misconceptions around what marketing teams do, especially in relation to the art of selling. There are, however, some key things to understand that can help clear up this confusion considerably and will help in your every day understanding of what marketing and marketeers are actually all about and what they're trying to achieve.1. Marketing is not sales.Sales is the specific skill or act of closing a deal or brokering a customer's commitment to enter into a deal or make a purchase. The skillset for sales p

Modern organizations define themselves using statements of vision. They state their vision in terms of human resources and technology, a socio-technical view.

2. Too Many Distractions
Problem: I was in a meeting the other day and five people coughed, four people side talked, three cell phones rang, two people went to the restroom, and a partridge did email on his PDA. Distractions are a big part of modern life.
Solution: Your best bet is to acknowledge the distractions in a playful way. A manager who recently led a meeting I attended did this. When a cell phone rang, he grabbed for it and said, “Hello, Greg is in a meeting right now and he forgot to turn off his cell phone. So, please call back in a minute and leave a message. Beep.” That prompted everyone to turn off their phones.
