Online Opportunities - Is Email Marketing Dead?
I feel compelled to ask the question because of my reaction to Online Opportunities in my inbox recently.You know the scenario. You switch on your computer to find maybe 30 or 40 new emails begging your attention. A quick scan tells you that 98% can be deleted without opening them. Why? Because you have been getting bombarded over a period of time with the same old stuff. New launch, resale rights, teleseminars, the best pay plan, joint ventures etc. Sometimes I even get 4 or 5 of the same offers on the same day from several Joint Venture partners. I wonder if I'm alone here, but I have reached the point where I just cannot be bothered reading them anymore.I now only join mailing lists where I perceive I am going to receive something of value. So how many more people are feeling the same? And, if lots of f

Who’s in Control of Your Customer Service?
Make the Process VisibleIn the 1960’s, when the fast food industry was brand new, most restaurants had a wall between the order counter and the kitchen. Customers didn’t know how their food was being prepared or how long it would take (or if it had been pre-prepared and resting under heat lamps awaiting an order).In the seventies, some restaurants took down the wall so that customers could see who was preparing their food, how it was being prepared and about how long it would take. This gave customers psychological control of the “order-to-delivery” process by making it visible: if customers wished, they could see the process and thereby be mentally involved in it every step of the way. This gave them the feeling of control without actually being in control of the process.There are several ways y

It is not easy building a career which has to last for 20 to 30 years. But incidentally, much of your future depends on how well you prepare yourself now. And to give you an idea of how complicated this has become, practically nobody predicted 20 years ago that software engineering would become such a big employment generator; it all happened so fast!The other notable point of importance is that many semi-skilled jobs that were either labor intensive or routine in nature have moved to countries like India. These were jobs that were draining corporations of their vital resources (read: money) and which, when moved to outsourcing mode, caught many Americans off-guard. Future jobs are such that they can’t be easily outsourced. These are the jobs of the future. They are based on knowledge and skill and need to be onsh
