Here are six steps that will help you do just that:#1. Take the call when you’re ready. If an employer calls and wants to do the interview when you’re not expecting it (instead of setting up an

Go Get What You Want - Results!
I was taught repeatedly in my sales training that if you don't ask for the sale, you won't get it. I have turned this lesson into a life philosophy, and I get what I want most of the time.You have a lot of personal power, whether you know it and exercise it or not. Let's look at an example.Let's assume you have a business plan for 2006 and your marketing plan includes publishing an email newsletter, then putting the articles online at free article databases, networking at 3 groups regularly and advertising in 2 specific publications. You have a pretty good idea of how much these strategies will cost and what kind of return to e

From the Eye of the Potato: Train the people that deal with your customers.

I called a support number the other day—I got the message! A recorded female voice said that I must call during a certain time period and "goodby."

My first impression was: My this lady hates working for a living—and me!

Then I thought: She can't be that bad—just not properly trained.

Maybe she should listen to the telephone message systems of big corporations:

"Thank you for calling Big Corporation. Your call is very important to us. If you speak English, press one. Si usted habla espa?ol, toca dos"

This may go on for French, Italian, German, Japanese and Chinese. In fact, you could swim to China by the time you get to a live person. But still, your call is important to them so you sit there listening to music you hate, waiting, waiting…

I Called the Lady Back to See What She Was Really Like

Finally, I got the person who made the recording. Her name was Mildred. She was 75 years old and as sweet as a President Reagan Jelly Belly®.

Mildred was not a rude person that intentionally turns customers away. Yet I'm sure that some get her telephone message and never call back. I'm sure that some drop their affiliation with the company.

The problem was not with Mildred, but with the message. She gave the facts about the hours and the fax machine, but she didn't say it like the "Big Boys." She could have said:

What Irritates You?
I just finished reading a powerful book The Profitable Power of Purpose in which the author Ian Percy (www.IanPercy.com) states “If your customers were not irritated, they would not even be your customers.” How true it is! In 1978, I ran an ad in a New York City newspaper, “Organizing consultant can help you make better use of time and space” and launched a 25+ year business which is still going strong. Obviously there were, and still are lots of people irritated about their lack of time and space, because now there is an entire industry devoted to helping people solve that irritation. A r

Unique Logo Designs
Using lines and shapes and your company or business name can create an awesome and unique logo design that everyone will remember.Nike for example uses a type of swoosh line and when you see this line you know it is Nike. So, why not come up with your own unique lines and shapes to convey your own image. When people see that Nike line they think of fast and then the put it with the Nike name and know that if they wear these shoes they will be fast runners.Lines can convey feeling and emotional thoughts for your logo design. When using sharp edges they conveys discipline, conventionalism, and sometimes can be perceived as cyberneti

We were camping north of Montreal years ago when the owner of the camp said that we had parked our camper in the wrong spot during the night. He was, as they say, rude, crude, and unattractive.

What did we do? We packed up, drove to the office,, paid the bill, and moved to another camp. He lost a week's rent because of his rude behavior, and we easily found another camp that actually had numbers on the camping sites.

Forgiven Them For They Know Not What They Do

Here, I'm talking about perfectly innocent working people who don't realize that when dealing with the public (your customers), they come over as being rude, short (curt), even obnoxious. Haven't you noticed that some employees even avoid customers?

On the Jerry Seinfeld Show, the character Kramer shows obnoxious behavior. Typical is his entry into Jerry's apartment, barging in without knocking and going straight to the refrigerator. Would you buy a used car from Kramer? At times he drives me away from the show.

George and Elaine are also misfits—people who you wouldn't want to associate with other than at a beer bust in the park. Would you buy a used car from George when he's talking out of the side of his mouth? What about from Elaine when she's playing her silly mind games?

Newman, the mailman, is just dumb. Would you like to deal with him?

Jerry's role is of a person that is different from many people, but he typically is polite, tries to reason, and is often effecti

So you're looking for a conference venue? Not the size of the Taj Mahal, but something just as impressive. A venue with the right amount of space, flexible catering, including accommodation and the right facilities.

Are you facing a phone interview and aren't sure what to expect? Perhaps you've had many phone interviews, but never won the face-to-face one? Here are phone interview tips to get you through to Round 2!

How many of you find yourself working to this formula? ? x 2 = 3 i.e. Half the workforce working twice as hard equals three times the profit'. Or to put it another way, are you required to deliver an improvement on the numbers over the previous year, with the same (or a reduced budget) within a culture where staff who leave are not replaced?
