My friend Candy recently complained that she wasn't getting any responses back on her resume."I have ten years of customer service experience, and somehow that's not enough." she said, morosely reaching for another breadstick. "I think my resume is just too typical, it blends in too much, and gets lost in this giant sea of customer service resumes.""Well, you're bilingual, why don't you play that up?" I said.

When planning your trade show marketing program, one of the important things to consider is the series of handouts you will make available to your booth visitors. Full color printed materials are by far your best bet when it comes to trade show handouts. But how do you maximize the impact of such a traditional item?You've spent significant money on staff training, beautiful graphics, and a professionally designed display. The traffic is pouring through your booth. But will they still remember you tomorrow?Let's face it, you only have two chances to make your message stick with your booth visitors: your follow-up strategy, and your handouts. Will your ha
I have yet to meet anyone who knew when they were young that they were going to be a salesman or woman. So where do we learn our trade? Most of it will be through mentoring, reading and actually learning ‘on the job.’ Here are a few tips to help you continue to grow your wealth and personal happiness through your sales efforts.
1. When cold calling sell yourself and the appointment. Do not even try to sell your product or service. Your purpose for the call is to find out if there is a need for you product or service. If it seems likely there is then make an appointment to introduce your product or service to your prospect.
2. You have two ears and one mouth. Selling is about solving problems. Solving problem is easy if you listen. Rule of thumb: listen at least twice as long as you talk.
3. Your prospect is more interested in themselves and there problems. Most really do not care too much about you and what you have done. Give your prospect time to talk about them and you will have ample opportunity to find out the real problems, needs and wants and what you need to do to make your prospect desire you, your service or product.

If marketing is the life blood of business, then testimonials are the oxygen. Testimonials are sincere satisfied customers praising your product or service to the world. They are better than any advertisement you could buy or any interview you can take part in. If you think about it, most people are pretty skeptical about businesses anyway. They are bombarded with big dollar ads all around them. Whether it’s some catchy commercial on television or radio or something they’ve read in a magazine or newspaper. Some companies have gone on to hire famous celebrities to endorse their products because it works. But we don’t have the million dollar budgets to pay celebrities

Once learned you’d better take action with them as these nuggets of information provide you with the keys to unlock the door of exponential business growth.When I say exponential I don’t mean 3 or 4% per year, as after all this is barely better than inflation.

Sustaining competitive advantage within the medical device industry involves a global product strategy that recognizes the European market's substantial global market share.
