Your Resume: Design vs. Content
There are two basic components to a resume. The first one is CONTENT. The second one is DESIGN. Both elements are critical in determining the success of the resume. What does the design component consist of? Quite a few aspects of the resume fall into this category. Here are some for you to peruse: type and color of paper format layout within the format font(s) used white space Determining the design your resume can contribute a great deal to the impact you make to prospective employers. A resume must not only contain the right words and qualifications, but it must be easy to read. When a pile of resumes are first taken out of their envelopes, the process of making a first impression begins. You can’t take a chance of being ruled out at any stage of the process, so your materials must be superior. Do you know what your competitors are doing?

Six Rules for Great IT Project Success
Project delivery makes IT organizations credible. When IT “gets it right” at the project level, its ability to impact the financial results of a company increases and its leadership in providing strategic direction improves. Good project delivery is the key to unlocking the door from the back-office to the boardroom.And yet, according to a recent survey by Accenture, only 29% of IT projects are considered successful. The average cost overrun is 56%; the typical delay is 84%. After decades spent learning and implementing project management methodologies, measurements and controls, the success rate of IT projects is no better than when a single computer took up an entire room.Now, despite the need for companies in the 21st century to innovatively embrace technology to compete, CIO’s still find themselves hearing second-hand about their company’s strategy while line-of-business executives embrace the “IT as a commodity” philosophy.For IT to contribute to a company’s bottom

Are You Taking Responsibility for Your Business?
A few weeks ago we asked several work at home moms a fun question - Would you do something illegal, even if you probably wouldn't be caught?Of course, everyone said "absolutely not!". This is the response you would expect from most anyone in the work at home mom community. We have to set an example for our children, of course.However, it amazes me how often I see others involved in illegal activities or not taking responsibility for their business. No matter if it's using excuses to not deliver products on time or running a business without proper licenses - it's unethical, irresponsible, and sometimes illegal.As they say, ignorance of the law is no excuse. It's true even online, and you could be subject to fines or even lose your business. The following are some examples of illegal or unethical practices you may be faced with, and how to handle them.- Running raffles or illegal contestsEvery state has different laws, and in most states it's very illegal t

Secrets of a Well-Rounded Rainmaker
Whether you are the rain-maker in a small firm, a sales representative, or responsible for a national sales force, it’s in your best interest to branch out and create alternative ways to reach perspective customers. Having multiple marketing streams is the life-blood of any lead generation and lead nurturing program. But don’t count on your company’s marketing department to do it for you, it’s not their job to promote you the sales person– they’re supposed to promote the company.Many rain-makers that I know earn well into the 6 and 7 figures. They know what they are good at and they keep to it. It makes sense but the problem is that by focusing on only one or two ways of generating business, it limits their ability to make even more money for their company and themselves.So how do you turn today’s salesperson into tomorrow’s rain-maker? I think companies need to reevaluate how they look at their sales team and how they should be deployed in their sales process. They need

Licensing: Help To Grow Existing Product Lines
The attraction of licensing trademarks for business intentions appears to be at an all-time high, mostly in the fashion arena where consumers are buying more licensed products and brand names than ever before. For retailers, licensing opportunities provide them with a point of difference from their competitors.Licensing is leasing a legally protected property (like trademarked or copyrighted name, logo, likeness, character, phrase or design) to another party in combination with a product, service or promotion. It is a process which lays stress on consumer management, development of brand equity in line with international imagery, providing right shopping ambience and perhaps is less about manufacturing. Licensing is a way of growing with an already established brand. It provides the brand recall benefits, which are not achievable in case one comes out with a brand new image.There are many types of licensing business like art & design, corporate brands, events, fashion brands,

Be clear

I cannot over emphasise the need to focus! It is critical for your business that you and more importantly prospects fully understand the products or services you provide and the customers, either individuals or organisations you provide them to.

For example, I provide business to business copywriting and communication products and services to companies in the IT and business services sector. This focus has enabled me over the past two years to create a client base of over two dozen companies, who regularly use my services, and that range from small ?1M turnover IT companies to the largest IT software company in the world. This does not mean that I can take it easy and I am constantly looking at ways of generating more business.

Verbal and Written Communication Being concise but specific in your communication is very important to anyone in this day of high tech communication. Many times the human factor of thoughtfulness and consideration is abandoned in the technology. A key formula in both written and verbal communication is: Tell’em What You Are Going To Tell’em, Tell’em, and Tell’em What You Told ‘Em.

What made Shakespeare the greatest writer in English literature? His stories were good, for sure - but a lot of them were simply re-workings of historical events or legends. His rhythm and rhyme were good, too - but everyone else was doing the same. What made Shakespeare great, and what can make you great too, was the size of his.
