    Once you arrive, you won’t be at your best, physically or psychologically, having been on airplanes and in airports for up to and beyond 20 hours. So, if you’re wise, you’ll factor in this problem and arrive at least one, and better, two days ahead of your event.

    A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
    As part of my recent excursion to Knysna, I popped into an art gallery. The artist had many very beautiful paintings from the area. There was one painting in particular of the lagoon, with the heads in the background, but at night with a full moon, and some clouds. The clouds created a bright outline, which reflected on the
    When I receive a speaking invitation from Australia or from Europe or from Kuala Lumpur to keynote or to conduct a seminar in customer service, sales, or telemarketing, it’s an honor and it’s enticing.

    Simply put, battling time zone changes is not for everyone, and when you consider the economics of conducting foreign business, you may come out on the wrong end of the stick, if you’re not careful.

    For example, on multiple occasions I’ve been invited to do seminars in places such as Malaysia and Australia, where they tell you, up front, that their economies are so primitive that they can only pay $1,000 per day, plus economy class air fare.

    If you’re used to billing three, four or more times for a speech, domestically, that has to wake you up and startle you.

    But that’s just the beginning of your expenses. Even more ominous is what’s looming in terms of preparation time and recovery time.

    Doing two days, six to ten thousand miles from your home base, entails at least two days of preparation, and you may need to apply and pay for a visa, and that adds time, out of pocket, and expenses.

    Memory Sticks - Sd Cards and Other Removable Media
    ISO 27001 calls for controls to be implemented on removable media to stop unauthorised access and transmission of data. It is not unknown for a disgruntled employee to download data containing commercial information onto some form of portable memory device just before leaving employment. This can be sensitive information

    Honest and Dishonest Salesmen and Crossing That Line
    Many sales people seem to cross the line all too easily when making sales. Even those we consider honest sales people will tell a line of BS in order to get a sales interview or nudge their way into the sales pitch. Often they will move a conversation around and bring it to a point where they can make the sales pitch or go i

    Isn't it Time You Started to Fly?
    I am going to begin this article by sharing a shocking fact...Did you know that if you opened the door on every single budgie cage around the world (and we are talking a lot of cages here...) fewer than 5% of our imprisoned feathered friends would actually embrace the window of opportunity provided and fly away!xpenses.

    Once you arrive, you won’t be at your best, physically or psychologically, having been on airplanes and in airports for up to and beyond 20 hours. So, if you’re wise, you’ll factor in this problem and arrive at least one, and better, two days ahead of your event.

    You won’t be paid for these “vacation days,” and you’ll have to pay your own hotel, meals, and incidentals.

    After doing your event, you’ll either spend more time on a mini-vacation, that you’ll pay for, and then upon returning home, you body will demand two-five days of recuperation to get back onto the local time.

    It means you’re being paid about $200 per day to do those programs, but it’s even more likely that they’ll cost you big bucks in respect to the other business you’ll turn away and for your out of pocket for vacation related expenses.

    Can your body and checkbook afford to accept international business?

    The general answer is, not at the prevailing rates. To make it pay, you need to be compensated for its true costs, plus garner a profit.

    In a future article, I’ll tell you exactly how I calculate these financial requirements.
