It may be that there's nothing more disruptive than experiencing a career change. Frankly, it really doesn't matter how big the change is - could be as major as a complete exit from a long term workplace, or it could involve subtle shifts of role assignments or responsibilities. Whatever the magnitude, career changes can leave us feeling thrilled, nervous, sad, angry, hurt, depleted, disoriented, confused, or even all of the above.Many indicators point towards the idea that there will only be more and more of this kind of change. Therefore, career resilience is one of the essentials you will need to find and keep good work throughout your work life.Yes – without resilience, even if you follow the tried-and-true process endorsed by a plethora of career coaches and counselors, the longevity of your sense of workplace s

More and more companies are revitalizing their brand with a new logo, building remodels, new uniforms, advertising campaigns, and the like. Typically everyone, both within and outside the company, gets excited about the new look and message. After all, it’s cool to have the latest and greatest of anything.However, many of these companies fail to recognize the intangible assets. Yes, the tangible assets have been updated, but what about the employees? Has any thought or investment been put towards them? If you remodel a restaurant but provide the same average service and food quality, the customers who already gave you a second chance still won’t come back.Investing in the internal brand leverages your investment and can help ramp it up to even greater heights. The new revitalization will undoubtedly bring more
What do I need to import goods to Australia?
You don’t need a license to import to Australia in general, however some products may require special licenses. See http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=4369 for information on prohibited or restricted goods.
Goods Classification
The first thing you need to do is classify your goods correctly so that the appropriate duties and tariffs (if any) apply.
Not sure how to classify your goods?
Customs provides a tariff advice service for importers who are unsure as to the correct classification or concession for their merchandise. To take advantage of this service lodge an application with Customs along with supporting evidence. You can apply for a tarif concession on imported goods that do no compete in the market place with goods of Australian manufacture.
You are ultimately responsible for classifying goods correctly as well as all other Customs documentation –even if they were prepared by a Broker, Freight Forwarder or Service Provider. It is recommended that you check over all documents before they are given to customs and retain copies. Talk to your Broker of Freight Forwarder if there are any errors.
You also need to account for any surplus goods, promotional materials and samples.
All customs documentation must be retained for 5 years.
For more information on your responsibilities and where you can find help, see http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=4271
What happens at customs?
Customs may decide to inspect your goods or they may waive the inspection. You do not need to submit commercial documentation, but you do need to to keep all the relevant commercial documents for 5 years after that time.
If you have an Australian Business Number(ABN) you will need to supply it to Customs when formally entering goods . Importers need to be registered for GST purposes and have an ABN in order to claim input tax credits or access the GST deferral scheme.
Duties and Tariffs – How much will they cost?
Duties and Tariffs are based on the classification code of the goods, valuation and country of origin. Valuation of imported goods can be complex and importers are urged to seek advice from a customs broker or to contact a Customs Information Centre
You can find Tariff information at http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=4273.

• Making an accurate and correct entry
• Paying all Customs charges
• Keeping all commercial documents for 7 years and providing to Customs if necessary
• Compliance with legislative requirements
Classification of Goods
The correct classification of goods is the most complex part of importing, and for this reason, many people choose to use Customs brokers to worry about it for them!
The classification code which best fits your merchandise will determine the tariffs and duties you have to pay. You are ultimately responsible for choosing the correct classification code.
Whether you complete this process yourself, or receive help from a broker or Customs, you will need to provide the following information:
• purchase invoice
• manufacturer’s costings
• freight and insurance costs
• product sample
• catalogues or brochures
• evidence of origin
• proof of payment.
For some items you will also need:
• An airway bill or bill of lading.
• Invoices.
• Packing lists
• Insurance certificates.
Importers may also need to contact shipping companies, airlines or freight forwarders for advice on their requirements, operating hours and/or location of the goods.
Who can help me Classify goods?
For first time importers, Customs run training programs which you can attend. Email cbaff@clear.net.nz to find out more.
For successive imports, you will be expected to complete the entry yourself or use a Customs broker or agent, or freight forwarder. All import entries must be completed electronically using the appropriate software or over the Internet http://www.cusweb.co.nz.
Remember that you are responsible for the accuracy of the customs documents - even when they are completed by a broker or agent - so it’s important to check all details.

Marketing potential of any product is based on recognition and quality. Name based recognition happens with a variety of products. We have Paul Newman salad dressings, Robert Redford productions, George W. Bush policies, and Oprah Magazines; the list goes on. Each of these has a unique emblem of success, their name and face. No other product can compare; no other is similar.Brand your market effectively with recognizable eloquence. Your name adds purpose, power, and punctuation to an otherwise bland product. Without your name, you would be unrecognizable by most forms of communication. Brand your market with simplicity and style: your name.Originality swamps the market these days. Build a better burger became a sub-sandwich and fish and chips evolved into pizza, but meat is still meat no matter how you slice it.
You also need to account for any surplus goods, promotional materials and samples.
All customs documentation must be retained for 5 years.

As a salesperson, building the value of your product or service is a very important part of the selling process for two specific reasons. The process helps to reinforce and in some cases, even establish need or desire in the customer's mind and, equally valuable, it justifies the price that the seller is asking.So, the question is, when building value, how far do you go? How much time do you spend? Although the answer is a fairly simple, many salespeople fail to recognize it.Many salespeople regularly do not build sufficient value, sufficient interest or even sufficient excitement for the customer to want to contemplate a purchase. They do not showcase the benefits of ownership of their product or service which is, after all, the foundation of value for the buyer. Then these salespeop

If you're a beginner, starting a website doesn't have to be difficult. If you begin with a good idea and take it step-by-step, you'll reap the rewards of a popular website.Here are ten steps to online success:1. Choose a domain name. Then, get it hosted.Your domain name can be your own name, your company name, or a descriptive word for phrase describing what you do.I often use GoDaddy.com for registration and hosting, but there are many inexpensive registrars and hosting services. Ask your friends for recommendations. Compare what the services offer, and read hosting service reviews.2. Decide the theme or niche for your website.Don't try to be all things to all people. For the best placement at search engines, select just one theme and build your site around that. If you want

Why are sales training programs so often unsuccessful? The typical company spends tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars to put its entire sales force through the latest, hottest sales training program touted to increase its bottom line numbers. But, just as with all the previous sales training efforts, only a small percentage of participants embrace the new skills taught. For everyone else, the status quo reins, and the bottom line doesn’t move one bit. What went wrong, and how can it be done right?Getting to the next level in selling requires a careful evaluation of your sales executive’s true intentions. Many executives, and even the sales trainers themselves believe that sales training is a one-size-fits-all proposition. They couldn’t be more wrong! Your sales executives or representatives ca
