Developing A Senior Management Team
Effective management is crucial for a business to succeed, and it is possible only if the right candidate with the right qualifications and expertise does the job competently. The greatest challenge to good management is hiring a good team of managers to do the job assigned to them in such a fashion, as to guide the business towards its target goals in an accelerated, well-coordinated fashion. This can be a problem especially to new businesses, as they have to hire the right personnel who can also become a part of a team, work together, and create an atmosphere conducive to growth and development of the business. Hence building a senior management team can be a task that is not so easy!Tips for Building A Senior Management Team: As money may be an issue for new business start-ups, hiring qualified and experienced people may be the answer. Check to see the availability of volunteers to build a volunteer advisory board. Check to see if outsourcing the management team will be a viable option as well as cost effective. Make s

Reviving Dead Clients
Most consultants I’ve talked to don’t spend any time trying to recover inactive clients and it’s a big mistake. We tend to magnify the problem we had or just want to move on, but sometimes a simple apology and offering to make things right will bring you back a client worth thousands of dollars in billing.Clients can quit contacting you for a number of reasons:They had a bad experience.They no longer need your product or service.As their needs evolved, they believed your company no longer could offer what they need.They just got busy and forgot about you.You can see how important it is to have a communication process to stay in contact with clients as some quit calling for the sole reason of “out of sight, out of mind.” Think about all the vendors that you’ve stopped buying from for no real reason. It happens to everyone.There are clients that you have consciously let go because they are bad clients. I recommend consistently “firing” the bottom 5-10 percent of your client base as a regular practice. But most consultants have an at

Ebay is a relatively new phenomenon, but the company feels like it has been around for decades and has taken the web world by storm. Here are some brief stats:

eBay was founded in 1995
eBay has a global customer base of 181 million
eBay has a global presence in 33 markets including the UK and USA
eBay UK was Launched in 1999
eBay in the UK’s number one ecommerce website
eBay UK has 3 million items listed at any given time
eBay UK accounts for 10% of all the time UK users spend on the internet

We could go on and on discussing the merits and stats of eBay, but the one that sticks out for me is number 5: eBay in the UK’s number one ecommerce website!

All ecommerce websites endeavour to get customers through online marketing activity like search engine optimisation and paid for marketing without ever considering a mechanism that is already in place to help them – eBay!

There is a misconception within many businesses eBay is not for businesses (The term beggars has been used often). However, they should consider these startling statistics:

Profitable since its launch, eBay net revenues totalled $1.329 billion in Q4-05 and $4.552 billion in 2005.

Careers, Employment and the Truth About Minimum Wage
The current minimum wage in the United States of America is $5.15 per hour and some believe it should be much higher. In fact the city of Chicago wanted to mandate that the employment wages could not go less than $10 per hour and some agreed. Recently the United States Congress and the United States Senate voted on a minimum-wage bill, which they did not pass.Now each side of the aisle is blaming the other side for not allowing the minimum-wage law to pass. However from a free market standpoint the minimum wage should be zero dollars per hour. Yes, you heard me right the minimum wage should be zero. In other words there should be no minimum-wage law and that is the truth about minimum wage. With unemployment rates hovering between 4.6% and 5% we simply do not need a minimum-wage law.If an employer does not pay the minimum wage in those employees will find work elsewhere and therefore competition will dictate price. Those employers who pay more dollars per hour will end up with the best workers and those that don't will get the worst workers. Smart companies

The Advantage to Blogging
I've been seeing a lot of people posting in forums asking if it's worth it to start a blog.I have a bit of a biased opinion on the subject since I have three of my own. But I think 99 times out of 100, it's worth it to start one.Every day, more and more people are discovering the 'blog life'. Some blogs are used as online journals, some are used as a place to publish stories or novels, some are an extension of a current online business, and others are used only as income generators.While blogging can be a big commitment, there are many reasons why blogs have an advantage over traditional websites.Search engines love them - If you choose a search engine friendly blog template and update it regularly, you should have no trouble getting ranked in the search engines. There are also plenty of extensions or plugins to add to your blogging platform that can enhance your search engine optimization (SEO).They're easy to use and maintain - A blog can be set up in as little as ten minutes, even if you have no coding exper

  Share a Vision for Your Business with God
  I have a friend who is caught up in some serious 'paralysis of analysis' where her business life is concerned. I advised her to simply follow God's peace and just get moving! She looked at me like I had suggested that she jump off a cliff. I could tell that she was literally frozen by her own fear of missing God.Missing God is just not something that I've ever worried about. What do people mean when they say 'I'm afraid of missing God?" anyways? It is as though they believe that God has set up a maze for them to figure out and if they go the wrong way - they've blown it and will be stuck in some dead end.I don't believe for a minute that God is like that.God created you with unique talents and motivations. He put you together in a way that you would enjoy doing some things more than others. I believe that what you enjoy doing will give you a large clue about what you are called to do - whether that is in ministry, business or even a hobby.We should be following our heart's desire when it comes to choosing a business. It should fit us like a glove and

    10 Customer Service Quality Statements to Measure up Against
    It might sound quick and simple, to say how well your business does in satisfying it's customers. Hearing such as:-"We're increasing our turnover by 14% year to date""Our customer complaints are now less than 4% or our transactions"...might sound like music to your ears, but that's just the time you need to be very careful.A regular measurement of where you are as your organisation, not depending on some of the easy-to-fake figures, might just make the difference in how well you are doing now, and into the future.Try these quality statements and set up a mechanism whereby you review them monthly - yes, that's right, monthly. This needs to be thorough and objective. And maybe even the scores made by a cross- section of your people in all areas of your business - then you get objectivity and a true picture of how you are scoring. It is a great activity to score each of these out of 10, make a tracker month by month and each time you review, ask yourself t

When you believe in impossible things, they become possible. All major breakthroughs in progress happened when someone dared to dream about something that was considered impossible. How could Mahatma Ghandi, a single man, bring down the mighty British Empire? How could Martin Luther King bring respect to a people who had historically always been disowned? How could Nelson Mandela, a prisoner, overthrow the government of his captors and become its leader? It is all because they dared to dream the impossible dream. Dare you imagine what is possible for you if you dare to dream?

Many businesses fail before they make it to the five year mark. Here are some life lessons from a small business consultant who made the mark.

Using an autoresponder, sometimes referred to as an automatic responder, can bring a lot of repeat traffic to your site, and traffic usually translates into profit. The neat thing about an automatic email responder is that you are bringing back traffic that you already had. This means if a visitor did not make a purchase the first time they came your site, you have another opportunity to sell to them.
