Planning a meeting or conference is no cakewalk. Here are the top tips from expert event planners who have handled hundreds of association conferences:1. Articulate Your Goals: This may seem obvious, but you would be surprised how easy it is to forget this step. It's harder to plan and choose when you have fuzzy thinking. Here is an example of a clear conference objective. To provide attendees with an opportunity to rethink their roles in the rapidly changing library environment and to enhance their change management skills. Here is a leadership retreat objective: To set priorities and shape the strategic planning process for the upcoming year so that we improve customer service.2. Make the Location Enticing: Choose a place with a special feeling. For example, great weather (think Cancun), great tourist attractions (think Whistler), great food (a local restaurant) or an-off beat location (think Fantasyland Hotel).3. Make it Easy for People to Network: According to a 2004 meeting industry poll, the number one reason people attend conferences--is to network. Too many conferences and meetings only off

First off, even a Lean Assessment should be a Value-Adding experience for your company. It's not enough for a couple of consultants to drop-in, take a look around, and then send you a report that tells you what they observed and what to do.Most of the time you'll pay for a Lean Assessment, (though probably at a reduced rate,) so you should still expect some tangible return on your investment beyond a report. Your assessors will be looking for waste. When and where they find waste, in its many forms, and how to eliminate it should be an expected deliverable.The following is a very brief overview of some things you should look for when hiring a consultant to assess the opportunities for Lean at your company. This also applies to the progress you have made so far if assessing for benchmarking purposes.This is NOT an exhaustive list by any means, but it is a good start.Although a good assessor should make the process flex to the specifics of each company, I have outlined some of the common items you should expect during and after a typical 1 - 5 day assessment.The Lean Assessor Should Do the Following (at m
Last time we discussed a couple of the tragic mistakes many online entrepreneurs make that causes them to fail. You were asked if you were guilty of making these mistakes. What was your answer?
Do you begin marketing your product or service to your prospect before they have raised their hand and let you know that they are interested?
Is your web site or email communications structured to enable you to capture the name and email address information about your prospect so that you can do follow-up contacts?
Did you visit the web site of a few successful online marketers? Did you notice anything they all had in common?
Maybe because you did not know what to look for you did not notice anything. One thing all successful online marketers have in common at their web sites is a method to allow any visitor to raise their hand and say “I am interested, send me more information.”
The successful marketers that earn above average incomes have discovered that a targeted opt-in list of qualified leads and satisfied customers is an essential component of their online business success. Therefore, one of their main goals is to capture the name and email address of the visitors to their web site and the readers of their email.

Getting organized in the Internet Marketing world is a constant challenge. Managing downloads, filing resell rights products, organizing hard drives, storing bonuses and keeping track of eBooks, scripts and tools we’ve purchased can become a nightmare.It’s in the nature of our lives as internet marketers that we accumulate dozens, hundreds – even thousands of downloads over time. Our store of downloads just grows and grows and grows.Each of us makes a brave attempt to find ways to structure this information – but very quickly we find that whatever organizational scheme we come up with, the stuff we want to file away never quite fits. And so our gigabytes of downloads end up in chaos. The result?* We can’t find things that we KNOW we’ve got. * We spend hours and hours searching for that eBook, script or tool that we definitely remember downloading months ago. We need it urgently, right now, but can we find it? Can we just! * We forget 80-95% of what we have got. So we end up buying products that we don’t need. We already have something that fits our need, but we clean don’t remember, and have no w

A Managing Director of a prominent City investment bank in London e-mailed me the other day: “I am doing a morning of graduate interviews for salespeople; all high quality guys but one guy mentioned that he liked Google as a stock so I quizzed him based on the DMH blog view and he left the meeting saying he thought the stock was a sell!”He later revealed to me the competitiveness of the interview process and how little margin for error there was: out of the sixteen short-listed candidates, they were only allowed to pick two. When I asked him what the criteria was, he told me; “It’s really the depth of the candidates that makes all the difference. We had one Lebanese guy, for example, with loads of international experience who had been educated in Paris and London and who had some practical knowledge of the industry and it was very impressive. Talking to him was like talking to any of the guys who are working on the floor here. It all comes down to being well-rounded.”Education & ExperienceIn July, consultant and guru Andy Miller wrote an abstract on his blog which declared: “I don't mean any disrespect but the odds are if yo
