Sales Training Tip #17; Be Persistent and Do Not Harass
As a sales training person you are well aware that many times news salespeople will be over persistent in order to achieve the sale.

Traffic Light Feedback
Leaders achieve success through influencing others. The harsh reality is that these "others" react to their perception of a leaders behaviour, not the behaviour itself. It does not matter what leaders do so much as it matters what people think about what leaders do. Perception is all important. By increasing their knowledge of how they are perceived, leaders position themselves to make changes that will truly have an impact.Try this simple technique:At a staff meeting, inform staff that you are going to be seeking their feedback on how you can enhance your leadership impact.After the meeting email staff three questions and ask them to privately reflect on them before the next meeting

A web site is a crucial ingredient of your marketing strategy because it can widen your target market to include anyone who has access to a computer and the internet. Almost 60% of Canadians had access to the internet at home in 2003, and around 8 million had regular access to the internet from somewhere, either at home, at work or at school.

And that’s just in Canada. Ecommerce sales from Canada were $7.2 billion, and we only captured 4% of the global ecommerce market! So, how can you reach some of those internet surfers, and how can you capture some of that $7.2 billion spent in ecommerce?

Business Mums -- Best of Both Worlds?
Giving birth to a baby, and a business at the same time, appears to be a crazy idea, to those who haven't tried it. Come to think of it, even those of us who have embarked on this daunting double whammy, agree that there are easier ways to live your life. Happy hormones combine with an inevitable shift in circumstances, and create a tantalising mood of change. Questions persist, in moments of reflection, when you take the weight off your swollen ankles and ponder your bulging waistline. Do I really want to go back to work? Wouldn't it be nice to have some flexibility? What on earth am I going to do about childcare? Surely all I need is a laptop and a phone line? I must be able to do something else.... Of course, the l

Executive Office Space Can Ease the Pain Of Moving From a Home Office
There comes a time in every successful 'kitchen-table' start-up when it's time to move from the home. That's when you need to become familiar with the benefits and savings of executive office space...or, as it is sometimes called, shared office space.To begin with, the two terms are misleading. Executive office space does not refer to high-priced offices. Nor does shared office space mean actually sharing an office with another company.The most important thing you need to know is that executive office space is rented, not leased. This makes it easy to move in and out without hassles or delays.For example, let's assume your new business really takes off and within a few months you have outgrown your new office. If you'r

I like uncomplicated websites, with a simple layout and easy navigation. A nice, simple layout, with good graphics, balanced look and good color combinations is my #1 goal when designing a small business web site. Remember to use graphics sparingly and to optimize them for your website because internet surfers are impatient. If your page loads too slowly, they’ll leave.

Navigation should be easy to find and to use, and it should be consistent from page to page. I’ve left more than one site frustrated because I couldn’t easily find their navigation.

Small business web sites aren’t static. They evolve. You need to start somewhere, and starting with an introductory web site is probably easiest. All you really need to start is five pages. You can alway

We must venture into the unknown with love and prayers illuminating the path. Our journey must take us through the unfamiliar territory of personal change. The milestones that we pass will indicate whether we have diluted our egos and moved onto to a trajectory of learning and humility. To remain rooted in the past is to be washed away again. To venture again into the uncertain is life itself….
