Offsite Backups Provide Digital Peace of Mind
In today’s fast paced data-centric world of personal computers and consumer/business electronics (such as PDAs and digital media players) we have, as a society, developed a reliance on digital data. We have particularly developed a dependence on data stored on various magnetic media such as hard drives, removable disks, and magnetic tape. While some computer users may never have had a problem with loss of data due to viruses, Internet worms or file corruption, most of us have at some time experienced the frustration and loss of productivity that comes with the loss of comp

Where Would We Be Without Paper
As we all know paper was invented by the Chinese about 3000 years ago. In those days the European equivalent was leather and in Egypt we had papyrus. From all these three it seems that the only one to survive was the Chinese paper. The paper didn’t only survive but it became world wide used and actually it became some of the most important discoveries of man kind. If we were to take the historical importance of paper … a whole book could be written. Even in the modern age of technology that it is believed we are know living paper is very much still alive and kickin. Let's f
First impressions are critical and it’s imperative when you approach others that you watch their behavior. It’s a great learning tool. You will easily learn the wrong and right ways of conducting business to improve your business image.As we all know paper was invented by the Chinese about 3000 years ago.

For instance, do you get upset when you attend a conference and some thoughtless person lets their cell phone ring? This person faces a dilemma; picking it up to turn it off, everyone in attendance will throw darts with their eyes; but if the person allows it to continue to ring the noise will ruin that portion of the presentation.
Have you ever been in the middle of expressing a thought just when another person interrupted to express hers? Most likely you were very frustrated and made to feel insignificant.
Today’s newsletter is a holiday gift to remind you to be aware of your presence in front of others, in order to make a better first impression. And, hopefully, this will serve to remind others to be more mindful when they come upon those of us who know better!

3. Avoid taking calls when you are in a meeting
4. When your appointment arrives, do your best to end the phone conversation or ask to call back, acknowledging the arriving party.
Speaking to Others:

2. Do not watch others come and go while you are having a conversation
3. Take an active interest in what is being said
Attending Meetings, Events and Conventions:
1. Be courteous to vendors, don’t interrupt
2. Smile and say “hello” even as you are passing them by

Target Your Market
Your market is not everybody, as so many small businesses assume. It is the people/organizations who need, want, have the money--and the willingness--to pay for what you are offering. Identifying them can be complicated and expensive, or it can be relatively painless and cheap.How much do you need to know about them? Enough to have all the clues on how to reach them, and what to say, when you do. Finding your target is vital, so whatever method you choose, do it properly and test your assumptions.ResearchThe best place to start is with what you

1. Let the sending party know the items were received, don’t make them call
2. Say “Thank you”
Receiving Gifts:
1. Promptly hand write a thank you note
2. In your note and voice mail – say something specific about the gift, how the thought brought you joy and that you are very appreciative
Giving Gifts: 1. The gift should be proportionate to the amount of business and within your budget
2. A thoughtful note with the gift will be kept
3. Give something you are certain the other person will like
Being treated to a restaurant meal:
1. Let the treating party choose their seat
2. Facing the window or door is usually the power seat – and the waiter will know to provide the check to that person.
3. Try to stay within the same price range of what your host orders
4. Take a cue from your host on whether to order extras such as drinks or dessert
5. Do your best to eat at the same pace as your host
6. If you aren’t certain which bread dish or glass is yours, follow these instructions: Face the palms of your hands away from you with fingers upward; touch your thumbs to the forefingers – you will see the left hand makes a small “b” and the right hand a small “d” symbolizing bread and drink – take the dishes accordingly.
7. Say “thank you” when the bill is paid
8. Offer to leave the tip
9. Send a “thank you” note after the fact
Treating others to a restaurant meal:
1. Choose the power seat to take control
2. Either offer your guest to “choose anything on the menu” or let the other party know what you are ordering.
3. Try to pay for the meal without your guest knowing the total
4. Leave a generous tip
5. Do your best to get to know your guest on a personal level too
These sales etiquette tips will hopefully help you to continually make excellent first impressions times after time!
