The Burden of Payroll
And I am not talking about the actual time and cost of getting your employees paid, but all those costs often not considered when providing a customer an estimate or proposal or not included in budgets and financial planning.The cost burden of payroll includes all expenses incurred over and above an employee’s wage. To get to the true hourly cost of an employee you need to take these into consideration. The employer’s share of FICA, Medicare, and State and Federal unemployment taxes are common examples of payroll burden, however there are others to include in your payroll costs.Workman’s compensation

Customer Service Speaker Cites 5 Reasons Flying Sucks!
Having just come back from what was otherwise a delightful trip abroad, I started stewing about the lousy return flight I took.Why was this experience the absolute worst part of the trip, surpassing the bad plumbing and other inconveniences that I suffered?That flight is emblematic of the five reasons flying sucks:(1) Flying wastes time. Having to check in hours before a flight is unnecessary. When you calculate this lost time, along with what it takes to drive to an airport, park the car, and catch a shuttle, it makes driving to your destination, if it is within 300-400 miles, seem more conve

I can’t tell you how many businesses I’ve seen fall prey to these marketing parasites. Every year, like clockwork, they make the rounds trying to get you to buy expensive radio advertising or costly phone book ads. They say that you need all the bells and whistles to really get your message out and you end up paying them too much for too little. Maybe this has happened to you before, maybe it hasn’t. Either way if you’re an entrepreneur or in small-business you need to protect yourself from these money pits.

Most businesses don’t realize that to be successful all they really need is to have a marketing plan. They need to know what to do, when to do it, and most importantly why they should do it. Without a solid marketing plan they waste thousands of dollars on unproductive ads, costly phone book covers, or easily identifiable junk mail. All of this because some sales representative happened to stop by with a “deal”.

Let me ask you a question: If that rep was so good at marketing, how come he’s still going door to door cold-prospecting for someone else – instead of using his “expertise” to market his own successful business!?

Business Cards
Business cards are a modern variation of calling cards and trade cards. Calling cards were used as means of introduction. These were used by messengers to announce the arrival of their superiors beforehand. The cards collected would serve as a list of who have came and went, and whose visit was to be reciprocated. Similar to their original purpose, business cards serve as a reminder of a social or business encounter.The person the card has been left with will have a tangible reminder of the meeting and is left with the owner of the contact information. Soon enough, the need to exchange contact information g

Finding the Right T-shirt Supplier for T-Shirt Printing
Put T-shirts or polo-shirts in to Google and dozens of suppliers will be returned, but how do you decide who to buy from?Generally speaking, it’s best to stick to the products from tried and tested manufactures. Companies such as Hanes, Fruit of the Loom and Gildan are all proven distribution outlets and you can view their catalogues online.You don’t have to take the online route to managing your suppliers. But there’s no doubt that the convenience of being able to order when its convenient for you, day or night, can be very useful.Make sure that you’re working with an established wholesaler o

Truths for Introverts Who Sell: What We Don't Need To Learn The Extroverted Hard Way – Part Four
Most of the eye contact research being done recently is around people telling the truth. And there is substantial research that eye contact communicates caring and interest. For introverts in one to one communications this is a naturally strong asset.I have good eye contact when listening.In the medical field and in the professional speaking profession, the statistics bear out that if you want someone to know, feel or see that you are listening to them, then you want to have eye contact with them 60% to 80% of the time. More than this is staring and deceptive. Less than this is lack of sinceri

Barcode Printers for Your Business
Choosing the right barcode printer for your needs can be a bit overwhelming. There are a few questions you must ask yourself before buying a printer. The first is what are you printing? Most people use a thermal barcode printer to print labels or tags. The paper that runs through these printers isn't standard laser paper. Depending on what printer you buy, it may require a certain type of paper. Smaller, desktop printers are great for running small batches of labels or tags. These printers are typically direct thermal only; meaning they use a heat sensitive paper. Direct thermal labels are fine for shipping

Well let me tell you what their “deal” is… These reps thrive on selling pretty ads that will “build” your companies brand. Heck, if you are lucky you may win awards for how cute or ground-breaking they are. But, unless it comes with a cash prize, how does any award help your bottom line? Make no mistake: these guys don’t have a clue how to get a customer… that’s not their job.

For example, take those super bowl ads that they run year after year. Consider the millions that are spent by dozens of companies every year for a 30 second spot. Sure they are fun and entertaining, always good for a laugh… but when was the last time you jumped up and ran to the store to buy one of their products – right then? We all know that never happens. You want marketing that gets your customer to jump up right now and buy your product – before it’s too late! You want the type of marketing that gets direct results. Think about the last Super Bowl… do you ever remember what products they were advertising?

The problem is that those ‘ad guys’ get paid based on the amount of money they can get you to spend on their advertising. The more you spend the more he makes. Does that make sense? You see they don’t get paid based on how much new business you get, they get paid based on how much money they get you to spend. That’s the complete opposite of how marke

Why is it important to always be professional in your business dealings? Professionalism should be in place at all times from business meetings to networking events.

Infomercials are television commercials, often referred to as “paid programming,” which are typically aired during off-peak hours, such as late at night or early in the morning. The word “infomercial” is in fact a combination of the two words “information” and “commercial.” Unlike standard commercials, however, infomercials typically have vibrant, and often famous, hosts promoting a product or service.
