As the business world has become more competitive for the shrinking markets available to them, companies have shifted their focus from hiring the most educated or experienced graduate, to hiring those employees with personal pluses as well as the job skills.Right now,
After doing a short consultation at their Illinois headquarters, I was asked to send in a proposal.
On the return plane ride, I banged out the major part of the proposal, and with a little editing, I sent it off a day or two later, by email.
That was one heck of a mistake.
Email is great for lots of things, but it isn’t the best format for pitching a six or seven figure deal, for at least a few reasons:
(1) The prospect has to print it out, and it may look lousy. Few people in major companies make decisions by themselves. Approvals are required, so someone unfamiliar with you and your charisma is going to pass judgment on what he sees. If it looks pathetic, physically, or aesthetically, you’re toast.
(2) More ceremony is required for people to feel they’re getting their money’s worth. If you put together a handsome package, containing books, videos, brochures, testimonials, and the like, it’s simply going to make a better impression.
(3) Speed of transmission is less critical in selling big deals, and too much speed can connote haste. The big advantage of email is its speed; without that need, re-consider using it. Overnight delivery services are a bargain, and they’re everywhere.
(4) There was a joke told in graduate schools about how professors evaluate dissertations and publications. “They don’t read,” a fellow student confided. “They count and they weigh.” In other words, if something looks physically substantial, there is merit; if it seems too succinct, too thin, then it is thought to be lightweight, from a desirability standpoint.
(5) Attachments are always suspected to contain viruses. Unless your client is McAfee or Microsoft, which are in the virus scanning business, you breed paranoia with each attachment you transmit, and that isn’t a positive buying mood.

Recently there was an article in USAToday by Edward C. Baig that cast doubt on the value of spending large amounts of money on pricey banner ads.According to Baig, the Nielsen Norman Group, based in Fremont California, recently released a study where the Nielson firm a

Most marketing texts that mention Abraham Maslow’s article on the Hierarchy of Needs only give it a brief overview. We think it important enough for small business owners to devote a couple of articles to the subject. This is the first of those articles.The 5 needs:

Letters of recommendation are very powerful third-party endorsements aids to closing sales. They can also be considered "captured word-of-mouth." The problem is most companies don’t typically have as many letters of recommendation as they need for a successful business to bus
