Companies spend millions of dollars trying to decipher what’s behind the buying behaviors of retail consumers.But, what about B2B decision-makers? According to Bryan Eisenberg in an article at ClickZ, most B2B business decision-makers fall into one of four preference categories -- methodical, spontaneous, humanistic or competitive. Depending on the style of decision-maker you are trying to reach, you will want to set up your Web pages in certain ways. Here are the four preference categories:Methodical decision-makers: M
The first step is to start viewing yourself as a business, one that needs to keep selling in order to prosper. Then you have to cultivate the attitude that you aren’t asking your boss or other potential internal customers to do you any favors. Instead, you need to beat around th
Surveys are distributed online by companies who are looking for people to review their new products and services. These companies distribute surveys because it allows them to collect market research from an array of people. Different surveys will pay different amounts just depending on what the company is willing to pay to get your information.You have to be careful about paid surveys and the type of information that they require as well. There are several paid surveys online that simply require your name and email address w
If you’re like most employees, you think of yourself as a pawn. You think it is up to ‘’them’’ to promote you. Being honest, you don’t want to ingratiate yourself with your boss, flatter him or butter him up. You might also hate selling yourself if that means talking a lot about how great you are. So, you keep your head down and work hard, waiting for your boss to come along and tap you on the shoulder. When it doesn’t happen, what do you do? Again, if you’re like most employees, you start showing your resentment. You start complaining about being overlooked, demanding your rights.
But this is a lose-lose strategy. Try viewing yourself as a business, say a self-employed consultant or service provider. If you were indeed running your own business, how far do you think you would get complaining to your customers for not buying your services? Or, what is almost as bad, just waiting around doing a good job hoping that your customers will see your worth and voluntarily start giving you more business.
The problem with the employee mindset is that you think you don’t have to keep selling yourself once you’re in the door. This is just not reality. You can never stop selling yourself. The only question is how to do it without feeling that you are compromising your integrity.

*Diversity refers to the broad mix of people currently or soon to be a part of your organization. It exists whenever you encounter anyone who has a view of the world, or "paradigm", different from your own. **Managing diversity is a deliberate effort to create a work environment that allows these differences to contribute equally to the common goals of the organization.Managing diversity emerged as a key strategic issue in the1990's. Unfortunately, for some, it has also emerged as the latest ne

You don’t have to be a genius to recognize that a lot of money is tied up in MRO inventory ….especially if your business requires the use of capital-intensive equipment. Literally millions of dollars are tied up in spare parts for day-to-day Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO).Historically, no one ever really ‘owned’ inventory, so stocking another item “just in case” had very few, if any repercussions. Inventory was often seen as a necessary evil of doing business. The term Inventory Management was almost an oxymoron. Th

When it comes to getting a great massage the most important step is always to seek out that massage therapist who has the ability to work magic on our bodies. The experience is different for everyone but, ultimately, if you find the therapist with whom you can be comfortable and relax – and who professionally and adeptly performs this strenuous work to your specific liking - than you have found the key to a really enjoyable massage.For the massage therapist, the process of a massage can be physically grueling work. Often, a the
The first step is to start viewing yourself as a business, one that needs to keep selling in order to prosper. Then you have to cultivate the attitude that you aren’t asking your boss or other potential internal customers to do you any favors. Instead, you need to beat around the bushes looking for ways you can help them. There is no use going to them and asking if they have a better job for you. That’s like a consultant asking a client what other work they could give him. The problem with this approach is twofold. First, you’re making the customer do all the hard work of figuring out how to use you. Second, you’re putting both you and the customer on the spot by asking a closed (yes/no) question.
What you have to do instead is grab every opportunity you can with them to ask diagnostic questions that will help you figure out for yourself where they might have some gaps that you could fill. Ask questions about what your existing main customer (your boss) or other potential customers are trying to achieve, what’s important to them, what’s keeping them awake at night, how their big projects are going, etc.
This strategy has a number of benefits. First, by just asking questions like these, you show interest in your customer’s business. Showing such interest is a much more effective way to sell yourself simply because you’re focusing on your customer’s needs, not your own. Boasting about what you can do focuses on your own needs and can be simply boring, if not actually annoying. People like to talk about what’s important to them and they welcome anyone who wants to listen, who shows an interest.
