Everyone has difficult clients, the ones that make you wince when they call, you dread meeting with, and you lose sleep thinking about sending your bill to and having to deal with their adverse reaction. However, there are simple steps you can take to improve your business relationships with these loose cannons. The following are six ways to handle difficult clients:1. Watch for warning signals. It's easier to not start a relationship than it is to sever an ongoing relationship. When you are interviewing potential new clients keep an eye out for warning signs such as potential conflict
Hire Slow, Fire Fast
The first and most important resolution you can make in the New Year is to stop waiting until the last minute to hire a new employee and stop letting the dead weight in your department drag the rest of the group down. Management is not an easy task, and hiring always seems to end up on the bottom of the ‘to do’ list. Because of this, managers always tend to rush the hiring process since they, “needed someone yesterday.”
Resolve to make your life easier this year by being proactive when it’s time to hire a new employee. By taking the appropriate amount of time to hire talented candidates, you’ll save yourself the future management headaches that come from rushed hiring mistakes.
Similarly, commit to terminating those employees that aren’t meeting your expectations on a consistent basis. This resolution is a little harder to execute since these people rarely do anything to overtly attract your attention to their poor performance. By establishing clear performance expectati
To any serious entrepreneurs, I ask following question:What do you think of those big flashy and funny ads you see during the superbowl?If you're like most people, you'd probably say "I think they're funny". Maybe you'd say they're ridiculous...I don't know.But here's something I do know:As far as generating sales goes...these "million dollar" works of "art" are good at only one thing...Burning Money!Sure, they might create a surge of "Brand Awareness". And that might be good for a huge fortune 500 company.But for the solo-infopreneur, for the guy (or

Malls have effectual marketing avenues available to help promote stores. Retail stores pay a high rental fee. Mall management wants to insure the success of those stores. They do not want to loose revenue that comes from profit yielding spaces.Listed below are a few tools that malls offer that can be used to generate a sizeable retail profit.1. Lease lines. Most malls allow stores to use a small space outside their store front to advertise. This is an important marketing tool because it can be used for several purposes. In my opinion the most effective way to use the lease lin

Do you remember how proud you were the first time you saw your name in print?Most entrepreneurs feel that same flush of pride when they gaze on their new business cards. That small piece of paper represents years of planning and effort and hard work and dreams. The thrill of seeing "your name in print" on a business card is hard to beat.Unfortunately, other people couldn't care less. Your business card, the one you're so proud of, is just another advertisement ? another piece of clutter to file. It's no more or less important than any of the many business cards that cross a prospect

Women have been in the white-collar workforce for a generation, but plenty of things about them still puzzle many a male manager. As an HR leader and working women for a generation myself, I've compiled this Top Ten list of tidbits that the women in your workplace would love for you to know.1) View me as myself, not a stand-in for The Working Woman.Women tell stories, when they get together, about being the token woman in the management meeting, the only woman in the sales meeting, the only woman on the business trip. That's not the bad part - the bad part is being viewed as a speci
Stop Selling Your Jobs
One of the easiest mistakes in hiring is getting overly excited about great candidates and trying to sell them on all the reasons why they should take your job. This can lead to incorrect assumptions about the position, resulting in unexpected turnover and an overall bad fit.
To solve this problem in the New Year, commit to creating realistic performance expectations in writing for every employee you intend to hire. This should include a dated timeline of expected accomplishments for the first 30 to 180 days of the job depending on the complexity and breadth of responsibilities.
Once you’ve documented these expectations, openly communicate them to any candidate that is being considered. Also, don’t hesitate to talk about the struggles and challenges that a candidate might have. This open communication should weed out unmotivated candidates as well as energize those ready for the task.
