    Bringing Enjoyment Back Into Work!
    Change is a fact of life, but that doesn't always mean that we are happy with the change, or that change is necessarily right. For instance, it is often the case that Changes introduced in one part of an organisation with the intention of improving matters, create problems elsewhere. Unchecked, the likely results of this are divisiveness, internal competition and distrust. Again unchecked, a blame culture takes root and empire building develops, and the combination of a blame culture and empire-building takes the entire organisation further and further away from the customer and their requirements. Some people "get lucky"; others
    Your marketing could be pulling in clients and profits like a magnet. Think about how many people could benefit from your products and services. Even if only a fraction of them bought from you, you'd be amazingly successful.

    It doesn't matter if the economy is headed up or down, there are plenty of people looking to spend money to solve their problems and meet their needs. People are happy to spend money on things they want, whether it's a five thousand dollar painting, five-dollar cup of coffee, a golf lesson, a new computer or a new web site.

    With all these prospects searching for products and services to buy, how can you attract more of them and increase your profits?

    Makes sense that the best way to get people to spend money is to give them what they want. But, and here's the amazing thing, most small businesses don't market to what their prospects want. Too much small business marketing is about the business owner and what he or she wants, not what the client wants.

    Typically, ads or web site pages begin with;

    - The name of the business - A picture of the product, the owner, or the company's headquarters - A list of product names - A company history - Company hours and contact information

    Many small business owners use this format because they see everyone else doing it. While it may be the most common approach, it's usually the least effective.

    When a prospect views an ad or a website that doesn't speak to their needs, they ignore it. Even if the prospect wants the product or service you're selling, chances are they won't respond. They've got too many choices of similar ads from competitors and will end up just choosing the last one they looked at. To stand out from your competition, get a response to your marketing and increase your sales and profits, you need to take a different approach.

    To get attention and grow your business, you need to focus your marketing on what your prospects want, then once you've got their attention you can work on building a mutually profitable relationship.

    Give Your Prospects a Reason to Buy

    Your prospects are out there searching for your products and services but they're doing so as fast as they can surf the net, flip the pages of a magazine, sort their mail or scan the yellow pages. Give them a reason to stop and read your ad, sales letter or web site. "Welcome" or a company name or simply naming your product won't grab their attention.

    Tell your prospects how you are going to help them. Tell them how they'll benefit from your products or services. You want this information to jump out at prospects when they see your materials.

    You may be thinking, "How can this work, when every large corporation in the U.S. features its brand name in their ads? Every magazine I read is full of these brand-focused ads."

    Focusing on a brand or company name is important for multinationals like Coke or Nike, but keep in mind that these companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year building brand awareness and maintaining their brand image in every media and every market. Without a hefty advertising budget, this approach won't work for you.

    27 Exhibiting Do's and Don'ts
    1. Do: Research a show carefully before you decide to exhibit. Does this show attract a large number of people from your target audience? Tradeshow participation takes a lot of time, energy and resources. You don't want to spend them on folks who are unlikely ever to do business with you. 2. Don't: Be afraid to ask questions. Show organizers have all kinds of information that new exhibitors would benefit from knowing. Ask about attendee demographics, exhibitor's requirements, and what assistance you can expect from the show's staff. 3. Do: Start planning early. Regular tra

    So You Were Wrong
    I once worked for a boss who was never wrong, never made a mistake or a bad decision. All you had to do was ask him. To his staff he was Teflon-man. Nothing stuck to him and everything came sliding toward us.Accountability was not a concept he practiced unless things turned out well and then, he claimed the credit. But if they didn't, he immediately embarked on endeavors to identify someone responsible. Being called to his office typically meant he was looking for information and trying to decide whom to blame.Justify. Justify. Justify. Like a battle cry, he commissioned reports, graphs, charts and enhanced documenta
