    Designing a Supply Chain for Demand and Supply Side Uncertainty
    Supply chain management is a powerful management tool to win over competition. Well designed supply chain for different products will look different. Supply chain for supplying pasta will be different from supply chain for selling fashion jewelry or rushing airline spare parts. Supply chain for producing and delivering pasta will be designed for productivity and efficiency. Supply chain for airline spare parts or offshore drilling equipment will give utmost importance to timely delivery and availability at any cost. Nature of the product, customer expectation, produc

    The Sound of Business - Part III
    How to Give Good Sonic Personality©We live in an age of metrics. Traditional and new media advertising agencies often substitute metrics for understanding. Mathematical models create the appearance of scientific analysis, when in fact they are often manipulated to support a preselected agenda. We all know data can be massaged to conform to almost any conclusion. Besides, most small owner-managed companies can't afford the expense of these agency-driven number crunching solutions. The real question is, do these metrics actually help us connect to
    When you put time or money into any marketing plan, your only objective is to MAKE A SALE. Are you sure your marketing is going to get your customer from their couch to your cash register?

    When somebody hears your message or sees your logo from some medium you have created, what does the path from that first ‘touch’ to your cash register look like?

    We call this path the yellow brick road. If your yellow brick road is well built, then your customer will follow a developed path from a recognition point to your cash register. If your road is not well built, there is confusion in your message and because of others’ more developed avenues, this customer will end up at your competitor’s cash register. Therefore, your road must stand out, and it must be designed in a way that will lead the customer through a predetermined path with a transaction being the primary goal.

    How to Start Meetings on Time
    1) Make it part of the agenda.Put the arrival time on the agenda. For example, for a meeting scheduled to start at 9:00 AM, you could put "8:50 AM - - - Arrive at the Meeting" at the top of the agenda.An arrival time is useful because it allows everyone time to socialize, obtain coffee, or organize materials before the meeting.

This can be especially welcome for all-day meetings attended by p

    Customer Service
    Now here is a function that has got the hackles of nearly everyone up at some time or the other. For all of us have had a bad experience with customer service.Let me show you what I mean.We do not have that item. Up front it is understood that a store has the right to stock and sell what it chooses. What is frustrating is when you go to favorite large store, or a large discount store, or any full service store, who give the impression that they have whatever you want, and you go in looking for a particular item you need, and hear those words "we do not

    Employees Benefits
    We spend about half of our life time at work. That’s why choosing the job and the working environment is so important to us. Almost every single person is expecting the company to be loyal and trustworthy. Organization is interested in motivating its employees as it helps to increase the company’s productivity.Discretionary benefits and benefits required by law can stimulate some confusion in many of us.

    Testing Your Yellow Page Ad Is Easy
    How would you like to guarantee the absolute highest profits possible from your Yellow Page ad? Think about that for second. What if, before you commit to a one year long, unbreakable contract with your phone company, that you have an ad that will flood you with new business?Would you be quivering with the excitement of anticipation?

Because in your hands you will have a proven, tested

    An example of a marketing plan without any such road is one that puts advertising out into the community and does not have a clear actionable next step; or one that has the clear and actionable step, but the step is too big for the customer who is not ready to make an immediate purchase. A person who has been casually contemplating the purchase of your product will not react to a “One Day Sale Next Friday” advertisement. She may consider dropping by your store next Friday during your advertised sale, but chances are that will be forgotten after five minutes. This customer has no path to follow because the timing and the conditions were not yet right for her.

    Your advertising in this case, has been somewhat wasted. A woman who will make a purchase in the next six months received it, but the only option that you gave he
