    Breaking Bureaucracy
    Have you ever thought that your unconventional way of viewing the workplace tends to create cold sweat down the back of your boss? That is if he is a bureaucrat - a custodian of the status quo! It’s not really old fashioned shoes or light green krimpilene trousers that make your boss’s management style so outdated. It is his closed mindset, which passionately resists change and obsessively trea

    So, this service goes way beyond searching catalogs with only the "As Seen On TV" gadgets, and gets into some serious niche product information.

    Back before the Internet, search engines, and online research, catalogs actually represented an inexpensive way for vendors to publish product information targeting a niche audience.

    Security Cameras in Nursing Homes - Useful or Wasteful?
    To install or not to install?This question is at the forefront of debates concerning the management of nursing homes. At present, the issue of whether or not to put security cameras in nursing homes and where these should be placed is extremely controversial and is far from resolved.Merits of Installing Security Cameras in Nursing HomesThe most important argument in favor o
    One of the great joys of the holiday season involves receiving the stack of catalogs that invariably clog the mailbox at the end of my driveway.

    Not withstanding the hernia I get from carrying them to the house, or the three acres of rainforest timber it took to print them, holiday catalogs provide a never-ending opportunity to look at stuff I don't want to buy.

    Unfortunately, when I do finally decide what I want to buy for those on my holiday shopping list, I find the one catalog I need mysteriously absent from the 6-foot stack.

    Fortunately, a new service at Google makes hunting through catalogs to find the perfect gift for yourself or others an absolute breeze.

    Log on to http://catalogs.google.com/ and test out Google's latest offering in an attempt to organize all information on the planet.

    At the time of this writing, Google's database of catalogs boasts over 6,000 catalogs covering everything from golf to music to footwear.

    The index allows you to browse catalog content either by entering keywords in a search box, or choosing categories in their directory-style listings.

    If you want the latest L.L. Bean or Harry and David catalog (or any other), you can perform a search for a specific catalog by name.

    If Google doesn't carry a specific catalog, you can click the "Help Google Add More Catalogs" link on the main page of the catalogs directory to suggest they take a look at it.

    I personally think Google is very serious about developing this service because they do something here I've never seen them do before: they provide a physical mailing address and invite you to actually "snail mail" them a catalog you want added.

    I decided to put the service to the ultimate test by searching for what, at least for me, represents the ultimate catalog purchase from 2003: the singing trout (a.k.a. the "Boogie Bass")!

    If they could find that honey of a holiday gift, the service gets my seal of approval.

    Of course, in a nanosecond, Google found it in multiple catalogs along with such holiday gems as the "singing fish" and the "TV Caddy."

    On a serious note, a search for "Ford F250 accessories" yielded some very helpful information on catalogs where I can get parts and goodies for my truck.

    So, this service goes way beyond searching catalogs with only the "As Seen On TV" gadgets, and gets into some serious niche product information.

    IT Marketing: Your Elevator Pitch
    An elevator pitch is basically a quick introduction that doesn't sound too canned. You want to work on fine-tuning something that is anywhere from ten to twenty seconds. You use this speech whenever you meet a prospect that you meet at any kind of event. Your pitch should talk about what your company does, what makes you unique, and why they want to consider you.

    What's In a Business Card?
    Over the years as I have attended trade shows, networking meetings, chamber events and more; I have noticed a few things about the successful and the not so successful. First of all, do you have a business card? If you belong to a large corporation, you were probably issued business cards as a matter of course, almost as if it was a company perk. If you are in a small or home-bas

    Sales Resistance on the Rise
    Have you noticed it? More and more marketing campaigns are going over the top. They're trying bolder, more in-your-face tactics. And consumers DON'T like it.There's a growing resistance toward advertising. According to a recent study by Yankelovich Partners (a marketing company) 60% of consumers have a much more negative opini

    The only drawback to Google's new catalog browser is that you can't circle the items you really want (writing on your monitor tends to damage it) and then strategically leave the catalog where Santa (or your wife) can conveniently find it and catch a clue as to your greatest wish.

    But, you can always send Santa a web link to the items on your list!
