As we go through today’s business cycles of ups and downs, it will not be uncommon for us to experience a layoff or job loss for one reason or another. When a job is loss, it is much like any other loss we experience in our life, (1) an ending, followed by (2) a period of confusion and distress, leading to (3) a new beginning. We feel this sense of loss because overtime we begin to identify ourselves with the circumstances of our lives. Who we think we are is partly defined by the roles and relationships that we have. When you lose a job there are a few things to keep in mind in moving through it:Remember it is not about you. Most businesses lay off based on certain financial targets and commitments they have made to the shareholders, bankers, and/or Board of Directors that may be at risk. Often
You need a jingle written; administrative help; a CAD expert. Or maybe you need a business plan or a new product packaging design. There is a good chance that you have needed some skill at some point that you just don’t have.
Finding talent is frustrating and time-consuming, rarely leaving you satisfied. To find reliable service providers, you ask around, play phone tag, and deal with convoluted referral networks. Every day you search is another that your needs go unfulfilled. Small businesses go through a lot to get the service they need. You know this. You also know – or at least feel – that it shouldn’t be so difficult.

Like my wife, super model Kate Moss was born in England.Unlike my wife, Kate Moss has a little "nose candy" problem.Personally, I don't think it's anyone's business who's doing what -- to each his own. And besides, good ole Kate's probably a saint next to most people in the entertainment industry.However, since, as Thoreau said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them," once the press got a hold of what was going on, they had an absolute field day.Moss has subsequently lost nearly $3 Million Dollars worth of modeling contracts because of this.What happened was, after Kate spent weeks denying her problem, avoiding the issue, and saying nothing, she came out with this statement last week:"I want to apologize to

The traditional customer call once seemed indispensable to the selling process; the time and expense involved were just a basic cost of doing business. In recent years, however, the business community has come to regard the sales call as an expenditure for which there are substitutes. For many companies telemarketing and direct mail have made the sales call a choice not an inevitability. This is not surprising when various studies suggest that getting one sales person in front of one customer now costs ?500 - this cost has trebled since 1983. As a consequence professional salespeople have to be more effective than ever to justify the investment in a face to face effort.In essence, we can draw several conclusions and taken together, these findings paint a picture of the current state of the sales envir

I have been reading the comments recently posted on a major website about a company that began by helping people beautify their homes.They did this by providing great products at a great price backed by excellent Customer Service.This is the success formula that has been the backbone, cornerstone and foundation of every single great Customer Service organization since the dawn of man.Great products at a great price backed by excellent Customer Service.I read a lot of that post and the comments from Customers and the thing that shouts out is the lack of friendly, caring and response-able personnel.

1. Question The Need For The Project The quickest, cheapest and simplest way of improving your organisation's levels of project success is to stop starting new projects. Question whether your new project is really required right now. If you aren't going to do anything different between this new project and a previous project, chances are that this one will fail as well.Instead plan a strategy for improving your project success rates. Once you have begun to implement some of the changes the start new projects. For the time being, stop projects failing by simply not starting any new ones.2. Always Prototype Solutions The use of prototypes will improve the rates of project success. From simple pictures and diagrams to functional working models, prototypes will improve th
