Member You - FTC Franchise Rule if Enacted will Trigger Hardship for Private Sector
Make Your Office a Paper Free Zone
IntroductionWhen I received an SMS message from the Abu Dhabi Police, I was a little surprised. It was in Arabic, so I couldn't read it, but I quickly had it interpreted and it was a reminder that my motor vehicle registration was due to expire soon. I was pleasantly surprised. Surprised that a country that is incredibly paper bound in some areas, is doing something to overcome paper warfare and move gradually to electronic communications in others. It certainly doesn't happen in my home country, Australia, registration renewal still arrives in the mail.This got me to thinking about the work I had done to make my home-based business (and the rest of my life) as paper free as possible and details of those strategies follow.Ce

60 Hour Work Weeks - Can You and Your Career Survive Them
In the 80s while I was an account executive for AT&T most people in my organization worked normal (for then) business hours. By that I mean they arrived close to 8 or 8:30AM and left between 5 and 5:30PM. By 6 PM the office was empty. No one seemed to notice or care how many hours people worked.

Several times however when I had a big sale pending I would stay late to get the contract in order or to put the final touches on a big proposal or presentation. On those occasions I would get teased by my colleagues. They thought I was nuts for not waiting until morning to finish the work.How times have

Three Way Mirror Dresses up Retail Dressing Room Space
As far as customers are concerned, there is one part of the store that all retailers should focus more attention on: the dressing room. Recent customer feedback surveys, conducted by several major retailers, found that customers list dressing rooms among the parts of the store that they would like to see improved.In the past, the dressing room was just a place customers went to try on clothes and make sure they fit. Retailers are now beginning to understand that the time customers spend in the dressing room is one of the most critical points of their sales process, and they’re making changes to reflect that understanding.Competition is stiff in the retail apparel industry and being successful today does not always guarantee that you will

Are you spending massive money to train your sales force and seeing very little results? You may be tempted to throw your hands in the air and declare that sales training doesn’t work.It may be that you are overlooking a key element in the sales training process. It is important to understand that training your sales force is a process which takes time. Each salesperson processes information differently; some learn better visually while for others it is more oral or written format.
