Have You Captured Me Today?
There are many Web sites I visit every day and will probably never return to again. It's not that I didn't like the site, or that I wasn't interested in the topic, services, or products offered. It's just that I wasn't ready to take action right now. So I clicked away and will probably forget about them.

Try Listening for a Change
We are a society of people who work hard at the art of persuasion. We work to persuade our customers and prospects, our co-workers, our children, and just about any one else we can get to listen to us. But we’re not too good at listening and that is a shame because opportunities come when you listen hard.<

There are a few metrics that give us a sense of where New Orleans stands relative to a half-year ago before Katrina. The Times-Picayune tells us that population is at 41% in the City, then gives other measures for the metro area: the labor force is at 68%; 91% of hotels are open, though many rooms are occupied by locals at FEMA’s expense. Restaurants are estimated at 37%, while hospital beds are at 50%.

Would it be useful to have one number that represents a composite of the measurables, with a lot of informed subjectivity? John Vinturella calls that number the Hospitality Index (HI), and suggests that it represents how N.O. is faring in terms of its "hospitality" toward people who live in the City, those that expect to return, and other visitors.

Dr. Vinturella lost two houses and a car in the storm, but assures us that his loved ones are well, and that he was adequately insured (assuming that the insurers will eventually pay reasonable claims). With all the misery inflicted by the storm, John feels personally lucky, a victim

The Effects of Hiring The Wrong Employee
Employing the right employees is essential to having a healthy business because your employees represent your business. If you hire employees who are inadequate at their job, you will loose customers and a loss of customers translates to a loss of revenue. In short, your employees can effect the quality of y

Do You Have A Sales Advisory Board?
Becoming successful in sales and staying motivated without the help of others in some type of support system – formal or informal – can be a difficult assignment for anyone. Life is filled with challenges, problems, questions, adversity, risk and uncertainty. Yes, it also has its share of joy, peace, harmo

Work At Home Inbound Call Centers
Call centers have become an important aspect of any successful business. They fulfill the need for communication between a company and its customers. Businesses usually have their own in-house call centers, while others employ the services of other call center solutions companies.Usually, call centers

It is Human Nature to Propagate
Many believe that it is human nature to make up stories, embellish and tell tall tales. Indeed it appears that these folks who say this are right, it must be human nature, because it is getting harder and harder to get a straight answer out of people? Maybe it is all this political correctness that people ha

The informed subjectivity comes from his experiences as an “urban warrior,” fighting his way through packed streets looking for a grocery, a gym, a dry cleaner, a barber shop, and a restaurant where wait time is less than an hour. All the while he is living in an unfamiliar part of town and paying exorbitant rent.

HI may be thought of as a measure of how inviting and supportive the City feels to its constituents relative to some norm representing New Orleans before the storm. We hope that, on some characteristics, the Index can exceed 100%, that is, where performance in some category is better than before the storm. Ethics in government and effectiveness of the public school system come immediately to mind.

How many of you have heard, like I did when I was first started out, 'Man, you get into private practice and it is so hard, and it is so much competition, and you'll never make it'? We've all heard that

Nervous about your next presentation? Does standing in front of a live audience make you want to run and hide? You more than likely to need to spend more time on planning, and less time on needless worry. New Zealand presentations coach and media trainer Greg Ward explains.

Einstein said that one should use 90% of the available time to understand the problem. I'm not suggesting anyone spend 27 days of a 30 day cycle analyzing the solicitation but five to seven days isn't unreasonable and it will save you time and energy on the back end. So what do you do during this time?
