Thirteen Proven Lead Generation Tools For Service Businesses From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Is your lead generation tool kit well stocked or almost empty? Or are your lead generation tools rusty and no longer work? What lead generation tools are you using? And are the tools you are using producing results? So many people over so many years have told me that they just cannot grow their service business. After listening to them complain, I ask what and how many lead generation tools they are using? They tell me that they advertised in the Yellow Pages and mailed some letters as their lead generation efforts. Wow, and they are complaining that they do not get enough leads.

The Value Of Knowledge Workers
Generation X has joined the workforce of the new economy. Unlike the baby boomers who preceded them, generation Xers cannot and do not seek like-long learning. The seek employability over employment: they value career self-reliance (Elsdon and Iyer, 1999).

Strategic Tips From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach For Managing The MultiGenerational Work Force
One of the most impactful current dynamics in today’s workplace is the presence of four generations of workers at the same time, which has increased the level of challenges to manage, retain and recruit a skilled work force. These four generations of American workers are: The Veterans - born prior to World War II; The Baby Boomers - born between 1946 and 1964; The Generation Xers – born between 1965 and 1980; and The Generation Ys or Boomerangs – children of Baby Boomers, born after 1980. Each group has its own distinct characteristics, values, and work ethics, based on its generation’s life experiences. This is a huge challenge to business today to successfully integrate these diverse generations to effectively work together. Here are some strategic tips for managing a multigenerational work force.

How Compelling is Your Direct Marketing Message?
This article talks to how to improve your message to make it resonate with more would-be customers. It also takes into consideration generational attributes, particularly the Gen-Xers that are one of the largest purchasing audiences today.
The Past, Present and Future Workforce
According to business surveys, there are currently 4 generations in the workplace. Those born before 1945 (called Veterans), those born between 1945 and mid-1960 (called Boomers), those born between 1965 and 1980 (known as Gen Xers), and those born after 1980 (either Nexters or Gen Yers). This creates a minimum age span difference of at least 35 years. This may not seem to be significant by itself, but I remember when I turned 21, I thought 35 was ancient. Now that I am a part of the seasoned generation (also known as the middle of the road between the Veterans and Boomers), 35 is a youngster.

Design a Lead Generation Scorecard
“Lead Generation refers to the creation or generation of prospective consumer interest or inquiry into a business’ products or services. Often lead generation is associated with marketing activities, such as cold-calling, targeted at generating new sales opportunities for a company’s sales force. Therefore a “lead” is correctly described as information regarding, or provided by, a consumer that may be interested in making a purchase. “Generation” is one of a myriad of activities that produces contact information and/or interest.” Typical Lead Generation Campaigns

The Battle for Talent is Heating Up, Are You Ready?
This is an interesting time in the history of business - workplace dynamics are in the midst of a huge shift. Baby Boomers in their 60’s are running into the challenges of managing the very different needs of those in the Y generation. In fact, so much focus has been placed on these two sizeable generations colliding in the marketplace, that the generation in between them, Generation X, has been largely forgotten.
Managing Generation Ys
Generation Y is largest generation behind Baby Boomers. Often referred to as Millennials or Generation Next, these workers are just now entering the marketplace and seem to be creating quite a stir in companies all over the world.
