Find marketing partners
| |
| A marketing partner is another business which can complement your business or help to refer new customers your way in exchange for reciprocal referrals.
A good example of this is if you leave some of your leaflets in the sales area of a fellow business, preferable in the same town or area as your business and in exchange you have their leaflets in your reception area.
To take this concept a little further you could introduce promotional schemes; for example...you could put on your sales literature "When you buy a pizza you get 20% discount off of XYZ video store". At the same time as you offering this you can get XYZ video store to offer a similar promotion so that when a customer rents a video they will get 20% off pizzas at ABC pizza store. |

Attitude, Belief, and Confidence...the ABC's of Sales
| |
| I once believed that in sales, if I could just learn that one killer closing statement, that one closing technique that worked every time, all my troubles would be over. Unfortunately, that statement and that technique do not exist. Don’t get me wrong; there are proper techniques that are extremely helpful in the sales process. Proper sales skills cannot be discounted. However, the three areas that will outshine rusty or nonexistent skills are the ABC’s of sales; and the lesson I quickly learned was that there is a balancing act. |

Do you speak the universal language of business?
| |
| Communication is one of the obvious cornerstones of a successful sales career. You need to speak the language of the country where you're doing business. You need to know and understand each industry's specific lingo. You need to have a solid grip on the unique dialect of executives with different functional responsibilities. You need to be particularly fluent in the one language common to every decision-making executive. |

Warehouse Intelligence Versus Warehouse Management The Baxter Advantage Baxter Planning Systems Profile
| |
| Network Member Question:
“What is the best equation to prepare a costing for spare parts in an electronic repair center?”
Baxter Answer (Mark Anderson, Vice President, Supply Chain Solutions):
“I think we would need more precise information about your environment to offer specific pricing equations, so I’ll use this opportunity to talk in general about service parts.
There are unique characteristics to service parts to be considered. First, there are the large number of parts (generally) that you will need to perform repair. There is also a unique pattern to demand of these items. In Pricing, consideration should be given to the criticaity of each part and the part’s lifecycle (new, growing, mature, phasing out, discontinued). Of course, pricing of your competitors is also a consideration.

Asset - Thinking about the Needs of Others
| |
| On ABC’s Primetime segment “What Would You Do?” we watch as many men and women walk by individuals in their time of need. We rationalize in our minds that we should not get involved in other people’s business. We allow fear to grip and paralyze us from taking some type of action. No matter what the situation we must use wisdom in dealing with it. However, we can do something can’t we? It is pure selfishness on our part if we see someone being abused in some way or hurting and not do anything about it. We can at least do something. |

How to make title tags optimized for search engines
| |
| I often analyze the content, HTML coding and tag structure, and link structure of websites, from the perspective of being optimized for search engines.
