Lesson #4: A Healthy Dose of Paranoia Will Put You Ahead of the Curve

Personal Branding - How To Jump Start Your Home Business
Though it may sound like a high-concept marketing idea, personal branding is actually a very simple way of selling yourself as a package. This can be done in the same way that one would sell a service or product, with identifying the consumer that you will be selling to, and then figuring out how to best serve their needs.

Is having a website a requirement in the RFQ RFP process today
Member Question: I have a question, for those actively participating in the RFQ & RFP process today. We had a client request we put up one page of his newly developed site, even though it was in the production phase and not close to finalization. He requested we upload one page, disconnect the links, and post. In further discussion he explained, having a website was part of a RFQ submission requirement. Both concerned are privately held corporations and both in the US. Has this become a standard requirement in the RFQ/RFPprocess? If so, in what cases and industries is it required? My Response: The statement that “having a website was part of RFQ submission requirement,” demonstrates that the “myths” surrounding discredited supply chain practices continue to persist.
