Generally, people start their business full of enthusiasm and expectations of succeeding on their very first try. They have been duped into thinking that an internet business is easy to set up, requires very little work, does not require working capital, and many other cleverly misleading statements by unscrupulous marketers who lead them to believe that setting up a business is a no-brainer.

Do Not Call
Last week Smartcompany ran a story saying that the Federal Government may include business numbers in the Do Not Call register. What are they talking about? Prospecting for new business via the telephone (referred to as unsolicited phone calls) is still a legitimate and critical business activity necessary for anyone in sales and in business, especially in business to business sales where consumer marketing and advertising strategies do not work effectively. It is a vital activity any business or sales person worth their salt should be doing on a regular basis. Therefore I do not believe that the government should include business numbers in the DO NOT CALL register.

Manage Your Critical Success Indicators
The experts are unanimous! The first step to successfully grow a business is to develop a solid strategic plan. A plan with measurable three year objectives linked directly to one year operational tactics. In fact, my articles constantly extol the merits of strategic plans.

While plans are extremely important they are only half the battle. The plan will give you the road map but you must still manage your business. Unfortunately, few of us have had any serious training in the management of a business and the trial and error approach of learning is fraught with danger.

14 Characteristics of Top-Flight Salespeople
The Difference between The Best And The Also-Rans… As a consultant and trainer in sales and the sales process, I’m often asked the question, “What makes a top-performing salesperson?” As with most things in life, the answer can be summarised in just two words, Attitude and Activity.
