How Are You Doing In Business? A Checklist by Robin J Elliott

Have you had your annual check-up?
With the business enviornment changing so quickly it's important to not only do annual check-ups, but quarterly check-ups.
Checking and Giving References – Both Sides of the Coin
To Check or Not to Check - that is the question many employers ponder. The answer, you should always check and do your due diligence, but do it correctly.
Reference Checks; are they reliable?
There is a big time investment in the recruiting process. The ‘up front’ work does pay dividends - “Hire hard; manage easy” is, I believe, the expression. It works. Many clients ask us to check references when they find a good candidate and we always, but gently, remind them that these references are provided by the candidate and are not, therefore, likely to produce anything remotely negative. Organizations would be better to pay the money to a professional organization
Overcoming the Classic Home Staging Catch 22 Clients or References which comes first
New home stagers always face this dilemma; if you can't get clients without references and a home staging portfolio, how do you get references and photos for a portfolio? The Staging Diva® explains how to work around this classic 'Catch-22'.

Reference Requests for Salespeople
For the first time in months, I was recently asked for references. No problem! But it got me thinking about who asks for references, why they ask for references and when they ask for references...and what salespeople do when they're asked for references, and whether those references lead to closed business. As I thought this through, quite surprisingly, my three largest personal clients - all multi-billion dollar corporations, never asked. Three medium sized companies - over $100 million - never asked. I am personally working with only a handful of smaller companies and only one of them asked. Those insights tie directly to why people ask for references:
How to Void a Check
It's a good idea to be cautious with your checks at all times, this includes voided checks. Maybe writing "void" on the front and back 25 times, shredding, then burning the confetti you just made and burying the ashes in the outback with only a small hand written map to find your way home isn't the most optimum way to go about disposing of them though. Voiding a check is necessary from time to time. By definition voiding a check is not the same as a "stop payment" on a check. Voided checks are often used when setting up a direct deposit for an employee or as proof of a bank account. Still properly knowing how to voice a check is important in business as getting it wrong will mean basically handing a blank check over someone else.

Check Mark Thinking Gives Executives False Sense of Accomplishment
Achievers can fall into the trap of check-mark thinking. They view corporate change as a to-do list. Mission statement - check, Vision - check, Told them what I expect - check, Metrics in place - check. The busy executive then moves on the other things because he or she thought they had "done" everything on the list. Then they begin to see things start to unravel and quickly blame others for not executing properly.

Fake Job Reference Services
You may have heard about new web-based services that are offering fake work histories and references for job seekers. In tough economic times, some unemployed job seekers are taking desperate measures to make up for a spotty work history or poor references. As an employer, this means it's more important than ever that you conduct due diligence on potential employees before you hire them.

Empower, Educate, Create Need and Convert With A Simple Checklist
If you’re an expert, and what you do would require or benefit from regular check-ups or check-ins, then consider a checklist. It can help your clients see the need for your services.
