Small business profits – threat or opportunity

Turn-on your television or pick up a newspaper and all that is reported right now, apart from the present swine flu problem, is the "credit crunch" - falling house prices, rising unemployment, businesses going bust, repossessions, bankruptcies and more... So what should small businesses do? Well this depends on whether you see this as an opportunity or a threat. There are no doubt certain businesses that will find these times more difficult than others, for example, only today there are reports about how the number of unemployed lorry drivers has gone up almost 5-fold since this time last year. Where businesses are selling less and therefore resulting in a less of a need for transport, then transport companies will see a dip in demand and as a consequence might need to make redundancies.

Today’s Women at Work have Unique Opportunities

Here’s a news flash: Women are poised to surpass men on the nation’s payrolls for the first time in American history. According to a recent report by the New York Times, four out of five jobs lost in the current U.S. recession belong to men—a consequence of the surge in layoffs within distressed, male-dominated industries, such as manufacturing and construction.

Compelling Reasons for Your Salespeopole to Go Mobile

No Time........Really??

I love to pay attention to the language I use and also the words my clients choose. Being aware of our own language provides a window into where we may have blind spots, fears or beliefs standing in our way. I often catch my clients using the phrase, “I just don’t have time.” It’s a sentence that suggests that we have no power over how we spend our time. And the truth is, we do. Certainly there can be negative consequences to choosing to spend our time in one way over another. And avoiding those negative consequences can drive our choices, but, at the end of the day, we are choosing!

Is your website offering a wet and limp handshake?

Don't make the mistake of creating a website that is purely designed to lead people through a preconceived process. Having a process is essential, but not before your customers have 'buy-in'.
