Building Ally Relationships
In today's business environment where markets are becoming flat or shrinking, competition for these key accounts has intensified. Acquisitions, mergers, right-sizing, and other realities of the 90's are created even more obstacles. The hard truth is those long-standing relationships can't be taken for granted, even your best customers. You cannot afford to lose even one key account to maintain profitability in today's business environment. At the same time, you may be dealing with fewer resources. Cost-cutting or cost-containment have led to tighter sales budgets in many organizations. The result is often fewer salespeople and sales managers, fewer sales calls and increased pressure to make every sales opportunity count.

Winning New Clients: Move from One Industry to Another
At the moment, your most compelling story may be relevant to only one sector or application. You risk diluting the impact of your story by watering it down to a generic benefit like cost containment. Often an industry perceives its challenges as unique to their particular circumstances. You may see your relevance more broadly, but remember, relevance is in the eye of the beholder
The Changing Face of Executive Recruitment
In an ideal world, when there is a need to hire an executive or professional, you would select someone from your back ‘bench’ database of pre-qualified candidates.

Change on Purpose
More than ever before, our current economy demands of most companies the ability to achieve measurable results that are specific to profitability, growth, cost containment and operational effectiveness. Of course, none of this will be possible without leadership and organizational change. Without change your company becomes stagnant, uncompetitive and boring. A leader's major responsibility is to create change, instigate change and then manage change effectively. In spite of the fact that creating change is a key competency required to be an effective leader, most people resist change. This includes leaders themselves. However, effective leaders accept change as a positive force and they are able to convince those that follow them that change is nothing more than a road map to a new and better destination.

Employers Continue to Be Rightfully Cautious of Holiday Expenditures
Employees and employers agree upon cost containment and proper ROI strategies for holiday spending. Holiday strategies today find new expectations and new opportunity for organizational goal attainment.
Why Most Training Fails
Most organizations use their training investments about as strategically as they deploy their office supplies spending. And the impact on customer satisfaction, cost containment or quality improvement is just as useless. One of the biggest causes of wasted training dollars is ineffective methods. Too often, companies rely on lectures ("spray and pray"), inspirational speeches or videos, discussion groups and simulation exercises.

Is your house in order in tough economic times AND ready for the future?
Given the global economic changes, downturn and risks, now is the best time to conduct a business review so that your business is prepared for the challenging and unpredictable times ahead. In fact, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, LLP is advising that audits of organization systems, policies and procedures in a number of key areas is more critical now than ever before.
