Drunks, A Wall, Entrepreneurs and Jobs
That young firms account for most of the job creation in the U.S. – as written about my Kauffman colleagues Dane Stangler, Bob Litan, and others -- has quickly become one of those compelling facts that changes the way you apprehend the entrepreneurial world. Young firms assume their rightful priority of place, and the vexing conflation of young/growth firms with small firms is finally and rightly undone.
Recruiting Strong Salespeople - The Sales Candidate Pipeline
Recruiting Salespeople - again? Yes. I cannot write enough about this! But, as usual, I'll address recruiting from a slightly different perspective this time - the candidate pipeline. Not to be confused with the candidate pool which is simply a single component of the pipeline. Your sales pipeline should have four stages:

Why do clients and ad agencies have so many rows? And what can you do about it?
Your ad agencies’ creative people and you almost certainly have entirely different objectives. Why? What can you do?
The Magic of the Sales Force Evaluation
Companies that evaluate their sales forces benefit from the insights, predictions, and findings that come from the wealth of relevant information. In addition to the many surprises, including problems they weren't aware of, they learn of many opportunities too.

How By Being in the Bottle Is Keeping You From Reading The Label and Growing Your Sales
Being in the box is a common analogy. How about being inside the bottle? If your goal is to increase sales, what is more productive, reading the label from inside the bottle or outside the bottle?
Is the customer always right?
There is a power in being wrong, it demonstrates you're endowed with substance and character, certainly enough, to not indulge in the delusion of being perfect. Let's be honest, we all make mistakes, of course we do, some big and some small, but still all.

The Invisible Close Sales Nugget: Where to Start When Designing Irresistible Offers

ALTERNATIVE ENRICHMENT
Alternative financing may be the perfect solution for companies looking for additional means of securing adequate business funding. This form of financing may be used to carry a new venture through its early phases of development, restructure existing debts, or take the business to its next level. Conventional lenders such as banks and private lenders may shy away from riskier businesses and not focus on business credit. Furthermore, an established company may find itself needing additional capital, yet for various reasons is ineligible for a loan.

No Laughing Matter.. or is it?
A zillion more job cuts, no credit available, healthcare costs keep rising, and on and on and on. No laughing matter for sure… well, maybe. I contend that taking this economic downturn or any form of adversity 100% seriously won’t help you reverse your situation any faster, so you might as well laugh a little along the way. An upturned mouth is a must in a downturn economy. Hey, laughter is free and convenient – can’t beat that in today’s market! In that spirit, here are a few of my favorite one-lines from comedian Steven Wright:

Into the Mind of a Shoplifter

Avoid Becoming Victim of a Recession
There is a lot of discussion right now about whether there is going to be a recession. The scare-mongers are in full swing and stress levels are rising for the many business owners that are buying into the stories. If a recession does in fact happen, it doesn’t need to have any affect on your business – just as long as you choose to be proactive, take responsibility for your own business and take the appropriate actions. In fact, your business can still grow.

Super Bowl Ads Super Marketing or Super Waste of $
it was fun to watch the advertisements. I watched the ads not from a football fan or TV viewer’s perspective, but from a marketing perspective. My goal was to figure out if each ad was a super ad or a super waste of money.

The Only Object of Life
Margaret Fuller wrote: “Very early, I knew that the only object in life was to grow.” I love this quote and imagine this perspective had a profound impact on the quality of her life. If each of us shared Margaret’s outlook and truly lived from this perspective in all of its fullness, what would be different for us and those whom we touch? There are many possibilities.
A Matter of Perspective
Sometimes a new perspective can hit you on the head a la “I could’ve had a V-8!” For me, it happened recently when I had the good fortune of working with a intern from my children’s school. Her name is Jordan Denniston, and she is a high school junior. Although still young in years, Jordan is quite wise in spirit. As I reflected on the battling perspectives of the recent Presidential campaign and my own, more mundane challenges of perspective, Jordan’s thoughts below helped me relearn an important leadership lesson.

Differentiating Pricing Strategy From Selling Strategy
Let's differentiate between this very sound pricing strategy yet unsound selling strategy. From a pricing perspective, this strategy allows you to effectively position your company, brand, products and services wherever you need them to be, based on markets, competition, reputation, quality and business strategy. However, from a selling perspective, never provide your prospect with even two, let alone three options. It's difficult enough to close business in a timely manner today and you certainly don't want to be the cause of a decision making delay.

Move Into China By Emptoris A Bold Act Based On Solid Research, or A Reckless Gamble Based on Global Market Share Aspirations?
Chinese enterprise resource planning (ERP) vendors have been able to defend the challenge from global ERP leaders such as SAP and Oracle. This article seeks possible reasons for major international ERP vendors not being able to dominate the Chinese ERP market. Taking an ensemble view of technology, we conceptualize ERP systems as being embedded in complex social contexts, which heavily influence ERP implementation and use. Based on this conceptualization, we contend that a historical perspective and a social-cultural perspective can offer a rich understanding on ERP implementations in China.
How Openness Yields Results
As you know, I had the incredible honor of speaking at the National Speakers Association Convention this past week. My topic was creating a one-page strategic plan in just 20 minutes and on one sheet of paper. I speak on planning from a different perspective, that is, I talk about it from a right-brain or intuitive perspective, not the traditional “what I did last year plus 10%” route that many planning gurus take.
Outdoor Billboards - Valuable Assets For Businesses, Land Owners and Billboard Operators
Contrary to popular belief, one way of improving real estate property value is placing a billboard advertisement on-site when legally permitted to do so. From a business perspective, outdoor billboards are an excellent advertising medium during both good and poor economic times. From a real estate investor's perspective, billboards are an asset to property since current zoning laws in numerous cities across the United States limit or restrict construction of billboards.
