Sales Training London Why Giving Your Customers Strokes is Profitable
Customers generally don't leave you because you mess up, they leave you because they feel stroke deprived. This short article explores how to give your customers strokes to develop and maintain lifetime relationships for profit. Your customers are at the top of your competitors' prospect lists.

Posting relevant comments on blogs is networking
I happen to think that many small business folks would find networking on the web as valuable as networking at, say, the next Chamber event. There are many ways to do networking on the web but I happen to think one of the easiest is to participate in blogs you enjoy by frequently posting relevant content. Blog comment posting is very much like standing around chatting with a group of folks at a networking event (except you don’t have to balance the Swedish meatball plate on your wine glass.)
Taxing eBay Part Deux
Several folks argued that just because their little eBay hobby generated a little cash, that didn’t make it a full blown business. It seems they consider the income from their little hobby to be financial manna from Heaven and thereby not taxable by earthly tax collectors. I’ve always been amused by folks who try to impress me with talk about their “little side business” but when the subject turns to taxes they suddenly refer to it as “my little hobby.”
Travel Insurance - for when you least expect it!
Discussion the need and advantage of Travel Insurance. I just heard about a $350,000 Euro claim for a business client who went to Greece, had 2 strokes which were related to Leukemia.

Birds are not the Only Tweeters
Taking the social networking scene by storm, Twitter is connecting people from all over the world with just a few key strokes. The term tweet has taken on a whole new meaning and micro-blogging is now a popular choice of communication for adults age 25-54.

You Can't Brown Nose Your Way to Success
As a recent USA Today article points out, relationship building with your boss can be a bit tricky. While you want to be positive and build a strong relationship, you don't want to come across as someone who is too aggressive in managing upward -- or what the article called "brown nosing." On the other hand, you can't be so afraid of being seen by your boss and coworkers as a brown noser that you never give your boss or other leaders in your company, any positive feedback. The best way to do this is to be authentic. Give your boss some strokes when he or she does something that you really appreciate, or think was a truly great idea. Don't give him or strokes just for the sake of making him or her like you better.
On The Road, Staying in Touch for Business, Pleasure
Sure the next couple of months are going to be hectic what with the holidays, Storage Visions, CES, the holidays. It's no wonder that the gift everyone expects to get in their stocking is portable. We just don't seem to have enough of being in touch with all of the bad news and folks we don't want to see. Already we see folks with a couple of smartphones, notebook, tablet, more tucked in their backpacks. The demand for devices and content just keeps growing. As long as it's portable though we'll just ride on!
WOM…It’s An Art, It’s Science, It’s Theirs
If you went to/read about SXSW (check Wikipedia) you saw that folks were doing everything for word of mouth (WOM) buzz. They'll do it all the time, every time. Big secret though? Those folks don't have one iota of control over WOM! Nope that belongs to the people we're feeding the messages to. You know "them." Problem is they can turn on you in a heartbeat and gawd it ain't pretty. When that happens it's damage control and you try to save the vital parts...that's when you call the PR folks to blame...not us, them! It can be "managed if you know how to prepare, what to do, when to do it...and you have blind faith!!!!

Artists, Music, Audiences Change Labels Find it Tough
eems like half the shows on TV are about rising musicians/singers. But ask the MPAA (music folks) and their industry is breathing its last chest rattling breath. Quit humming around the house. Stop listeing to music on your iPhone, iPod, car/home radio because you're only prolonging the inevitable. How dumb can folks think you are because player sales -- all types -- are up like gangbusters. Pandora and other services are rolling in money. Our problem Ensure the musicians get their fair share. The MPA? Labels? Sorry folks those days are gone...you're right!!!!

Cyberworld …Guess We’ll Have to Get Secure with Insecurity
Every time you turn around there's a new report about someone losing a bunch of folks personal data or hackers defacing your stuff or a new, better online bait-and-switch. Cybercriminals are making impressive gains. At least when you hear folks talk at the two leading security conferences in Las Vegas - DefCon and Black Hat. - you wonder if CyberInnocence will ever exist...again It used to be pale folks with bad hair and bad skin attending to learn the latest "tricks" of the trade. This year it looked like a corporate/governmental recruiting activity with the security folks saying what they were doing -- needed to do to protect organizational/individual information and the hackers/hacktivists "voicing" their concern over privacy invasion and freedom of the Internet.
