How a Top Sales Manager Gets Their Salespeople to Sell More Stuff!
When do you do your best work? When you feel bad or when you feel good? The obvious answer is when you feel good. No one feels like doing much of anything when they feel bad. When people don't feel so good, they end up doing very little....not a good situation for you. So it begs the question: does the salesperson brimming with confidence sell more than the salesperson who lacks confidence? The answer may seem obvious, but why do so few average sales managers spend the majority of their time building their people's confidence up instead of ripping it down? It could be that many sales managers are former sales salespeople themselves and "seagull sales management" (swoop in, dump on the rep, then fly away), is all they know. In this case, unfortunately, ignorance begets more ignorance...

Communication Skills And Effective Writing Must Include Meticulous Self-Editing
No matter how clever and succinct you may be at business writing and effective communication in general, you risk blowing it if you don't edit yourself. By edit, I mean proofreading for grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc., as well as revising or rewriting. You can do the latter as you go, or you can let your words flow, then give it several careful reads before hitting the "send" button or printing it out and offering it to your client, customer, boss, vendor, coworkers, etc. Why? Because that's you doing the business communications in the email or report. As such, assuming you care about your image or reputation, your writing skills should appear both professional and natural. Or, to put it more tellingly in the words of the great novelist Toni Morrison: "The language must be careful and appear effortless. It must not sweat."

How Emotional Words Play a DeadSerious Role in Google Ads Blog Post Titles
A while ago I came across a Google Adwords tip that sounded too good to be true. The tip said that there are specific “power words” that will dramatically boost the results of any pay-per-click ad. What is a power word? A power word is a word that illicits a powerful emotional response from the browser. It is a word so irresistible that it makes a user far more likely to first notice and then click on the Google pay-per-click ad. We all know that words are powerful. After all, saying a few words of appreciation can do wonders to how people think and feel about you. At the same time, a few mean words can hurt far more than getting slapped in the face. But can a single word really double the click-through-rate of pay-per-click ads on Google?

Writers Master the Art of Brevity and Satisfy Readers
Time is precious, and readers need a reason to keep reading—it’s a fact of life these days when information is available almost instantaneously. Especially in the Internet, you must get to the point right away, as studies have shown that on average you've only got nine seconds to make an impression and hook a reader before he or she clicks away. Readers want to know why they should bother reading the documents you produce, and they don’t want to wade through dense, unclear prose, which is why writers can make their work more successful by learning the art of brevity.
