Be Careful What You Wish For
| |
| Well, my friends, like the Terminator, politicians named Clinton, the ghosts from the movie Poltergeist, and that corn on the side of your big toe: I’m back. There are just some things that won’t go away. Sorry. |

How to Spend It: Making the Most of Aid
| |
| Africa can absorb and manage increased aid flows. That was the consensus expressed at the plenary session. In his introductory remarks, Graham Mackay, Chief Executive, SABMiller, United Kingdom; Co Chair of the Africa Economic Summit 2005, made clear his view that there is no realistic alternative to continuing aid, with a doubling of flows needed over the next three to five years. This, though, he warned, runs against the present current of declining flows. |

Lesson #4: Everything Happens in its Own Time
| |
| It did not matter where Kellogg went in his life or what he did, his brother, John Harvey, was eight years older than him and he never let him forget it. As young boys, J.H. would regularly beat on his younger brother, and use him as a foot warmer during many a cold winter night. While J.H. was the loud and flamboyant child, Kellogg was shy, and fell into the shadow of his older brother. He was encouraged to join his father’s broom business, while his brother went off to a prestigious medical school. |

Art in the Corporate Environment

| I want to take up
the subject of
presentations and hope to
pass on some of our hard
won and often challenged,
expertise in this area!
This is kicked off with the
help of Stuart Price whose
article in an old old
edition of the MacUser
subscribers newsletter,
‘MacUser 2’, took the
words right out of our
mouths back in 1997
when we first saw it.
Well done Mr Price,
all these years later
your article is still valid!
Perhaps that’s not such a
good thing, but we’ll take
it up now anyway!
So with the very kind
permission of the
wonderful MacUser
(leading Mac Magazine),
it’s equally wonderful
editor, Karen Harvey and
the no less wonderful
writer himself Stuart
Price, we are including
here the very same article. |

One Suprising Key to Selling Value
| |
| Gary Harvey, my guest on this week's episode of Meet the Sales Experts, has great advice for companies that are trying to avoid getting sucked into having the lowest price. His secret? Purchasing Agents have always told salespeople that they go with the lowest price. When he asks them why they do this, they always tell him the same thing. "Because it works on every other salesperson until we met you." |

Dig Your [Networking] Well Before You Are Thirsty
| |
| Your future career is only as good as the quality of your extended network. Too often, people start networking only after they need something. Dig your well before you’re thirsty as Harvey Mackay says. If you choose your network members wisely, they can nourish more than your current position and future career. This is Value Based Networking. |

Is a climate of perpetual discounting limiting choice and eroding our quality of life?
| |
| Gerry Harvey, (Harvey Norman) was recently bemoaning the culture of discounting in our retail sector. He was saying that retailers had lost the plot and didn’t know how to sell real value anymore. He said they had fallen foul of a culture of constant discounting as the only way to attract customers, which was tantamount to business disaster and a degradation of the retail sector. I happen to agree with Gerry in this instance.
He went further by saying that retailers were failing to find out what customers really wanted and what they really valued. He said retailers weren’t offering choice – a range of options of different value and therefore were not selling. |

How Your Procurement Practices Affect Your Sales and Brand
| |
| Ethical selling and procurement (purchasing) is now in the spotlight. Harvey Norman’s recent publicity surrounding their supposed sourcing and use of Australian native old growth forest timbers in their Chinese made furniture has drawn light on retail procurement practices.
Procurement is now fairly and squarely in the spotlight and choices surrounding sourcing and distribution activities can have a dramatic effect on a company’s brand, reputation and sales revenue. |

“Bully” and the MPAA PR Dilemma
| |
| “Bully” opened in a limited release on Friday, leaving theaters to decide whether they should let underage teens in or not. Harvey Weinstein chose to release the film without a rating after loudly and repeatedly objecting to a controversial decision by the Motion Picture Association of America to give the film an R, which means anyone 17 and under needs an adult with them to get in.
