The Importance Of Software OWNERSHIP
When discussing free vs. proprietary software or open vs. closed source there is a third option that is often not mentioned but which may be the only way ahead for our business in the long term. Instead of depending on a community of open source developers or proprietary software companies to provide our mission-critical information systems we may have to develop and maintain our own software if our business is to have the information system it really needs.
Why We MUST Reinvent The Wheel
"Don't waste time reinventing the wheel!" How many times have we heard this from software vendors trying to convince us their product is exactly what we need? Of course the wheels on offer come in many different shapes and sizes and we'll be lucky to find one that fits properly and performs well in our business for the next 5, 10 or 20 years. Unfortunately in the real world every business is unique and ours is no exception. This means we really have no option but to "reinvent the wheel" if we are to make the most of what computer technology has to offer in the long term.

Lesson #4: Keep Your Company in a Constant State of War
“Sports is natural, instinctive, competitive, and, in the end, rewarding,” says Knight. “All of us at Nike get to earn a living in that world – a world that is easy to believe in.” Much like the competitions in which Nike shoes increasingly found themselves being worn, so too did Knight take his company to the top with his instinctive sense of competition. By tapping into his entrepreneurial DNA and constantly maintaining a sense of combat against his competitors, Knight was able to succeed where few others had.

Whether a particular story elicits a negligible response or a huge response, you still need to work it.
Managing Stress
Simply put, stress occurs when a person is not able to cope with the demands placed upon them. It’s an instinctive reaction to ‘fight or flight’. These days we’re no longer fleeing from sabre-toothed tigers or hunting woolly mammoths but the physical response is the same when we’re put in a stressful situation. The hormones released and physical changes prepare our bodies to deal with the situation but those now tend to be traffic jams, deadlines, confrontation, relationships and life changes.
First Call --- Last Look
A former colleague of mind was fond of quoting what he considered "less competent" sales people who claim--- "My customers don't give last looks." His response; "Well, that just means someone else is getting it - Batman!" I really love that quote. Unfortunately it doesn't go far enough. The real question is what do you do when you get last look? Do you automatically match the low price? Unfortunately, that is the first response of most sales people. In fact, it is often the first response of many managers. The real test is how you maintain the business at a price that is profitable, acceptable and meets your margin objectives. Can you sell the customer at a higher price when he has a lower priced quote staring him in the face?

E-Mail Marketing Suppliers, can you do this?
Either through a customer or utilizing the services I have used most of the most popular E-mail providers. My list includes Constant Contact, Vertical Response, IContact, Get Response and decent knowledge of several drip marketing programs such as Infusion and Swiftpage. I have limited knowledge with other auto-responders but have dabbled with a few. My question to them is with all the data available why am I so limited in being able to manipulate it and segment it?

Outdoor Billboards - How to Overcome the Money Complaint from a Potential Landowner
Periodically, you will come across the landowner of a potential outdoor billboard location that throws up an unusual response: “it’s not enough money”. But not in the “I want more money” argument. That’s just a part of negotiation. Instead, the argument is “I don’t mess with anything that pays such little money, so get out of my office”. You can get this response even when the amount you offered is quite large, like $1,000 per month.
