Franchise Sales are Predictable with a well defined Franchise Sales Process

Franchise sales are predictable with a well defined franchise sales process. Franchising companies should have a well defined franchise sales process in place but it is doubtful that many do. Franchisors typically rely on sales pipelines and sales funnels rather than examining the due diligence process of prospects and the interaction with the franchiser. This makes forecasting franchise resources difficult and sales results difficult to manage.

The 80-19-1 Rule

I expect that many of you are familiar with the Pareto principle (also known as the 80–20 rule.) If you aren’t, the simple definition is that for many phenomena 80% of the consequences come from 20% of the causes. Or – more practically – 80% of your company’s revenue comes from 20% of your customers, or 80% of your problems come from 20% of your customers, or 80% of your employee problems come from 20% of your employees. While it’s overused, it’s a good rule of thumb.

Adding Social Features to Your Web Site

ISO 9000? “ I inquired. “I sat through all that stuff in class,” was his response, “but I really didn’t understand it or pay attention”. He thought for a second and added, “but I know I can detect a hairline crack on a piece of metal from 100 yards!”

Companies and customers cannot effectively engage unless there is trust between them. And, to my point in this article, neither can companies and candidates.

DOES A LACK OF EQ IMPACT PROFESSIONAL GOALS?

Emotions limit our intellectual ability and sabotage our best interests! It is not a question of education & skill that will make the difference in professional achievement & success; it is a question of access. It is about our ability to access that part of the brain where this learning is stored in times of tension, ambiguity and change. Scientific research is clear, emotions come before thought.

Work at Home Moms and Their Bad Rap?

Beware, this is a tad controversial. And I'm sure many readers may not like what I am going to say.

Those who do not, have continued to give the term "Work at Home Mom" a bad rap.

Store representatives are online establishing dialogue with people, which makes people feel that their wants, concerns, and needs are being listened to. People are much more likely to shop at a store if they feel that the staff is genuinely interested in getting to know them.
