Garber on Business How to get the media exposure you think you deserve
| |
| The two questions I have been asked most often over my years as a member of the working media are: (1) "How does a person get into your line of work?" (translation: "How can I get a cushy, do-nothing, get-paid-tubs-of-money job like yours?") and (2) "How can you get a columnist to give you an ad?" (translation: "I don't know the difference between an ad and a write-up, but even though I'm completely ignorant about what your job as a writer entails, I still want you to spend the time to write all about my business, and promote it for me, for free."). |

Go Where the Money Is
| |
| Fifteen years ago Howard Shenson, editor of The Professional Consultant, spoke at the CAFP Conference in Vancouver. In a session on fee-based planning someone asked about planning on a charitable basis for some prospects, i.e. for those who are unable to pay the fee, but really need a financial plan. |

Six Characteristics of Leaders
| |
| A friend invited me to hear Rudolph Guiliani, the former mayor of New York City, speak at a local college. The list below captures what he spoke about. Guiliani told us that after September 11th he had to make many decisions very quickly. He would make 4 or 5 and then close his eyes and pray, "Please make this right." The first characteristic "Strong Beliefs" speaks to that as does my song title above.

Caution to the winds?

Search Engine Optimization for Google, Yahoo and Msn
| |
| In this article I will review the similarities and differences between the ranking algorithms of Google, Yahoo and Msn. Google and Yahoo are considerably reasonably close in terms of off-page factors weighting compared to Msn, which is more on the on-page side. Like Google, Yahoo and MSN will discount obviously identical and unnatural looking anchor link text. Since these algos are frequently updated, I will only concentrate on those factors that do not. Otherwise, mayor updates should take place for them to be replaced by other/better methods. |

How Am I Doing?
| |
| “How am I doing?” was a question former New York City mayor Ed Koch often asked his constituents. In an effort to make sure he was meeting their needs, he surveyed their opinions constantly. Not a bad idea since it not only gave him valuable feedback to consider but also showed everyone that he was open to getting their honest opinions so he can improve his performance. Do you do this with your customers? Chances are that you don’t, or perhaps you do it in a somewhat ineffective manner. |

Leadership Insight: Stump the Dummy
| |
| A game for the entire organization to play. And many do play it regularly.
Stump the Dummy goes something like this:
“How are you doing with that Smith file” says a senior level manager to a mid level manager.
Or the company president asks a unit executive “where are we at with the remodeling of the meeting rooms?”
Or the mayor asks a department head about the pothole on main street.
