Hey, What if the Founder Gets Hit By a Bus? Nada
One of the questions investors in early-stage companies -- both private and public -- often ask is this: What if the founder gets hit by a bus? It is, of course, an investor's way of saying, "How much of this company's continuing success requires this man/women at the helm?"

What's Returns Have To Do With It?
On a subject I don't talk much about, I wanted to address a subject that does affect retailers, even with a good POS system. And that's about returns. We can't ignore statistics, and these are showing us some important trends in retail fraud. We're finding that fraudulent returns total $9.6 billion a year, according to figures from the National Retail Federation, and a Return Exchange's Retail Returns Study puts the figure at more than $17 billion annually. Returns that come through an automated system like your POS can take the burden of granting returns out of the store's hands. The merchandise tag can be scanned at point of sale and, when a customer c
Over Connecting
The distrust and confusion of receiving a random "connection/friend" request. This approach of sending several friend requests to strangers is awkward enough if done purely for social/personal reasons, but is particularly dangerous if done primarily for business networking reasons
A Time To Reflect
I don't know about you, but I often find myself reflecting on a whole range of things in my life including my professional sales career and wondering at all the things I have learned over the years. Conscious reflecting on sales has now become almost a daily occurrence for me, especially, since I have been writing this sales blog. There are so many aspects to selling that the more I look into selling the more I find to reflect upon. So it was with some amusement that I found myself reflecting on reflecting itself and how valuable it is to our continued development and overall healthy functioning in this ever-changing world.

Creating an Extraordinary Organization
If everyone would like to work in a thriving, enlivening and nurturing environment, why is it that almost no one loves being at work? Why is it that most of us simply acquiesce when confronted by the drudgery and suffering that, according to seemingly every statistical measure, characterizes life within many companies? Is this condition inevitable? Are we destined to an environment where the most we have to look forward to is Friday afternoon? Not at all. There are specific steps that can be taken to begin to reclaim some of the enthusiasm, some of the air of celebration and some of the fundamental respect for individual human dignity that is apparent within flourishing business organizations or on championship teams.

Secret Reserves
It has been defined as "any reserve which is not apparent on the face of the balance sheet". It is sometimes called "hidden reserve", or 'internal reserve' or 'inner reserve.' This reserve represents the surplus of assets over liabilities and capital. It does not appear in the ledger. The creation of secret reserves strengthens the financial position of the concern.
