A Little more on applying Little's Law to Lean your Marketing!
Though this is not a major change in thinking, Throughput is the measure that drives Theory of Constraints. In your marketing process, this makes perfect sense, you should be measured in Sales Revenue, correct
Multiple dumbnesses
About twenty five years ago, Howard Gardner taught us his theory of multiple intelligences. He described the fact that there's not just one kind of intelligence, in fact there are at least seven (1 Bodily-kinesthetic, 2 Interpersonal, 3 Verbal-linguistic, 4 Logical-mathematical, 5 Intrapersonal, 6 Visual-spatial, 7 Musical, 8 Naturalistic). This makes perfect sense-people are good at different things.
Due Diligence - An Overview
The author, John Franczyk, presents a summary of the areas that should be reviewed during a due diligence review of a contracting counterpart.
Competing motivations creating confusion
How to incentivise and reward sales people has long been a contentious topic. Too many times I have seen businesses set up incentive programs that reward the wrong behaviours which can affect team morale, client relationships, sales, staff retention, and so on. For instance, I recently met the managing director of a medium sized software business who asked me why would his sales people keep selling one version of their product when they had been instructed to also sell in a newer more comprehensive version of the product.

3 Reasons Identity Management is a “MUST”… and strategies to make it affordable
Identity Management for companies with employees that have access to critical data is a MUST. Over the years I have had the privilege to work with many companies large and small, who have different business needs. In many cases I hear all the reasons, (and sometimes excuses) for not implementing a solution, policy or methodology. Sometimes these reasons even make perfect sense! In making any business decision, the choice to do, or not do anything is weighed by what I call the “risk vs. reward scale”. The article gives three basic reasons Identity Management is a MUST
Ten Common Internet Marketing Mistakes, Part 2
What makes you sit up and take notice of some Internet marketing ads while totally by-passing others? A well constructed ad can be worth its weight in gold, so this two-part series looks at some mistakes to avoid as you prepare advertising copy for your next Internet marketing campaign. Part 2 of 2.

Are you creating competing motivations in your sales force?
I recently met the managing director of a medium-sized software business, who asked me why would his sales people keep selling one version of their product when they had been instructed to also sell in a newer, more comprehensive version of the product. It turned out that his sales people earned more commission by selling in the older version than the newer version of his product. And the sales people made the bulk of their income from their commissions rather than from their salaries. There you have it. What makes perfect sense to the sales person does not always work for the organisation or the customer.
10.5 Biggest Mistake to Avoid in Business
Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders want to put your business on the fast track. Avoid these BIG mistakes to accelerate your business success.

IT'S ABOUT PROCESS NOT OUTCOMES OR WHAT FOOTBALL TAUGHT ME
Two of the greatest life lessons I ever learned believe it or not came early in my amateur football coaching career. They were to have a profound effect on my philosophy of life thereafter. So, if you can bear with me and allow my propensity to perhaps over-romanticize my 25 years as a football coach, I promise there is a lesson(s) here. You don't even have to like the sport!
Acquiring The Practice Of Outstanding Customer Satisfaction
If the old saying ‘The customer is always right’ remains true in today’s consumer-focused establishments, it makes perfect sense that outstanding customer satisfaction should lie at the heart of any organization.

Death by Marketing & The Emergence of Retro Service
If you want to succeed, simply do the opposite of what unsuccessful people do! I’ve always liked this maxim, as it makes perfect sense when you think about it. So to learn how to be successful in business we must first establish how to be unsuccessful. To experience a fast but painful business death, there are many roads one can explore. However one of the quickest and surest routes is to engage 'Traditional Marketing' and a Balance Sheet Business strategy.

Financing Your Franchise Business
So you’ve come to the conclusion that you’d rather buy into a franchise and get the benefit of a tried and true business model instead of figuring out everything yourself. Well, that makes perfect sense and you’re certainly not alone in this mode of thinking.
Business and Friendships: Keeping the Lines Divided
Can business and friendships happily co-exist? Certainly, if the lines are not crossed and respect is given from both sides. Much too often ill feelings can arise when friends attempt to do business with each other. One person crosses the line with their expectations of what they feel should be acceptable behavior because of their friendship with the business owner. I hear time and time again how this has happened to many business owners, especially women in business.
Why Crazy People Are Can Be So Convincing: Belief Sells, Confidence Motivates
Okay, so you're not insane. While that may be a disadvantage, it's one you can overcome.
Manage Your Daily Traffic
Concentration of power is the ability to focus upon and accomplish the most vital priorities. A priority is an activity to which we assign value. Vital priorities are high payoff and crucial. In business, vital priorities are essential for the existence, continuation, and well-being of the organization. In our personal life they are the priorities that align with our innermost values. How do we manage our "daily traffic"?
Search Engine Marketing - How To Find Targeted Keywords That Will Dramatically Increase Your Traffic
Targeted keywords are those words which will connect to your website through organic searches. These words are usually discovered with specific Internet tools such as overture (inventory.overture.com), where you can identify keywords that are related to your business. For example, if you sell laptops - 'laptop' keyword would be expensive and unaffordable for a small business. However, you could use ‘lightweight laptop', 'large screen laptop', and 'custom laptop' from the overture keywords tool.
What's YOUR Bottom Line?
"It is not how much you do, but how much love you put in the doing." Mother Teresa Business owners are trained to gauge the success of their business according to the health of their "bottom line" - that is - the last line on a profit and loss statement that tells you what remains (if anything) after all your costs of doing business. This makes perfect sense - if you don't show a profit, you don't stay in business.

Reprogramming Thoughts for Instant Success
Take a guess at the following question. How much time do you spend thinking about positive things versus negative things?

Small Business Tips – It's Never The Perfect Time
Many people wait for things to be “perfect” before they pursue their dreams and goals. They wait for the perfect conditions, the perfect attitude, and the perfect time of year. They really want to achieve their goals … but the time just isn’t right. In business they wait to take action on things they need to do to grow their business until they have their strategic plan in place, until staff turnover settles down, until they stop being so busy, until they get a few more clients. They really want to get around to taking the actions they need to do to grow their business … but the time just isn’t right.

Common Sense and Success
We are all born with five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. These senses help us navigate our way through the world. They bring us delight in small things. They also warn us when danger threatens. However, I believe that we all have a sixth, and underused sense, our common sense. Your common sense helps you make the right decision in ambiguous situations -- but only if you use it. When I tell people that I'm the Common Sense Guy, people often come back with Will Rogers' saying, "Common sense isn't all that common." I disagree. I think that we all have innate common sense. It's a natural gift, just like our five other senses. We don't always use it though. If you are willing to let your common sense guide you today, you can use it as a guide tomorrow, the next day, next week and next month.

“Nobody’s Perfect!”
How often have you heard the phrase “Nobody’s perfect”, or even said it to yourself?
