Maybe I really DO want to appear to be an order-taker...

Incorporation Separating Fact From Fiction
One of the most common questions I receive is should I Incorporate and will it mean I can deduct more on my tax return. The question comes up when I teach classes for small business owners and prospective new business owners. It also comes up at in email and phone calls I receive from clients and prospective clients on a regular basis. Many of those asking the question start with "I heard that if I incorporate I can deduct all my expenses and I will pay less in taxes". Although there are many reasons for Incorporating a business it's always important to do it for the right reasons and to understand the real costs, benefits and drawbacks. To do this it's important to start out by separating fact from fiction.

All Websites Are International
Tip O'Neill, the late Speaker of The House of Representatives is often quoted as saying "All politics is local," meaning a politician that helps a constituent with a problem is likely to win that vote based on the personal assistance provided, irrespective of that politician's stance on the larger, more weighty, geo-political issues. What then of business, is all business local or international?

Tips and Techniques for Finding the Right Ad Agency
Creative agencies, whether they specialize in graphic design, advertising or web, are just what you would want them to be – creative. And that includes snappy presentations that can wow you with lots of bells and whistles. But a creative presentation won’t necessarily get you the partner who is best for your project. Selecting the wrong creative partner is a waste of money and time that can turn an exciting project into an exercise in frustration. Sure, you want a firm with outstanding creative skills. But you need an agency that bases their top-notch creative work on a solid foundation of strategy, knowledge and understanding of where your organization is trying to go.

How to successfully market a small business
To successfully market a small business, you need to perform the following marketing...

Prospecting, Follow-up and Solving "Around" the Problem
Do you solve problems by “solving around the problem?” This is what I mean. Manager “Ken” is frustrated because his sales force isnʼt prospecting because they are relying on the companyʼs expensive advertising budget to drive the traffic. Even though personal prospecting is the least expensive form of advertising and has the highest success rate in closing customers. Because the sales force hasnʼt been trained or managed properly they are “rewarded” by manager “Ken” who increases his ad budget. Kenʼs defense is that he canʼt get his salesmen to prospect. A classic case of the tail wagging the dog.

Why Can't We All Just Get Along
I have spent the better part of this year consulting with the Real Estate industry and I have had my eyes opened to the inherent problems of an untrained, inexperienced, unsupervised sales force let loose in the marketplace. Agents are independent contractors and left on their own to generate sales, find prospects, and close deals. Some are resale agents, others sell in new home communities. Usually during difficult times people bond and look to each other for strength and empathy, more like a team. What I have found is quite the contrary.

The Hospitality Industry and Call Accounting
For the past 30 years, most hotel and resort chains have required some sort of call accounting system in their properties. They do this to recover phone costs, generate extra revenue, and plan for and manage telecom expenses.

The Staging Diva® shares why home staging is the ideal career to get into at any age.

A Culture of When Vs. A Culture of Now
One of the common threads I see with many business owners and executives is a desire to be constantly accessible to their clients and to people who call them. They feel if they are always available, it shows others that they put the customer first and are working hard. However, this creates a dilemma. If they are constantly available, how can the business leader truly get any work done?

Email is the New Phone
But, expectations and how email is used have changed. Many customers now expect you to hold whole conversations via email, sometimes with emails flying within minutes of each other, just as if they were instant messages or a phone call. With these changes email is now as important as face-to-face meetings and phone calls.

Shortcuts to the Decision Maker
Every seller knows it can take as many as nine phone calls and emails to finally get the attention of a busy business owner or executive. While this persistence can be aggravating for everyone involved, its work that must be done to make an honest introduction.

The Lack of Professional Courtesy Is the New Business Behavior
Are you a small business owner, sales professional, C-Level executive or front line worker? What are your top major complaints as you travel the roads to greater business be it locally or globally?

Free UP Their Future…And YOURS!
I was working with a client recently who asked "Can you help me find better people?" That's not something I've done in the past for clients even though it's a skill I could apply...so I said "yes". What I find fascinating - even today in 2011, is how many companies are still tolerating "terribly bad behavior" in their employees. There is absolutely no reason to do that - and especially now when there are so many good people out of work who are begging for the opportunity to tie their talent to your company. So what am I seeing... 1. Horrible phone skills. It's almost a laziness on the phone. When calling companies to check out their phone skills, the worst ones either act like I'm bothering them by placing the call, or have no incentive to find the answer to the question I ask. Did you know that often I will ask for their President's

Business Mums – How to successfully juggle being a Mum and an Entrepreneur?

But when it comes to taking on a small business as well, things get a little more challenging. As any business mum already knows it can be challenging trying to juggle the children and a business smoothly but it can be done and you don’t need to be ‘superwomen’.

So here are some great tips to help you successfully juggle both.

Don't Recreate it Find that Computer File Quickly
Can you find the files on your computer, or do you find it easier to just re-create the document? Whether you work at a Fortune 500 company, a small to medium-sized business, run a business out of your home, or run your household, vast amounts of electronic information are now part of the typical workspace.

Productivity: Rhythm vs. Perpetual Motion
Many people feel that in order to be truly efficient in their work day, they have to be constantly busy, constantly moving from one thing to another. These people make a constant effort to not waste a single moment in their day. The reality? Productivity is more about rhythm than perpetual motion. Just as top athletes and performers need to find a personal rhythm, so you, as a professional in your field, need to find the proper rhythm for how you use your day.

Are You On The Verge Of Quitting
I believe if you're an entrepreneur or in sales - you deserve a gold star! Why? Because we're people who don't get regular pay cheques like the rest of the madding crowd. We ONLY get paid when we SELL. (Now look in the mirror because I just pasted a BIG Star on your forehead!) And sometimes it feels like sales are slow, no one is calling you back, and you couldn't come up with a new idea if your life depended on it. (thank goodness that's not the case!)

Optimizing E-mail: Stay Productive, Not Busy
Does email boost or hinder your performance? It all depends on how you use it. Email offers us countless ways to save time and be more productive, but when we go on “email autopilot” – checking the inbox repeatedly, typing out messages that should be discussed, copying people who are only peripherally involved, and other bad habits we’ve picked up along the way – email can make us more busy than productive.

Can You Afford To Be Too Busy?
Wouldn't it be great that every time someone sends you an invoice for their services/products you pay for it immediately? The cash is always sitting in your bank account and no matter what bills you receive you can always pay on time. The theory is if you're good at 'budgetting', you should be able to handle your 'cashflow'. So that leads me to this week's story. I had an outstanding payment for a supplier which was overdue. The only reason I hadn't paid it was the fact that I had a couple of queries about the work that had been done. Knowing that the business owner was disorganized in the way he ran his business, I wanted to check that everything on that invoice was correct. It wouldn't have surprised me if he had overcharged for work already paid for.

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.
