Prospecting for More Sales in a Bad Economy
A poor economy has too often become an excuse for poor performance of many businesses. While the current economic situation is a contributing factor, many of these businesses can perform much better. Most businesses in the U.S. are small and have sales that equal less than 1% market share. If your business has less than one percent of market share, it should be able to grow in any economy. One hidden area in which to find more sales is right under your own roof. According to “Baseline Selling” by Dave Kurlan, 60% of all sales people are not prospecting consistently, and 50% of all sales people won’t prospect. Combine those figures with the fact that 60% of all sales people suffer from the habit of making excuses, and I think we have uncovered one of the secrets to bringing more sales to your top line.

How To Promote Your Business For Free By Giving Downloadable Gifts
Economic hard times and recession are upon us.... I know that because the media tells me so. I have long said that, “What is real in your mind, is real in it's consequences.” and it is no truer than when you are faced with an overwhelming juggernaut of “Chicken Little” styled bad news. Am I saying that the media is wrong, “Of course not.” but what I am saying is that people who do not have a clue about the forces that drive the economy are now terrified—almost by osmosis—into not spending any extra money, which in turn only adds to the negative forces driving the poor economy further downward. So how does the aspiring entrepreneur thrive in a negative economy?

2.0 The economic context: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
Tanzania has a population of just over 37 million, a GDP of US$22 billion, and GDP per capita of US$610.6 An estimated 51 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line. Eighty per cent of the country’s poor population live in rural areas, depending on subsistence agriculture and unable to participate in broader markets. Poor roads, exorbitantly expensive utilities and prohibitive policies have compounded this problem, significantly impeding the growth of the economy.7 Agriculture, the mainstay of the economy, is almost 50 per cent of GDP, and small-scale peasant farmers, who make up 70 per cent of the population, carry out over 80 per cent of agricultural activities. About 30 per cent of the population over 15 years of age is illiterate (UDEC, 2002).
1.0 Introduction: Microfinance in Africa - Experience and Lessons from Selected African Countries
Small enterprises and most of the poor population in sub-Saharan Africa have very limited access to deposit and credit facilities and other financial services provided by formal financial institutions. For example, in Ghana and Tanzania, only about 5–6 percent of the population has access to the banking sector. This lack of access to financial services from the formal financial system is quite striking, when one considers that in many African countries the poor represent the largest share of the population and that the informal sector is an important part of the economy.
Microfinance - Where We Are Now: And Where We Are Headed
All of us who are involved in microfinance know that it is neither just nor economically tenable for financial systems in poor countries to serve only a tiny proportion of the population and exclude the vast majority. We are no longer alone in this. All over the developing world people are waking up to the fact that poor people need - and will pay for - a wealth of financial options, solutions and services, just like rich people. They are realizing that poor people represent a vast untapped market opportunity. And as a result we are witnessing poor people's finance becoming mainstream finance in most poor countries.

The redistribution of poverty
Governments and social movements the world over often call for the redistribution of wealth; that the people with money and assets should give some of these to the poor. They believe that it is merely the absence of cash that makes poor people poor. They are wrong.
1.14 Our common challenge: Working Out of Poverty
Poverty is not just a problem of the poor. It is a challenge for all defenders of social justice and all seekers of sustainable growth. The goal of a stable and prosperous world economy is only possible if the productivity and consumer power of all its citizens are realized. A successful drive to raise the consuming power of the majority of the world’s population, particularly those on the lowest incomes, is fundamental to the broadening and deepening of markets – the lifeline of enterprise and growth. Only when the poor become real consumers will the economy become truly global.
Grameen Bank - Alternative Microfinance Approaches
Grameen Bank operates on the premise that the poor remain poor not because they do not have the skills or do not work hard, but because the institutions created around them keep them poor.

Save Money Next Time You Promote or Hire That New Exec
According to Michael S. Melbinger, Partner at Winston & Strawn, LLP and a leading authority on executive compensation world-wide, mentoring and coaching for newly-promoted managers and/or newly-hired executives is gaining in importance, even in this economy. Why? One of the reasons is companies can no longer afford the costs incurred from poor management/executive performance. It costs too much to get them, let alone get them productive quickly. In this economy, every dollar counts.

Auto Sales Recover Due to Superior Value
Auto sales are recovering because of the superior value offered by manufacturers -- not because of the economy. What else explains why auto sales recovered in 2011 while so many other economic indicators remain poor?
