Think about it: How badly do you want to double your sales? What are you prepared to do? By your FRUIT you will be known.
Snag Some Low-hanging Keyword Fruit

In some of these situations, however, improving our website ranking will require more work than we realize or our expectations are unrealistic. One strategy for increasing the number of visitors to your website is to go after "low-hanging keyword fruit!" In this article, we will explore just what this fruit is and how your can grow it.
Will Gifts Get Prospects to Return Calls from your Salespeople?
A fruit basket arrived this morning. My first reaction was, "who would want to send me a fruit basket?" It turned out that a salesperson sent it, hoping to get me on the phone. He had already left two voice mail messages and stopped by on one other occasion. As I write about his attempts to reach me, a few thoughts are running through my mind:
Struggle If You Must During Career Transition, But Why Should You?
To advance forward is to advance to new perspectives by developing new competencies in both soft and hard skills. What is meant by soft and hard skills? I see the hard skills as those that are produced. They are measurable, quantifiable and can be observed outside of self. They have empirical evidence. For example, when a client of mine has a goal to make a career transition into another field of interest and she/he has succeeded, it is obvious to everyone who is familiar with him/her. It is measurable in that the client did break away from one profession and moved into another, which could be seen by others.

Soft Skills, Hard Numbers
Leaders know they need the "soft" skills but the book-keepers require "justification" for the results. However, in this "soft" economy with reduced staff, every conversation contributes to the "bottom line".
Be a Change Management Rocket Scientist
When you get down to it, change management is a pretty “soft science” – a combination of ideas from organizational psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology (and some other things ending in “ology” that I can’t remember). This, however, does not impress our friends in the “hard sciences” (engineers, chemists, physicists and other things not ending in “ology”). These guys become suspicious if you talk to them about things you can’t put in a test tube. “Show me the empirical evidence” they say when you talk to them about the soft-side of organizational change. “I want to see the data” or “give me the formula”. This is when a change manager turns into a rocket scientist and pulls out their secret scientific weapon the CHANGE EQUATION!

Home-based Business: Why You Should Make Bayberry Candles
Unlike many other waxes for candles, bayberry’s is limited for a certain period of time. Derived from the berry fruit of bayberry shrubs, the candles from such wax can only be made from autumn to spring, season when the fruit-bearing activity is at its peak. Some view this as a liability because its being limited means the price for the raw wax is expensive.
Soft Skills Training
It is often argued that the education of hard skills is becoming more prevalent in schools and, as such, graduates are coming out more skilled than ever. Hard skills relate to abilities that are testable, such as typing or mathematical skills. Unfortunately, soft skills are often neglected and today’s grads find themselves incredibly skilled but unable to practically implement what they’ve learned. Soft skills relate to teamwork and interpersonal skills.
Climb That Tree and Increase Your Sales
Most salespeople will tell you today that a lot of the business has gone away. The fruit that was once hanging so low in the tree is gone---picked away by the competition---caused to die away by the economy. In fact, it is these statements that trigger the VICTIM mentality and tend to shut down a good portion of the selling efforts. Listen to me: With very few exceptions, there is still plenty of opportunity (fruit) in the tree. Now is the time, however, that we need to learn (or re-learn) how to climb! Now is the time when the “weeding out” process begins. Now is the time when those who “cannot or will not” are replaced by those who can, will, and DO!
A 'SOFT YET FIRM' Message to Forcefully Impact a 'BAD ATTITUDE'
So Many Times we believe in applying Brute Force (in physical or verbal terms) to correct someone's bad manners, or worse, invasive or intrusive behavior. 'BAD ATTITUDE' is one such verbal weapon - a brutal shattering of the offender. Especially when it is the Young who are the 'culprits. But what if the real powerful 'change agent' in such cases is neither the Hard Line nor the overly 'Soft' line? I mean, a careful balancing of both the soft and the firm in a nuanced message? Try it! Miracles may occur....
