The A to Z of Small Business Sales - Loyalty Part 2 - Loyalty Starts With People
You cannot buy loyalty. Loyalty is something that is earned every day and through relationships. The small business owner should ask "What can I Do to be loyal to customers and employees?". President Kennedy asked a similar type question forty years ago - "Ask not what your country can do for you ... ask what you can do for your country."
Smart Cents: How J.C. Penney Built An Empire
Penney once said that there were no secrets to his success, but that the principles of business were simple: “In retailing, the formula happens to be a basic liking for human beings, plus integrity, plus industry, plus the ability to see the other fellow’s point of view.” In 1920, the J.C. Penney Company had over 197 stores along the West coast. Just nine years later, that number had grown to more than 1,400 stores across the country; new stores had been opening at a rapid rate of almost one every three days. Today, the company has grown to be one of the nation’s largest retailers. By the time Penney died at the age of 95, sales for the company he had helped grow finally reached the $5 billion mark. How did he do it?
4.2 Diversification regimes in Africa: Economic Report on Africa 2007
Analysing the various diversification indices and the structure of the top ten export commodities for selected countries over the last two decades and a half provides some useful insights which can be used to define diversification regimes that characterize Africa. Five diversification regimes can be identified from Africa’s experience (see Ben Hammouda et al. 2006b). These regimes should not be viewed as steps or as a continuum that a country must follow as it moves from a concentrated to a diversified economy. Rather, the regimes are a result of the policy actions that a country has set in place over a given period of time. The particular regime that a country falls into is likely to be the result of a mix among the various diversification determinants.

The Nigerian Context - A Story of Decline: Exploring entrepreneurship in a declining economy
Nigeria is usually referred to as the giant of West Africa in that, with a population estimated at over 100 million, one in every two West Africans is a Nigerian.

Sales Mission Complete
I recently had the great honor and privilege of visiting our United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. I was overwhelmed by the courage and passion of those that occupy this post. They are truly remarkable people and I was struck by how much the disciplines they practice relate to selling. Yes, it might be a stretch to tie what happens at West Point to sales and selling, but not much of a stretch. This group of young people consistently demonstrates at an extraordinary level all of those competencies necessary to succeed in selling: courage, desire, commitment, persistence and ethics. They are sales people in fatigues. They spend their day selling others on the connection between athletics and winning on the battlefield. One of the metrics for success: bringing everyone back alive. That is life or death.

Business Must Constantly Look to, Plan for Tomorrow
Life would be simple well for everyone if all 6.8 billion plus people on the planet were part of one homogeneous market. Jeezz life would be so easy. Cripes anyone could create, produce, market, ship, sell their products, services, whatever. Well that ain't gonna happen. People in every country operate on a different need/buy clock. Within the country folks in the North, South, East, West are different. Then we have the sex, religious, age differences and man it is a wonder anyone can sell something to a decent size group of folks. Just when you think you've got it all figured out there's a market shift and you start all over again. There are huge shifts taking place today and tomorrow it will change again. It's what makes business, life interesting, challenging and fun.
