Is your business holiday friendly? Do you get busier during the holidays or are you slower due to the fact that people are not interested in purchasing your products and/or services at this time of year.
Holiday promotions can be a useful tool for any type of business. However, you will still want to be creative. For example, if you send your clients holiday cards around Christmas or other December holiday, your card will most likely be one of 25 (or more) cards that your client receives…

How are you pricing yourself? Is it you who assigns the dollar signs or do you let your fears of the economy or what you "think" people will pay determine what you decide to charge for your time?
Think about this for a minute....
And WHY have you priced yourself (or your products and services) the way you have? Or are you in a business (like a network marketing company) where you have NO IDEA what you're really making per hour? You just know you need to work HARDER to make more?…

Getzooks is a new social networking platform that came into fruition, mainly due to the interest so many people showed in the “My Music Ticket” fiasco.
Getzooks uses the basic web 2.0 concept of helping others and in turn helping yourself. In fact with what is going to be available with the software you could likely say that Getzooks is a for runner to where marketing Web 3.0 is going to take us.
Portions of the money generated by Getzooks will go towards helping people in the world less fortuna…

We all know that Network Marketing is not for everyone. And most people get into Network Marketing with dreams of Instant cash and quick returns. Don’t get me wrong, its very possible, and its happened for me when my wife and I first started in our business, but you NEED to be a special type of person. You need to be cut from a different cloth. Doing Network Marketing is like saying everyone likes Sales, Marketing, and Actually working when they really don’t. I read something yesterday that said…

Staples is bringing back The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, perhaps the most well-known and loved back-to-school television commercial ever created. I can’t believe that the commercial series first ran 15 years ago! As a parent, it is kind of exciting to send the kids back to school. But that’s not what is making the summer doldrums fun in the social media world. Today was

What is all this “twittering” about, what is Twitter, what are “tweeple”, what is a “tweet”, what is a “retweet”, what are “followers” and how do I get some, why would anyone want to know “what are you doing”, and why do I only get 140 characters to tell anyone? These are just a few of the questions by those just hearing about Twitter for the first time, or having heard so much about Twitter in the media recently, have decided to take a closer look at the phenomenon known as Twitter, that is exp…

There are many social media applications that have been around for a while and have been given much press of late, and have gained in popularity. Be it LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or some other media, these can be powerful tools for building a personal brand. When taken together, they begin to form a “composite” view of an individual for telling their unique story that becomes part of a personal brand.
Around April 25, Google enhanced its search results to include a personal picture o…

This was written by Inside CRM editors. They were likely just thinking of all the sites they use and what sites their readers read and put them together. Social Media doesn’t usually include advertising such as banners, text ads and the like. The one thing that is really missing is Blogging.
Certainly are some applications and tools that I have not heard of.

Let’s face it, regardless of the type of business you’re in, the current economy is definitely a challenge. However, it cannot last forever, so now is the time to consider all of the “little things” that will help your company excel when the economy reaches full recovery.
My personal commitment this year, is to travel with at least one territory manager per week. I don’t care who it is, or which territory they cover. The reason for my persistence is as follows:
I want to thank our customers…

Downline building has been around since the beginning of the internet. The offer is very exciting, let people know about your product or service, refer a few folks and presto, you are on your way to massive success. What's the problem with this scenario though?

1. Do tailor your message to fit the recipients you are targeting. Recycling a mailing piece originally intended for one segment, say men and try to portion it at woman will just not do it. It is better to not advertising at all then to get lazy and send out the wrong message
2. Don’t just talk about equality. Your company and brad will win more loyalty in the market if your company is known for supporting its employees. Human rights issues do make a difference.
3. Do remain s…
