Press One and Go Directly to Voice Mail Jail

For some people “voice mail” means the voice mail menu system—or “voice mail jail.” You know, when you dial the business number and a voice—not a person—answers and says, “Hello, you have reached XYZ Company. Please listen carefully to the following options.” At this point, you grit your teeth and prepare for an ordeal.

After listening to all the choices, you discover that none of them suits your needs. Several different can reactions occur. You might feel stupid that you can’t figure out what number to press. Or you might get annoyed that you have to go through the list again, wasting precious time and money.

Software Project Management Primer

Sooner or later, someone steps into your office and says, “You’re a project manager.” It’s that quick, it’s that unannounced. It’s as though it’s expected that, just by hearing those words, you’ll magically know what you’re supposed to do, how you’re supposed to do it, and when things are supposed to get done. If you’re very lucky, you’ll increase your salary. If you’re like most, you won’t.

Managing Slow Payers

When you’re running your own small business, especially if you’re a solo operator, you need four pairs of hands, eyes in the back of your head, and psychic abilities don’t hurt either.

Most of your clients will be wonderful, but some will be difficult. And unless you have a system in place to manage them, slow-paying clients fall into the difficult class. If you allow it, slow-paying clients can damage your cash flow.

My system for managing slow-payers is simple. So far it’s worked well, but I’m thinking of revising it, and following up more quickly.

Advertising with a Real Life Story

What is a real life story? It is just what it says, a story about the real life of an interesting person. Why can’t you be that real life interesting person in your advertising? When you read advertising online, much of it is the same old hype that every other online ad uses. But a real life story set your ad apart from the rest? YES!

To be effective, you must create an effective story. Your story is what will keep people reading. And then when you weave your product into the story, it makes a much more compelling ad copy.

Networking: Making the Most of Your Connections!

Frequently the greatest opportunities and resources available to us sit quietly waiting to be tapped, continuously present, and yet often unrecognizable. What is this greatest of all resources? It is simply our human connections; the people we see every day, the ones we see occasionally and those we meet by chance. Each represents one of the greatest resources known to man but are often overlooked. We are told instead to search for ways to make our businesses grow, bypassing the most important method, which is always right in front of us.
