Cut Out The Middle Man For Maximum Profits
We all know the secret to saving big money when buying something in the off-line world is buying it wholesale.

Aim Your Story at the National News Media
Begin at the bottom rung of the news media and work your way to the top. That’s the conventional wisdom most companies follow. PR specialists call this “building credibility.”
“We’ll begin with the trade publications and the small newspapers,” they say. “Once we build our credibility there, we can move up to the daily newspapers and to large-market television. And if we succeed there, maybe … just maybe … we can break in with the national media. This will take years of hard work, but we can get you there if you trust us and do as we say.”

Entrepreneurial Corporate Cultures
Ever wish your people would accept more personal responsibility in the workplace, and make decisions on their own without having to come to you for every answer? You’re not alone. Business owners and managers often tell me, “I just wish my people would be more independent. I wish they didn’t feel the need to gain my approval for every little detail before taking action.” I understand their frustration. This type of dependence on leadership impairs speed and agility within the organization, and usually the person who suffers the most is the customer. While the employee is busy trying to find out what they can or should do, the customer’s needs go unmet. And dissatisfied customers will hurt any organization.
