Hub You - Wall Street to Main Street: News, Views and Commentary: May 8, 2006
On a mailing list hosted by a professional association I'm a member of, one poster stirred up a controversy in a hurry by writing about a client who wasn't being cooperative.Some listmates suggested that it's the role of the solo pro to bend over backwards in any way possible in order to please her client.Others said no way to any overtures that had to do with giving the client what he wanted.I say find a happy medium.On the one hand:You must develop terms of service for your business, whether you write them down in an official form or simply keep a running tally of them in your head, and let clients know when they've crossed the line.And you should set up office hours and appointment times that meet your needs and not just your clients' -- you're allowed to have a life. (As a business owner, you have just as much a right as any other to set appointments to suit your schedule; when's the last time you got in immediately at the doctor's office unless it was an emergency?)If you haven't branded your business, you're probably thinking it's impossible to be allowed to be so choosy.But it's not impossible to be able to call the shots about your business life as long as you'r

Trading the Forex market has became very popular in the last few years. But how difficult is it to achieve success in the Forex trading arena? Or let me rephrase this question, how many traders achieve consistent profitable results trading the Forex market? Unfortunately very few, only 5% of traders achieve this goal. One of the main reasons of this is because Forex traders focus in the wrong information to make their trading decisions and totally forget about the most important factor: Price behavior.Most Forex trading systems are made off technical indicators (a moving average (MA) crossover, overbought/oversold conditions in an oscillator, etc.) But what are technical indicators? They are just a series of data points plotted in a chart; these points are derived from a mathematical formula applied to the price of any given currency pair. In other words, it is a chart of price plotted in a different way that helps us see other aspects of price.There is an important implication on this definition of technical indicators. The fact that the readings obtained from them are based on price action. Take for instance a long MA crossover signal, the price has gone up enough to make the short period MA crossover the long period MA generating a long sig

We need to make Wall Street to Main Street subscribers aware that one of the company’s that we featured on Wall Street to Main Street two weeks ago as part of our “Furious Five” may be restating their financials going back to 1999 amidst a stock option scandal. The company is Power Integrations Inc (NASDAQ: POWI) and it traded down on heavy volume on Friday but bounced back up into positive territory by the close. We liked it for their product line but the restating of earnings could foster legal issues for the company, so we are taking a step back from our outlook on the company for 2006 due to this recent occurrence and needed to make our readers/listeners aware of the situation. Other companies that are facing similar issues include Comverse Technology (NASDAQ: CMVT) and Vitesse Semiconductor (NASDAQ: VTSS).

Not all sales management jobs are glamorous. Often we think of used car sales people as schumks and this indeed is the public perception, yet we all drive cars and without these sales people selling new and used cars, well there may not be an entire US Automaker Industry here in America. Ziggy Ziglar use to say; Nothing Happens Until Someone Sells Something.If you think about it that is true, of course Zig does admit in his books and tapes on selling that he himself never was a top salesperson, rather he became a top sales motivator over the years and to his credit has sold lots of books and tapes. Perhaps you have a few already?What most people do not understand is that everything has to be sold. There are manure salespeople, Toilet sales people and even commercial trash service sales people. In fact these folks have some interesting slogans; Rather sell cows crap than be a cow; It maybe crap to you but it is our bread and butter; or Your Trash is Our Cash. Indeed, indeed.Managing a team of commercial trash service sales people is not easy as most businesses hate to pay more costs, but they also realize they need short intervals between trash pick-up or it becomes a total mess. They also realize that folks dump their own trash in these d

Most mailorder writers will also tell you to try to acquire exclusive rights to your product. And most writers will agree that a dealer has a better chance of succeeding in the mailorder business if he has created the product himself. All of this is certainly good advice. The trouble with it is that it does not go far enough. It does not tell you HOW to create a product that is exclusively your own. In what follows, I would like to show you a step-by-step method to create your own mailorder product.I would also say that first and foremost, the first step on the the road to mailorder success is not the “selection of the product.” That may sound like a very strange statement, but there are three things you must do if you want to be successful before you ever select a product to sell by mail.First, you must analyze yourself. You will only succeed in selling a product or line of mailorder products if you really enjoy selling them. If you can honestly be enthusiastic about them, and if they are products you, yourself, would honestly want to buy, then those are the products to promote.Second, you must select your market. Once you have analyzed yourself, you will want to sell to people who have interest similar to your own. Only then wi

“If you fail to prepare, you are preparing to fail”Everyone thinking of starting a business needs to be prepared to move beyond conventional approaches. One of the most crucial factors in your business success is your ATTITUDE. Developing a positive attitude is your key to be able to reach your goals.Your knowledge, your skills, your service or product quality, will not help you enough if you don’t have a positive attitude. Many people failed in their business and the major reason of their failures is due to inadequate attitude. This brings me to an old statement "Your Attitude determines your Altitude," pretty much says it all!Before jumping into online battle, there are several things you will want to consider. What does starting a home Business involve? What should you expect? And, are you suited to this lifestyle?

Forex is short for Foreign Exchange, where money from one country is exchanged for that of another or the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another.When one deals in forex trading the profit or loss, he incurs is the increased or decreased value of an investment caused solely by currency movements.
