    Management is More than Leadership
    Despite what some people might say management is more than leadership. It is possible to be a great manager and yet still be a bad leader and vice versa. I will explain this further later in this article but let us start with some definitions.A manager is someone who is responsible and accountable for results through making decisions and organising resources (human and non-human). Management is the theories that inform what a manager does and the practices that managers undertake.A leader, on the other hand, is defined by having a following. Through personal qualities, she or he elicits a group of followers to move in a specif
    nd probably incorrectly referred to as a pyramid) sales organization. In the ideal world, IF you can do this, you can create volume. But this could take years to accomplish, and still never guarantee any income or security because (1)The company behind it could go out of business, be taken over.. or any number of things, (2) The pay plan could change, or (3) The group suddenly dissolve,
    Double Standards for Yellow Page Advertising Companies
    When it comes to Yellow Page Advertising Companies there is a complete double standard. You see, yellow page advertising sales wraps will come into a company or a business and demand to talk to the owner and immediately engage them in conversation. If they do not respond or if they are with a customer and say one minutes, often the yellow page advertising salesperson will say I only have one time to come to your shop if you want to be in next year's yellow page book you need to talk with me now or set up an appointment.Now comes the kicker, my company operated in 450 cities, 110 markets and 23 states in the business of washing peop
    Let's face it: you are probably working for far less than you need to. And the sad thing is, you may not even be aware of it or the options you have! As of now, we're going to change that for you, and possibly share with you not only a thought but a vehicle that can change your financial life. We are going to show you how to get much more out of your sales time investment.

    This probably applies more to the part time, home based business person than the professional...but we have seen, met, and talked with professionals who really are under- valuing their return on time investment. I know.. we are using that "time investment" word alot all ready. But you MUST consider it just as you do a cash or money investment. In fact, it's even more important because once spent or invested, you can't ever get that particular moment or minute back. It's gone. You can always invest more money, but you only have so much irreplaceable time. Your sales time investment is one of the most precious ones you can ever make.

    As we look at business models, we find on one end, the model that proposes high volume but low profit per sale. Walmart has certainly shown this works, and many, many, many supermarkets work this same way. It will work if you have the ability to create large volumes of sales. The question is: Do you. If you are a individual sales rep or a small business, just how much of an opportunity do you have to create really large volumes. The appeal to the small business person is to do this by creating some type of a multi-level (also and probably incorrectly referred to as a pyramid) sales organization. In the ideal world, IF you can do this, you can create volume. But this could take years to accomplish, and still never guarantee any income or security because (1)The company behind it could go out of business, be taken over.. or any number of things, (2) The pay plan could change, or (3) The group suddenly dissolve, p

    Box Type Corporate Kits
    Corporations and limited liability companies use corporate kits to preserve a record of their corporate details, as part of the mandatory compliance with the corporate formalities set by the Federal government. The Federal government requires corporations and limited liability companies to maintain important corporate records including records of annual meetings of directors and shareholders, stock transactions and current shareholder information.A corporate kit usually comes in the form of a folder or binder that holds important papers needed for the routine maintenance and smooth running of the corporation's administration activiti

    Continuous Improvement: The Lean Six Sigma Left-Right Punch
    1. Why Lean Six Sigma?I guess before we talk of the “why” of Lean Six Sigma, we should briefly address the “what”.Lean operations consist as much as possible of only value added activities: “Lean” aims to eliminate all waste in the work place. The outcome is that your operations become high-speed and low-cost.“Six-sigma” focuses on achieving consistent product and service quality by eliminating sources of variation.“Lean Six-sigma” is the fusion of these approaches to achieve high speed, low cost and defect free operations, with products and services that delight the customer and guarantee profitability fo

    Medical Billing - Report Generator 101
    In our last installment of medical billing, we talked about the importance of being able to generate reports. In this article, we're going to give you a basic introductory course in using most DME report generator programs. There are some things that are basic to each even if the interface is a little different between them.One of the keys of the DME report generator is the link fields. In order to understand how these work, you first need to understand how the architecture of the DME system is put together.Each part of the DME medical billing system is made up of databases. There are databases for every piece of informati

    Getting Past Fear
    Have you gotten tons of career advice, solicited and unsolicited? You nod when you hear it and think, "Yeah, I know this stuff." So, what else is new?But what have you done with the advice? Fess up. Probably very little.Do any of these scenarios fit?* You're in a job you absolutely hate. It's ruining your health and your life. You stay because of the money or the fear that there's nothing better out there.* You're in a job where your boss ignores you, barks instructions and expects you to be a workaholic. But you stay because a new boss might be worse.* You're lazy. You figure that one of thes
    nd probably incorrectly referred to as a pyramid) sales organization. In the ideal world, IF you can do this, you can create volume. But this could take years to accomplish, and still never guarantee any income or security because (1)The company behind it could go out of business, be taken over.. or any number of things, (2) The pay plan could change, or (3) The group suddenly dissolve, particularly if or when a heavy hitter or group leader decides to switch to another business and takes his distributors or sales force with him. Did you make a good sales time investment if you chose this model?

    Of course you still have the ability to sell the product or service yourself, but (1) Can you do volume, and (2) Is the profit per personal sale worth your time?

    The second business model, at the other end of the spectrum, is one that provides a relatively high profit or earning per sale. Sometimes we think of real estate people and car sales people in this category, as well as sales people of specialized capital equipment. But that's not the majority of us.

    The downside here is that if we are thinking about selling a high ticket/high profit item, we have to ask (1) Is there a large market and prospect base? and if we are thinking in terms of an ability for a part time person--possibly a "stay at home mom", can this high ticket, high profit product or service be first mastered in terms of the technology, and second, is the customer prospect base readily accessible?

    In most cases, the answer to those two questions is "no, not available".

    But if it is or was, then here's a fact that can be virtually carved in stone:

    IT TAKES NO MORE TIME OR SKILLS TO SELL THE HIGH PROFIT PACKAGE THAN IT DOES TO SELL THE MASS PRODUCT WITH ONLY PENNIES OR DIMES IN PROFIT!

    Think about that! This is ALL relative to your sales time investment, and once more: It's the MOST IMPORTANT investment you have to make.
