    Printed Press Kits: A Contrarian View
    Much has been said about the demise of the printed press kit. Online and electronic versions - pundits say - are the way to go. No editors or reporters want to receive printed press kits when they could have electronic versions. Right?Au contraire, mon fr?re! Let me posit an alternate view. I've often found that when convention

    Public Speaking Training Tips For Better Business Presentations To Culturally Diverse Audiences
    Audiences around the world are all different. Cultural, social and religious differences impact on how people learn, take in information and interact with presenters.After delivering 3 presentations to 1,200 Managers and Franchisees from the largest fast food company in the Philippines, these are my thoughts on how to make
    For years I have heard the comment that ‘the customer is always right’. Baloney! There have been many times that I as a customer have operated under false assumptions, bad advice, unrealistic expectations, rumors and hearsay. I’ll bet if you think about it, that you too have not always been right as a customer.

    I am not suggesting you get into a tug of war with a customer about who is right or who is wrong. If you treat a customer as if they are wrong regardless of whether they are or not, you may win the argument but you can kiss any more business with them goodbye.

    So what is a salesperson to do when the customer is operating out of a set of beliefs, values or expectations that they feel they are right when in truth they are really wrong?

    1. You can argue with them and no matter who wins you will lose their business.
    2. You can get your ego in the way and end up being right, but what’s the point?
    3. You can point out where the customer is mis-informed but still treat them with respect and professionalism.
    4. You can cave in and let them be right even when they are not. (Over the long term this is not a wise approach.)
    5. You can turn the problem over to someone else to take the heat.
