Hub You - An Unexploited Market: Striking Gold Without Searching for El Dorado
Creativity can be defined as problem identification and idea generation whilst innovation can be defined as idea selection, development and commercialisation. There are distinct processes that enhance problem identification and idea generation and, similarly, distinct processes that enhance idea selection, development and commercialisation. Whilst there is no sure fire route to commercial success, these processes improve the probability that good ideas will be generated and selected and that investment in developing and commercialising those ideas will not be wasted.A number of idea selection methods can be used. For a comprehensive evaluati
Master salespeople are always looking for a performance edge. One of the tools that they employ is measuring their performance ratios. The average salesperson works hard to avoid dealing with those measurements. In organizations that try to track performance, many salespeople are either afraid of the process or they actively try to fudge the numbers. Here is why they do that along with why it is so beneficial for individual salespeople to track properly.Done properly, measuring performance ratios provides an accurate snapshot of the actual progress that is being made by a sales team or an individual salesperson. Most sales c
Traditionally, companies have tried to capitalize on the Internet by establishing a Web page where consumers can research and buy products or services on-line. These Web sites are elaborate brochures touting the company's many qualities and competencies. A few companies, like Amazon.com, and retail giant L.L. Bean, have turned these online retail brochures into huge success stories. Many companies have tried to replicate this success, with uneven results, stumbling because of a few inherent problems with the Web page.
Web pages are static. They require a potential customer to find them, and once found, to bookmark the page and forget about it.
Some have managed to mitigate these problems with direct email offers. For instance, I periodically logged on to Amazon.com to look at the latest fiction releases. Some time last year, emails from Amazon began arriving in my inbox. These emails announced new releases of fiction, and in some c
Auction templates are simply a must for successful online auction selling. One day I spent approximately 45 minutes writing a listing for an item that would make me about $5 in profit! I suddenly realized the stupidity of what I was doing. Here I was scheming and plotting to become a net millionaire - and I could work at WalMart and make more money than this!It seems as though you are selling products on eBay, but really you're not. What you have to sell is:* Your time * Your knowledgeAnd you must maximize the use of your time, rather than spend it constantly writing listings. The best way to do this, of course, is with a

Relationship building and networking does not end with the contract being signed or a handshake. The key to success with current and future clients is following up. Here are three ways to stay in touch and be remembered long after the initial encounter is over:Send a handwritten note. The day after you meet a potential client, write him/her a not stating how much you enjoyed meeting him. Invite him to meet you for a breakfast or lunch so you can get to know each other better. When friendships form, business opportunities eventually develop. With your current clients, stay in touch with a note to say “hello,” “thanks for your recent business

Can we build the newest robotic warehouses for the Gillette, Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense to be ultra energy efficient? Can we turn off all the lights and save on the energy? Can we turn off all the peripherals and save that energy too? If there is a natural disaster and the power goes off can the warehouse run on minimal back-up energy and do so for weeks?As we saw with Hurricane Katrina and Rita the power went out, but delivery of goods to Wal-Mart went on. What if the warehouses where all the products were had their power out also, then what? Can we prevent such a potential eventuality?I propose that we use the rumble of

As a boy I was in Boy Scouts. And since then I’ve spent a good part of my life in the program – once in a professional capacity then later when my son joined our local pack, then troop. I still volunteer today. Like me, I’ll bet that you know a number of Eagle Scouts. Even if you don’t think so, I’m sure you do. They’re all over, and I think I’ve met more in fundraising than in the average profession. Eagle Scouts worked hard to get to the pinnacle of the Boy Scouting program. They did the badges, the leadership and a major project and were recognized for a great achievement. Excellent work, and if you know one, shake his hand.But what ab
The Motivation to Go Online
More than half of American adults are online. They use the Internet for two primary purposes, email and product research. Almost half of Americans now use email and more than one-third use the Internet to search for product and service information before making online purchases.
Not surprisingly, marketers have been quick to try to capitalize on this effective sales channel. Opt-In News, published by Keaton Communications, recently reported that 54.2 percent of advertisers used emails to promote their products at the end of 2001, making direct email marketing the most used retail channel on the Internet. Almost 60 percent of email marketing campaigns in 2001 were focused on retail.
