How to Get Along with Your Boss
My corporate career, excluding my VA experience, spans some 25 plus years. I've had government office bosses, travel industry bosses, airline bosses, coachline bosses, hotel bosses, engineering bosses, manufacturing bosses, sales and marketing bosses, human resources bosses, small office bosses, large state and country wide business bosses, editing bosses, medical bosses, magazine bosses and probably some others I can't remember. I've experienced a wide range of personalities wearing the Boss hat, and I've come to this conclusion: If your Boss hates you, you're in trouble. If your Boss doesn't understand you, you won't fare much better. Doesn't matter that yo

Send out press releases to your local paper - these are free and many times the paper may phone for a follow up interview. Have press kits ready when you're asked for them. Remember a press release needs to sound like a news story, NOT an advertisement for your business. If you’re not familiar with how to write one there are lots of articles online to help you.

Incorporation: An IPO
For a growing incorporation with increasing profitability and productivity, an Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the next logical step to take in order to obtain further financing. Once the corporation has fulfilled the requirements set by the authorities, going for listing is a fairly straightforward exercise.A corporation that wants to go public has to fulfill the Stock Exchange's listing requirements and the Securities Commission's policies and guidelines. It must also comply with legal and accounting requirements as well as equity conditions imposed by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.As part of the listing process, the corporat

One of the most important things to do now that you’ve started a business is to TELL THE WORLD! But HOW? It can be very expensive and time consuming if not done properly. Here's some inexpensive publicity and marketing ideas to help you get recognition for your new venture.

You've picked a great name for your company, made a list of your potential clients, incorporated your business and you're ready to go. What next? Well, you need to find as many ways as possible to tell people you're in business, and why they should do business with you!

One of the first things to do is to get business cards printed up and carry them wherever you go. Hand them out to everyone you know. It always amazes me how many people forget to give their cards to friends and family. Even if you “think” your family knows what you do – you might be surprised to find out how little they really do know. Besides, they may have a friend who needs exactly what you offer, and it’s much more professional for them to offer a business card than a scrap of paper with your name and number scrawled on it.

Make sure your cards are professionally printed and have no spelling mistakes. This may be the first impression someone has of your business - make it a great impression - because you won't get a second chance to do it better. Make sure your cards have as many to contact you as possible: snail mail, fax, phone, email, pager, etc. Give people as many options as you can. Make sure your card also clearly states what you do – if you just have your name and phone number on your card it’s likely to be tossed in the garbage. I make sure I give away AT LEAST 5 business cards a day. People ask, “Who can you possibly give 5 business cards to?” How about: leaving one on the tray when I leave my payment and tip for the waitress in a restaurant, giving it to the receptionist when I sign in at the dentist/doctor/vet, go to meet with my child’s teacher at school, chat with another parent at the swimming pool watching our kids swimming, someone I meet in the checkout line at the grocery store, etc, etc. If you want to grow you business quickly this is one way to start!

Scary Subliminal Advertising And Why It Works
According to an April 2006 issue of the New Scientist, research has proven that subliminal advertising messages work… and that if conditions are right, subliminal advertising to promote a brand can be made to work.Previous experiments claiming this were debunked. But in a recent experiment, scientists found that eighty per cent of volunteers who had been exposed to the subliminal advertising message chose that product, compared to only 20 per cent of the controls. Those are scary stats indeed.The term “subliminal message” was popularized in 1917 (World War I), when the US army would sneak messages into songs and put subliminal messages in posters tr

Gambling Merchant Accounts – 10 Points to Ponder
Choosing a gambling merchant account, much like choosing any other merchant account or online payment gateway, requires a good deal of thought and consideration, as the main purpose of an Internet payment gateway is to ensure the safe and secure transaction of funds between an online service provider and a client.There are a multitude of merchant accounts to be found on the Internet today, with some of them choosing to handle transactions for specific online businesses, while others choose to handle all forms of online businesses that require a payment gateway.

What To Do If Somebody Doesn't Want To Look At Your Business Opportunity
I was at a networking site talking to MLMer's about their problems and concerns. One concern keeps on popping up and that is why people are so stupid to not want to make more money.What most MLMer's don't realize is that the uninterested prospect isn't really stupid, and it's not really the prospect's fault. But it is the fault of the MLMer not to move on and find the more qualified prospects. Here's how the conversation went.MLMer: I just ask a person to listen to a phone presentation to give them info to what I really do. Then they complain that they're broke or either have a health problem. Now, if I told you I had something that could help yo

Corporate Awards 101
One universal and noteworthy characteristic of human beings is to seek accolades for their accomplishments. From childhood to maturity we are captivated by the lust for recognition in some form or the other especially for remarkable work (if any) done by us. Bearing this essential human feature in mind, Homo sapiens have invented diverse ways to compliment a person’s achievements.Speech is a viable means to honor a person in our day-to-day life. But apart usual living in areas like corporate sector, words are not enough to regard an employee’s outstanding contribution; there ought to be something more to proclaim his attainment. For this, the corporate wor

First impressions are so important – did you know that you only have 15 seconds to capture someone's attention when they see your advertising in a newspaper or magazine? Yes, 15 short seconds - not long to make a good impression is it? But you know what? It takes even less than that to make a bad impression.

So, how to make the most of your 15 seconds in the spotlight - and win customers at the same time? Make sure that any print ads REALLY do a terrific job for you – get feedback from people you trust. Just because you think something looks good, doesn’t mean it will sell your product. Test the ad in the paper one week, make a change to it and put it in the paper the next week (on the same day of the week) and see which ad gets the most response for you. Always test your ads this way. You’re wasting money if you don’t.

Create advertising that has the following traits - well designed (get help if you need it), is truthful (don't stretch the truth either) and tells the customer the benefits to them if they buy and lastly requests an action - something like - "call now to order", "order today, supply limited".

First impressions count when meeting in person even more! Every person in business should have a 15 second “script” explaining what you do ready to tell a prospective client at anytime. I know some people say that it sounds too rehearsed to be “ready” – I say it sounds like you’re prepared to do business. I’d rather do business with someone who is prepared, than someone who is still fumbling around trying to figure out what they’re supposed to be doing. An example of a 15 second script might be: “Hi my name is Sally Jones and I am a communications specialist who helps ensure your technology hardware all speaks the same language, so that when your computer tells the printer to print it will!” If you met Sally Jones, heard her introduction and got her card, you would likely remember her because she explained what she did very clearly, but also in a unique way. Not many computer technicians would explain their jobs this way. Find a unique way to explain what you do.
