If you work with compressed or hydraulic air systems, one area of particular concern revolves around the fact that, well, air is invisible, right? This means that without exact testing measures, you really are unable to determine if there is a leak in this critical system. Such injections of error into your plant’s operations could cost you millions of dollars each year. There are a number of devices that may be used to assist in air and gas flow measurement and control.Meters help determine if a leak is occurring. They can also measure compressor performance. That is a great benefit as your operators and maintenance staff will note m

Have you ever recruited someone who looked good at interview only to find out when they started that they “Were not up to it” or, “They just didn’t seem to fit in”. Most of us have made these mistakes (if you haven’t, then you are probably new to management). Why?• We often rely too much on the interview as the main selection process, or• We place too much emphasis on professional credentials at the expense of ability to do the job and best values fit, or• We recruit too often “in our own likeness”.What’s the best way of finding out whether someone can do the job? Try them out. Not all of us have the resources
The first steps to a successful fundraiser are to identify your group's needs and goals. If your group members know how the money will be spent and their benefits, this will motivate them, keep them focused and help with their sales pitch.
LEADERSHIP
One of the most important issues when conducting a fundraiser is making sure that you choose a strong leader. If you organization does not have someone with time, energy and the motivation to make your fundraiser successful, it will be doomed from the start.
ORGANIZATION
Lack of organization can cost your group money due to order duplication, oversights and general mistakes. Designate approximately 10-15 hours to each volunteer in order to avoid burnout.
ROLE PLAY
Role playing is important especially for children because they can be shy and may forget what to say. If they have practiced it out loud many times, they will be much more comfortable when the moment presents itself.

Here's a fascinating idea.. Having noticed that there always seemed to be many stray cats and dogs in his neighborhood, it occurred to a clever pet shop owner that he could use cheap animal collars and attach an advertising message to those potential 24 hour, walking "billboards". He also dressed them up with animal "shirts" that had his web site address printed all over them.After unleashing about 30 four legged "salesmen" into his unsuspecting neighborhood, he struck advertising gold when his local TV and radio stations noticed the unusual "phenomenon" of "uniformed" animals. This got him thousands of dollars worth of mass media ad

Have you ever heard of an ultramarathon? A standard marathon is just over 26 miles. An ultramarathon is usually on the order of 50 or 100 miles, though there are some that span one thousand! Imagine the endurance required to run such a race.Running a business requires the kind of devotion and stamina that ultramarathoners can only dream about. Like the 100-mile runner, the successful business leader must maintain focus, keeping an eye on the path...on the mileposts that mark progress...and on the long-range goal.Unlike an ultramarathoner, your long-distance business run ends only when you leave the business by choice or

Member - That's O.K. they make great gifts and Christmas is coming up (or Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentines Day, Easter, etc.). You could order one and give it to a friend or relative. That way you could still help us out and do something nice for someone else too. We sure could use your help.

Member - That's O.K. We take checks and we can even take one that is postdated for a couple of days. We sure could use your help.
3. Customer - I just gave to another group.
Member – Your donation is tax deductible. We sure could use your help.

CHOICE OF PRODUCT
Choosing the right product to sell for any fundraiser is an important factor to be considered. Avoid selling a product that you know is already being sold by another group in your area. If another group is selling cookie dough and candy bars, you may want to choose to sell lollipops and pizza cards or a brochure fundraiser such as I-mark gift items, Holiday Delights or Glowz candles.
