    Leadership vs. Management
    Management skills are a necessary subset of the skills of a leader. Some people claim to be leaders, but not managers. Usually they consider themselves a visionary. If you look up visionary in the dictionary you’ll find:visionary – noun. One whose ideas or projects are impractical.This is a very good definition of someone who wants to be a leader but doesn't want to participate in any management functions. Leadership is determining where you are going and management is determining how you are going to get there. Without management leadership is ineffective. Leaders who accomplish things without any management skills do so in spite of themselves. They would be much more effective as leader

    Recruiting Is Not a Dirty Word In Network Marketing
    The key to successful network marketing is recruiting new leaders.Sooner or later you will need to go beyond your family and friends to find prospects, and at this point you will either accept the requirement to call upon strangers, or quit the business. A few network marketers have been fortunate enough to create a self-building organization on the strength of acquaintances alone, but for the rest of us, drastic action becomes necessary about two days after we hop on the network marketing wagon.This drastic action takes the form of introducing ourselves to strangers on the street, running classified ads, and joining civic groups and clubs to enlarge your fields of acquaintances. So, what can you
    One of the most effective marketing tools ever invented is sitting on your desk right now. It’s your TELEPHONE! While many professionals waste time cold calling strangers, some marketing savvy pros are using phone in unique ways to quietly attract more new clients, increase customer loyalty, generate loads of referrals, boost sales and profits all while saving time and money. Would you like to know how?

    Telephone – like other tools – can be used in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, most people settle on mostly one phone-based marketing activity – cold calling.

    I know there are training programs out there teaching how to fall in love with cold calling. Perhaps you enjoy interrupting people, trying to speak as fast as you can so that you can squeeze in your entire sales pitch before they hang up on you. Frankly, I prefer to chew on nails for a week than to make one cold call. But hey – that’s just me. Besides, the best cold call is when a prospect calls you – but that’s a subject for another article.

    So here are my top three tips for using phone-marketing effectively.

    Top Tip #1 - Call existing clients or prospects.

    Remember the saying “don’t preach to the choir”? Well, it’s wrong! You should only preach to the choir!

    Travel the World - for Free!
    I have been very fortunate to travel to several countries of the world while on business - countries I may have never visited on a holiday. There are pros and cons to working/doing business in a foreign country vs. visiting as a tourist but I have found it to be very rewarding. I have made many friends, been invited into many colleagues' homes to meet their families, dined on local specialties, and seen all the local attractions (I've been to the Giza pyramids three times - see photo on the right) because business partners are always proud to show you their country. After all, don't we always take visitors to Alberta to the Rocky Mountains? Foreign business delegations traveling to Calgary always schedules tim

    Medical Billing - What's All The Hype About?
    We see so many ads for Medical Billing. Earn lots of money! Work from home! No experience needed! The ads say anyone can make lots of money doing medical billing, but is it really true?Medical insurance billing has become much more complicated in recent years. If a doctor is to be paid well for his services, the insurance billing is a very large part of his practice.There is a lot more to medical billing than just sending a claim in to an insurance company and sitting back to wait for the payment. Each company has its own rules and in order to get paid, we must know them and follow them. How do you learn these rules and where do you turn for medical billing information?Becaus

    Top Tip #2 - Have a specific reason to call.

    Make your message relevant to the person on the receiving end. If you are not sure what you have to offer that’s valuable to your clients and could be shared by phone, you should be looking for a job… But if you insist on running your own business here are a few tips:

    - Call to say thank you! Yep, that simple. I just spoke to an internet marketer who makes it a point to call all new online customers within one day. With a bit of clever technology he often makes a live, personal call to the new clients within minutes of them placing an order. Can you imagine how blown away his customers are?

    - Educate customers how to better use your product or service. If you help them get the most out of working with you, they will be more successful and more likely to recommend you to others.

    - Introduce them to a new resource you found helpful. By the way, could you see an opportunity for making this recommendation a strategic alliance?

    - Invite customers and prospects to a special event and tell them to bring a friend or business associate. It doesn’t even have to be your event. Are you planning on going to a workshop with a great speaker? Why not bring along a few clients and prospects?

    - Make current customers aware of exclusive offers available only to them. Hey, they pay your bills, why not put something special
