Casual Articles - A Greeting Card a Day Keeps the Competition Away!
Changing jobs can be a stressful experience, filled with worry, doubt and overwhelming choices. Maybe you hate your current job and want out immediately, but you're afraid you won't have enough money to survive if you leave now. Maybe you want to make a change careers, but know the process will take a while or result in a temporary pay-drop.

Your network consists of family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and former employers. It also consists of your dentist, your barber or hair stylist, your accountant and your local grocery store manager. Networking is not only who you know, but who knows you. You may know a lot of people, but how well do they know you – especially in terms of your skills, talents, creativity and potential? How familiar are these people with your value proposition -- your unique gifts?It is your value proposition that differentiates you from the crowd; it is what stands out in the minds of those with whom you are networking. Your value proposition is the cornerstone for all self-introductory communication. It sets the tone. It’s how you make
By sending cards Joe was able to keep his name in front of his customers to the point where it entered their subconscious. In the minds of his customers Joe had become part of the family; in fact he sent them more cards then their real family did!. When they (or somebody they knew) needed a new car the first person they thought of was Joe!
Last year my wife and I each bought a new Jeep … a Grand Cherokee for myself and a Jeep Liberty for her. After the guy sold me my Grand Cherokee I never heard from him again. It was quite a different story with the person who sold us my wife’s Jeep Liberty. If you would ask me right now who sold me the Grand Cherokee I couldn’t tell you. If you asked me who sold us the Jeep Liberty well that’s easy … It’s Martha of course!
A few months after we bought the Liberty it was my birthday … I got a birthday card in the mail from Martha. The next month was my wife’s birthday and she got a card too! Martha sent us a nice holiday card as well. Last month was the one year anniversary of us buying the car ... would you believe she sent us an anniversary card? So here’s the million dollar question ... Who am I going to buy my next car from? Martha of course!
A friend of mine is an attorney and he built his business by sending birthday cards to the children of his clients. He would often get a call from the parents thanking him for the card and recommending a friend or family member who needed an attorney!

Question: ERPs seem like a good idea, so why is return on investment so low?Answer: Resistance often kills many of these new systems. Even though the promise of what an ERP can do is high, the planners often fail to look at how the users are likely to view this “improvement.” ERPs take away the old tried-and-true ways of working. Even though some of these cobbled together systems aren’t all that good, people understand them. When they are asked to give up what they know and what they can rely on, you often get resistance to using a new software system.ERPs also threaten the fragile balance of power and control. The old system allows departments and some individuals to control the type of information that gets out – and co

What does your brand stand for? More importantly, how would your customers answer that question since brands don’t create wealth customers do.Brand positioning starts with a frame of reference, which signals to consumers the goal they can expect to achieve. Customers have expectations that they attach to brands. Over time those expectations change and it’s up to the brand to change accordingly. The brand and the category it competes in are not static things.Consumer’s change and so must brands; brands must be in lockstep with consumers. Brands are just one instrument among many with which to build customer equity; brands serve as a magnet to attract new customers as well as an anchor to hold existing customers.T

EDM refers to wire electrical discharge machining. Wire electrical discharge machining or EDM is a metalworking process with the help of which a material is separated from a conductive work piece, by means of electrical erosion. The wire never comes in contact with the conductive work piece. The wire electrode leaves a path on the work piece, which is slightly larger than the wire. Most often a 0.010' wire is used which creates a 0.013' to 0.014' gap. The wire electrode once passed through the work piece cannot be reused.Wire electrical discharge machining is mainly used to cut intricate shapes and designs into hard metals, which are otherwise difficult to form, mold or manipulate. It is most useful in the electronics and aerospa
