Software integration isn’t just a buzzword for online businesses, it’s an absolute must. Having your entire business automated is the ultimate goal in efficiency, and if you’re still wondering if it’s right for you let me offer a few reasons I believe every online business needs to explore their software options. Available integrated solutions vary greatly depending upon the size of your company and other business requirements, so I will not attempt to review what’s out there or offer software recommendations.Within any e-commerce business website there are points of conversion on the site, whether it be a contact form, email subscribe, quote request, or a web order. When a visitor turns into a client, lead, or subscriber, you need a way to gather the information submitted without having to perform redundant data entry into contact management, accounting, or project management applications.Redundant data entry is a costly business expense because data is processed through an inefficient method known as “rip and tear” whereby orders and/or leads are manually entered from email d

What I am about to tell you may seem very obvious - you may even say DUH!!! but the fact is, - many company’s forget the 3 R’s of good customer service- Respect your Customer, Take Responsibility for Your Actions and Products and give your Customers a Full REFUND when it just isn’t right. I promise you that if you follow these 3 simple rules you will never have to run after the same customer again!Respect the customer! Just about as plain as the nose on your face Right? Wrong!How many times have you been greeted in a less than courteous manner or worse yet- not at all!! Never lose the opportunity to make a great first impression- very rarely do you have a second chance to undo the damage done by that first encounter. No amount of advertising or even freebies, can make up for this faux pas. Remember it takes a customer 10 times of seeing your advertisement for it to become real to them. One customer has the power to tell 50 people how awful you are. That is a lot of damage control. That means that 50 people need to see your ad 10 times- that is 500 times each x 50 – are you reel
As a profession, it can either be the most exciting or a nightmarish experience. It can be the most rewarding or least rewarding journey.
To succeed, there are critical to success factors that should and must be learned, developed, and practiced. It must be executed by every member of the team anywhere, anytime, and in any situation.
1. Cause
The principle is, ‘Give them a worthwhile cause and they will be willing to die for it.
Every human needs a compelling purpose for living. The higher the purpose, the more they will devote their heart, mind, and soul to fulfill it.
What greater purpose is there in life than to know that we have one short life to live, and to therefore, make full use of it. What bigger cause can there be than to change the world for us and our future generations.

Price is what you pay - value is what you get. Warren Buffett, Chairman of Berkshire SecuritiesDeliver value that your customers recognize, appreciate and reward. If you want your customers to value what you offer - you must demonstrate that you value them.Value implies trust so start by building trust. Always under-promise and over-deliver. Be known for keeping your promise and then some. Be honest. Never promise what you cannot deliver.Don't confuse value with cost. A product's value is almost never equal to its cost. For example, your product might cost you $2 and you sell it for $10. The value to you is $10. The value to the customer will usually be more than the selling price. If it was only worth $10 to the customer then they have no motivation to buy. But if the value to them is greater than the selling price, they are motivated to trade their money for something of greater value. It may be worth $25 to the customer. Then they will gladly give up $10 of their money for the product. The more that value exceeds the cost of the purchase, the more the customer will w

Copyright 2006 Dr. Eileen Silva“Conference calls are too expensive.” “I don’t have the money to attend the conference.” “I can’t afford to advertise.” “I’m not making the money John (or whoever) is making, so I’m not able to do X, Y, Z.”I’ve heard a lot of these comments during my twenty plus years in the business. Interestingly, most of them have been second-hand reports from other distributors, not in-person comments from the speaker. There seems to be a poverty-consciousness in some circles that fosters poverty-thinking through language rather than reality.We are all guilty of it occasionally, and it actually gives us an easy way to prevent excessive spending on frivolous things. I have routinely said I couldn’t afford something that I simply did not want to spend the money on: a hotel suite, when a room would do, or another diamond necklace, when I already have several.My understanding of poverty-consciousness goes back to my days as a high school teacher almost thirty years ago. I coined a phrase then, based on observation: “You show me a kid with a $100-

Our arrival was just over twelve hours late. With a wind chill well into double digits below zero and the snow falling so heavily the windshield wipers could barely keep the windshield clear. The driver guided the limo under the heated portico in front of the resort. Learning my lesson many years ago, it is my practice to arrive no less than 24 hours in advance of a speaking engagement, and today that practice paid off handsomely. Although it was close to 1:00 am, there was still time to settle in and relax before my late morning presentation. That is, if my reservation had not been given away, as some hotels have a practice of doing.The doors opened automatically and an attentive young man graciously offered a warm welcome, took charge of my overnight bag, and led me to the reception desk while inquiring how my day had been thus far. As we approached the desk a clerk tendered a sincere welcome and stated, “You must be Mr. Wisner.” Since there was only one room available and one reservation that had not arrived, it was a pretty good guess that I belonged to it. The warmth of the bui

There are many reasons for getting fired from your job.Being fired is obviously a setback to your career but the specific reason for getting fired can make it worse depending on the severity of the situation especially when you are trying to get a new job and are asked why you left your last job.Worse still is if you’re not exactly sure why you were fired!How can you improve yourself (assuming the firing was your fault…more on that in a minute) and ensure it doesn’t happen again?Here are some typical reasons for getting fired. If you’ve been fired and aren’t sure why, check out this list and think about what may have happened. If you haven’t been fired, use this list to avoid this same fate.Sometimes getting fired is avoidable while other times it’s simply out of your hands.Common Reasons For Getting Fired 1. Poor performance and/or attendance. Sometimes people simply get into the wrong job and can’t perform as required and get fired as a result. It does happen. Poor attendance (ie. unexplained or unacceptable frequent absence) c
There are three great equalizers: education, technology, and enterpreneurship. Those who don’t know, can know. Those who don’t have, can have. Those who have a lower standard of living, can have a higher standard of living. We can change the world, one person at a time, one family at a time, one office at a time.
If you subscribe to this cause, they will learn how to live a passionate, meaningful, and fulfilling life.
Direct sales is not just a business. It is not just about making money. It is a revolution. It is a calling. It is a way for us to change the people around us, and make the world a better place to live, work, learn, and play. Let’s do it!!!
2. Culture
Many direct selling teams fail not because the business is unprofitable but because members have lost faith in the team. That’s why we must decide, right from the beginning, to set a high standard of ethics, morality, and honour.
The principle is, if people don’t know what you stand for, they will not follow you. If they don’t trust you, they will leave you. However if they respect you, they will become committe
