Maybe most of the presentations you see have started with one of the templates found in PowerPoint®. Do you need to communicate bad news? Click on the template “Communicating Bad News.” Do you need to report progress or status? Click on the template “Reporting Progress or Status.” Do you need to create an employee orientation training program? Click on the template “Employee Orientation.” Do you
Is your networking group inclusive and interesting, or dull and demotivating? Would you be better off at Starbucks with a mixed bunch of entrepreneurs?We are all supposed to get 'out there' and 'network'. Cue collective groaning, and creative avoidance techniques to avoid the tension inducing prospect that is networking. I sympathise, really, even having run a really enjoyable networking group myself, I am not blind to the pitfalls.Even if you have managed to find the group that perfectly suits you, and more importantly, your business aims, it is likely that you sometimes suffer from post networking stress syndrome.

You must create an apples to oranges comparisonIf you're frustrated or tired of dealing with the commodity approach to your industry …You know…people calling up asking your rates or prices, unrealistic expectations of what they can get or what the cost should be, low balled by internet price shoppers…You need to pay close attention to this foundation.You see, if you create a unique enough buying experience and buying environment for your customers, they will find it very difficult to compare you to other options – like the guy down the street or the big money heavily branded national companies.When you focus o
