    Resigning - The Right Way
    You know it's time, you feel it, you've been lazy for so long, you dream about something else, you just have to leave. You made your calculations and you felt that it's the right time to do it, maybe you found a better job, maybe you didn't, but you can't stay anymore: staying is hurting you. Finally you decide to resign, but little did you know that your resignation day is the most important day in your current job. Granted, resignation is not usually an easy thing to do, but doing it properly will maintain a good view about you among your workmates and your bosses forever. In theory, resigning is very easy, you just have to submit that resignation paper, and you're free as a bird. However, if you were a good resource, your responsible will feel cheated, and will act a bit on the offensive side. He/she might also try to tempt you with more money and/or a higher positio

    Ever heard of something called "conversion rate". You may have but are you measuring it all the time, or are you just guessing what it might be?

    If you don't know what conversion rate means you're missing out on the most powerful strategy there is in the world to increase sales, without spending a cent. Plus, by increasing your conversion rate your net profits always go up!

    So what is conversion rate?

    Conversion rate is the difference between how many call, walk in or contact your business and then how many of them end up buying. For example, if you had 10 phone calls to your business and you took their name and phone over time you simply track how many of them actually spent money with you. So if you have 3 people buy from you your conversion rate would be 30% or 3 out of 10.

    This simple measurement is life changing for business owners when they see the power of it. If you don't know your conversion rate and "guess" it’s about 50% I guarantee you're wrong! Almost everyone thinks their conversion rate it higher than it actually is. The reason being is that the people you talk to that say they'll come back and buy later or that sound like they are very interested in buying often don't.

    IT Audit Jobs - Could You Be An IT Auditor?
    When talking about IT auditor jobs let’s not get confused about the word ‘audit’, which is generally used when talking about delving into the finances of a company. An IT audit is not wholly dissimilar, nor is it similar to a financial audit, although the IT audit may take place in conjunction with other audits for the company in order to get an overall internal operations look at the business.An IT audit job would usually focus on finding the risks that are pertinent to the information assets in a company and in appraising the controls of the information to reduce the risks that are associated. Generally, the IT auditor will look at either a ‘general control review’ or an ‘application control review’. The audit process will evaluate the information system for availability, integrity and confidentiality.Typically, there are five types of IT audits to be don

    Balloons Decorating Ideas
    With balloons and party accessories a festive atmosphere quickly develops in to an amazing party. We have given some good balloons decorating ideas below and with this you can use more of your imagination to add more flair to the party room by using the unique design and architectural features of your home.First and foremost hang balloons to your mailbox to spot the party place; place them as a decoration at the door; or you may even tie them to the birthday child's chair to mark the seat of honor. For an additional unique touch, make a balloon arch by filling balloons with helium, attach them (several inches apart) to a long piece of curling ribbon and fix the ends to the floor next to the doorway.Hanging balloons in bunches is one of the best idea to create best effect. If you have a plan to fill balloons with helium, wait until the party day so that it f

    When you measure your conversion rate be prepared for a shock. I've worked with retailers who thought it was 75% and found it was 38%. I've worked with service businesses that thought it was 50% and we found it to be 13%.

    They get a bit depressed when they realise its only 13%, but I get excited! That's because it’s impossible to double 50% conversion rate, but with 13% you can triple it and still have room for improvement!

    Did you know that increasing your conversion rate proportionally increases turnover and net profit? That means if you increase your conversion rate by 50% (e.g. from 24% to 36%) you have just increased your turnover by 50% as well! That's because you get 50% more paying customers than you have right now. And you can increase your conversion rate, turnover and profit without spending a cent on advertising or promotion.

    So how do you measure it? First of all you need 2 to 3 bits of information on every person who contacts your business. Things like their name, phone number and what their inquiry was about.
