In a May 2006 report, titled Work, Entrepreneurship & Opportunity In 21st Century America, the US Chamber of Commerce stated:

“Traditional employment remains strong in our economy… Yet participants in the entrepreneurial workforce have cast aside the traditional model of working for one employer, for one paycheck, and on a set schedule that never changes

Responding to new economic, technological, and social conditions, millions of workers and companies are instead making alternative arrangements and are seeking different opportunities. These arrangements assume a variety of forms including flex time, telecommuting, independent contracting, working as a temp or on an on-call basis, home-based businesses, and starting a small business full time.”

The report went on to list some fabulous statistics about our flourishing flock:

• Nearly 20 million Americans – one in six workers – work from home at least once a week. 70% of these are telecommuters, 30% are self-employed.

    Grrr! Why Aren't I Making SALES?!
    Selling online can be very difficult, more difficult than in the 3D world because you do not get any personal contact with your customer. People cannot just browse like they do in a store, they cannot offer feedback, and it is hard to build and maintain trust throughout the entire online sales process. What compounds this difficulty is the fact that most online marketers have absolutely no experience in the field of advertising and sales.Evaluate Your Sales Process There are many aspects that effect your sales process online

        Failure to Train Sales People Can Ruin Your Company
        If you set up a sales force in your company it behooves you to spend much time on teaching the sales men and women in your company the ins and outs and fundamentals of selling.Additionally they need to be acutely aware of all your company’s products and services, terms and conditions, delivery and customer service. But that is not all you must stay up on the competition’s offerings too and then break this down for your sales people and train them in all aspects of all of this.One thing our company was aware of was my passion for t

        It’s great to see an official report validating our existence. But for those of us living the life, it’s like preaching to the choir. Any Schmo can look around and see factors like rising health-care costs, the dissolution of pension plans, wanting to spend more time with family, and the way many employers change personnel like they change trousers – and the revolution seems obvious.
