Casual Articles - Freelance Writers: How to Turn a Client Meeting Into a Windfall of Work
Creating a logo to get you noticed.When you’re branding a company with a name, a colour scheme and a logo the logo is often not given enough care and attention. It should follow the chosen colour scheme and reflect the business that your company is in. Too often, particularly on the WWW logos are seen as a way to show off the design talents of the author. To create a free logo I have created this easy to follow step by step guide.PlanningYour logo should reflec
Usually, I’ll say something to the effect of, “My job is simply to highlight the pearls of wisdom most clients don’t even realize they’re dropping. Taking notes helps me to do this.”<
Staying fit and looking younger is a cherished dream which all, irrespective of age, sex or creed, want to realize. This vision has given birth to a new generation, christened “fitness freaks.” Typical characteristics include lack of time, faster lifestyles, endless attempts to be fit or rather slimmer (slim is the latest synonym to fit), crazy eating habits, and a new schedule every morning. Among the many cities most undoubtedly fitting these criteria is Manhattan. The unnerving
1. Fight the urge to speak: My mother used to say, “The creator gave you two ears and one mouth. Now why do you think that is?” (I’ve always loved to talk, talk, talk).
Obviously, her point was, talk less and listen more. So, after the initial pleasantries have taken place, let the client do the bulk of the talking. If you let a person talk long enough, you will invariably get a feel for what they want – even if they keep sprinkling their conversation with phrases like, “I’m not quite sure which direction I want to go in.”
Should you take notes? I always let clients know that I will be jotting down notes as they’re talking. I’ve found that some people get nervous/take offense/feel like you’re not listening if you are writing while they speak. So, I just kind of put it out there.

Similar to the human body, the corporate body has two types of dysfunctional tumours –
the benign or inactive ones, which are often dormant as well as the malignant or harmful
types which are very dangerous. Both types of dysfunctional cannot be left to their own
devices for they can cause damage to the company.The benign tumour group consists of the demotivated staff who are not contributing
productively to the company. Some are unable to find alternative employment

Whether you are graduating from college, returning to the work force, or contemplating a career change, career fairs have lots to offer a job seeker. Following a few basic guidelines can help you make the most of the experience and maximize some great networking opportunities.Dress as you would for a job interview. The interactions you have with prospective employers at a job fair are likely to be brief, and first impressions count. Put your best foot forward with proper att

If you are considering a car wash fundraiser for your nonprofit group then you know you need to get people to help to wash the cars. This also means that you need to have lots of people who are willing to volunteer a sunny Saturday and work like dogs to clean people's cars. Car wash fundraisers are not easy and as Americans get more obese some people are unable to perform at carwash fundraisers.It helps to have carwash fundraisers with nonprofit groups that have kids in th

Sometimes the finest solutions are the simplest. Focusing on relationships when making cold calls is one of them. It keeps us genuine, and eliminates our dread of making cold calls. We're real people talking about real things. We're interested in the conversation, and it shows.Most of us dislike putting on our "salesperson persona" when we make cold calls. We think it's needed, however, because we've been trained to make the sale. And yet we're interacting with a live, brea
Usually, I’ll say something to the effect of, “My job is simply to highlight the pearls of wisdom most clients don’t even realize they’re dropping. Taking notes helps me to do this.”
This does two things:
a) It puts the client at ease: After I tell them this, most realize that I’m not only doing my job, but I’m doing it diligently; and
b) It makes the client focus: I think this is an unconscious thing with most clients. When people realize that you’re really focusing on what they say, it makes them focus more.
2. Clarify: Remember, most human beings just want to be heard, and possibly understood. So, resist the urge to give a “presentation.” This is not the time.
After you’ve listened to the client, repeat what they’ve said to you, ask clarification questions where necessary.
To use an old shrink’s trick, something along the lines of, “Just to be sure I understood you, you said you wanted . . . Did I understand you correctly?”
A short synopsis of what they’ve said will do just fine. Let them know that you realize that the details need to be worked out, but you just want a cle
