A professional quality brochure can attract interest to any business, organization, or cause. On the other hand, a poor quality brochure invites readers’ criticism or scorn.

I don’t happen to believe that there really are magic bullets or black magic boxes. My advice – quit looking. This stuff does take work, but you can certainly do it.
If you’re like most people I meet, then planning is something you know is important but doesn’t always happen. We are generally ‘doers’. We need to feel like we’re “doing” something to be productive – whether it’s going to networking events, sending out mailers, or making calls to try and set up meetings. And all that planning sure doesn’t feel like we’re “doing” anything. It’s time consuming when there is plenty of day-to-day work to be done. And truthfully, not everyone knows the best way to go about it.
But being unprepared in your business and life creates stress, problems, headaches, and sleepless nights. When you’re unplanned, life can be a real pain. You lose clients, create unhappy ones, and find it hard to attract new ones.

We see companies that are selling the wrong products with the wrong people to the wrong customers and with strategic marketing planning work could fundamental

With all the headlines about corruption in business and government, many believe that honesty is allusive. However, honesty can improve your customer service. This past week I realized the power of honesty specific to customer service. Let me share two real examples to illustrate this point.During a return from a meeting with a client, I stopped in a national restaurant chain where I have consistently experienced good food and fast service no matt

Are you considering a job working in Washington, DC for the United States of America government? As you know if you are a minority or perhaps a homosexual you may actually have a better chance of getting a job in Washington, DC.The problem is if you are not a minority or a homosexual you need to figure out a way to at least look as if you are.

But the results are often less than what you hope for, and that can be pretty draining. To make matters worse, the longer this goes on, the less you feel you can afford to take any time to slow down and plan. If you don’t get some business in the door soon, all the planning won’t matter for squat.
Don’t let your business or your efforts become reactive to current conditions. If you are failing to plan, then you are planning to fail. I’ve seen it all too often, where even good intentions fall victim to poor execution. Because we’re doers, it’s sometimes easy to short circuit or skip the planning all together.
You start drifting whichever direction the wind’s blowing because “that last idea didn’t work.” It seems rare to admit that it might be the lack of planning and preparation that caused the m
