"The happiest people are those who are too busy to notice whether they are or not." William FeatherWho are the difficult or negative people in your life? Do you have to work, manage, or live with negativists, whiners and complainers? They are one of the most common difficult personalities in the workforce today. And managing workplace negativity is a skill in itself.Believe it or not, research shows negativists, also known as whiners and complainers, have a strong need to be liked. They think that by complaining about how much work they have to do, they'll gain empathy from others. Notice how these people often spend more time complaining than working? "Busy doing nothing" is how people describe the whiners and complainers in my leadership training workshops.It pays to be tactfully direct whether you're managing a whiner in the workplace, or just dealing with a difficult co-worker. For example, consider saying the following to a complainer co-worker, "Chris, I realize this is something you want to discuss, and at the same time I want to make sure I get back to work. It sounds like this situation with so-and-so really bothers you. If I were you, I'd take it up directly with that person. Besides, I
The U.S. market has seen an upsurge in the demand for imported vehicles in recent years. The main consumer of imported vehicles is the average American working class. Many people find that certain car models combine space, power and safety. Figures from the automobile market provide ample evidence of increased usage of imported vehicles. The registration of imported vehicles has shown an increase of nearly 57%, whereas that of domestic vehicles shows a growth of only about 9%. The growing trend can also be seen in the sales figures of different domestic cars in comparison with their imported equivalents. Toyota, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo have sold more cars than Ford, Buick, Cadillac and Lincoln respectively.Besides passenger cars, it the sports vehicles that make up a considerable portion of imported vehicles. Reasons for this may vary, from pure fancy to exacting technical specifications that give a reliable performance in the racing arena. Drag racing enthusiasts in the U.S. are the main consumers for cars that perform well on maximum speed in minimum time.Another popular segment of the import car market is the sports utility vehicles or SUVs. They combine power, safety and speed, and the tar
Keep the grass cut, not too short, but well groomed and frequently - you never know what day a prospective buyer will drive by. Include edging along all sidewalks, driveway, and other trim items. Use the weed eater around all areas where the weeds grow up. Use hedge clippers on every possible hedge and bush. In particular, trim down any and all hedges that block views from any windows or cut down on light coming in the windows. Use lots and lots of thick, fresh, mulch. Mulch is inexpensive but does wonders in dressing up a home. If your yard or acreage has been let go too long, start with a professional service the first time and then keep up the property yourself if you want. If you have to hire a lawn and garde
I have had a mobile phone contract with a major British mobile phone company that is also the largest mobile telecommunications network company in the world since the mid 199o’s. Although I could get an up grade mobile phone every year and just sign a contract for a further twelve months, I have actually only done this a few times. These phones get more and more complicated and as soon as you have got used to one and are happy with it, I don’t particularly want to familiarize myself with a later model.Last autumn I decided to change my phone on the upgrade system. As normal I went to the local store and as normal they want you in and out as quickly as possible because there is a queue behind you. I was given the contract to sign, (normal procedure) and left with the new phone.I noticed on the monthly account the words “3 months Free insurance ?6.49 – Credit 3 months free insurance”.This occurred again the next month and in January I saw that I had been charged ?6.95 insurance. I looked back on the previous months and saw I was charged ?7.41 in December. I phoned the accounts department and they told me that this had been included at the time of the “upgrade”. This was never actually pointed out

After our first half-hour telephone coaching session, when asked what he thought about our training, my client felt the learning process we had undertaken together earlier in the week, “was a bit too elementary.” As a Branch Manager with over 18 years of sale experience, a supervisor who must also produce sales over and above the five representatives reporting to him, when he purchased our training, he thought that he would receive and then drill-for-skill some new and yet undiscovered selling process that would magically change his ability to produce sales. What he actually found was a “deceptively simple” system with methods proven in the field to produce a consistent flow of new business. Later he wrote:“I was at first, skeptical about your program’s efficacy. However, it turned out to be deceptively simple.This program (telephone coaching) is set up with simple bite-sized lessons for sales people. Once using it, one discovers the complexity of the sales process and a need for a focused approach. Your weekly telephone coaching does that and re-inspires excitement for the sales process.I can't say enough about your practical suggestions and flexible approach to an individual's specific situatio
If you haven't heard or read about the outsourcing trend, argument, discussion, fervor, whatever your side of it may be - especially the digital bridges of gold-pressed latnum being built in India, China and other places outside our backyard; then you need to Google-it or Yahoo to your heart's satisfaction and move out from the cave of silence you've been in lately. What we are focusing on here is a simple case - 'Build IT and they shall come...'India is closing the digital divide in the unique way that is being championed in our neck of the woods - digital divide education. By educating their people in what major companies like IBM, Intel, SAP, Oracle, J.P. Morgan and a whole host of others, all global companies with technology based services and/or products who need tech-savvy employees to stay global and thereby attracting investments in tech centers and other knowledge warehouses to communities worldwide. It has begun changing the way global companies do business to the degree where thousands of jobs are going overseas - outsourcing to India as it is called.Teach you children and they shall come...Build IT and they shall come, sound familiar. The reason for digital divide education in our own backya
It’s actually very interesting to be with a celebrity endorser for a while at a public place and see if anyone recognizes them, comes up to them just to talk, ask if they are who they think they are, ask for an autograph, or tell them, “I remember when I used to watch you on TV”, etc. This simple little exercise, while never planned, gives us insight into the possible success of the celebrity endorser we are contemplating using and what type of value we might be adding to the company or product.One thing that we have found to be critical is to never ever try and bring a regional celebrity endorser into a market that is too far from that celebrity endorser roots. Don’t try and place a San Francisco person in a New York promotion unless that person is from New York or currently lives in New York. A point of interest here centers on a promotion that is now being done with a member of the Hall of Fame. In our opinion, this was a very famous and recognizable person. We thought wrong. Before they ran the promotion we suggested that they test (always test ideas) our concept by sending out one hundred emails to their target customer demographic. We were astounded at what came back. Only three of the people in t
Make the property and the home inviting and showcase it by using bright colored flowers; red and yellow flowers of the brightest colors are the best. Keep the flowers well maintained and the beds well kept. Buyers won’t likely see other homes in your price range with similar floral treatments and your home will rise to the top of the buyer’s list.
Repair, paint, and renew, all outdoor furniture, porch furniture and decorations and all decorative items on the property. This includes the mailbox, if there is one. In fact, a bed of
