Ads that the company ran said:“We understand the importance of LISTENING.”I happened to be a consultant to the company at the peak of this campaign, and I knew it was committed to walking the walk, not just talking the talk. It mandated that employees take listening courses on company time, at company expense.For a short time, it appeared that the rest of corporate America was taking note, and following this lead.

This article will show you what is available and what you should avoid.

Remember, if you use your calendar wisely it will help you accomplish what you need to and help you to get things done efficiently and on time. To show you how your calendar can work for you, let’s set up a marketing campaign. First, you want to schedule deadlines for everything that needs to be done before you can even start the campaign. First set a deadline of September 4 to re-price all your current products. By the 12th of September contact the media you will be using for rate information along with their readership information, and what their ad copy requirements are. In our example the media would be newspapers and magazines. However, you can also do the same for television, billboard, etc. By the end of September (the 30th) make up your ad budget for the year.

So that would be November 1st.
