All things considered, word of mouth is still the most important means of marketing any product or service. Word of mouth is created by getting your product or service in the hands of people who will appreciate it and will talk to friends and associates about it.The best way to get people talking is to give your product or service to key individuals — talk-show hosts, columnists, celebrities, and chat-line addicts — who are going to mention it to many people, who will mention it

1. Making a Commitment in Preventing Workplace Violence...
As we approach the beginning of our traditional holiday periods, I wanted to continue keeping the emphasis on the relevant topics of Workplace Violence Prevention and Workplace Security Awareness. Workplace Violence continues to remain on the top three lists of concerns for executives, security directors and those responsible for its prevention.
In the Business & Legal Report, September 21, 2005 edition, Paul Viollis, President of Risk Control Strategies made a presentation at the National Safety Council's Congress & Expo on the topic of Workplace Violence. He said, "With all the available data on workplace violence, no employer can claim credibly that it had no idea of the risk of workplace violence, including domestic violence." He further said, "Employers and safety managers must mitigate the risk of workplace violence by maintaining a "standard of care," which includes having a comprehensive policy on workplace violence, training employees on what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior at work and adhering to best practices of security and access control."
Because of these concerns, I got all or most of my gray hair worrying about Mr. Viollis' very points as applied to the little to no attention the small to midsize business community seems to receive until something happens. Why wait for the aftermath when ample time exist now to prepare properly by taking proactive measures?
2. Why the Concern...?
From a business perspective, Workplace Violence is debilitating at minimum and disastrous at worst. Once the contributory factors are identified, one needs to look at how the behavior adversely affects the businesses bottom line. Therefore, a disruptive act of violence can literally put a business out of business.
The metrics to consider in arriving at the conclusions are based on lower productivity, reduced profitability, poor morale, reduced performance, increased absenteeism, higher sick leave costs and faster personnel turnover, increased employee grievances, investigative resources and time spent and an increase in compensation claims. Of critical concern is the affect of business interruption and continuity related to the crime scene and business disruption. What happens to the operation and those employees involved? What about the possibility of a civil court award for failing to provide a safe workplace or the serious injury of an employee at the workplace or while working?

Possessing a visible Internet presence and professional networking skills can be a big help in executing a complex sales process.Everything that is sold has a greater or lesser impact on a client's business. A client might need paperclips, but they aren't going out of business if they make the wrong decision in buying a couple of hundred cases. The same amount of money spent on a unified messaging system, or a web server, could potentially be devastating if the wrong buying decis

At the end of the week the young man cleaned out his desk and packed up his things to leave.The big boss asked, ‘And just what do you think you are doing now?’‘I’m leaving,’ said the young man. ‘I made such an expensive mistake, surely you don’t want me to come back here again next week.’‘Are you kidding?’ exclaimed the Big Boss. ‘I just spent a small fortune educating you.

My day-trading journey began after I purchased a stock trading course. I followed the course outline and traded stocks in hopes of cashing in on the roaring 90’s. When the stock market corrected in 2000, I couldn't pay the continuous marginals and consequently lost all my money, approx $200K!About 5 years later, I was ready to jump back in the game. This time trading Foreign currencies, the biggest trading market in the world. I purchased the 4XMade Easy software (with the gre
