The net is no different. We see a product that's hot, a web page we like or a news item that's topical and our immediate reaction is to tell a friend (or several). With the internet and email our telling a friend becomes both immediate and personalis
Some years ago while researching and writing a book on the subject of industrial Buyer & Sales relationships, I also wrote a follow up chapter for future endeavors which has rolled around in the back of my mind ever since. The piece was entitled “The Value of Value”.Alright, I admit it was and could still be, construed as something of a Procurement diatribe but the purpose both then and now is to assist venders recognize and comprehend how Buyers perceive and respond, to the levels of service we receive from distributors and manufacturers when there are problems. (Notice I didn’t say, “reps”)After 20 years of battling repetitive and inane situation
When it comes to business models the internet seems to have managed to make us forget everything we knew in the Real World (RL for the acronym lovers) and slow down the length of time it takes us to re-learn it.
How else can we explain the fact that the number one selling tool in the universe is so underused on the internet that hardly anyone remembers to implement it. All right, I've played games long enough, time to get real and tackle exactly what I'm talking about.
In the real world before you change your mobile phone, splash out for that flat-screen plasma TV or set out to test-drive the latest muscle-car at your local dealer you first discuss it with your friends. That's because you're the product of an evolutionary process that has conditioned us, as a species, to pool our resources in order to reach a decision that is far more informed than anything we could have managed on our own.
More brains than one
Left alone, on an island, without even a Man Friday to talk to our store of knowledge and our ability to make informed judgements would soon deteriorate to the point where the quality of our decisions would jeopardise our chances of survival.

"Building professional branding which communicates that you are x with y years of experience in industry Z and that you know to do A,B,C.D and have knowledge in E ,F , G is boring and won’t bring you career and business success".Building professional branding is essential for one’s career and business success. Tom Peters talked about professional branding almost ten years ago. However, economic changes, globalization, new technologies, job market trends, and outsourcing have changed the meaning of the concept and it’s implementation. How can you brand yourself to be successful in the current markets? What changes do you have t

Selling on Ebay can be relatively simple once the technical aspects of posting items and filling orders is mastered. Much more difficult is developing your Ebay sales efforts into a consistent, viable business. Technical aspects aside, there are several key areas which the serious Ebay seller must also master if they are to consistently profit from an Ebay business venture.The three key areas which set the successful Ebay seller apart from the average seller are customer service, cost control, and an authority reputation.The first area, customer service, is one that many sellers seem to be lacking in. A successful Ebay business requires repeat buyer

As children we all hear the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” So we grow up, we pick a career and work at it for a while. But then what? Does the choice we made at age 20 bind us until age 65?For many people that seems to be exactly what happens, and that’s a fine choice if you’ve made it consciously. But there’s no rule that says you have to pick one career and stick with it until you retire. You can enjoy many different careers if you so choose. Many people experience this by accident (such as when they lose a job), but you can also do it by choice.Sometimes young people are paralyzed when faced with choosing a lifetime career. P

Every single topic I add to my blog is very important to me. The time I spend on a blog post really means a great deal to me also.Let me begin by saying that so many blog entries are being sabotaged immediately after being submitted. You wrote about something that you thought was important enough to be in your blog, but your readers aren't as interested as you hoped they would be. Well, keep reading because every single member here at writingup has the power to jump start each others blogs.Before adding a comment to another members blog please re-evaluate what your planning to submit. Remember that your reading content that is very important to
The net is no different. We see a product that's hot, a web page we like or a news item that's topical and our immediate reaction is to tell a friend (or several). With the internet and email our telling a friend becomes both immediate and personalised. Except that when we're in full flow, buried in reading the text on a page, checking out the stats on a sports car or weighing up the merits of a particular product we're loathe to leave the page in order to load up our email programme and spend time firing-off a message or two.
Savvy website designers who understand this have responded with the 'Tell A Friend' facility, a nifty applet that, at a click, allows you to tell your friend or friends what you've found on the net. That way you and I, as sophisticated consumers, carry on with our online activity and still engage in the critical knowledge-sharing interaction that's a characteristic of our species.
This is a classic win-win scenario. We do our bit. Website owners get to benefit by recommendations and fresh traffic and our friends find out about websites they probably wouldn't have come across as quickly (if at all).
In website design parlance a 'Tell A Friend' facility is 'empowerment'. It's allowing the surfer to increase their interaction with the website and maximise their return from its use.
Not as easy as it looks
Of course, had all this common-sense behaviour really been as common as that I would not have written this article and, in all probability, you would no
