Packaging Experiences - Part I: The Assessment
Branding alone isn’t enough these days, people want experiences, they want magic moments and memories to enrich their lives with. To create these experiential moments requires you to identify and appreciate what creates the magic for your consumer and enhance it at every ’touchpoint.’So how do we go about the daunting task of packaging experiences? Job number one is taking an honest unbiased look at your brand offering to define the experience opportunity that makes the most sense. You will need to assess your brand and how it fares in each of the five core brand com

Selecting a Network Marketing Company
Just like in any business, failure to attract new customers will inevitably lead to failure. Therefore, it is imperative to the success of any network marketing business to have an effective marketing plan.There are two marketing models in network marketing. They are:Sales ModelThis approach advocates having a new distributor make a list of 100 people they know that they could introduce to the opportunity. Once the list is completed, the new distributor and his sponsor call each name on the list, attempting to sell the person your opportunit

It's hard to imagine that establishing a successful Teleconference call can conjure up thoughts of buying ones first stereo, but that's exactly the sentiment I felt when a group of our employees met to discuss ways to assist our customers in managing their remote "Teleconference" meetings successfully. Let me explain...

Circa 1978, freshly graduated from university and after working at the telephone company for a few months, I had enough money to venture out and buy those Bose speakers I'd read so much about! My dilemma, needless to say, centered on the fact that 8-track's were still semi fashionable, turntables were mainstream and tape decks were taking off! Do I choose the fashion of 8-track or the industry "buzz" of tape decks over the wood grain/direct-drive turntable the salesmen was promoting. I chose the turntable, a decision I applaud to this day! Despite all three technologies having long given way to CD's and downloadable music, my turntable is the one piece of technology that still survives in my media set-up. I long ago abandoned playing vinyl on a regular basis, but the sweet sound a turntable can produce on an old Jazz or Blues album is spectacular.

How does the decision to buy the turntable in any way shadow an article on "Successful Teleconferencing"? Well, it begins and ends with the words the salesmen said to me prior to my purchase. "The system is only as good as it's weakest link". These words resonated with me, essentially telling me that the Bose speakers might be a wonderful buy, but if any part of the stereo system was less than equal to the speakers, the sound it produced would only be as good as the lesser part, or "weakest" link! These are words that we live by in the teleconference world. Essentially, for a teleconference call to be successful all the components need to be work

Top 7 Ways Speaking Will Help You Create Visibility For Your Business

The more often you speak, the more quickly you will notice that the perception becomes reality.2. Speaking introduces you to a wh

Are You Practicing On Your Best Prospects
How much time do you spend practicing and developing your skills? Do you practice a new technique on a prospect or on a fellow salesperson or your supervisor first? Do you not practice at all, but just show up?Show me any athlete in any sport who achieves success, fame or even makes a decent living, and I will show you someone who spends more time practicing than in the performance of his/her sport.

The Business Calendar
THE NEW CALENDARWe have been following the Christian Gregorian Calendar for almost 2000+ years now and it sure is a non standard way of counting the days, months and years as it is based on the solar year which is defined by the time taken for the earth to make one complete revolution round the sun.Now, this calendar becomes klutzy because of the fact that the twelve months don't conform to an equal number of days and also the leap year factor of Feb 29 which is necessary every four years to keep it in synch with the solar year.Why is it necessary to be in synch wi

How the Participants join a meeting, what type of device they call in on, ie: a landline or mobile device, and how they interact in the meeting, has a huge impact on the success of the meeting! I would like to share a list of "tips" that will help you get the most out of any teleconference meeting that you participate in. Please share these tips with other users and Moderator(s) of teleconference calls and I can guarantee you your meetings will be more successful.

Before the call begins:

Write down your teleconference dial-in number and pin code and place it in a convenient location so you can find it on the day of the call. If you use an electronic scheduler then put it in there.

It's always best to use a landline for the call and take the call in a location where you won't be interrupted. If you must use a mobile telephone, know how to mute your telephone or ask the Moderator of the call if there is a code you can use to mute your telephone.

Be prompt - dial into the assigned call at the scheduled time. If the call is underway, it is best to say nothing until there is a break, or until the Moderator welcomes you.

If you are the Moderator of the call, get the call-in details out to Participants well in advance of the call. Establish a clear agenda for the meeting!
