Funding For Your Internet Business

Have you ever thought of or come across what you believe to be the right internet business opportunity but you don’t have start-up capital and enough money to stay afloat until you start making a profit? There are several options which are open to you to get that start-up capital. Here are three of these options, bearing in mind the costs of repayment and timeliness. (1) Loans from banks Many banks do not do personal loans for business purposes. They may also be unwilling to offer a business loan for what they would undoubtedly consider a risky project. Read their terms and conditions carefully, paying particular attention of term of the loan and interest rates. Also answer all questions as honestly as you can. Another option is to secure the loan on your home if you have one. You should think carefully about doing this, as you may risk losing your home if you fail to keep up with repayments. If you have spotted that business opportunity and you are itching to start but do not hav...

Fear - The No. 1 Emotion That Stops Sales Success

Sales managers have a number of roles to fulfill. One is sales coaching, which kind of like playing sales doctor, trying to properly diagnose the root cause for poor sales performance. There are a number of places to examine during coaching sessions, but one often-overlooked area is understanding how the emotion of fear affects the salesperson’s actions or inactions. Fear of failure inhibits the application of logical selling behaviors that ensure success. You’ve told your sales team the value of calling on the C-suite. However, they can be fearful of calling on big titles, big offices and being presented with big questions. Fear of looking stupid. You’ve taught your team proven selling tactic works; however, salespeople fear looking stupid because they haven’t mastered the new skills. Fear of not having what it takes. The salesperson did call on the C-Suite and it was a disaster. I tried this before and it didn’t work. Fear is not a logical emotion and...

Advantages and Disadvantages of Visual Approach and Communicative Teaching Approach

The main disadvantage of the audio visual approach is that it does not encourage the students to continue to learn as the grade achieved serves as an end to the process. Many students taught by the audio visual approach despite getting high grades could not communicate or speak well. They may be able to write well but ‘good’ speech is not inherently something that they can do years afterward. The main drawback of the communicative language teaching approach is that it is commonly short- usually months only. It does not dwell on drilling; instead it covers the various ways of communication with contextualization, translation and speaking skills. During the study period, various role play and group projects may be used but if the student does not and cannot speak up then the approach may be considered to be unfruitful. Therefore the best approach may be a combination of both approaches. It can be tailored for younger students by being closer to the audio visual approach and th...

Business Change - The Roles of Change Agents and Subject Matter Experts in Organization Change

This can be a decision that may lead to increased productivity and a bigger chance for success. Change agents have a lot of expertise, but they’re not subject matter experts. Because they are hired by many corporations, it’s quite hard for a change agent to be an expert in every single detail of every business that they work for. Most business change who have achieved success, have employed subject matter experts to help out. The job of the change agent is to deal with the parts of the process that are part of their expertise. This may involve coming up with new procedures for evaluation, developing channels of communication so all parties have a smooth way of passing information with each other, or keeping the internal staffing on task with the change process. Change agents have one other primary role and that is to make certain that there are subject matter experts on hand if ever and whenever their input is necessary. Subject matter experts are usually not qualified enoug...

Small Business Branding - 5 Lessons On How Customer Service Communicates Beyond the Brand

Small business branding is simple when you remember one thing: it’s all about the customer’s experience. Here’s a true story from one of my professional speaking travel logs: It all started at the airport. The free shuttle van to the hotel arrived and a pleasant man with white hair and a huge smile stepped out and did something no shuttle driver has ever done. He shook my hand and introduced himself as Robert. In that moment I knew this ride was going to be different. Instead of selecting a seat in the back, as the only rider in the van I decided to ride “shotgun” – in the front seat next to Robert. For the next few minutes Robert kindly shared with me the recent history of the area, talked about his family and little grandchildren, and chatted with me about the weather. When I asked him to re-route to take me to a drug store to pick up an item I promised a friend, he didn’t hesitate. Then he quickly took me to my destination and carried my bag ...
