It's the one in five who is caught by the headline will read on and proceed to the body copy.Without a headline, not only have you, as the advertiser, lost some 80% or your readership, but chances are you have lost 100%. Why? Simple, what was used to capture your rea

Many business owners of small business computer shops share the same frustrations around having technicians not return phone calls to clients, not filling out time sheets, not sharing information with their peers in the company, and simply just not showing up on time. You are not running a babysitting service and these types of employees can simply use up all of your energy too quickly.

Construction Industry: Women Armed and Dangerous Have Mediators Frustrated

However, we don’t have all of the parts we need for any of the products."That quote came from the Director of Purchasing regarding the new Oracle system the company had just implemented.

Manpower in some areas of Canada is hard to find, so small business IT consulting firms usually end up hiring the best of the worst because that is all that is out there. The worst people, who have jumped from job to job, contract to contract, and city to city because they are just that – the worst, no one wants them, except you! These types of employees end up eating up all your critical resources, your time, your strength and most importantly your reputation. When you fire them, they may just end up at your competition and start using all their time and efforts.
