When you reward your workers, they perform better.

Are you running classified ads regularly? You should. They're a powerful way to promote your business inexpensively.Online, you can place ads in ezines and on Web sites, and offline, run them in your local paper and in trade magazines.If you've tried a classified or two to promote your business and were disappointed with the results, remember that a one-shot deal won't work.You need to run your ads repeatedly.

Sometimes all it takes is a few words hitting the air to clear up a misunderstanding. If you give your people a little more control and the benefit of the doubt, they'll feel appreciated, depended on, and willing to go that extra mile.
