    Branding Fiasco -- Better Be Who You Say You Are!
    Our experience as customers offers great instruction into the concept of branding. Come with me on a recent “experience” and you’ll see what I mean. Here’s the situation:I want to order an 800 number. On my AT&T bill is a customer services number. I call it. A voice mail gives four options. None of which I want. Just TRY to get a representative. I am instructed to dial another number. I am given three options. Hit 0 for operator and the disembodied voice says I have called after hours. The hours are 7am - 10-pm Monday- F

    Technology & Communication
    A study a couple of years ago found that 63% of executives were making fewer business trips because of technology.Instead of a plane trip, face-to-face meetings and a plane trip back, they used email, videoconferencing, or online meetings, according to the Accountemps study.If you're a manager who's spending less time with a suitcase and more with a mouse, you'll want to pay attention to the nature of the media we use, and especially when sending important messages.A few years ago we heard a lot about etiquette
    MSDS SHEETS

    MSDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheets. MSDS sheets contain nine sections. These sections are:

    I. General Information

    II. Ingredients

    III. Physical Data

    IV. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data

    V. Health Hazard Information

    VI. Reactivity Data

    VII. Spill, Leak and Disposal Procedures VIII. Special Handling Information

    IX. User’s Responsibility

    At the top of each sheet is a square on end. It looks like a diamond shape. It is broken into four squares inside this diamond shape. The squares mean:

    Top Square (Fire)

    Left Square (Toxic)

    Right Square (Reaction)

    Bottom Square (Special)

    In each square there is a number from zero to four. The numbers equal:

    Four = Extreme

    Three = High

    Two = Moderate

    One = Slight

    Zero = Insignificant

    This indicates how safe or volatile the product is. It also gives you an indication of whether the fumes are dangerous, if it is flammable, if it will react adversely with other chemical or if it is radioactive or biologically unsafe.

    Section I, the general information section, contains information such as:

    Who prepared the MSDS Sheet

    The product’s trade name and type of chemical

    Which chemical family the product belongs to

    If you receive a letter and a check in the mail, telling you have won some bit of an Irish Lottery, BEWARE!!I am Sherry Asbury and I live in Portland Oregon. In today’s mail there was a very authentic-looking check for $2,800 and some odd dollars, along with a letter telling me a computer had pulled my winning numbers.It seemed, at least for a few precious hours, that I might win the further amount of $120,00! This check was to defray the costs of winning an overseas amount of money. Some $5,000 would be taken out o

    Turning the Table: Questions for Your Interviewer
    (DES MOINES, Iowa – January 26, 2005) The fateful final question of all interviewers may carry more weight than you would think.

    The Motor Carrier Act of 1980 set new standards in trucking industry. Before the legislation, licenses had only 18,000 truckers and by 1990, this number increased to 45,500.
