Making Your Ordinary Business, Extraordinary!
These last few weeks, I was so interested with a small stall near my residence in Jakarta, Indonesia. That small stall (kios, we say in Indonesian) is always crowded with so many people, starting from 3 o’clock on -- all the way to almost midnight! What are they selling? Fried bananas!Yup “only” fried bananas. After finally tasting the famous fried bananas and reviewing the taste, my husband and I were discussing about reasons why that small stall named “Pontia” shop can be so successful. And from those conclusions we made, I w

In other words, an incentive program contains the characteristics of time based and output based systems of wage payment.Sound incentive program must be easily understood. It should be accep

As a sales manager for a small business, I was constantly looking at ways to improve our domestic and international sales. One avenue that always proved lucrative to sell product through, was that of the independent agents and distributors. These independent agencies are located throughout the world and serve as your eyes and ears to developing new customers. Working in a small business setting, I had limited funds and only had a sales team of two other sales engineers. While there was physically no way for the three of us to cover the world selling direct, we were able to do a very efficient and profitable job working with our 18 domestic and 42 international independent agents and distributors. Looking at some bigger numbers, between my two sales engineers and 60 agencies working for us, I had approximately 240 people selling product for the company.

If you ask everyone you know if they have any contact with a certain company, you will find that there is always someone that knows a person that works there. By contacting that person you may get closer yet. It just takes persistence. To make the gap even closer, find out what events that company is hosting in the future and see if you can get an invitation to go. At company events, the executive are usually in attendance and the introducti
