Atricle Dump - Email Etiquette - 6 Key Guidelines to Consider Before You Hit Send
Social Media Networking is another good way to get your name out in front of people. There are several choices of sites to get involved in, depending on the type and level of involvement you are looking for.MySpace – this site has been around for several years, but it is only in the past year or so that it has been getting attention from the business community. It is fairly fast and easy to set up a MySpace account and page. Remember that the purpose of using this site is to attract clients for your business, so try not to get carried away too much with the music and videos. If you present yourself as a professional sales person you will find that there are many substantial people who are already members.Squidoo – this was started by Seth
Even if you don’t work for a large corporation, your email habits can impact your individual business and how people view you.

Colonel Sanders, the icon of Kentucky Fried Chicken®, recently went through a makeover. Only his fourth in 50 years. Management said the move is an attempt to keep the brand relevant and to promote that KFC® was actually started by the man himself. Yes, there really is – or was – a Colonel Sanders.Changing a brand’s visual identity is a very difficult decision to make. The visual image must convey exactly what the company’s leadership wants and needs it to convey. As you look at the new image of the Colonel, you may think it doesn’t make it anymore “relevant” than it did before. In fact, you may not even recognize that the image was different since the modifications are subtle.People generally don’t like change. In fact, we’re often actively
While the internet and email can provide quick and easy access to information and interactions, there are some issues of etiquette to consider. First, not all computer users view email the same way. Some people use email for business purposes only, others for a social outlet and sometimes a balance between the two. It’s important to know what people on your email contact list want to receive and what they don’t.
Many businesses have strict electronic communication policies that prohibit inappropriate content and clearly state that information created and distributed from workplace computers is the property of the company. While common, this can cause some issues. What some deem inappropriate, others do not and determining appropriate content can become a grey area. Oftentimes, when an email is sent from work the employee doesn’t think of the “big picture” ramifications.
Here’s an example.
Moses works for a large company. He’s aware of the electronic communications policy but his sense of appropriate content differs from that of management. Moses receives an email from a friend that he finds completely humorous. He quickly forwards it on to his entire email contact list. The email forward shows his workplace signature (i.e. Moses Brown, Financial Advisor, XYZ Investments with address and contact numbers). The email makes it way to several hundred if not thousand recipients via forwards. The CEO of XYZ happens to be one of those recipients and doesn’t share the same bent on humor that Moses does. What happens from here? Corrective action from management because Moses has violated company email policy and has poorly represented the company by sending inappropriate content that includes the company name, address and contact information.

Music is much like smells in that our brains link music with attitudes and experiences from our past. Music is closely tied to our emotions. Think of the theme music from Rocky and then think of Jaws; the two movie themes evoke different emotions, don't they? Local gyms pipe upbeat music outside to get passersby to associate it with high energy and good times inside. In one case, a local convenience store had problems with teenagers loitering outside. The store wanted the teenagers' business, but didn't want the drugs and fights that seemed to go with it. To that end, they decided to play a Frank Sinatra song outside the store and soon found that the teenagers voluntarily stopped loitering. On a personal leve

As a graphic artist by trade, I never dreamed that I would be in the business of Faux Painting or Decorative Art. The thought never crossed my mind, partly because I was unaware of how popular this beautiful form of art was becoming.Ten years ago there was only limited information on the various faux painting techniques. Most referred to faux finishing as “sponging” or “glazing”. In essence, the term was misused and for the most part, still is. I am referring to the fact that “FAUX” means “FAKE”, therefore, to faux paint a wall means to paint it in a way that makes the wall resemble a specific surface other than just a plain wall, such as “marble”, “wood”, etc. The sponges or glazes are just tools to achieve a certain effect on the wall.I’ve r

Modern organizations define themselves using statements of vision. They state their vision in terms of human resources and technology, a socio-technical view. Modern organizations also define themselves in terms of values. New employees entering the organization learn the value system from employees with longevity in it. How organizations incorporate socio-technical systems as a reinforcement tool of their value system is the focus of this paper.ValuesIn business, small and large, values determine course the business sets for itself. Yukl (2006) defines values as key statements of an organization. The value statement is ideological, what the organization considers important. Many values find their way into organizations including customer service,

As a new small business computer consulting firm, you might ask what level of technical staff you can put on payroll. Don't get too excited yet; you have to be realistic about this.Of course, it varies by job market, but all things being equal, what kind of technical person will your small business computer consulting firm be able to find? Can you find someone that has the wide variety of intermediate to high end technical skills that are needed for larger small business clients if your technical salary budget is only $37,500 a year?The Need for Qualified HelpYour small business computer consulting clients that have ten to fifty PC’s are going to start to have much more sophisticated needs.

Moses decides he’ll be more cautious in the future. After all, he values his job. Moses promises he’ll use electronic communications with care. A few weeks pass and Moses receives an amazing warning via email. It seems that flesh eating bananas are wreaking havoc on the nation. Concerned for the welfare of his banana eating friends, Moses quickly types out a warning and forwards the message to his entire list. Soon Moses receives e-mails from several on his list that the flesh eating bananas are a hoax. They urge him to check snopes.com before he sends anymore nonsense. Moses cannot believe it. The message he received was signed electronically by a doctor but after searching Snopes, Moses knows he needs to be even more cautious.
Moses has learned two valuable lessons.
1. Don’t forward inappropriate email from work and always consider that others may not have the same sense of humor you do.
2. Check Snopes.com or another the fact checking site of your choice before forwarding “warning” emails and make sure the people in your email address book want to receive this information.
By now you would think that Moses is electronically savvy. While Moses is being more cautious about what he sends via email and he’s learned quite a lot by visiting Snopes.com, Moses still doesn’t quite have email etiquette mastered.
An important client of XYZ Insurance emails Moses regarding some information for a business claim. Moses is working on multiple projects at once and quickly replies via email before re-reading his response or using spell check. Because of the quick and immediate nature of email communication, it’s easy to be more lax than you normally would when sending business correspondence. However, everything you email is a direct extension of your professional and personal credibility.
As Moses hit the send button, he noticed a typo and couldn’t stop his system from sending the email. While typos do happen (even to seasoned writers) it’s important to use spell check to help avoid them. In addition to the typo, when Moses pulled the email u
