Effective Meetings by Phone - Part 1, How to Plan a Teleconference
Teleconferences can be a boon or a bust. On the positive side, they allow people at different locations to attend meetings without having to travel. On the negative side, they can degenerate into frustrating struggles with uncontrolled babble. This occurs because people lack visual contact, which hinders effective communication and provides opportunities to misbehave.Here's how to set up an effective meeting by phone.1) Plan a simple meeting. Ideally, the meeting should last less than 30 to 45 minutes. People are unable to concentrate on long phone calls. They become tired. Their attention drifts. They need to take a break. Design your meeting so that it is short and to the point. That way everyone can focus on the issues and participate effectively.2) Write out your goal for the meeting. Then make sure that this statement truly represents the result that you want to have at the end of the meeting. Lack of a clear, well-stated goal is the second biggest cause of bad meetings. Next check if a teleconference is the best way to obtain that goal. Cancel the meeting if you can achieve the goal with any other approach, such as by send

ur website and information layout. Tell them you added new content, products, etc. And you have been reading the post in the newsgroup and have come to respect many of the members opinions---so you would like their opinions on your site's 'new layout.' then toward the end of your post tell them to ask themselves when they are viewing your site:

At the end of your post leave you URL address, and a quick description of your site---your "sig file" (for those who don't know: a "sig file" is a little message at the end of your article/email/post that contains your site URL and a description of your site, products /services or new promotions.)

Two Steps for Empowering Influence in Decision-making
“Converting this world’s already-on-existent resources into the enlightened outputs” is one of the most challenging vocations; however, this jargon seems like nothing for those who see this world in a protracted way.From the national toward regional stage and finally reaching the childish tables of the General Assembly, the Permanent Security Council of the United Nations or the Consultative Meeting (CG) in the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), “the world is for all” has been a speechless pretext for any good faith or malicious argument.The Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia, from the very outset, toward other national, regional and global mechanisms, promotion of human equality is the forerunner of any other goal. However, are these mechanisms making us equal; physically and spiritually?The answer is always “no”; the commoners, no matter in what standing they are in, their self-expressions are compared as slugs that are crawling on a tough road, in competition with the snobs’ already-assigned successes.“The world is for all”, until today is just the too traditional theory, but in practicality, the world’s trends are just walki

Do you want On-line Success?

If you want to succeed online, you have to do something. (Advertise, Market, Joint Venture, product development) Doing something and failing is a lot better than not doing anything at all.

You see if you make a mistake you will still be able to learn and improve on your efforts--If you do SOMETHING. If you do Nothing you will never have the benefit of hindsight and will not be able to improve on anything-- and you will always be at the starting point.

Learning from your mistakes lets you improve whatever you fell short on the first time around: eMarketing, website design....anything.

"But every time I go to do something there is always a new eBook that comes out that is supposed to SHOW ME HOW TO SUCCEED ONLINE." (So I want to wait and read THAT one, so when I get started I will get it right the first time)."

Are you held standing still by this mind set? I know I was. It's true that today we have available to us much more eMarketing information than there ever was a few years ago, and the number of 'Top Money Makers' selling their "secrets" to success is steadily increasing. So it is quite understandable why so many people wait to start any new eBiz project.

We all suffer from this 'information analysis paralysis' or 'IAP' for short (this is just what I like to call it ^_^ ).

This simply means that we as eMarketers and eBiz owners are bombarded daily with information on how to run our businesses. All this information tends to make any marketing decision hard to conclude. Since we really don't know what will work and what won't, and again we are afraid to make mistakes...(making a mistake is not failing, it's the start to success)..

People are scared to make mistakes and they want to succeed with as little as possible. So with all this information available we tend to think that our margin for error should be non-existent. With all these eBooks and Courses on how to succeed online coming from people who actually did it (or so they say),we have no excuse to make mistakes or fail. right?

I know it was this mind-set that froze me into an IAP case for almost 2 years. Always searching for a sure-fire marketing plan/opportunity. Never actually getting around to implementing anything because something that seemed better always came out..Well what I found is... We are all human beings, we all make mistakes, some are more talented than others in certain parts of life and there is no 'Pie in the sky' 'SURE money maker'... ...Ya, I was disappointed too. (But if you find one let me know ^_^)

Now I will be one of the few that will admit, I don't know everything about eMarketing.

But I am willing to share with you some tips I’ve picked up on the way. Below are a few eMarketing techniques that have not only worked for me but for more Highly successful eMarketers as well

Just a reminder, you and I are two different people so just because something works well for me doesn't mean it will work the same for you. This is true both ways, If an eMarkeing technique works horribly for me, doesn't necessarily mean it will won't work for you... ..you determine your success, and the way you do that is by trying something, then IMPROVING your efforts and results.

Tell them you added new content, products, etc. And you have been reading the post in the newsgroup and have come to respect many of the members opinions---so you would like their opinions on your site's 'new layout.' then toward the end of your post tell them to ask themselves when they are viewing your site:

You Are More Than Your Resume
Remember the days when you were in high school or college and you had to write a term paper with a typewriter. Actually, some of you reading this article have never seen a typewriter let alone have used one. Technology has changed so fast that equipment that was “cool” and expensive in its day is now given away for pennies on the dollar at a flea market.Now enter the age of internet job search. In the past, it was sufficient to have a resume to submit to Human Resources (HR) via fax, mail or simply hand it to a friend to give to HR. Well, those days are over and you need a better method, unless you want to remain unemployed.In a competitive job market, not only must you have a solid resume, you must also find a way to differentiate yourself from the herd. iAdverto.com empowers job seekers with the tools to showcase their talents in a multimedia environment.

Business and Market Overview on Vietnam
ECONOMY. In 1986, the Vietnamese government abandoned its Marxist economic policy and implemented "doi moi" (renovation) involving economic structural reforms. These reforms included modernising and liberalising the economy and developing more export driven industries. Vietnam joined the Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) and became a signatory of the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA). The US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement in 2001 has brought major changes to Vietnam's economy and hopes to become a member of the WTO in 2006.Vietnam’s GDP grew at an average of 7.3% annually in 2000-2004 and reached US$44.5 billion by 2004 and unemployment declined from 6.4% in 2000 to 5.6% in 2004. However, inflation steadily increased reaching 7.8% by 2004 and prompted Vietnam’s government to implement monetary and fiscal controls to manage inflationary pressures.The manufacturing sector contributed towards 40.1% of Vietnam's GDP in 2004 while the service sector contributed 38.2%. The agriculture sector contributed towards 38.7% of the country's GDP in 1990 but declined to 21.8% by 2004. Major industries include processed foods, garments and shoes, mining (coal

Hiring Gretchen
I often travel the country speaking to various companies and franchise associations on the topic of great service. While on the road, I try to take those opportunities to visit chains not found near my North Texas home. On two of those trips, I visited Culver's locations in the Chicago area and Mukwonago, Wisconsin.While in the Culver's in Mukwonago, I had the pleasure to meet a server we'll call “Gretchen.” The ordering process was standard, but the service was extra-friendly as two or three people actually said hello to me as I entered the building. It's nice not to be greeted with “Next” or “Ready to order?”While I stared at the menuboard, Gretchen asked what I would like and helped by making a few suggestions. I was soon out of the menu-panic mode and placing an order. Further, when I asked if I could pick up my dessert later, my request was cheerfully granted—far different from the sigh and eye-roll that same request has earned at other places.Culver's employs a semi-service system where you place your order at a cashier, fill your own beverage, and wait until the food is delivered to your table. That's where I saw things I preach about taking pla

Why Techies Get Laid Off and How to Avoid It
I was a freshly graduated Accounting degree holder when I saw Monty Python's great comedy skit:Man to career counselor: "I'm an accountant, but I want to change jobs."Career counselor: "Why?"Man: "Accountancy is boring, boring, BORing, BORING!, boring, bor . . . ING!"Career counselor to the man: "But, sir, our tests show you're a very boring person."You're not a boring person, so you don't need to know anything about accounting. It's just for bean counters. Nothing to do with you, right?Wrong. To understand how to prevent yourself from being laid off during the next business slowdown, you must learn what a young bookkeeper in 1886 named Claude Hopkins figured out. Because of it, he changed careers and soon became wealthy.Here's what important -- that financial document known as the "Income Statement."Gross income (sales) minus Expenses equals Net Income (profit)If businesspeople want to increase profits, they must either make the Gross income figure larger or the Expenses figure smaller. Or both.Simple algebra, right?Now, as a techie, which category does your salary fall into?Yes, you're an

Once you have done this, Continually search and post informative articles in newsgroups your niche hangs out at.. and ALWAYS include your "sig file" at the end of each article this will ensure you a nice stream of TARGETED traffic. Note: make sure your "sig file" is only a brief descriptions, 3-8 lines long..DO-NOT make it into a blatant advertisement... you will lose credibility doing this.

Another note: this is a great way to get targeted traffic to your site, but don’t rely just on this method alone. as in most cases this is a long term traffic provider that will provide targeted prospects, just don’t expect any HUGE numbers...this is just a great place to start...

2)---using Pop-Ups to get subscribers---

First off if you don't have any kind of regular mailing from your website--a newsletter, eZine, product announcements anything..then your losing money.So start one now.

Now when a visitor comes to your website, looks around..then leaves, you will never see them again, so you need a way to get their email addresses for follow-ups.... and if you do have a sign up section for your eZine.... it's most likely that you're losing potential subscribers...who are then potential customers.

You have to make it easy for a visitor to subscribe... or they wont do it...face it people are lazy.. so by adding a pop-up/pop-under/exit pop up, anything.. you will definitely increase your subscriber response at least 300% overnight because you have made it that much easier to subscribe, no kidding!

3)----Viral Marketing----

This works extremely well if done correctly... though it may take a little time to get going.. when it does the response is usually "WOW".

The way to do this is create an information product or buy one you can 'brand' with your sales links..an eReport or small eBook (usually pertaining to your products.. or a problem your products can solve).. and give it away for free..telling the person you gave it to... ...to give it away as well. (telling them they can give it away as a bonus or incentive to build their own list)

when you create the product you make it so it has links all inside of it to your web-site/products you promote...... so the more people give it away the more your message is exposed to the marketplace..

Another way to go Viral is by writing quality articles, Posting them on newsgroup forums and telling the members they can re-publish it freely in their own eZines as long as they keep your "sig file" attached and whole.

This is a VERY powerful Fr~e Advertising method.

4)---Pay Per Click Search engines-----

This is a Must for targeted traffic...

But you must be careful because if you don’t know how much you can afford per visitor you can easily spend all your money ...Very quickly... Here is something you can learn in any business class:

First you have to figure out how much each visitor is worth to you. how you do this is check your:

1-Total sales over a period of time..

let's say over 1 month you sold 20 products

2-Gross Income for that one month..

20 products at $50 = $1000

(I wish you more sales than this, but for the sake of examples I want to keep the numbers round)

3)-Net Income:

calculate what you have left over after your ebiz expenses.

$1000-100=900 for hosting/ads etc.

4)Check your server logs for the number of UNIQUE VISITORS over that month.(note: your sever log is a file kept by your hosting server that records how many times some one views a certain page on your site, if you don’t already have access to it ..you can contact your hosting company and get it)

Secondly, Find how much each visitor is worth to you based on the above information...

1) Figure your conversion rate:

Unique Visitor/ Total number of sales=Conversion rate lets say you got 3000 visitors that month..

so 3000/20=150

all this means is every 150 visitors you usually make a sale.

2)Check your Net profits per sale:

Gross Profits - eBiz Expenses/Total number of sales=Net profit per sale

so: $1000 - $100/ 20 sales= $45 per sale.

3)calculate how much the visitor is wort
