WHAT ARE YOU DOING BETWEEN 12 AND 2?
If you are one to gobble down a sandwich in 10 minutes, or worse, not eat at all during the time normally allotted for lunch, think again. Not only are you deteriorating your health, you are missing out on a great opportunity to cater to your clients and potential clients. Business lunches are the perfect opportunity to build substantial and profitable relationships. People would rather do business with people they like. Then why miss out on such a great opportunity that requires a small investment of time and money while improving your business relationships and generating more sales?
Here are 10 tips to plan a great business lunch.
OUTSMART YOUR COMPETITION IN 5 EASY STEPS
You have great skills, a pleasant personality, interesting products or services but chances are, so does your competitor. Then what will make a potential client choose you? What will motivate an existing client to do repeat business?
Competition is tough, but it gets even tougher in challenging financial times. You try to find creative ways to keep your business thriving despite the slower economy but sometimes nothing seems to work, no matter how ingenious you get. Maybe that's because you are not focussing on the right area.
TURNING PANIC INTO OPPORTUNITY - 3 Steps you want to know
I am an eternal optimist and always try to see the positive side of any event. I have to admit though, that I did momentarily panic together with everyone else when the financial crisis hit strongly last fall. My head began spinning with uncertainties: "Will my business survive? Will clients still want to hire my services? Should I suspend marketing investment?", plus a dozen more questions that remained unanswered and created undesired stress.
ELEGANCE FOR PLUS SIZE BODIES
People who are plus size often feel that they simply cannot look good. Good news: this is not true. While it can be difficult to find something fitting when you are larger than the average sizes, it is definitely possible to put together outfits that look fabulous every time, whether you are a man or a woman.
Being plus size is not a fashion deterrent. You can look trendy, classy and stylish if you know how to fit your clothes correctly and choose the right colour combinations to highlight your natural skin tones. Let's review some basics.
HOW COLOUR AFFECTS YOUR BUSINESS
Someone once wrote that like death and taxes, there is no escaping colour. How true, and how fortunate we are to live in a colourful world! Most of the time we take colour for granted and give it a second thought only when we need to paint the walls of our living room, buy a new car or dye our hair.
The influence of colour in our everyday life is far more important than we give it credit for. Why is a person waiting to be interviewed on television always invited to sit in a green room? Why does a baby in a bright yellow or red bedroom have difficulty falling asleep? Why do fast food restaurants use orange as their main signage colour? Answers: green relaxes you, bright yellow and red energize you and orange stimulates your appetite and is easy to spot from a distance.
