Perhaps it is a civic group, or a service club, or a church group, or even a family group. How often have you attended a "meeting" of your group, and not spent any time getting to know the people in the group? Too often groups are only concerned with agendas, reports, useless chitchat and weather reports, or getting business done. sam@everydayissaturday.com (Sam Crowley) Fri, 15 Sep 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlempire.com/articles/34728/1/What-You-Should-Know-About-Business-Phone-Systems/What-You-Should-Know-About-Business-Phone-Systems.html A phone system is crucial to any business, especially a small business. As a small business owner you cannot afford the huge billboards, glossy flyers, and expensive websites that large companies employ in order to win customers, nor can you personally visit each of your clients, customers, vendors and franchisees. A reliable business phone system helps you keep in touch with the people that are important to your business. david@smallbusinessconsulting.com (David Gass) Tue, 08 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlempire.com/articles/33175/1/Do-You-Know-How-to-Select-the-Best-Resume-Format/Do-You-Know-How-to-Select-the-Best-Resume-Format.html While there are a number of different potential resume format types from which you can select, the more popular format include the chronological resume format and the skill-based resume format.

Start with the very name you call your business. When deciding on the name consider just what the image is that you are trying to convey e.g. fun, serious, sensitive, caring, knowledgeable, etc. barbara@micronavigator.com.au (Barbara Gabogrecan) Wed, 12 Jul 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlempire.com/articles/22630/1/The-Customer-Is-King/The-Customer-Is-King.html All too often we think 'we know what is best for our business' when in fact we do not know if the customer agrees with us or not! The good news is that most business operators are keen to gather new information - but the bad news is that many will never put any of the ideas they read into action! It is not so much that they do not believe what they are reading or hearing - it is more the fact that it is more 'comfortable' to continue along the same path as before. barbara@micronavigator.com.au (Barbara Gabogrecan) Sun, 05 Mar 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlempire.com/articles/22468/1/What-Do-You-Do-For-A-Living/What-Do-You-Do-For-A-Living.html When someone asks, "What do you do for a living?" How do you answer? Do you say, "I work for XYZ Company and have a home based business." Or do you say "I work from home?" and leave out the day job part or something similar? Or even worse, you fail to mention your home based business at all? If you're new to Network Marketing/MLM; I'm betting you say you work for XYZ Company and my network marketing company or you fail to mention your business at all. brian@brianbaldwin.com (Brian Baldwin) Sat, 04 Mar 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlempire.com/articles/22100/1/Talking-to-People-Made-Easy-in-9-Simple-Steps/Talking-to-People-Made-Easy-in-9-Simple-Steps.html Does the thought of talking to people make you break out in hives or break out in song?

An easy way to serve up the next idea is to ask questions to keep a conversation going. peter1510@hotmail.com (Peter Murphy) Sat, 04 Mar 2006 00:00:00 -0500
