Sales Management: Tips For Conducting Performance Reviews
Author: Jerry Glynn
Author's Email Address: jglynn@chaosmap.com
One of your tasks as a sales manager is to conduct performance reviews, and whether they are conducted at the end of the year, monthly, or otherwise, these reviews are very important for you, for the company, and of course, for the members of your sales team. Feedback can boost morale, improve performance, and can also help resolve issues and get to the bottom of factors effecting employee performance.
Tip One: Have your sales team provide a list of individual accomplishments achieved since their last review. Not only will this make them feel as though they are going into the performance review with a good measure of their actual performance, but it will also help to refresh your memory when it comes to deals they have closed and projects they have worked on.
Tip Two: Be honest. Of course you should mention the good things, but you shouldnt shirk from mentioning the areas that you feel they need to focus on and improve. This is a performance review, after all, and if you do not take this time to point out problems, the chances are good that they are not going to magically disappear by the time of the next performance review.
Avoid blanket statements such as you did a good job, you need to work on this, this is what I would like to see, my door is always open, etc. Try you are an asset to the sales team, what would you do over again if you could, where would you like to be, and how can I help, instead,
Tip Three: Provide concrete examples. When you are offering your feedback, positive or negative, be sure to provide concrete examples that illustrate your point. You can say that you admire someones leadership and drive, or that you think that they need to be more proactive, but without examples, your helpful insights will sound vague.
Tip Four: Relocate. What does this mean. Typically, performance reviews take place with the reviewer behind a desk facing the employee, which, as you have probably noticed, does not do very much to alleviate anxiety and stress for either you or the person whose performance you are reviewing. Why not choose a more neutral location, the cafeteria, the lobby, or somewhere else that will facilitate a less tense atmosphere for both of you.
Remember, performance reviews are meant to facilitate communication and improve productivity, but, as you know, they also create anxiety on both sides of the table. Following these tips will help make the review process go more smoothly for both you and the members of your sales team.

Online Training Workshops: Expanding Your Network Marketing Expertise From Your Desktop
Author: John Meatte
Author's Email Address: johnameatte@q.com
Network marketing isn't new concept. The idea, also known as multi-level marketing (MLM) has been around for decades. Online network marketing, however, is a modern idea.
The World Wide Web took network marketing to an entirely new level in less than twenty years. Now entrepreneurs launch, promote and conduct business online. They may also learn basic and advanced MLM techniques through free online training workshops.
The biggest benefit to participating in free online training workshops is the ability to train without leaving one's desk. Network marketers are often consumed with trying to run their businesses. Garnering contacts and cultivating customers and recruits leaves little time for personal and professional development. Free online training workshops can help alleviate the pressures of time by providing at-home instruction.
Another benefit to taking advantage of free online marketing workshops: they are, as the name implies, free. It's hard to beat free, especially when you don't even have to leave home for it.
There's no cost for the information, tickets or transportation. Participants need not worry that they might be paying for irrelevant or misguided information. Networkers are free to pick, choose and use the information they want and can discard the rest. They won't have to feel like they haven't gotten their money's worth.
It's also beneficial to use the World Wide Web for training simply for the plethora of workshop opportunities. Few other modes of online marketing training exist which offer such a broad range of choices. Network marketers have thousands of speakers and topics available to them with just a click of the mouse.
Naturally not every free online training workshop is going to be relevant to every single MLM business person. The point, of course, to using these types of tools is to save time. Time isn't being saved if it takes hours of Internet surfing to find the best ones. Network marketers looking for basic or advanced lessons relevant to their needs should try these tips instead of surfing for good training:
* Get recommendations from the parent company. There's a pretty good chance they'll have a lot of their own training materials that marketers may access online. These will provide information that is relevant to a marketer's own niche, products/services and professional level.
* Talk to other MLM business people. This is usually the best source for relevant information. Ask around at the next sales meeting. Pay attention to links to training sites that trusted colleagues send.
* Search Google for specific authors, speakers or sales "gurus." Pay attention to the latest books on network marketing and the current top authors and speakers. Find the websites for these books or people. They are often gold mines of links to other similar resources, including free online training workshops.
The beauty of the Internet is that is has a wealth of information available to anyone who wants it. Much of it is free as well as quickly and easily accessible. Free online training workshops offer a simple solution to anyone looking for ways to grow an MLM business.

Tips For Selecting Counter Stools
Author: Victor Epand
Author's Email Address: ve_kd_marketing@hotmail.com
If you have a breakfast bar or wet bar in your home, then you need bar stools or counter stools that will add to beauty of your bar as well as represent your own unique style.
With so many designs on the market today from which to choose, you can be sure that there are many varieties of styles that will look beautiful in your home, while at the same time offering complete functionality. There are some options to consider so that your bar stools or counter stools will be completely comfortable and sturdy as well as look fantastic in your home.
First, swivel counter stools and bar stools are great since you can get on and off easily and they turn three hundred sixty degrees to get a view of the room from any vantage point. These types of stools offer a traditional classic appeal that works well with many types of home decor. If you want a touch of elegance, then you could choose the swivel bar stool and counter stool that are made from cherry or mahogany and have upholstered seats with a rich and warm fabric design. If you prefer some thing from the Mission period, then you could choose a stool with the slated backs.
If you have a wet bar in the home or prefer a sleeker more contemporary look, then leather bar stools and counter stools would be an excellent consideration. For this, you have many different styles such as the solid hard wood stools that feature clean lines and a traditional scrolled back. These counter stools and bar stools come with and without arm rests and are available in a number of wood types and leather colors.
Now, if you want some thing more industrial looking, then you could change up the leather bar stools and counter stools by choosing taller model made from chrome and that has straight legs, no arms, and a black leather seat. Metal counter stools and bar stools are beautiful and contain an elegant charm that will fit with any transitional, art deco, French, traditional, or modern style home. Without a doubt, metal counter stools and bar stools are often made with classic wrought iron for a more stylish look and with scroll work that is gorgeous that could be embellished with casting accents. With this, you could choose a bold and colorful fabric or some thing neutral, what ever works best for your needs.
Two other options for counter stools and bar stools include a tropical look stool and some thing a little on the whimsical side. For the tropical stool, these are made from bamboo or metal painted like bamboo, metal leafs, and other tropical motifs that have a cane back and a nice swivel design. For fun bar stools, then you could choose one made from bright red, blue, or yellow with a curved back and chrome stand and foot rest. Prices run the gamut and can be found in a variety of ranges from eighty dollars and up on average, depending on the manufacturer and materials used.

Author: Kristi Ambrose
Author's Email Address: KristiansUnite@gmail.com
Have you ever wanted to buy an online program, video or eBook but you weren't sure how well it would work or how legit it really was? Some of these books and or programs can cost anywhere from $5 on up to $150 so I would think that quality would be an important aspect to any consumer curious about this type of thing. Well, did you know there are actually reports you can find online, regarding these programs and books? These websites make it their business to research these programs and eBooks, and really sort out the bad apples from the good ones, finding which ones work and which ones don't and which ones received high customer reviews and which ones didn't! Listed below I have gathered some information from these sites and have listed the top three weight loss programs and eBooks according to them. Check it out!
Fat Loss Revealed -
Fitness trainer and magazine writer Will Brink has written his version of a dieting handbook. You won't find any hype or fluff in this book. He shares his expertise and fitness training experiences generously. Also, if you check out the website, there is some really great content on there for you to read through as well as a food database, forum, calorie planner, videos and even pre-made diets and charts, a great thing for people that don't have time to figure out what to make and how to make it!
Strip That Fat -
This program gives an extensive education on nutrition. The author also explains why trendy diets usually fail. This book is more of a no nonsense explanation of sensible dieting. Personally, I have heard nothing but great things about this program in particular, give it a go or a least visit the site and see what they have to offer to you!
Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle -
Contrary to the appearance of the book, this is not a body building program. The author is however, a long time body builder and has studied nutrition extensively for 14 years. The guidebook covers nutrition as well as the need for an exercise curriculum. I have heard a lot of men saying this was the BEST program they have ever joined before!
Obviously there are a ton more sites, programs and eBooks out there like this that have gotten great results and some really incredible customer testimonials but these are the top three best ones, without a doubt! The next time you are looking for some programs like this refer back to this article and visit a few of the sites.

The Popularity Of Sexy Lingerie
Author: Phoenix Delray
Author's Email Address: pdelray@yahoo.com
Lingerie is worn today as something to show off, be comfortable in, and look sexy in. Originally, it was used as undergarments for support. Lingerie originally was used for three reasons. The first reason was for women to alter the shape of their bodies, the second reason was for hygienic reasons, and the third was for modesty. Lingerie today, however, is looked at as much more than supportive underwear. Today these beautiful undergarments can be functional, comfortable, sexy and erotic, all at the same time.
The word Lingerie is a word that comes from the French word linge, which in English translates to washables. Lin also translates to linen, the material that lingerie undergarments in Europe were made from before cotton from Egypt and India were introduced. Lingerie in past times and today are undergarments that are sexy or erotic and are usually made of Lycra, nylon, satin, lace, or silk.
Before the invention of crinoline, womens lingerie was usually very bulky and roomy at best. Through the years of the 20th century, however, it became smaller and more form fitting. In the 2nd half of the century, lingerie began to become immortalized as sexually appealing and enticing and erotic. What is new in the 21st century is the idea of wearing it not only as underwear but also as outerwear. Straps and lace trim that are layered with regular outerwear have become high on the totem pole of the fashion industry. Models on runways everywhere are showing off new and inventive ways of wearing lingerie to be visible, as opposed to being worn concealed under clothing.
Many of the worlds most famous manufacturing companies also offer lingerie on a made to measure basis, like the French House of Cadolle and Kate Gibson Lingerie. Rigby and Peller are two more very famous lingerie clothiers in London that cater to women who want to provide their measurements in order to find the absolute perfect undergarments to fit their bodies. There are also many companies that have expanded lingerie to include not only bras and panties but also sleepwear and loungewear, which is lingerie that is not necessarily sexy by revealing bodies, but by providing comfortable clothing to lounge around the house in that looks dynamite at the same time.
Women today have such a huge selection in lingerie as far as styles, cuts, shapes, colors, patterns, and forms that there are sure to be perfect styles available for any woman. The focus used to be for lingerie that they had to be functional to make a womans body look better, no matter how much comfort it cost her. Today, however, women can enjoy the benefits of having great looking lingerie that is practical, looks great, feels great, and is comfortable all at the same time. There has in the past been emphasis not on the woman fitting into a certain type of lingerie, but for women to choose undergarments to fit to her instead.

How to Successfully Navigate Your Business through an Economic Downturn
by: Terry H Hill
An economic downturn is a phase of the business cycle in which the economy as a whole is in decline.This phase basically marks the end of the period of growth in the business cycle. Economic downturns are characterized by decreased levels of consumer purchases (especially of durable goods) and, subsequently, reduced levels of production by businesses.
While economic downturns are admittedly difficult, and are formidable obstacles to small businesses that are trying to survive and grow, an economic downturn can open up opportunities. A well-managed company can realize the opportunity to gain market share by taking customers away from their competitors. Resourceful entrepreneurs capture the available opportunities, from an economic downturn, by developing alternate methods of doing business that were never implemented during a prior growth period.
The challenge of successfully navigating your business through an economic downturn lies in the realignment of your business with current economic realities. Specifically, you, as the business owner, need to renew a focus on your core clients/customers, reduce your operating expenses, conserve cash, and manage more proactively, rather than reactively, is paramount.
Here are best practices that will help you to successfully navigate your business through an economic downturn:
Goals:
The primary goal of any business owner is to survive the current economic downturn and to develop a leaner, more cost-effective and more efficient operation. The secondary goal is to grow the business even during this current economic downturn.
Objectives:
• Conserve cash.
• Protect assets.
• Reduce costs.
• Improve efficiencies.
• Grow customer base.
Required Action:
• Do not panic… History shows that economic downturns do not last forever. Remain calm and act in a rational manner as you refocus your attention on resizing your company to the current economic conditions.
• Focus on what YOU can control… Don’t let the media's rhetoric concerning recessions and economic slowdown deter you from achieving business success. It´s a trap! Why? Because the condition of the economy is beyond your control. Surviving economic downturns requires a focus on what you can control, i.e. your relevant business activities.
• Communicate, communicate, and communicate! Beware of the pitfall of trying to do too much on your own. It is a difficult task indeed to survive and to grow your business solely with your own efforts. Solicit ideas and seek the help of other people (your employees, suppliers, lenders, customers, and advisors). Communicate honestly and consistently. Effective two-way communication is the key.
• Negotiate, negotiate, and negotiate! The value of a strong negotiation skill set cannot be overstated. Negotiating better deals and contracts is an absolute must for realigning and resizing your company to the current economic conditions. The key to success is not only knowing how to develop a win-win approach in negotiations with all parties, but also keeping in mind the fact that you want a favorable outcome for yourself too.
Recommended Best Practice Activities:
The Nuts and Bolts… The following list of recommended best practice activities is critical for your business' survival and for its growth during an economic downturn. The actual financial health of your particular business, at the outset of the economic downturn, will dictate the priority and urgency of the implementation of the following best practice activities.
1. Diligently monitor your cash flow: Forecast your cash flow monthly to ensure that expenses and planned expenditures are in line with accounts receivable. Include cash flow statements into your monthly financial reporting. Project cash requirements three-to- six months in advance. The key is to know how to monitor, protect, control, and put cash to work.
2. Carefully convert your inventories: Convert excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory items into cash. Consider returning excess and slow-moving items back to the suppliers. Close-out or inventory reduction sales work well to resize your inventory. Also, consider narrowing your product offerings. Well-timed order placement helps to reduce excess inventory levels and occasional material shortages. The key is to reduce the amount of your inventory without losing sales.
3. Timely collection of your accounts receivable: This asset should be converted to cash as quickly as possible. Offer prompt payment discounts to encourage timely payments. Make changes in the terms of sale for slow paying customers (i.e. changing net 30 day terms to COD). Invoicing is an important part of your cash flow management. The first rule of invoicing is to do it as soon as possible after products are shipped and/or after services are delivered. Place an emphasis on reducing billing errors. Most customers delay payments because an invoice had errors, and therefore, will not pay until they receive a corrected copy. Email or fax your invoices to save on mailing time. Post the payments that you have received and make deposits more frequently. The key is to develop an efficient collection system that generates timely payments and one that gives you advance warning of problems.
4. Re-focus your attention on your existing clients/customers: Make customer satisfaction your priority. A regular review of your customers' buying history and frequency of purchases can reveal some interesting facts about your customers' buying habits. Consider signing long-term contracts with your core clients/customers which will add to your security. Offer a discount for upfront cash payments. The key is to do what it takes to keep your current customers loyal.
5. Re-negotiate with your suppliers, lenders, and landlord:
i) Suppliers: Always keep your negotiations on the level of need, saying that your company has reviewed its cost structure and has determined that it needs to lower supplier costs. . Tell the supplier that you value the relationship you have developed, but that you need to receive a cost reduction immediately. Ask your supplier for a lower material price, a longer payment cycle, and the elimination of finance charges. Also, see if you can buy material from them on a consignment basis. In return for their price concessions, be willing to agree to a long-term contract. Explore the idea of bartering as a form of payment.
ii) Lenders: Everything in business finance is negotiable and your relationship with a bank is no exception. The first step to successful renegotiations is to convince your lenders that you can ultimately pay off the renegotiated loan. You must point out to your lenders why it would be in their best interest to agree to a new arrangement. Showing them your business plan and your action plan that includes your cost-savings initiatives, along with "the how" and "the when" of the implementation of your plan is the best way to achieve this goal. Explain to them that you will need their cooperation to insure that you can survive, as well as, grow your business during the economic downturn. Negotiated items include: the rate of interest, the required security to cover the loan, and the beginning date for repayment. A beginning date for repayment could be immediate, within several months or as long as a year. The key is to realize that your lender will work with you, but that frequent and continual communications with them is critical.
iii) Landlord: Meet with your landlord. Explain your need to have them extend the term of your lease at a reduced cost. Make sure you have a clause in the lease agreement that entitles you to have the right to sublet any or all of the leased space.
6. Re-evaluate your staffing requirements: This is a very critical area. Salaries/wages are a major expense of doing business. Therefore, any reduction in the hours worked through work schedule changes, short-term layoffs or permanent layoffs has an immediate cost saving benefit. Most companies ramped up hiring new employees in the good times, only to find that they are currently overstaffed due to slow sales during the economic downturn. In terms of down-sizing your staff, be very careful not to reduce your staff to a level that forces you to skimp on customer service and quality. Consider the use of part-timers or the current trend of outsourcing certain functions to independent contractors.
7. Shop for better insurances rates: Get quotations from other insurance agents for comparable coverage to determine whether or not your present insurance carrier is competitive. Also, consider revising your coverage to reduce premium costs. The key is to have the right balance-to be adequately insured, but not under or over insured.
8. Re-evaluate your advertising: Contrary to the other cost-cutting initiatives, evaluate the possibility of increasing your advertising expenditures. This tactic realizes the advantage of the reduced "noise" and congestion (fewer advertisers) in the marketplace. The downturn period a great opportunity to increase brand awareness and create additional demand for your product/service offerings.
9. Seek the help of outside advisors: The use of an advisory board comprised of your CPA, attorney, and business consultant offers you objectivity and provides you with professional advice and guidance. Their collective experience in working with similar situations in past economic downturns is invaluable.
10. Review your other expenses: Target an across-the-board cost-cutting initiative of 10-15%. Attempt to eliminate unnecessary expenses. Tightening your belt in order to weather the downturn makes practical, financial sense.
Proactively managing your business through an economic downturn is an enormous challenge and is critical for your survival. However, through well-planned initiatives, an economic downturn can create tremendous opportunity for your company to gain greater market share. In order to take advantage of this growth opportunity, you must act quickly to implement the above best business practices to continue realigning and resizing your company to the current economic conditions.
