It is always worthwhile to consider the uses of training programmes in your business.

They can be used for management training, customer services training, or even call centre training and are designed to be suited for all learning types to ensure you are getting the best value for money.

These range from short 2 hour chunks for concentrated learning, right through to modular programmes that may last several days and cover more information in greater detail.

How to add contacts in DirectMatches

How to add contacts in DirectMatches by Randi Moore

Now, we get into the real fun stuff. This is the bread and butter of DirectMatches. This is the reason why you stay here and continue to use this site. Without contacts, you have nothing here. So, I am going to show you how to add contacts, lots of them, easily and efficiently so that you have a continuous stream of people to talk to, network with, and market to. This is what it's all about.

Since writing this post, I have almost 44,000 contacts in DirectMatches. That number has probably grown and will continue to grow as you read this. I have been on DirectMatches for just over 3 years, so it has taken some time to build up that contact list. But, with the proper work and attitude, you can have a huge list as well.

Why do you want a large list of contacts? Several reasons: 1. you will always have new people to send group mails to 2. you will always have messages in your inbox, which gives you more opportunities to get to know people, makes friends, and share you business 3. you will be considered an expert in the system and people will look to you for advice 4. you increase your odds of making profile of the week or profile of the month, which earns you a $100 bonus 5. you will constantly have new products and ideas to research that can help you and your business ...and so much more.

So, how do you add contacts? Several ways: 1. Whenever you have an email in your inbox, click on the person's profile and click on "add me to contacts" from their profile page. 2. Each day, send a congratulations email to the profile of the day winner and then add them to your contacts. 3. Each week, send a congratulations email to the profile of the week winner and then add them to your contacts. 4. Each month, send a congratulations email to the profile of the month winner and then add them to your contacts. 5. Approve all new contacts from your profile page that sent you a contact request. 6. Add all your personal referrals as a contact. 7. When you listen to our Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday team calls and are given the top user names of those on the call that can help you and address your questions, add them to your contact list (and also add them as favorites, so that you can easily access them when you have questions and need an immediate answer or help. This is done directly from their profile page, where is says "save as favorite.") 8. and my all time favorite - go to the search tab at the top of your profile page, click on networking search, unclick any checked boxes, search profiles within the last 24 hours, and allow for 50 profiles per page, don't touch anything else, and click on submit. You will usually have 1 to 2 pages of people who have joined DM in the last 24 hours. Click on "add me to contacts" and go down the list until you have hit every one. You can expand your search to people within your local area, people who do the same business as you, etc.

You will have more contacts then you know what to do with by just adopting some of these methods listed. And, with that, you will have an endless amount of people to network with, get to know, and market to.

Weathering the Economic Storm: How Small Businesses Compare to Corporate Giants

Weathering the Economic Storm: How Small Businesses Compare to Corporate Giants by Al K Lloyd

An amazing trend has been identified...Small business is outlasting many of today's corporate giants! Surprised? I'm not. Many small businesses in America have been weathering this storm for decades. The ones that have lasted throughout the years had battened down the financial hatches decades ago. It is interesting to see this principle still at work today. Most of the smaller companies that I have researched have survived without utilizing a business line of credit, however there are a great deal of businesses out there that seem to survive off of business loans exclusively. The latter choice almost always leads to certain bankruptcy or unrecoverable profit losses for the business in question.

How can this be avoided? The first key would be sound financial decision making by the business owner or their financial advisors. This alone is almost enough to keep a struggling business afloat in hard financial times. Another key point is to know your market. This is an invaluable tool and is most commonly overlooked by small business owners. You may be surprised to find out that the recreation industry booms big in hard times, contrary to popular opinion. People have been conditioned to spend money, whether they have it or not, and when the financial world is going down the drain, what better way to take your mind off of the whole mess than by going out to enjoy yourself. This may seem like a bold idea, but if you really think about it, it's true.

Small business has survived because they have never been used to the billion dollar bail-outs, high priced getaways, and high profile corporate luxuries that we have all heard about on the news. Small businesses realize that the financial decisions that they make today critically effect their economic tomorrow. Small business represents the last of a die hard breed of commerce that will continue on long after the corporate giants have fallen. They are used to the economic struggle of the times and will continue to thrive despite the challenges that lie ahead in the future of finance. A good contributing factor to this is the availability of small business grants and aid that has always been readily available to them. These resources combined with frugal business practices, wise decision making, and good old common sense insure that their survival will be preserved through this economic storm and many more to come.
