    At Work With Employment Laws
    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and state extensions of Title VII when added to the ADA, FMLA, ADEA, EPA, FLSA, USERRA, PDA, OSHA, OFCCP, Affirmative Action, Workers Compensation, Minimum Wage, with many others, create a firestorm of confusion for those who are unfamiliar with employment laws. What is confounding is that any one of these laws with the exce

    Marketing Performance Management
    Marketing consists of spotting the needs of customers and meeting them in the best possible manner. Marketing research plays a key role in this process. Starting with marketing measurement, marketing research helps the firm in every component of the total marketing task. It helps the firm acquire a better understanding of the consumer, the competition and the marketi
    A reader recently commented that my articles didn't "wow" her.

    Well, of course not -- my intention is not to impress or dazzle people!

    My goal is to provide useful information. And useful information can often be "unglamorous" because it is ... well... so utilitarian.

    For instance, someone recently asked about how best to build a list of contacts for her business.

    She has started a new business and attends events to build her contact list. However, she finds that most people at these events tend to stick to others they already know.

    Although she's not a shy person, she found that breaking into these pre-formed groups was difficult.

    My response is straight-forward:

    1. Start with a clear idea of the kinds of contacts you're looking for.
    2. Look for people you already know, who may be able to introduce you to such contacts -- so you don't have to attend "events".
    3. If you need to (or want to) attend events to find additional contacts, go with a specific "agenda" so you can be focused and actually leverage the power of the pre-formed groups.

    Free Payroll Software
    Finding free payroll software can be a tough task. It is also not an ideal solution for most businesses. The ideal payroll software helps companies to easily process employee payrolls. Tracking of tax withholding, vacation time, over time and other benefits are some of the other important features found in most payroll software. When you opt for a free payroll softwa

    Hotel Booking Online Makes For Easy Business
    If you've ever attempted to make a group hotel booking, you'll know how difficult it can be. When it comes to business meetings or conferences in particular, mass hotel bookings can be particularly hard to co-ordinate. After all, it's likely that all the delegates attending the business meeting you're planning will be arriving from different parts of the country at d

    What is CRM and Why Do I Need It?
    “Don’t worry about the definition of CRM.

    Airline Dispatcher Job Sites
    In several related articles I made mention of finding work as a flight coordinator, as a flight attendant, or as a pilot. Each specialty, as you can imagine, has its own requirements, hence the job sites that feature these types of opportunities are not always the same.

    Here's what I mean:

    Let's say you want to become a "preferred vendor" at companies or organizations, so you can provide your products or services to their employees.

    You'd attend events with a specific goal of finding and compiling a list of contacts at these types of companies.

    For example, if you were a coach or a massage therapist, wanting to find companies that offered coaching or massage at the workplace as employee benefits, that's what you'd look for and ask about: Are there companies that do this? If so, which ones? And what's the process to become a "preferred vendor"? And so on.

    Here's where the pre-formed groups can actually be helpful to you:

    If you're able to introduce yourself to the group and ask your question, you'd be able to tap into the collective knowledge and network of the entire group -- not just one person.

    If the groups seem to "tight", and you're unable to (or feel too awkward to) break in, consider asking the meeting organizer or someone at the registration desk to get you started.

    In most cases, this works very well, because meeting organizers want newcomers to feel welcome. After all, they want their events to be successful!

    Meeting organizers will most likely introduce you to a regular attendee, who will probably know other regular attendees.

    And once you meet one person in the "inner crowd", you can ask
