Answer Upon - How To Be Professional
Dear Friend:Don’t do it.Don’t start your fundraising letters with “Dear Friend.”After all, when was the last time you received a letter from someone dear to you, addressing you as “Dear Friend?” Never, right? The days of the Dear Friend letter are dead. So let’s bury the Dear Friend letter together.I heard recently of a chairman of the board of a national charity who has given his charity millions of dollars and hundreds of hours of his time, yet he still receives thei

What can Economic Development Agencies do to promote the local community public relations? Often they go out of their way to promote the community itself to potential business corporate suitors. May I suggest that Economic Development Associations join in the fight against crime? Why not allow them to participate in Neighborhood Business Watch Programs. Why you ask? Well consider if you will the following;ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION: This group has no choice but to help. They rely on
Through the media and at school and college we are all repeatedly encouraged to be professional in our business dealings and working lives. What does one do to actually be professional? And just as importantly, what does one not do?
The dictionary definition of ‘professional’ is “…engaging in an activity as means of a livelihood. Extremely competent in a job. A person who conducts his business in a field also pursued by amateurs. A person who engages in an activity with great competence.”
But is it just competence enough in isolation? Definitely not. Making yourself approachable and reasonable, and giving respect to other people is important. Ensuring that you present yourself in a businesslike manner, whether in person, on the telephone, or in writing, is essential. Turning up for an important business meeting with your favorite editor in torn jeans and dirty shoes is just sloppy. Being lazy and blaming lack of time or pressure of other commitments is definitely not professional. These constraints should not stop you making sure that you always project a businesslike appearance.

I have on my desk a direct mail fundraising appeal from a hospital that I once supported with a donation. I gave them a gift of $20 as an experiment, to see how, and how often, they would write back.Across the front of this envelope are these words: “Your 2007 Annual Renewal.”A phrase like that wouldn’t normally surprise me, or disappoint me, but it did when this package dropped through my mailbox back in February because that was the first time I’d heard from this hospital since I

Karma has often been described as a negative energy that will ultimately attach to anyone who has done wrong to his fellow beings. It is, however, a misunderstood concept. People must fully realize the significance of karma to make it work for them.For instance, did you know that Karma is not just a negative mantra that you can blame your mishaps on, Karma is, in fact, a positive energy that m
Perhaps the most vital aspect of being a professional is knowing your subject from A to Z. Do your homework and know exactly what you are talking about. Telling people B.S. may come easily to you, but being found out in a half-truth or bluff will lead instantly to a loss of credibility, putting in jeopardy your professional relationships while also compromising your integrity.
Something for everyone to be extremely careful about, not just writers, is not putting anything on paper unless one is completely and utterly comfortable with it. This applies equally to websites and particularly to email. Never send anything in writing when angry. Hold fire on any emails. Type out your frustration in Word, then leave it overnight to simmer. By morning you should have cooled down sufficiently to review your writing in a more rational manner. Sometimes printing out your rantings, then tearing them into a thousand pieces works well.
Another golden rule to being professional is not to commit to writing anything with which you are not totally comfortable. The acid test is to imagine your grandmother reading it. Or imagine it on the front page of a magazine or newspaper. Importantly, being accurate and
