Answer You - The Sign of a Great Leader - Consideration of Others
My grandmother has always taken an interest in my personal and professional undertakings but I was still surprised when she expressed the desire to learn more about my job as a merchant account manager (not exactly a titillating position). During the course of our discussion, I explained that we generally charge between 1.5% and 1.75% for retail transactions (depending on the type of card) and over 2% for Internet and MOTO (mail order telephone order) transactions. My grandmother shook her head in disbelief and immediately determined that these fees “were too high
Think back to that experience. Could it have been a miserable situation because your job involved tasks for which you weren’t comfortable or felt well suited?
I once worked for the phone company in one of their phone stores
“Businesses with fewer than 20 employees have only a 37%chance of surviving four years (of business) and only a 9% chance of surviving 10 years. Restaurants only have a 20% chance of surviving 2 years. Of these failed business, only 10% of them close involuntarily due to bankruptcy and the remaining 90% close because the business was not successful, did not provide the level of income desired, or was too much work for their efforts.”–excerpt taken from an article written by Rob Holland, ‘Planning Against a Business Failure’As a new restaurant owner (or
If all our associates were great sales people, who would handle finance, marketing, technology or human resources? As considerate leaders we have to look to the innate value of each associate or else our turn over rate will be greater than a fast food restaurant.
In the Bible, Jesus describes the church as a human body – lots of different parts all working together for greater success.
As an associate – there’s nothing worse than going to work everyday, dreading the experience. Certainly you’ve had jobs where you just didn’t feel successful and the hours would drag, right?

Entrepreneurs work harder than most Americans. They spend countless hours and enormous amounts of energy trying to reach business and financial goals that are often elusive. They seem to be doing all the right things: attending seminars, scouring the latest business books, networking, guerilla marketing, hoping, and praying.We all know of business owners who go through the same motions yet they are far more successful and don't work nearly as hard. And, they seem to have more fun. Surely you've seen situations where two people are in the same business, someti

As we all work hard to grow in our careers, we must not lose sight of what is most important in life. Sure, it's great to drive a great car, live in a comfortable neighborhood and "keep up with the Joneses," but there is more to it all than that. At the root of everything is providing for our families, which are there for us through thick and thin. They are the real reason for our hard work and sacrifice.When you see wealthy neighborhoods, they are impressive. Big homes, well manicured lawns with gardeners to tend to them, and usually, an expensive car in the

When is the last time you worked on a day or evening that you had set aside to do something with your family and went to an appointment or party instead? How did you feel when you were there? Did you feel a little angry for letting the people who are most important in your life down? It's not a great feeling is it?One of the most important things I took into consideration when I was beginning my job in Direct Sales was that I needed something that I could work around my family and other obligations. It would be a lot different from what I was accustomed to wh

Finding products to sell is fundamental to those who have Internet stores, auction sites, or sell through stores such as Amazon or Ebay. However, it may be difficult to determine where you will find those products to sell.There are a number of different ways to find products to sell as well as many scam artists who like nothing more than to prey upon unsuspecting but well-meaning storeowners. Whether selling online or in your hometown, you need to check out every wholesale company or drop shipper with the Better Business Bureau and Rip Off Report to make su

I once worked for the phone company in one of their phone stores and I loved it. I enjoyed helping people select their phone equipment and I felt successful. Circumstances in my life required I move to another city and I attempted to transfer to a sister company. I applied for what I thought was a customer service job. However, the day that I interviewed, they were interviewing for customer service representatives and cold call sales associates. The distinction between the two openings wasn’t made clear in the interview and I accepted a position that wasn’t what I’d applied for.
I very quickly learned that cold calling was not for me. I did everything I could to avoid picking up the phone and making those calls. Several painful months went by before my boss called me into his office with the message that I was no longer needed. I was devastated but relieved.
I wasn’t suited for cold calling.
I soon landed a job working for a franchisee of a magazine called Travelhost – the Cincinnat
