The first measures the inputs to the web, most used words, the most viewed pages, etc. .. etc. .. a ³ n very useful information for any company, yet is unable to keep track of all those who “collect” the information each day n and channel it into their systems. So if it takes feedburner , and analyzing it today, I was surprised this à º last of the amount of subscriptions to feed people do. That tells me more and more people read RSS feeds, feed or whatever you want is called. They still do not know if anyone that is, look here .

successful The highly competitive coaches have the clear idea that good results are a direct consequence of the positive attitude with athletes or players, and this is the most important factor for excellence in a sporting event, also applicable to business and life itself. In a Winter Olympics a few years ago, were tested three styles of training in different groups:

-First group: 100% fitness.
-Second group: 50% 50% physical training and motivation.
-Third group: 75% motivation and 25% physical training.

Surprisingly, the third group had the best results and the conclusions reached was that success was more related to the proper attitude that sport skills.

All humans have a good attitude when things go well, when we are stars of our teams and we won some good games. However, what is our attitude when our team is losing, when the referees whistle against us, when partners we do not pass the ball or when the coach holds us accountable for the team to lose?

Consider for a moment your company is on the brink of the abyss, or your business does not work as you want or perhaps you’re a freelancer who have few job orders and plans ideaste not generate the desired results, we think it not worth the pain and think you’ve lost the plot, as a result these frustrated, did you ever feel like that?

business customerContinuing with the second part of the article “know your customer is a good strategy,” here are the following:
Ask questions that allow a dialogue : Do not ask closed questions that only report a “yes” or “no” answer. Such questions usually begin with words such as “Is”, “Son” or any other verbal form.Instead, try to ask questions that begin with “what” “when,” “where,” “how,” “tell me” and “why”, since they virtually compel a person to give more elaborate answers .

Get answers that will start conversations. For example, if asked, “Do you have problems with suppliers?” not reach as far as if you ask, “What would you like to improve their suppliers?” Its aim is to make your prospects talk about their problems and concerns so that you can find a way to solve them through your company.

Avoid questions that help close the door : Instead, ask questions, to request key information. If a customer asks, “Would you I can make a statement in connection with this project?” Get response “yes” or “no” and would be it. However, if you start saying, “Tell me the criteria for a proposal may obtain critical information …”, instead of ending the conversation.

 Executive SummaryThe executive summary is something like a preview of your business idea which serves to awaken the interest of a person or group, when facing a potential investor or a bank, it is the same: you learn how to seduce and generate positive expectations about your project. Not only is a summary of your business plan: this is your first gun sales.

Three key tips for Executive Summary:

1. Design a visual summary
The executive summary should be long enough to explain the project business in all its dimensions, but short enough so that the reader does not tire in the first two leaves. Should also invite you to read the rest. But most importantly, must be designed visually, so that the investor (if applicable) can? Scan? the text and realize at first glance what it is about the project.

Remember you are in front of an audience that may not have much time to pause after each sentence. How? Structure begins to tell exactly what each title and subtitle in the text and, if possible, what to highlight in bold the phrases and concepts highlighted. A weapon? Flow of ideas? so you can prioritize what is most important (that which can not fail to say).

2. If short is good. If it is short and clear, excellent.
To design an optimal visual structure should analyze in detail what you mean and present your arguments certainly stronger. Do not be repetitive, but make sure your audience understands the point with only a short reading. Work out with friends and acquaintances. Ask them to read the text quickly and they tell you what they mean. Then do it a second time, but this time with more pause.
