A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there existed an economy full of companies that provided defined benefit retirement plans.  On top of their desired pay levels, these plans made hiring older workers VERY expensive.  Now times have changed.  

Returning to work can be a challenge - and we expect the company to train us and help us be successful.  Many companies have structured training programs for getting new hires up to speed.  At the entry to mid-management levels of an organization, these programs are successful because the expectations are lower.  People know these employees need time to learn the job and the business or industry.

In today's competitive job market, job seekers are vying for jobs against hundreds of other eligible candidates.  And company's know - there are other fish in the sea. Networking, researching and preparing for interviews are all critical steps to improve your chances of getting the offer.

From early childhood I’ve always been a creative person. Among many things I enjoyed, and still do, is singing and acting in plays. But one of my most favorite things was, and is, writing.

Lately I’ve had several people ask me WHY they need a mailing list. It’s true that in the marketplace today, we hear many things about newsletters and mailing lists. Most experts will tell you that if you’re in business – whether it be direct sales, writing, selling your own product or service – you NEED a mailing list. I agree and here’s why:

Your Mailing List Is One The Best Ways To Communicate With Your Audience

Recently I had a moment of self-discovery. It wasn’t exactly a complete epiphany about who I am. It was more a rediscovery or redefinition of something I already knew about myself.

Something that I had never fully embraced. 

Something I had always considered a weakness.

It was empathy.

Yes, that was it. Empathy

If someone shares their story I instantly connect with it. I become immersed in the emotions they feel. I emphasize and then feel this drive to find a way to help and support them.

Sales is a game of numbers.  It is also the key to any business.  Sales means money.  Money means revenue and revenue means growth.

But sales people get that money by managing clients and accounts.  Therefore their networks are critical.  Often, when a sales person is hired, she is hired because of your client list.  The company wants access to the accounts to growth the business.

I AM SUPERWOMAN!!
