Tips For Colorado Business Owners Who Work From Home


For many business owners, it can sound like a dream come true: your very own business that you can run right from the comfort of your own home. There are some very real advantages to working at home (no commute, convenience, the ability to care for a child, etc) but it also comes with some specific issues that can affect your productivity. Here are some ways to stay on track if you have a business out of your home or just work from home occasionally:

Create A Workspace

 One of the most important parts of running a successful home business is setting up a place solely designated for work. If you don’t have a room in your house to turn into an office, this space could simply be a special desk or table where you can keep all your office supplies, computer, and any other equipment you use throughout your workday. Be sure to keep this area distraction free. That means setting up shop somewhere far away from the television and other things that could tempt you away from working.

Make A Schedule and Stick To It 

Another difficult aspect of working from home is keeping on task. If there is no boss setting deadlines for you, sometimes it can be hard to act with urgency and focus. To help alleviate this, try creating a schedule for yourself to follow. If you know that you are most productive in the morning, plan to do your most challenging tasks then. Group similar activities together, like making phone calls or answering emails. Constantly switching gears throughout the day will only lead to lost time trying to get into new grooves. Don’t get overwhelmed by tasks and try to do too much at once.

Take Notes 

 If you find your days going by without much accomplished, it may be helpful to make notes of how you are spending your time. If you are regularly taking 10 minutes to get up and make a snack or you spend a lot of time picking up the house during working hours, you can wind up getting off track. Spend a week writing down how you spend your time, then review your notes and determine what you can do to become more productive. When you do it right, working from home can be a productive, enjoyable experience. All you need is a little discipline.

10 Proven Ways To Increase Sales




Follow These Steps To Win More Steps
Segue to proactive mode Identify prospects Lean on loyals for referrals Create a strong pitch Cross-sell and up-sell existing customers Get partners to sell for you Follow up (with thanks) after the sale Segue to Proactive Mode The first and most important thing you can do to upgrade your sales results is very simple: Make your sales effort a priority. It seems obvious, but sometimes with all the minutiae of running a business, you get caught up in other activities that don’t put you directly on the path to growth.

Over time, this can become a rhythm that sticks you in the status quo, stagnating. If this sounds familiar to you, it’s time to change your mindset.

To knock the dust off your current sales effort, here are some easy but helpful tips to move you into proactive selling mode.

Create a daily sales checklist. For example, identify the number of accounts you’ll approach today. Set aside a specific amount of time each day when you’re focused strictly on selling activity (or at least, someone at your business is). Treat your selling time as sacred. Don’t let inbound e-mails or piles of snail mail distract you or break your focus. To sell effectively, you have to be in selling mode. Know your product or service in and out, rehearse your script, get upbeat, heck — listen to a favorite inspiring song if that’s what it takes! Just be sure you get in the zone, because this kind of energy brings out the best in you. Plus, it’s wildly contagious.

Look at sales as a numbers game. Rejection is an opportunity to learn, streamline your pitch and try again. Be sure you crank up the pipeline of potential sales so you have good odds of closing on enough business to meet your goals. Set performance goals. For example, you will achieve $X in sales during Y period of time. If you don’t reach the goals, you need to analyze why. It could be that you need to, a) make changes in what you’re offering, b) change the way you’re offering it, or perhaps, C) reset your goals at more reasonable levels. Unify everyone’s effort at the company by sharing the goals team-wide. There’s nothing like keeping everyone informed and aligned to create an environment where people are armed to be proactive.

3 Sales Tips for Leveraging Social Media, Increase Your Sales Awareness



3 Sales Tips for Leveraging Social Media 

Social media impacts our lives a little bit more every day. Time spent on mobile web browsing has more than doubled over the past 2 years, and it is projected to increase another 50% over the next 4 years. A large percentage of that time is spent on social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, just to name a few. Below are statistics from the most recent study by McKinsey on the implementation of social media tools in business.

 How can sales professionals make the most of social media in their selling efforts?
 1) Develop a Plan Setting up an account on Facebook, LinkedIn, or any other social site is not a plan; it is a first step. The first choice you need to make is which mediums to concentrate on. The easy way to decide is to answer the question, “Where do your target customers spend their time?” Pick two mediums that are most used by your potential customers and allocate adequate time each week to really work on your plan – no less than 2 hours per week is suggested.

2) Get Involved One part of developing your social selling plan is to decide what you will actually do to maximize your time each week. Minimally you should join appropriate groups and get involved in discussions. If all you do is join a group and post your own personal commercial each week, don’t expect to see results. It takes time to build credibility by contributing insightful comments and adding value through what you contribute to the group. This also applies to anything business-related you post on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or any other site. Before you post anything always ask yourself, “Why would anyone care?”

3) Include a Blog Strategy Blogging is one of the most effective means of expanding your influence and reach through social media. Writing a blog that has interest to your targeted prospects and customers can build credibility and generate interest in your professional capability. It is very easy to create a blog through WordPress or any number of blog hosting sites, and it is also very easy to publicize your blog through social outlets. Here is the catch – once you start, you must make sure you maintain a regular discipline. It takes time, consistent use of good content, and patience to establish a reader base, but it is well worth the effort.

Four Ways to Make Denver Employers and Recruiters Come After You When Job Searching


Four Ways to Make Employers and Recruiters Come After You!
Jobs Info Trends Blog Link 

Share to TwitterShare to Facebook Utilizing job listings, networking in your industry (and other industries) and applying to companies you want to work at -- these are all great ways to go after a job. But how can you make employers and recruiters come after you? We asked Career Rocketeer's Chris Perry, a career-search and personal-branding expert, for four self-promotion tips. Here's what he advises for the modern job seeker:

1. Start Blogging Starting and maintaining your own blog requires commitment and an investment of your time, energy and creativity. While you can blog on any topic you desire, focusing your blog's theme and content to better serve your industry can be an outstanding way to show off your personal brand and demonstrate your unique value to potential employers and career stakeholders. A blog can be a great entrepreneurial venture to include on your resume and online profiles, and it demonstrates industry involvement and contribution outside of your full-time experience. Blogs are easy to start on numerous free and self-hosted platforms.

2. Get QuotedWhether you start your own blog or contribute guest posts regularly to industry-related blogs, getting quoted in blogs, online magazines, books and printed periodicals adds a new credential for you to tout in your job search and boosts your personal brand. Help a Reporter Out (HARO) is a free service that links journalists, bloggers and authors who need quotes from experts and experts-to-be who can provide them. Sign up to receive daily queries from HARO, and respond as often as possible (and as appropriate) to queries related to your field or areas of interest. Before long, you may be quoted in the Wall Street Journal or interviewed for a leading blog, which will increase your credibility across your network and beyond.

3. Get to Know the Important Players in Your IndustryMost job seekers and professionals neglect informational interviews, likely because they sound boring, hard to get, ineffective or all of the above. But informational interviews are actually powerfully effective both in your job search and in your professional networking. By reaching out and asking for a few minutes to learn about a fellow professional's career and experience as well as for a bit of advice (note: this does not mean asking for a job), you get a chance to introduce yourself and your brand, and make a stronger connection with someone new. While this person may not be hiring when you meet, you are now on his radar and may be the first candidate he calls for his next opening.

4. Step Up to the PodiumIf you like public speaking and have something relevant to share with your peers, whether it be advice, experience or case studies, consider developing a presentation or series of presentations you can pitch to various industry associations, alumni groups and other organizations. Whether they're webinars or in-person events, your presentations will set you apart as a confident thought leader who has true value to share with others, whether it be an audience or an employer. Research organizations and associations to find out the topics and events they are currently offering, so you can then offer something to serve unmet needs or complement their current event programming.

Business Networking To Increase Sales, From Colorado Groups to California Organizations These Can Help!



Business Networking To Increase Sales & Profits 
by Charlie Cook Link

1. For most independent professionals, effective networking should be a driving force, if not the central component of their marketing efforts. It’s not what you know but who you know that gets you in the door. Over time effective networking can generate a steady stream of referrals and help your business grow. Your networking strategy can largely replace cold calling, advertising and other less productive marketing efforts.

 2. Most people lack an understanding of how to network to fuel business growth or further their careers. The result is that most people spend too much unproductive time networking with friends and colleagues and have little to show for their efforts. If you’re an extrovert, meeting lots of people may be your idea of fun. If you’re an introvert, it can be a struggle unless you understand how to network to get more clients. For most people, networking without a clear strategy is like investing by throwing darts at the stock page blindfolded.

 3. The primary objective of networking should be gain an understanding of others’ concerns and problems. Then you can make quick assessments as to whether they would have any interest in the solutions you provide. The objective of networking is not to expound on your credentials. Most people waste the few precious moments they have with new and existing contacts by focusing on themselves. Better is to spend most of that time asking questions and collecting information

4. There are many effective ways to network, some far more productive than the typical personal conversation. Its more useful to: • Have a succinct “elevator speech”, a 30 second description of the problems you solve, is an essential networking tool. • Use questions to identify individuals primary concerns and at least one piece of personal information. • Refer your contacts to people in your network who can solve their problems. The benefit of this approach is twofold. First, you’ll be seen as a problem solver, and second, those people who benefit from your referrals are more likely to provide you with referrals in return. • Provide valuable information on a regular basis for free. A weekly or monthly newsletter is one way to establish your credibility. When this missive provides solutions, it will be shared by people in your network, further lengthening your list of contacts.

5. Most people rely on serendipity for results. It certainly doesn’t hurt to let people you meet know about the types of problems you solve, but if you want to get better results and increase business, target your networking. Identify the people you want to make contact with, whether prospects or potential marketing alliance partners, and make carefully researched efforts to build relationships. This approach takes more time on your part, but it gets results.

6. Your networking efforts will be a waste of time without effective data management. When you meet or contact people, enter the information you learn into your contact management software; make note of their interests, what you’ve shared with them, and when and how to contact them next. 7. People have short memories. Follow-up regularly with members of your network or they’ll forget you exist and more importantly they’ll forget that you are the best person to solve their financial, legal, human resource, design, or other problems. Contact the people in your network in some way at least once a month.

Five Secrets to Free Publicity


By Tom Searcy 
Article Link

(MoneyWatch) Let me let you in on a little secret: Free publicity is the cheapest way to build your brand. But the right publicity -- the kind that can generate leads, build credibility, and increase awareness in the marketplace -- doesn't happen by accident. How can you gain positive national exposure that will lead prospects to your product or service? No public relations expert would ever say there isn't at least some element of chance involved in what stories get picked up and which ones don't. However, there is a way to increase the odds.

The best approach is to take a "water-drip" torture approach. Keep getting your name in front of prospects through publicity. Every droplet of attention makes a difference. After a while, your story will break through the clutter in the same way water eventually wears away a stone. The secret to success is to be sure you're telling a story that's worth printing. The best publicity draws on one of a handful of tried-and-true themes. Newsworthy stories have something that hits you as a reader and that rises above "just the facts." Here are five can't-fail angles that the media loves:

 1. Underdog. Do you have a David versus Goliath story to tell? Everybody loves an underdog: You were small and the odds against you were great, but you took on the big guys and won! If play this card, you might attract more attention than you ever thought you could.
 2. Superman. Do you have "first, fastest, brightest" story to tell? You don't have to be faster than a speeding bullet or more powerful than a locomotive, but it would help. If you've got a truly unique story -- you're the first, or the biggest, or the strongest, or the loudest -- then you have a certifiably newsworthy story.
3. Cinderella. Do you have a rags-to-riches story to tell? Stories about the GWOG (Guy Working Out of Garage) who strikes it rich always command public interest. Late Apple (AAPL) co-founder Steve Jobs may represent the quintessential example of the small entrepreneur rising to greatness, but there are countless other examples.
 4. Dear Abby. Do you have a "free advice" story to tell? You can't beat free counsel for building trust. Brainstorm the best tips you have to offer customers in your industry. That is the basis for an interesting article.
 5. Scientist. Do you a story based on hard facts and figures? You can assert all you want, but numbers make it real. Research -- real, proprietary research carried out by you and featuring your own data -- can be a great way to get attention. Conducting a survey works just fine.

Where Did All of The Sales Jobs Go?

There are more than 45 million people in the U.S. who have jobs in sales. These include not only sales professionals, but business owners, entrepreneurs and those in related occupations whose businesses live and die by getting money to flow toward the opportunities they represent. But where are all these sales jobs? According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the U.S. Department of Labor and private research foundations, here is the breakdown: 

 1. There are 22.6 million self-employed professionals, consultants and business owners who make deals to land clients and contracts. This is a growing segment as the economy has been morphing. If these people don't sell, they don't eat.
 2. Add another 15.4 million sales professionals and related occupations (advertising sales, business development, insurance agents, real estate brokers and agents, sales reps, securities and financial services).
 3. Remember the 5.8 million corporate CEOs -- the chief dealmakers of their organizations. The CEO is the chief sales officer of any organization. (Not that I recommend they be taken on sales calls.)
4. Surprisingly, many forget the 1 million business transaction attorneys who close deals on behalf of clients and for themselves. As the old cliche goes, these are the dealmaker, not the dealbreaker, types of attorneys.
 5. Another group to count are the 565,000 entrepreneurs who create new businesses every month in America, according to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. As management guru Peter Drucker said, the No. 1 job of a business is to create customers. Without customers, there is no business.
 6. In addition, there are tens of thousands of people in the U.S. employed in venture capital firms, investment banks, business brokers and other facets of the mergers and acquisition industry. These are dealmakers who need keen selling skills. No sales equals no money -- but those who know sales know money.

 My best advice for the 45 million people in sales jobs is to learn to sell as a team -- even you lone wolves and solopreneurs out there. There is an advantage to having a group of people brainstorm your ideas and your presentations. Each member of your team sees in an individual way and can therefore pinpoint problems with -- or suggest added benefits to -- your solution. As a result, your sales presentations benefit from having creativity, imagination and energy it might not have otherwise. Of course, at many times these different eyes can be better eyes, seeing angles or hidden aspects in ways that greatly magnify the power of your solution.

More 2012 Sales Tips for Job Opportunities in Denver for Telecom



Career Confidential: Fine-tuning your resume summary
Link


I am an HR person on a job hunt. I have a resume but I don’t love it. The Summary at the top of the resume says “Results-oriented HR professional with a bottom-line orientation, strong work ethic and superior communication skills. Experience in comp, employee relations, performance management, succession planning and HR compliance. Team player with strong attention to detail.”


Your resume Summary is written in the traditional style. The trouble is that the person reading the resume gets no sense of who you are, from what you’ve written. You could be anyone. There’s no life in it, because it’s pure boilerplate.

Laundry lists of skills like the one in your resume are deadly. Without context, the reader doesn’t know whether you’ve dabbled in each skill area you mention, are an expert at it, or once read a magazine article on the subject. We need to find stronger and more specific language to describe you. Also, the ghostly no-person format (“Results-oriented professional with…”) has got to go.

What if you wrote your resume Summary from the heart, speaking directly to the reader? After all, you’re only writing for one reader at a time. What if you began your Summary like this:

“As an RA in college and ever since, I’ve loved untangling thorny people problems and helping groups move past differences to beat their goals. I’m an HR Generalist whose strong suit is removing obstacles for the teams I support — from comp snarls and policy confusion to training gaps — and whose passion is building a culture to attract and hang onto the most talented people in our industry.”

That resume Summary gives us a picture of an HR person who loves — and, we’re beginning to believe, is good at — the people side of HR. Or maybe you’re this very different kind of HR person:

“My focus as a Comp manager is the link between profits and performance; I’m a zealot for smart, intelligible pay plans that reward employees for behaving in ways that help the business grow. I’m fanatical about building comp plans that employees can understand and that motivate people to care about our business and its customers. With a B.A. in Accounting and a passion for logical and numeric accuracy, I’m driven to lead
the Comp function for an organization that views rewards as competitive strategy.”

Selling Information Governance to Business Leaders

Selling Information Governance to Business Leaders
Article Link

Information governance is the formulation of policy to optimize, secure and take advantage of information as an enterprise asset. Practitioners are challenged to explain the value of information governance to business leaders and often find themselves talking more about technologies when they should be talking about business outcomes.

To address these challenges, practitioners can follow these best practices to demonstrate the business value of information governance:

1. Focus on business outcomes
Information governance leaders need to focus on business outcomes. Often, discussing the technical aspects around an information governance plan isn’t enticing enough to sell the program to business leaders.


2. Adopt an industry-oriented approach
As information governance is not a one-size-fits-all approach, every industry has its
own set of key business issues that need to be addressed with information governance
best practices.

3. Develop a business case
A strong business case is critical to obtaining executive sponsorship. It is critical to provide concrete results that can be achieved by implementing an information governance plan in order to show how it affects the business as a whole.

4. Improve consistency of business terms
Every organization has business definitions that need to be standardized. A lack of
standardization can lead to faulty reporting, mismanaged information, or worse.

Americas Airwaves Are Full..What Next?


Sorry Americas, Your Airwaves Are Full
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The U.S. mobile phone industry is running out of the airwaves necessary to provide voice, text and Internet services to its customers.

The problem, known as the "spectrum crunch," threatens to increase the number of dropped calls, slow down data speeds and raise customers' prices. It will also whittle down the nation's number of wireless carriers and create a deeper financial divide between those companies that have capacity and those that don't.

Wireless spectrum -- the invisible infrastructure over which all wireless transmissions travel -- is a finite resource. When, exactly, we'll hit the wall is the subject of intense debate, but almost everyone in the industry agrees that a crunch is coming.

Be a top 10% Sales Managers To Drive Sales Success


Be a top 10% Sales Managers To Drive Sales Success
Posted by Tony Cole


Here is an article posted by Bill Eckstrom from EcSell Institute - an organization dedicated to helping sales managers do more of the right stuff, the right way at the right time. Your sales management job is not an easy one so it comes as no surprise to me that Bill identifies some research indicating that 90% of the sales managers are doing 'stuff' wrong. To put my spin on this - read his article - assess how you are doing - ask yourself; what you need to keep doing, stop doing or start doing and then take action. Enjoy

Your job as a sales manager is to get things done. A study done by academics Heike Bruch and the late Sumantra Ghoshal from London, investigated what they called "decisive purposeful action." Most companies, far from being hives of busy, effective executives, could instead be seen as "a few isolated islands of action amid an ocean of inaction," the researchers found. Does this ring any bells? Here are the highlights from their study.

Read the full article "Study: Most Managers are Ineffective"

Only about 10 percent of the managers took purposeful action." The remainder were busy, just not very effective: 40 percent were energetic but unfocused; 30 percent had low energy, little focus and tended to procrastinate; and 10% were focused, but not very energetic.

Top Ten Communications, Tech, and Media Industry Trends For 2012


2012 Trends in Fiber
Article Link by Arvind Arora

Carriers will be putting a huge emphasis on fiber-based services to deal with mobile networks that are being pushed to their limits, according to M/C Partners, which has released its annual list of the top 10 communications, technology and media industry trends to watch in 2012.

A dramatic increase in cloud services and video consumption are creating serious challenges for carriers, who will be scrambling to address the issue. Many will use fiber to upgrade cell tower backhaul networks to raise network capacity, according to the private equity firm’s list.

M/C Partners compiled the list as part of its ongoing research to understand industry trends and identify investment opportunities in the communications, media, and information technology sectors.

According to M/C Partners, the leading trend in the new year will be carriers’ use of fiber to upgrade cell tower backhaul networks to gigabit connections, a staggering increase from the 1-2 megabits carriers provisioned to cell towers only a few years ago.

“As mobile users expect their phones to operate more like PCs and increase their consumption of social and traditional media, mobile networks are being pushed to their absolute limits,” said James Wade, Managing General Partner, M/C Partners.

“Adoption of cloud services and mobile consumption of video are only in their early stages, but growing very quickly. Networks are struggling to handle it right now. What will happen when demand grows ten-fold, as it likely will? Ubiquitous fiber will be the solution.”

Trends on the M/C Partners’ list include:

1. Fiber to the tower will become the number one priority for network operators struggling to deal with mobile users’ insatiable thirst for broadband.

2. Enterprise adoption of cloud-based services will drive demand for network-based managed services that will provide critical monitoring and management of application and service performance across LANs, MANs, WANs and the public Internet.

3. New technological innovations on the handset and in the network will improve important services like caching, compression and signaling to enhance mobile user experience, battery life and network access.

4. Consumerization of the enterprise will expand as end users move from simply driving iPhone and iPad adoption in the enterprise to pushing IT departments to provide more user-friendly and consumer-style applications for information sharing and management.

5. Micro-transaction business models will expand from social games into MMOGs, console games and other areas such as video, social networks and communications services providing consumer-directed price discrimination across a range of services.

6. HTML 5’s simplification of mobile application development will improve app economics, competition and usage by providing a seamless cross-platform experience and backward compatibility to the PC environment without sacrificing performance.

7. Consumers will realize the value of managed technology services from OEMs, broadband service providers and independent tech support companies to maximize the utility of their networked devices, as the need for better performance and up-time becomes increasingly valuable to consumers.

8. The content rental model will push beyond music and video into print publications with tablets providing an improved consumption medium that content owners will seek to fill with magazines and books.

9. Marketing options for small local businesses will expand beyond daily deals into more powerful tools that provide better yield management and integration with traditional local media and direct marketing for improved customer acquisition and lifetime value of customers.

10. Cable operators will answer over-the-top threats with apps and more subscription package variety to gain the upper hand in alternative video viewing options for consumers while still preserving the critical distribution and billing relationship.

M/C Partners is a private equity firm focused exclusively on the communications, media, and information technology sectors. The firm has invested over $1.5 billion into nearly 100 companies in those sectors. Companies M/C has backed include Cavalier Telephone, Corelink, Fusepoint, GTS Central Europe, ICG Communications, Legendary Pictures, Lightower, MetroPCS, NuVox, Open Mobile, Public Mobile, Seven Networks and Zayo Group.
