Sales: Five Basic Elements of a Sales Relationship
Home Life: Remind Me Again Why I Do This?
Web: How to Win Google Over

Greetings...
from my home office to yours!

Want to know when your company name is
mentioned on the Web?  Here's a cool way to
have your own free clipping service.  Sign up
for this free service:  
www.Google.com/alerts.  
For example,  I get daily alerts as to when "Home Office Weekly" (or any other of my
online publications) is mentioned on the Web (or you can specify where you want
the spiders to look such as in just "news" or a "blog").  I also have an alert for "home
business trends" to see what's going on in the world of home business. You can even
have an alert for your name...just to see who's writing about you :) !

Five Basic Elements of a Sales Relationship
I've seen it over and over - small business owners who get nervous and
uncomfortable when it's time to assume the role of salesperson. Sales are the
backbone of your company's health and most entrepreneurs are not trained sales
professionals. In fact, most business owners are reluctant, resistant sales people,
worried about being perceived as pushy, or worse yet, sleazy and as a result, they
don't get out and sell.

Remind Me Again Why I Work from Home?
I recently embarked on a large programming project that became the most
frustrating, stressful thing I’ve done since I’ve been in business. I won’t bore you
with the details, but suffice it to say that everything that
could go wrong, did go
wrong.

Turn a One-Night-Stand with Google into a Long-Term Relationship
Google is like a girlfriend who won't talk. You're dying to woo her, but when you
ask her what she likes, she bats her eyelashes and keeps quiet. Now of course,
Google isn't going to talk anytime soon about what goes into (and comes out of) its
notorious algorithm --- its proprietary secret formula for calculating which pages
will get listed when someone types in a search phrase. Ah, but we SEO specialists
and experts have our ways of figuring out what that seemingly fickle gal named
Google likes and what she could care less about.

Parting Thought

"Business is a game. The minute you think of it any differently it ceases to be fun
and immediately begins to control your life and ultimately drives you crazy with
wild obsessions & eventually ruins your family life. Keep things in perspective.
First family, second friends, and third your business. Practice this and you'll be
much happier for it. And your business will be much happier as well."
-- Josh S. Hinds
