How I Develop Successful Sales Teams

Uncategorized
  "Why can she go golfing in the middle of the work day?" was a common complaint during the summer months. My sales manager's response to those who complained about my extra perks was very motivational. He always responded, "Because she made her sales for the month, if you make your sales for the month early you also can leave early". From that manager, I learned what positive motivation and incentives could achieve with a professional sales force. Management supported his efforts because his team always made their sales quotas early and they were motivated each month to achieve success. The Sales Management Model "The worker is not the problem. The problem is at the top! Management!" is a well know saying of Dr. Edward Deming the founder of Japanese…

Mp3 Players Just Keep Getting Stranger: A Look at the X-Mini Happy Speaker

Uncategorized
  This assignment recently came across my desk, and my head perked up all of a sudden. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan of music. I can't get enough of it. I probably spend a good 8 hours a day with a set of headphones on my head (which will be a review for another time...I'm planning on ordering a particular brand of headset, and I'll give you the inside scoop when they arrive). Music transforms me. I own thousands of mp3 files (all purchased / obtained legally, thank you - support your local artist), and music is capable of evoking the most amazing range of emotions inside me. So when I saw the chance to review an mp3 player, I jumped at the chance.…

Zoloft Side Effects I Have Experienced

Uncategorized
  Zoloft is a miracle drug to some, offering an escape from anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, depressive disorder, and panic disorder. I have personally been taking Zoloft for ten years. A little longer than the time I have been using my skin care product I bought with the help of vitamin c serum for face reviews. I am very happy with Zoloft, but Zoloft does have side effects. It is really up to you to determine if these side effects outweigh the benefits of taking Zoloft. One side effect that I have suffered from since I have been on Zoloft is excessive sweating. I know this is not something that you want to hear, but Zoloft does make you sweat more then you normally do. This is easily countered by dressing…

Web Standards, Semantic Markup and Cross-Browser Compatibility

Uncategorized
I have been in the web design field for over eight years of my life now, and only recently has the importance of web semantics presented itself to me. If you have ever cruised around the blogosphere, or the teen blogging realm of the internet, you may have seen things like "Valid XHTML" and/or "Valid CSS". These terms are applied when a web developer takes accessability and following web standards into consideration. At the forefront of validation and web semantics is w3.org, or the World Wide Web Consortium. This website recommends using valid, semantic markup to ensure cross-browser compatibility, as well as the accessibility factor of websites. W3C does not, however, create these rules and standards. That is the job of ISO, the International Organization for Standardization. Let's say that…
