			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Continuous Improvement as a TQM Principle</h3>
<div id="attachment_175" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 289px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-175" title="Work Smart" src="http://www.toddmacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/work-smart-279x300.jpg" alt="Work Smart" width="279" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Work Smart</p></div>
<p>Continuous improvement is the third principle of TQM. You can never be satisfied with the method used, because improvements are continuous. Certainly, the competition is improving, so it is very necessary to strive to keep ahead of the game.</p>
<p>Working smarter, not harder</p>
<p>Some companies have tried to improve by making employees work harder. This may be counter-productive, especially if the process itself is flawed. For example, trying to increase worker output on a defective machine may result in more defective parts.<span id="more-169"></span></p>
<p>Looking at the source of problems and delays and then improving them is what is needed. Often the process has bottlenecks that are the real cause of the problem. These must be eliminated.</p>
<p>Worker suggestions</p>
<p>Workers are often a source of continuous improvements. They can provide suggestions on how to improve a process and eliminate waste or unnecessary work.</p>
<p>Quality methods</p>
<p>There are also a lot of quality methods, such as just-in-time production, variability reduction, and poka-yoke that can improve processes and reduce waste.</p>
<p>Understanding ISO 14001</p>
<p>ISO 14001 will be required by all companies.</p>
<p>As with ISO 9000, conformance to ISO 14001 may become a condition of doing business in some countries, regions or markets. This process has already begun in some industrial sectors, such as the automotive and electronics markets. However, there are still a tremendous number of companies doing business today that do not conform to ISO 9000, even though that standard is now 13 years old. Thus it is too early to predict how widely ISO 14001 will be required in the future.</p>
<p>Implementing ISO 14001 means being registered.</p>
<p>Many suppliers choose to demonstrate conformance to ISO 14001 by means of third-party certification. Some customers may require this. However, the standard itself considers a company&#8217;s self-declaration of conformance as an acceptable alternative. Further, some companies simply use the ISO 14001 model for internal purposes as a means to enhance their environmental performance.</p>
<p>ISO 14001 is just paperwork and won&#8217;t help my company at all.</p>
<p>The environmental management standard of ISO 14001 is like many things in life - you get out of it what you put into it. The way a company implements the standard determines the benefits it receives. Many companies that have implemented ISO 14001 report different benefits, including improved environmental performance, greater operating efficiency, cost reduction, improved employee awareness and enhanced public image, among others.</p>
<p>Application of OHSAS 18001</p>
<p>The OHSAS specification is applicable to any organisation that wants to:</p>
<p>• Establish an Occupational Health and Safety management system to minimise risk to employees          and other interested parties who may be exposed to Occupational Health and Safety risks associated with its activities;<br />
• Implement, maintain and continually improve an Occupational Health and Safety management system;<br />
• Assure itself of its conformance with its stated Occupational Health and Safety policy;<br />
• Demonstrate such conformance to others;<br />
• Seek certification/registration of its occupational health and safety management system by an external organisation; and<br />
• Make a self-determination and declaration of conformance with this OHSAS specification.</p>

<p>Whether it is flying for business or for pleasure, overseas travels can be extremely tiresome. Most frequent fliers would rather be home than sit on an airplane on hours end. Without entertainment, boredom will creep in on you while aboard an airplane. That is why there are several things you need to do in order to survive long overseas flights. From packing the necessary things to arriving at the destination, surviving your overseas trip can be very easy once you follow these simple guidelines.</p>
<p>Packing Your Things</p>
<p>Don’t forget to pack whatever you need. All the things you need to carry with you should be placed on your carry-on bag. This can be your <a href="http://www.executivegiftshoppe.com/taxiwallets.html" target="_blank">travel wallet</a>, passport, airline ticket, and one of your <a href="http://www.executivegiftshoppe.com/woticl.html" target="_blank">world time clocks</a>, if you have any, to remind you to set the time of your watch properly once your arrive at your destination. Also, don’t forget to bring something to help you kill time like a book or an mp3 player.<span id="more-161"></span></p>
<p>If you are traveling for business, don’t pack too many things; even something as small as an attache case will be enough for an overnight trip. However, if you plan to stay a little bit longer, like a day or two, be sure to prepare a change of clothes.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you are traveling for pleasure, make sure that you limit your baggage to two suitcases. You don’t need to bring your entire wardrobe. As much as possible bring only the things that you need. Besides, you can always buy souvenir t-shirts at your destination area to make the vacation more exciting.</p>
<p>Going to the Airport</p>
<p>On the day of your trip, be sure to arrive to the airport at least 2 hours before your departure. You don’t want to be last on that check-in and security lines. Make sure that all your travel documents like your passport and airline ticket, are in hand. More importantly, double check the contents of your carry-on bag to make sure that you are not carrying anything prohibited by the airport.</p>
<p>To save more money, take advantage of tax-free goodies at duty free shops. Before you leave, buy anything that you want at the shop but make sure that you are within bounds of your destination area’s protocols especially when it comes to alcohol.</p>
<p>During the Flight</p>
<p>The best thing to do when on a long-hour flight is to sleep and relax. This can help decrease the jet lag later. Remember to not to drinking alcohol during the flight to avoid accidents and drink plenty of water. It is easy to be dehydrated especially on long flights, so make sure you have enough water with you or ask the attendants for some.</p>
<p>If you brought a book with you, read that to help you kill time or you can watch the in-flight movie for entertainment. If you do plan to sleep during the trip, set your <a href="http://www.executivegiftshoppe.com/travelalarmclocks.html" target="_blank">travel alarm clocks</a> at the right time to wake you before your arrival.</p>
<p>Upon Arrival</p>
<p>Make sure you go out of the plane as quickly as possible. You would have to go to Immigrations so better be first than last. If you are not too sure where to go, there are helpful signs along the way than can help you. Ready your passport and always keep a copy of your boarding pass.</p>
<p>Lastly, if you haven’t changed or withdrawn money prior to your flight, there are several ATM and money-changing machines at airports. After making sure you have all your belongings with you, head out and smell the fresh air. Bon voyage!</p>

<p>If you have a hobby that you think could be turned into a full-time business venture, you should consider making the transition. Working from home doing something you enjoy is one of the greatest feelings you can have. Because we all need to earn a living, finding a job that we can be passionate about in addition to earning a steady income is a dream for most. But if you research your idea, create a business plan, and work within your means, this dream can come true.</p>
<p>When most people think about starting their own business, they usually come up with a million reasons why the business would fail. They may not even have an idea about what they want to sell or provide. If you already have an idea, you are ahead of most people. The next step is research to determine if there is a market for your product and if you will be able to sell it quickly and easily. Most research can be conducted at home on your computer. While you may need to visit the library, retail stores, and other outlets, you can rely on your computer to give you a lot of useful information.<span id="more-149"></span></p>
<p>Finding a market for your product may be difficult depending on what it is. But you may also find many avenues including opening your own store, selling your product at trade shows, flea markets, or online, or you may find others who are looking for products like yours and who may want to go into business with you. There are many possibilities. If you are interested in selling your product online, you can create a website or sell your product on online auction sites. The Internet has created many opportunities for those who want to sell a product, but who don’t want to pay for retail space each month.</p>
<p>Creating a business plan is essential especially when you have a certain budget or you aren’t sure how successful your business will be. A business plan is one or two pages that include your budget, your accomplishments, and any other considerations you may need to make before creating and selling your product. You can change this plan at any time if it becomes impractical or if you exceed expectations.</p>
<p>Since most people have to create a budget when starting their own businesses, being realistic about the cost of materials, shipping, and advertising and marketing is important. If you don’t estimate enough, then you may fall short, so be sure to create a budget that fits your needs. As your business grows, you can adjust your budget and start generating a profit. This is when your will see the results of all your hard work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Competitive Selling Skills for Sales Management Training. Helpful  Information to  Bear in Mind</strong></span></h2>
<div id="attachment_156" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-156" title="Competitive Selling" src="http://www.toddmacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sun-tzu-300x240.gif" alt="Competitive Selling" width="300" height="240" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Competitive Selling</p></div>
<p>Is your industry becoming more competitive? Are your prospects taking a closer look at what your competitors have to offer? Selling in today&#8217;s marketplace reminds me of that old line from ABC&#8217;s Wide World of Sports: &#8220;The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.&#8221;</p>
<p>For the salesperson and the sales manager in the arena, it&#8217;s winner take all. There are no rewards for second place.</p>
<p>This trend of intensifying competition makes selling, and <a href="http://www.toplineleadership.com/" target="_blank">sales management training</a> more interesting &#8212; but also much more difficult than it once was. If you want to stop losing sales to competition and make more money &#8212; and we all do &#8212; then you&#8217;ve got to sharpen your competitive selling skills.</p>
<p>Here are four of the most common reasons why competitive sales opportunities are lost &#8212; and specifically what you can do to win more often. These are the mistakes to avoid if you want to give your competitors fits.</p>
<p>1) Your competitor understands the prospect&#8217;s needs better than you do.</p>
<p>Sun Tzu wrote his classic book, The Art of War, 2,500 years ago. In it he said, &#8220;If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself, but not the enemy, for every victory gained, you&#8217;ll also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will lose every battle.&#8221;<span id="more-148"></span></p>
<p>Between you and me, Sun Tzu had it easy! In 500 B.C., all he had to do was learn about himself and his enemy. Today, it&#8217;s not enough to know about yourself and the competition. You also have to know about the customers&#8217; needs. When you know the specific ways in which you&#8217;re different from your competition - AND you know your customers&#8217; needs - you&#8217;ll know which differences are going to be the most important to your customer. And that knowledge is what will put your name on the scoreboard.</p>
<p>One simple strategy for understanding your customers&#8217; needs better than your competition is to resist the natural temptation to talk about yourself, and instead, keep the conversation focused on your customer&#8217;s needs. If your customer asks you about your product or service - as they often do - answer their question, then redirect the conversation back to your customer&#8217;s needs. A good rule of thumb is to identify at least eight customer buying criteria before you start talking about your product or service.</p>
<p>2) Can&#8217;t reach the key decision-maker.</p>
<p>All decision-makers are not created equal. In every buying decision there exists a &#8220;Power Broker,&#8221; one person who wields more power and influence than anyone else. When the Power Broker talks, others listen. Think of an important prospect you are calling on now. If he or she is not the key decision-maker, who is? The first salesperson to identify and win over the Power Broker almost always wins the sale.</p>
<p>To identify the Power Broker, ask your contact questions such as, &#8220;How will your organization make the decision on this? Who else will you need to talk to? Whose budget is at stake here? Who&#8217;s going to be the key decision-maker on this? Power Brokers derive their power because they have credibility with superiors, perhaps as a recognized expert. They tend to be strong-willed individuals who are goal-oriented and possess good communication skills. The Power Broker is an effective internal salesperson who you want championing your cause.<br />
3) The salesperson overlooks seemingly minor differences between his/her solution and the competition.</p>
<p>A friend of mine sells voice recording systems for emergency 911 centers. One &#8220;minor&#8221; difference between his system and those of competitors is that his system has been approved by Underwriters Laboratories. For years, my friend and his fellow salespeople made nothing of this differentiator.</p>
<p>Then one diligent salesperson was carefully studying her prospect&#8217;s cost components, and discovered that installation of a product that was U. L. approved would qualify a 911 center for a significant reduction in insurance premiums. This translated into a huge cost savings for the customer - and a nice commission for the salesperson.</p>
<p>The point is - don&#8217;t overlook anything! Differences that may seem minor to you could be of significant importance to your customer.<br />
4) No game plan to beat the competition.</p>
<p>The one common thread weaving through all of these reasons for losing sales this: We don&#8217;t slow down and think. For years, salespeople have been told that the key to selling is to think fast on your feet and to make lots of calls. This bias for quick thinking and a high activity level is exactly the opposite of what it takes to win competitive sales. The best sales people and sales managers have all attended a <a href="http://www.toplineleadership.com/sales_management_training/open_enrollment_seminar" target="_blank">2-day sales seminar</a> to gain these valuable skills.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not suggesting you make fewer sales calls. What I am saying is that you need to put more thought into each call you make. Think like a coach thinks, and make a game plan to win.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s your understanding of your prospect&#8217;s buying criteria? Which of those criteria represent a competitive edge for you? Which represent a competitive disadvantage? Who is positioned most favorably at this time - you or your competition? How can you influence the customer&#8217;s buying criteria - or modify your offering, in such as way as to create a better match between what you have and what your customer needs? Your effectiveness in competitive selling situations will be largely determined by the questions you ask yourself before each sales call.</p>
<p>In sports, when two teams are evenly matched, the winner will be the team that executes its plays the best - the team that makes the fewest mistakes. To win more competitive sales opportunities, you must do the same.</p>
