2014 Aug | Volume 9, Issue 7: Want To Increase Your Sales Effortlessly? |  | |
What is the easiest way to increase your sales and profits? Simple. Sell more to those who already know, like and trust you. I’d expect they are already likely to buy from you again and due to their confidence in your products and more importantly, service, your margins will be higher. But here’s the kicker, as they are already with you, there are little or no marketing costs, allowing you an even stronger bottom line which you could reinvest back into training, customer loyalty or expand products and services.

2014 Jul | Volume 9, Issue 6: Strategies for Growth | | |
The Boston Consulting Group recently studied the performance of 1,600 global companies with revenues over $1 billion. These were mature businesses that found ways to grow sustainably. They discovered only 310 companies, 1 in 5, broke away from stagnant growth and grew at twice the rate of their peers, growing sustainably for at least 5 years. Let’s look at the lessons learned from these companies. Category : Learning Library - 60 Seconds with Achievers Group - Peter Irvine | |||
2014 Jul | Volume 9, Issue 6: It’s been one of those days... | | |
Its been one of those days. Nothing has gone right, clients are complaining, people you rely on are making errors or forgetting tasks that they were quite capable of yesterday. A big new client may suddenly be going sour or your latest transformation effort causing additional issues rather than solving them. Regardless of how organised, competent or efficient you are, from time to time you will experience one of those days.

2014 Jul | Volume 9, Issue 6: Why outsourcing chat support on your website is a bad idea | | |
There are now several online services available to small business to install chat directly on your website, so when a user visits your site, they can directly engage with a person to make an enquiry or ask a question. Typically the user clicks on a chat button, which launches the chat window. In principle, this sounds like a great idea, as the user can quickly connect with someone 24/7. In fact, live chat can increase your enquiry rates if done properly. Category : Learning Library - 60 Seconds with Achievers Group - Nick Jerrat | |||
2014 Jul | Volume 9, Issue 6: Are You Getting The Most Out Of Your Team? | | |
Research has found that as much as 60% of the work done in the average business is spent doing: the right thing wrong, the wrong thing right, correcting the wrong thing to make it right or supervising staff to make sure they are doing the right thing, the right way, at the right time. Is this the case for your business? Category : Learning Library - 60 Seconds with Achievers Group - Yale Morgan | |||
2014 Jun | Volume 9, Issue 5: Build Your Team | | |
Hire the right people, not necessarily the people you can afford. When interviewing for new staff, ask questions such as: What excites you in life? How do you view work? If pay wasn’t an issue, what kind of job would you choose? What activities are you involved in outside work? What are your dreams for the future? Present your organisation’s vision, mission and values then ask: What is your impression of these? Look for passion, commitment and enthusiasm.

2014 Jun | Volume 9, Issue 5: Take the First Step... to Get Your Life Back! | | |
One of the most common mistakes made in business is so simple it’s no wonder that nearly every small to medium size business makes it. A lot of businesses have been designed to take from people. The business takes your time, life, money and in a lot of cases, the business takes the joy out of living. If this is not your business then you are blessed and you need to make sure you focus on developing your business further and take advantage of the opportunities available to you.

Since January 2014, ICAAN has been in the process of releasing new domain extensions. Over 250 new extensions have already been delegated, with potentially thousands more in the coming years. Prior to the release, we were limited to the common extensions at the end of a web address, like .com, .org and .net. It is important to secure your branding domain extensions, such that competitors are not able to use these domains in the same or other markets from your own.

2014 Jun | Volume 9, Issue 5: How We Do Anything Is How We Do Everything | | |
Previously, we’ve talked about who motivates you, the business leader? We discussed having a coach that is unbiased towards your business and keeps you accountable, as well as motivated. In turn providing you the means to motivate and keep your team accountable. Let’s ask ourselves this question or perhaps an observation or statement: “How we do anything is how we do everything.” Category : Learning Library - 60 Seconds with Achievers Group - Yale Morgan | |||
2014 May | Volume 9, Issue 4: Leaders See Ahead | | |
How far can you see? The problems of leadership are not new. Nehemiah, a prophet in the Old Testament, could see a problem: the need to rebuild the defensive wall around Jerusalem. He could even see the solution. In fact, he saw both the problem and the solution without ever visiting Jerusalem itself. That’s why he received approval from the king to rebuild the wall.
