Re: Help determining sales numbers and salesperson compensation
Thanks again, robert, for your detailed reply 1) Good question - and one that I don`t know precisely how to answer. I chose $2500/mth because I felt that a a salesperson of modest experience would be comfortable with that figure as a base. I`m sort of struggling with what the figure *should* be to attract a quality… -
Re: My Professional Photography Website Needs You!
The site is fairly well laid out, but it does have a few problems. Your navigation bar. When I go to a page, the nav bar segment for that page disappears.

Re: I have decided to sell my patented product ...but how?
Telecruiser, Don`t let frustration set in and do not rush to the nearest buyer of your I.P. I`ve looked at your product. I like it. It definitely needs targeted exposure among other things. You already know that people who use it are pleased and appreciate it. That is the most important step..a solid, respected product.… -
Re: How can entrepreneurs best communicate emotion?
For entrepreneurs, knowing how to communicate clearly and effectively is critical in leading a company -- and selling your business ideas. But the words you speak and hear are only a small part of getting your message across to your employees, customers and investors. It is the way you speak and listen that makes all the… -
Re: Where in the world do I start??
My three cents. Keep it simple - you`re on the right track. Almost ALL business models are built for and by big business, and then small business adopts them because they think it`s the only way, and we get buried in trying to mimic what we think is good business practices (for a Fortune 5000 company).
