Thank You in E-mails
August 30th, 2007 |The previous post discussed the value of saying, “Thank you.” But it’s possible to overdo it especially when it comes to e-mail. “Here’s your weekly report.” “Thank you,” said the reply.

Thank You: Two Magic Words
August 29th, 2007 |Children enjoy receiving recognition — whether it be at school, in a sport, in a hobby or a comment from Mom and Dad about something positive they did.

Moving beyond Bullets in PowerPoint
August 27th, 2007 |Beyond Bullet Points is an excellent book that shows you how to create effective presentations with PowerPoint. The software isn’t the reason presentations have turned dull and unfocused — but the abuse of using the templates.

Basic Product Information
August 23rd, 2007 |Marcia Yudkin’s Marketing Minute newsletter references Jakob Nielsen’s research that says shoppers leave 10 percent of the time because the site didn’t provide enough information.
