    Tips for a manager that was promoted from within?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2018 01:15 AM PST

    So let me preface by saying that I understand that in a perfect world, only the absolute perfect of employees would ever get promoted from within, and the rest of this post should be a non-issue.

    I want to be a little bit vague about this so I can maybe get some more general answers.

    I was promoted from within some time ago. So I'm managing the people that are doing the job I used to do with them. I was always a sort of leader within that sphere, but I'd be dishonest if I said that I didn't lean on the rules a bit, just as everyone else did, and just as the management team allowed before I'd been promoted.

    Now, my boss is making a special point of tightening up on company policy. I think since that I've been bumped up I've secured a certain degree of respect from the people I'm managing that used to be my peers. In many ways, I feel they still are my peers, and it's more that my responsibilities have shifted, as opposed to myself suddenly becoming their babysitter.

    Just recently, I've gotten a little bit of push back on my trying to enforce rules that I was guilty of bending before I'd been promoted. I must admit that I feel pretty hypocritical enforcing some of these policies that I, while being an overall exemplary employee, sort of bent.

    I know there are some managers out there that treat a promotion as though they were coming into a completely new company. "Yes, I broke those rules, but I'm responsible for you now, and it's not your place to concern yourself with my track record" is the attitude some of my (now) colleagues give off. I find that these managers tend to get what they want out of the staff when they're physically present, but when they're not, the staff completely writes them off.

    These policies need to be enforced, and I was guilty of breaking some of them before I was promoted. I want to continue to be respected, but I don't want to be thought of as a hypocrite. I want to be a mentor, not a tyrant. How do I proceed with this?

    How to get potential clients you've never met to like you - 3 tips

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 07:28 PM PST

    In the world of technology it is extremely important to differentiate yourself and your product - in whatever market you are selling in. Nowadays, we purchase cars online, clothes online, make agreements online, and even allow people of which we've never met, to come to our house and give us estimates! Needless to say, we've become comfortable with the "unknown".

    Although we've become comfortable with what we can't see, we, as consumers, have also become well-versed in the way the game is played - and we look for specific indicators, that we can see, to help us make a buying decision before the product is even offered.

    Here are some tips to help you win your client over before you meet them:

    Do what you say you're going to do, when you say you're going to do it

    Your punctuality is crucial to your success in any business-related interaction, however, for prospective clients who have never met you, this could make or break you from the get-go.

    Calling your prospective client when you say you're going to call, emailing them exactly when you say you're going to email them, and staying on top of promised follow-ups are key when trying to win your potential client's trust.

    Although you may have a thousand different things going on, your clients, more often than not, don't. In other words, unless in a b2b scenario, you are selling to the average consumer, who, in most cases, doesn't have follow-ups, agendas, meetings, and call-backs to remember.

    BYOB Insight: Their schedule could be filled with your promise, and your promise only. In some cases, if you are dealing with an older client, they will have your promise on their agenda marked in permanent ink. Mess this up, and you have a slim chance of earning their business. They may not remember much, but they sure remember when someone didn't follow through with their promise - especially someone trying to sell something!

    Your grammar is everything… take your time!

    Look, I don't claim to be the most grammatically correct person out there. Actually, as I'm writing this I even misspelled the word "grammatically"! My computer fixed it for me (autocorrect). With all the resources available nowadays, having proper grammar when writing an initial email, follow-up, or sending a proposal should be as easy as pie, and a total no-brainer.

    Consumers nowadays are flooded with top-of-the-line marketing, products, and services. They are on the prowl for typos and inconsistencies, and can be the easiest "turn-off" switch. Your grammar says a lot about the nature of your business, and the amount of care you have toward your professional interactions.

    BYOB Insight: How many times have you been to a restaurant and pointed out the one typo on the entire menu! I know I have, plenty of times. I get it, not everyone's perfect, and I'm not asking you to be. Just take a little time to read through your message, make sure, if anything, that everything is spelled correctly, and that things that need to be capitalized are capitalized! Don't let something like this be the difference maker for your business. Let's avoid silly mistakes!

    When Cold Calling - State the obvious, don't be a robot

    Ok, this one is my favorite topic. I own a painting business, and I get flooded with cold-calls literally everyday. I think my block list is near capacity. However, one particular interaction actually earned my business - because of the approach. Typically, the conversation starts with:

    "Hello, are you the owner of the business?" That warrants a hangup in 3 seconds from me.

    The approach that won me over went something like this: "Hi, Tanner?"

    Wow, so personable: "Yes?" I responded.

    "First, I would like to apologize for interrupting your day, I know you are probably working on your business."

    Finally, someone actually has the decency to acknowledge this!: Not a problem, how can I help you?"

    I still have no clue who this is or why this person is calling me, and they've managed to keep me on the phone now for 30 seconds!

    They then went on to tell me about their good/service and after doing a little research I actually bought-in to what they were offering (and I NEVER do that).

    BYOB Insight: It's not about what you are selling, because chances are if you have the courage to cold-call you must believe in it to some capacity - it's all about the approach. State their name, recognize the obvious, don't be a robot. Be a human!

    I hope you enjoyed some of these insights! Happy selling.

    Inventors are rarely successful. That's a failure of the business world.

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 07:09 PM PST

    After having come up with a hundred or more great inventions, accounting for $0 profit, I've come to realize how spectactularly the business world has failed at supporting small time inventors and what an opportunity being missed actually looks like. it's so obvious that I can't grasp what's happening. All of the great, original ideas start with regular people with no ties to big business and, even though there are huge profits to be made, it's nearly impossible for a science, thinker type like me to make money from his ideas regardless of how valuable they might be.

    I don't know anything about hiring patent attorneys, market research, industry connections, overseas manufacturing, or any of the other roadblocks between amazing idea and getting paid but there are thousands of people who know everything about that. There are almost no people who know about both disciplines. Why has no one set up an honest office that eliminates all of the legal and business hurdles for inventors?

    TL;DR Inventors should be supported by business so everyone can make money because that doesn't currently exist.
