Your Recipe for Brand Success, Part II
We all know, some of us too well, what can happen when we do not set boundaries in our personal lives; does the term “door mat” ring any bells?I know that sounds harsh but I’d be lying if I didn’t say there was a time when I did not set proper boundaries in my personal relationships and it felt as though others were wiping their dirty boots with me and not loosing a wink of sleep over it! Can you relate?Failing to set solid boundaries in business, particularly as solo pros and small business leaders, can not only affect you personally but it also spills over into the perception ot

What Is A Good Bookkeeper Worth?
I am often asked what is a reasonable fee to charge my clients. And on the opposite side of the coin – what should I expect to pay for a bookkeeper? A bookkeeper who is honest, trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable is worth their weight in gold. You might find a good honest hard working person, but if they don’t have the knowledge and experience that you need then you only have part of the solution you are looking for.For bookkeepers check with your local CPA’s for a reality check of your worth. They often have a good idea of what the market will bear for your area. Consider your experi

Pharmaceutical sales interview questions are typically situational (behavioral) in nature. These techniques are based on the premise that past behavior is a great indicator of future behavior. Therefore, all behavioral interview questions ask you to provide examples of real life occurrences that illustrate a particular skill or ability, as in organization, teamwork, persuasion, sales ability, tenaciousness, etc.
These questions usually begin with any of the following:
Tell me about a time when...
Give me an example where...
Describe a situation where...
This is your alert to answer the question by providing a real life example.
However, there's more to it than just telling your story...it needs to be logical, concise, and clearly illustrate that you posses the skill/ability in question. Enter...the STAR format! What's that, you ask? Well my friend, it's a format you can use to help answer the question in a logical, sequential, understandable manner!
The basic components of the STAR format:
Situation: What was the situation you found yourself in? Provide necessary background information.
Task: What was the specific task you had to achieve? What was the goal?
Action: What action did you take? How did you create the solution and what did you do?
Result: What was the result of your action? What happened?

Allentown Business School
I got into Allentown, PA the other day at about two in the afternoon. It wasn't too bad of a drive from Vermont where I was from. Oh sure it took a long time, but it was pretty scenic and relaxing for the most part. I was arriving at the Allentown business school with my best friend Joe, just in time to have a good weekend to explore before classes started on Monday. I would have liked to get into Allentown a little bit earlier in the month. It would've been nice to have some time to explore the business MBA school before starting, and to get to know the town of Allentown, Pennsylvania litt

Candidate's Response:
Situation: "As a franchise owner and operator, I was constantly looking for new ways in which to grow my business. By my 2nd year in business, my referral system was kicking in nicely, but I really wanted to double the year's previous earnings.
Task: I knew in order to double company earnings, I'd have to contract with commercial businesses - where the "big money" can be made. Living in a college town, I knew it would be wise to focus on the larger real estate companies in town - specifically those that managed many large apartment complexes.
Action: I utilized industry contacts and scheduled an appointment with the largest realty company in town, which also owned the most apartment complexes. After assessing their needs and goals, I constructed a business plan and negotiated a win-win situation for all of us. I agreed to take on many of the administrative tasks of yearly move-outs; they were thrilled at my offer. I then explained the features and benefits of our extensive cleaning services that related to their current needs. The end-result of my negotiation? We now had a yearly contract - which meant a stable income, plus they agreed to pay $5/more per hour than they originally quoted.
Result: As a result of that one commercial account, my business
