    Expectceed - The New Frontier In Customer Service
    The next time you visit your favorite store, take a moment to think about why you are going there. If you are like many, it is probably because of the way you are treated.

    I’m the Queen of the Focus message in the Work at Home Mom Community. I believe it’s important to have a tight focus when you’re developing or growing a home business that will pass the test of time and bring in a reliable income.

    This is especially true when it comes to a Direct Sales business. If you’ve opted to join a Direct Sales company such as Mary Kay, Pampered Chef or Lia Sophia you will experience the highest level of success if you keep all of your business attentions on that one company.

    There is a temptation for some Direct Sellers to branch off into a ‘complimentary’ business. They may think that a gourmet food company would be a perfect addition to a Pampered Chef business, and at first glance it might seem to be so – but it really isn’t.

    The beauty of Direct Sales is that it’s a ready made business. The company has done all the hard work for you when it comes to a sales plan, promotional materials, etc. Marketing experts have designed a system that has been proven to work if you just work it – so anything you do to muddy up the message is going to reduce your effectiveness.

    One of the most interesting examples of diversification that I’ve seen is being demonstrated by a single mother in my town. Tishia Lee just left what will hopefully be the last of several low paying dead end jobs to launch her own home based business, ‘Tishia Saves Time’ http://www.tishiasavestime.com).

    The Difference Between Mergers and Acquisitions
    The terms merger and acquisition are frequently used as if they are synonyms, but have different implications.
