Digg it UP - A Tickler File for Sales and Networking
I am a trucker's wife. But I'm also a trucker. As such, I am in a unique position to know what it's like to be married to a truck driver AND what it's like to BE a truck driver.A trucker's wife may want to be a help to her husband when he's on the road and also be a blessing to him when he is home.

If you have been doing project management for a while, your confidence has probably gotten an occasional shaking. And the resulting lack of confidence hurts you, but it also hurts your team members who need you to be confident and not self-conscious. You’re their leader after all, and they want you to have a strong plan, vision, self-esteem and the confidence to lead.Obsessing over our personal and organizational shortcomings traps us. We may think it is for our own good – to help us truly learn from our past mistakes. But it can spiral downward into embarrassment and shame. And if

A pen is much more than a writing instrument. Even an individual who relies on a computer to do most of his writing work, needs a pen for simple everyday situations, such as signing a check or autograph. Few are the people who leave the house without a pen tucked in the pocket or in their schoolbag, handbag or briefcase. The pen is an almost indispensable and universal tool.Smart businessmen have realized that giving away pens as a promotional tool is an economical and effective way to build brand awareness. A pen engraved with a company logo creates instant recall, and it can safe

RFID labels, I hear the term but what does it mean and should I be thinking of using it for my business? RFID is a radio frequency identification . Every product is identified somehow. A sign, a label, a barcode label and an RFID label are all different ways to identify product. Which one should I chose? If I own a lemonade stand chances are I'll make a sign to describe what's in the pitcher. If I manufacture gum, chances are that my label will have words to tell the consumer what it is, and a bar code for the cash register scanner to identify the product and price. RFID uses radio freque

All of your cards should now be in the file box and the first thing you should see is the January tab.
Next, you should start creating cards for your leads. In the beginning, this is going to take some time (assuming you have a lot of leads). You might choose to use one color card for prospects, one color for customers, another for personal contacts, etc. If you are not going to organize your contacts by color, you will only need white cards. Nonetheless, you can either copy your contacts information onto the cards or simply staple their business card to one of the index cards.
The system works like this.
Let's imagine it is January 1st. and you attend a networking event where you meet a potential client. You get this lead's business card at the event and you want to contact him/her on the 2nd., so when you get to your office, you staple the leads business card to a white index card and drop it behind the "2" tab and then go home for the day.
