Networking is one of the most important aspects of being a successful business person, if not the most important. Simply put, your service or product is not going to promote itself. Your own credibility will not just magically grow. Get out there and meet people, shake those hands, kiss those babies, being shy will not help your cause. The best example I could give right now is that of attending a function or party. Now, some detractors may say that there is no point to go to these events and maybe get a chance to talk to only a few different people, maybe hand out a couple of business cards only to never hear back from anyone. I would be lying if I was to say that this does not happen, but it does...

If you're in business then now and again you will send a mail shot (direct mail) to your customers whether it be in the form of a flyer, brochure, or sales letter. Turning browsers into buyers is not easy and as you know, most direct mail ends up in the bin without a glance. Knowing how to target your market and ensure your promotion is read is not easy. You could hire a copywriter to write your sales letter for you. Copywriters are trained in writing sales copy and sales letters but they are expensive, so you may be thinking of writing your own sales letters. If you are not a copywriter writing your own sales letters can be difficult. The good news however is that you can access free sample sales...

Do you not pay for convenience? Have you not recently went to your local fast food restaurant, bought you a nice sized hamburger or a good warm sandwich made with fresh bread, dripping with your favorite toppings, with a cool refreshing drink of some sort? Or purchased a smoothie made with your favorite fruit, mixed in with some sort of energy supplying supplement? All restaurants offer services to you that you undoubtedly know that you can do yourself. You know how to make a sandwich and you can make smoothie just by going to the grocery store, buying some fruit and juice, and throw it in a blender with a few other edible items. You also realize that all the ingredients used at your favorite...

I remember talking to a friend who shared my life-long obsession with the idea of owning a restaurant and bar. We'd be just like Sam Malone, I figured, standing around the bar making small talk with pretty girls, getting laughs from beer-swilling regulars and then getting up every day at noon or so to count the cash! When I bought by first franchise restaurant and bar, a cool-looking Mexican place, my friend was green with envy - and it had nothing to do with our great guacamole! There are two BIG things wrong with the situation I have just described (buying a franchise, and owning a restaurant), but this article will deal with just the latter - three things you really need to know about the...

I have been using Foursquare for my client who is a local restaurant owner. I felt compelled to share this as Foursquare is truly the Social Media rock star for 2010. Foursquare is rightly known as the Twitter of 2010. Foursquare can be used as a friend finder, social city guide and also has a very interesting game to engage and keep in touch your local clients.

Each time you check in you receive...

Before you decide to go after a big deal gain some confidence by securing smaller local deals to gain some traction before going after the big fish.

The answer used to be at a local school or community college, however today when someone asks me "Where Can I Learn How To Speak German?" I simply answer "On your desktop". You see, today, with our high speed internet connections and our high powered computers, we have all the horsepower we need, right on our desktop (or laptop) to run even the high-end computer based German learning software. System requirements vary, but typically as long as you have working speakers and your computer was built within the last seven to ten years, you can run any of the better software packages. So what do you get in these packages? Well, all of the better packages use a multi-pronged approach to learning the...

Chicago is one of my favorite cities. I lived there for seven years while I was a graduate student at the University of Chicago. I have also visited there many times. Among my favorite places to visit in Chicago are the Art Institute, the University of Chicago, the Adler Planetarium, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Field Museum of Natural History. Chicago also has plenty of great restaurants, bars, and blues clubs. I first visited Chicago with my girlfriend in 1982. We spent about five days there and had a great time. We went to Second City, a very funny comedy club. Lots of big comedians got their start on Second City, including Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, and Bill Murray. We also went to the Art...

As with all Apple marketing, the iPhone marketing strategy is very clear, simple and clever. With the plain and simple apple icon, Apple focuses on the pure innovative style of their products without all the "fluff". The iPhone was released by Apple in June, 2007. The ground-breaking style of the iPhone was touted for months before the initial release and has remained the best of the best when it comes to cell phones over the past several years. Before the iPhone's official release, Apple ran four television commercials promoting the new cell phone. The first of the commercials portrays the new iPhone as the next step up from the popular iPod. The iPod was all the rage up until this point, and the...

Tamarindo is the "hub" of Guanacaste from a traveller's perspective, and puts you right on beaches with great sport fishing, easy access to hiking and volcanoes, access to great surf (including 'Ollies', the point break named for Ollie North), and even a nearby city in San Jose. Violent crime is not an issue here, although some areas of San Jose can be rough and should be avoided, but you do not want to leave valuables laying around in an unattended vehicle. The region is named for the national tree of Costa Rica which you will see in addition to many sugar cane fields. One of my favorite things about the local food products is that they are generally sweetened with sugar cane instead of the nasty...

KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken to the uninitiated - is a national restaurant franchise that was created in 1952 by Colonel Harland Sanders in Kentucky. Since then the franchise - now a subsidiary of Yum! Brands - has spread to 11,000 restaurants in the United States (as well as over 80 other countries around the world). KFC gained its popularity by selling chicken fried in its closely-guarded "Original Recipe"; because of this, the taste of the food and the recently successful pairing of KFC restaurants with other successful chains, KFC has become one of the foremost icons of the American restaurant industry. The name of the franchise says it all. By far the most popular item on the menu is its fried...

Susanna Foo is a native of Inner Mongolia who spent her formative years in Northern China's Shanxi Province. Her father had been a general in the army of Chiang Kai-Shek, fighting against Mao Tse-Tung's Red Army. It was from her father that Susanna got her love of fine food. Her father had gone to an exclusive boarding school in the 1920's, and he frequently regaled Susanna with tales of exquisite imperial-style cuisine such as local duck and lamb dishes. Susanna's mother was an excellent chef who bought and cooked only the freshest traditional produce and meat dishes. With the defeat of Chiang, Susanna's family fled to Taiwan, where she spent her teenage years. She emigrated to the United States in...

ing paralysis was creeping up on Phil. Every time he looked back at what needed to be done to complete the event successfully, he found himself tinkering; changing and adding activities that did not really add any value to the event he had been tasked with managing. He had to grab hold of this project and move it along. Once the planning is done and you have your team, a venue and a workable framework for the timetable; it's time to get organizing. As the event manager the buck stops with you but that doesn't mean that you have to do everything. Make sure you delegate tasks and activities effectively and you will end up being less stressed and more productive. Booking the venue The very first...

Brooklyn is an exciting part of New York City, full of character and diversity. It also has an enthusiastic running community, some excellent running clubs, and some outstanding running trails. Brooklyn is convenient to reach from Manhattan, either on foot from Downtown or by subway from anywhere on the island, so you do not have to be a Brooklyn dweller to consider running or walking here. The focal point for running in Brooklyn is Prospect Park, Brooklyn's answer to Central Park. It is 526 acres, roughly two-thirds the size of Central Park. It has a paved loop road, 3.35 miles around, closed to vehicle traffic much of the time. It has some significant hills at the northern end, making for a great...

Ahhh, baseball and beer. Are they the two perfect summer companions or what? And if you're a fan of baseball, beer or both, there are some great places to explore in every major league baseball city. Here's a closer look at San Francisco... Baseball In San Francisco Baseball has been a big part of the city of San Francisco long before the Giants moved here from New York in 1958. San Francisco is the home of legendary baseball great Joe Dimaggio, who played here back in the 1930's. History aside though, baseball is a big part of the cultural scene here. Games at AT+T Park are very popular, especially given the beautiful waterfront setting of the ballpark. AT+T Park is located just south of downtown...

As owner/operator of a restaurant, if you asked one of your waiters: "what is the difference between broiled chicken and roasted chicken?' or "what is a ragout sauce?' Would you be provided with the correct answer? If not, then I highly suggest that you start teaching basic food knowledge and food preparation methods in your waiter training programs. Otherwise, precious revenue is being lost unnecessarily everyday in your restaurant's dining room. Most chefs work extremely hard and long hours to design and implement a food menu. But, if your waiters cannot follow through with proper dining room service that includes being able to explain, in detail, everything on that menu, then a lot of the chef's...

Even though it's fairly inexpensive to eat at pizza buffets, Cici's pizza coupons takes it one step further by offering a low price to begin with, and allowing you to save even more money through the use of free coupons and special deals. I always take advantage of these discounts because I eat there regularly and the savings are substantial, so I would feel foolish if I didn't. Of course, Cici's does not only offer pizza; it offers a nice variety of salads, pastas, and desserts and I'm always sure to come away absolutely stuffed when I visit this restaurant with my family. The regular price to eat at this pizza buffet chain is somewhere just under $5.00 and kids under the age of 3 eat there for...

Kudos to the road trip planner who creates a romantic weekend road trip for two for Valentine's Day. Where you go isn't nearly as important as what romantic touches you add to the trip. Infuse the element of surprise into your road trip planning by secretly packing a suitcase and stowing it in the trunk of the car. Admittedly, this works better if it's the woman who's doing the surprise. Men usually aren't as picky as to what they'll wear out to dinner while women need choices, so men, if you want to keep the road trip a surprise, I'd recommend on packing at least 3 different outfits (and shoes!) or pack just her day clothes and add shopping to your itinerary so she can pick out a new outfit to wear...

Usually when we go to restaurants and enjoy the service of a waiter or the whole restaurant itself, we provide tips that serves as a thank you token. Tipping may vary from the country you are in or a specific restaurant, it is essential to learn a little something about tipping. In the United States, tipping amount is usually twenty percent of the bill. But you have to remember that some restaurants include tax in the price of the actual food and drinks. Meaning, it is not twenty percent of the bill that include tax. Some restaurant even added service charge to larger groups, or deliveries. What you have to remember is that, you should be aware of this information. Because when a service fee is...

The father and daughter relationship is a very important one and indeed, there are a lot of things that a dad can and must teach her, although, at times, he may be at a lost as to how to build this relationship.

Over 400 Korean War Veteran's names in the U.S. were drawn from as many as 5700 applications to attend the 50th Anniversary Commemoration of the signing of the Armistice, July 27, 1953 in Panmunjom, Korea. My husband Doyle was one of them. They could take any guest they wanted but would be required to pay the guest airfare. All other expenses would be covered in Korea. This event was sponsored by the Federation of Korean Industries (businessmen) who planned tours for about 1,000 veterans and guests (worldwide) representing the 21 countries whose veterans served in Korea from 1950-'53. Doyle and I(wife)boarded American airlines in Kansas City for a flight to Chicago's O'Hare Airport on July 23rd...

The first step in the realization of a trip to Walt Disney World is planning. Unlike sun destinations such as Cuba, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, the Orlando area in Florida is not an easy destination. There are many activities; many trips and spending opportunities are endless. Many factors can influence the cost of your trip. First, you have to choose the time of the year to realize your journey. Some periods are more economical than others. The low season is from early January until late February and early September to mid-December. In addition to taking advantage of discounts on flights and promotions from Disney, you will enjoy a lesser traffic and therefore more reasonable waiting lines...

What happens when we go out? How do we control our energy intake if we have a business lunch in a restaurant or attend a friend's party at the local pub? We've been told that it is okay to eat most foods as long as we eat them in moderation. When was the last time you ate in moderation when you were at a restaurant? Probably never? Why? Moderation does not come into our thoughts when we dine out or grab some takeaway, because what dominates our thoughts is 'value for money', a common theme in the etiology of energy density and weight gain. There is also the social and even cultural aspect of dining out. When the party is in full swing, and after a glass or two of red, you say to yourself, the diet...

In Napoleon Hill's classic book Think and Grow Rich, there is a story about the "The Ignorant Man who made a Fortune." Hill tells how multi millionaire Henry Ford was once called "ignorant" in a Chicago newspaper editorial. Ford brought a lawsuit and during the trial was tested by newspaper's lawyer to see if he was indeed, ignorant. One of the questions he was asked was how many troops the British sent over to put down the rebellion in the American colonies. Ford didn't know the answer to the question and quipped, "I heard that it was a considerably larger number than went back!" He then countered, "I have a row of buttons on my desk, and I can push to summon to my aid, men who can answer any...

> Washington , D.C. has been harboring a secret for the last decade; a secret that is getting harder and harder to keep from the nation. Alhough D.C. was noted as a magnet for excellent ethnic cuisine in the past, it never savored a reputation for fine dining. Maybe it was the conservative streak prevalent in the city and surrounding suburbs, or maybe it was a reputation of having loads of lowly paid federal workers lacking sophisticated palates and owning tightly zipped wallets. Whatever the reason, the sidewalks of D.C. basically folded at night. Those were the days when gourmands in search of great food traveled to the likes of Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York City. A secret no more! Over the...

If you're like me, any time you're going on a trip, food is one of the foremost issues on your mind, in a good way. When I'm planning to go somewhere like Paris, Rome, Barcelona, or Copenhagen, I can't help but think about all the restaurants, small cafes, diners, take-out delis, and eateries that I'm going to visit. In fact, I even choose my accommodations based on nearby food options. And when I'm there, I tend to organize my day outings around places to eat. There's no reason to be ashamed of this. Food is fun, and the Europeans do it better than anyone. Over the years, I've developed a long list of rules for finding the top restaurants in European cities. For starters, here are the top 5: 1...

Have you ever been out to eat and been terrified that you were going to order the wrong wine. Did you start to sweat while looking at the wine list? You do not want to start your night out with friends and family like this. The right wine can enhance and your meal. People that know their wine know that there are certain ones that will go perfectly with certain foods. White wine goes well with a chicken dinner. It really is not that hard to remember which wine goes with what foods. You just need to learn the ins and outs of ordering this beverage at eating establishments. Actually knowing what you are doing when it comes to ordering wine in a restaurant is somewhat of an art. Skill has nothing to do...

Technique is an extremely important part of restaurant customer service, yet the attitude of service is just as important. Why? Customer perception. It is a great feat when a waiter has all of the mechanics down pat. But, if this waiter is perceived by customers as providing poor or indifferent service, he/she will not shine as much as the waiter who does not do everything correctly, but enthusiastically tries to please each and every customer. The word restaurant itself has French origins meaning to "restore." Today, more than ever, customers patronize restaurants seeking not only physical restoration through the consumption of food and beverage, but also psychological restoration. There is no...

On a beautiful Sunday morning I had another lovely breakfast on the paradise that is the terrace of the Hotel Villa Nettuno. This Sunday I had planned to rent a little motor scooter to explore the countryside around Taormina. So after my morning meal I strolled just a few steps up the street on Via Pirandello and found a local car and scooter rental office. I had already completed and paid for the entire scooter rental, and the gentleman started showing me how to operate the machine, a 125 cc Vespa double-seater motor scooter, how to turn it on, how to brake, how to look the steering wheel, how to fill up the gas and how to lock my helmet in the cargo holding box at the back of the seat. Then, in a...

The first thing you should do is prepare a budget of the amount of money you have coming into the household and list of your expenses. You do have to make sure you...

Our guide book said that Lisbon bears the brunt of the Atlantic depressions, being located on the west coast of the country by the Atlantic and the mouth of the River Tagus. The book advises that rainfall is high in December and January and becomes lighter in February. The city does need this rain as there is still some around in March and there is not much till later in the year apart from a few thunderstorms and showers. We arrived on Thursday morning. It was raining as we landed at Portela Airport. We had expected this as checking weather forecasts on the television and the Internet, this was predicted for Thursday and Friday. By the time our taxi had dropped us off at our very smart boutique...
