Recession, downturn or
just plain slowdown-the prospect of an extended
economic slump is pretty scary.
Inflation is on the rise, consumer
confidence is taking a hit, and some small
business owners are starting
to feel the squeeze. It's a tough reality, with
direct implications on the
marketing budget. What's a business owner to do
when the economy
stumbles? Ideally, the same as when confidence is booming:
get to
know your customers and give 'em some love!
Show
your customers some love with these simple ideas from 4imprint:

Handing in a resignation letter is one that
usually comes with mixed feelings.
No matter how bad your experience may have
been or how frustrated you
were in the position, you are now ready to write
your resignation letter and
there is special care that needs to be taken when
doing so.
Aim to resign with dignity and pride and
never burn your bridges:

Forecasting For Growth: Strategic Thinking
To be effective
as a leader, you must develop skills in strategic thinking.
Strategic thinking
is a process whereby you learn how to make your
business vision a reality
by developing your abilities in team work,
problem solving, and critical thinking.
It is also a tool to help you
confront change, plan for and make transitions,
and envision new
possibilities and opportunities.
