Welcome to the August 16, 2009 edition of Get International Clients.
Dragos Roua @dragosroua presents Solving The Wrong Problem posted at The choice of a personal path saying “One of my oldest memories as a child is cleaning the house. I remember clearly how I started to use a broom – which seemed like a giant toy – and how I slowly gathered together piles of dust from all areas of our small apartment. It was something new and exciting. Although I was a kid (not older than 3, I guess), I know I wasn’t playing, because I had the task to take out all the dirt from the floor. I used the broom as a tool to get out all the dirt and did it consciously. At some moment, all the piles I gathered with my broom were loaded into a trash bin. I clearly remember how good I felt after the whole action. I eliminated the dirt. Did something by myself.”
Shane Gibson @shanegibson presents What is a Tweetup? posted at Closing Bigger saying “A Tweetup is:
- A gathering of people who use Twitter
- It can be a general geographic Tweetup like a Tweetup of people in Vancouver
- It can be a Tweetup for a cause where Twitter friends organize a get together to do something for the community
- It can be topical such as a Tweetup for martial artists, cyclists or people who are in the social media scene
- It’s about the fact that when we get offline and meet in person it cements relationships and builds community
- An Event that Usually lasts from 1 to 3 hours”
Tony Johnston @CompassNorthInc presents 17 Hot Biz Tips for Private Co.s posted at Biz Money Matters saying “Welcome to my Guy Kawasaki advice mash-up. These are my take on Guy’s advice for entrepreneurs that he offered during a couple of talks, one he gave at a recent University of Pennsylvania technology conference and the other comes from a series of talks he gave in 2008 for the Montgomery & Hansen‘s online learning site and conference.”
Christian Hoeferle (Höferle) @HoeferleConsult presents Brush up your intercultural skills posted at Southeast Schnitzel saying “If you are a reader of this blog you most likely heard about the latest news regarding jobs at Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant. The German car manufacturer went public with an interesting stat: So far they have received some 18,000 applications and hired 100 people. That means, out of every 180 applicants one got a job at VW. If you don’t want to be one of the other 179, you not only should get your resumé up to speed. You may also want to brush up your intercultural skills.”
Samir Balwani @leftthebox presents Social Media is a Culture, Not Just a Strategy posted at Left The Box saying “We all know the basic buzz words of social media, “Twitter Marketing, Facebook Strategy, Community Building”. The problem with these terms are they allude to an idea that once you build a strategy for these platforms, you’ll be able to fully leverage social media. As much as people may disagree with me; I believe that before a company can fully use social media, there needs to be a cultural shift.”
Steven Rosen @StevenARosen presents The 5 Biggest Sales Management Coaching Blunders posted at Sales Management Today saying “Transforming your sales managers from good to great coaches can have a dramatic impact on sales. In fact, sales coaching is the management No. 1 activity that drives sales performance. The only problem is that managers have not been taught how to effectively coach. Coaching is a skill that takes time to perfect and unless effectively coached or trained managers make all types of blunders.”
