I would like to tell you a bit of a story so you can relate with me better. I have been trying to find a good online business for a while now. I thought that all hope was over until I decided to try my hand at retail marketing. I am now well on my way to making huge profits from retail sales.
How did I decide retail sales were what I needed to do? Well, I found this blog about someone that was basically in the same situation that I was. The author was trying to break into retail sales for some time, and after searching through tons of different products he finally found what worked for him. It takes a lot of drive and determination to make any business work, and you have to stick with it. If you are trying to get into retail sales one of the first things you must do is find products that you can buy wholesale at a great price, and pass those great savings on to your customers. They will thank you by coming back again, and again. Buying at a low price will also allow you to start out with opening day sales, and after your limited time offer runs out raise the price a little. You will generate tons of sales this way.
Ok, so those were just a few tips, and suggestions that I have found helpful to me. I hope that this article was at least helpful in some way, to someone. Just stick in there, don’t give up, and most importantly treat your customers with dignity and respect, and they will keep coming back for more! By: Brian Cook

Today, most people pay little attention to social or business etiquette. While some elements of traditional etiquette may seem dates and pre-”high tech”, they are worth reviewing - and incorporating into your daily business life.
Telephone Calls
With the exception of “cold calls”, all calls received should be returned within no more than twenty-four hours. This applies to “internal” and “external” calls. Of course, calls to customers - current and potential - should be returned first.
Office Visits
When visiting someone’s office, whether a customer, boss or “internal” customer, take no more time than is absolutely necessary. Treat other’s time as if it were your own.
Bids
When you bid on a job, follow-up directly with the potential client or customer. When you are in receipt of a bid, follow-up with the vendor or consultant whether they win it or not. If the bid is delayed, communicate this fact to the vendor or consultant.
Resumes
When you post a job opening and you interview someone by telephone (screening) or face-to-face, follow-up the interview with either a call or e-mail. When you have selected a candidate, let those you interviewed who did not get the job know that you selected someone else.
Meetings
Schedule no more meetings than absolutely necessary. Make your meetings brief and to the point with an agenda and a time limit.
Conference Calls
Schedule conference calls when they are most convenient for all participants. If you have participants globally, schedule them at different times to share the inconvenience among all participants. Send out an agenda and time limit in advance. Make sure all participants are on time and remain for the entire call.
Customers
The customer is first in all things. Ahead of the boss. Ahead of subordinates. Ahead of suppliers. Even ahead of your family and personal life. They pay the bills. Do not ever inconvenience a customer.
E-mail is both a blessing and a curse. Those who worked prior to e-mail remember regular mail drops and office couriers. Respond to all customer e-mails within no more than twenty-four hours. Respond to all other e-mail sent directly to you (excluding “spam” and mass group e-mailings) within forty-eight hours. Only address emails to those who absolutely need the information (response, request or whatever) within them.
Time
Respect the time of others. If you are going to be late, call them to let them know. If you must leave a meeting early, let the “owner” of the meeting know in advance. And if an appointment or meeting must be cancelled, let the participants know as far in advance as possible so they can rearrange their schedules.
Business etiquette may seem basic but increasingly, business people think of themselves and not others. Not their clients or customers. Not their employees. And not their vendors or suppliers. Business etiquette is often rewarded by others behaving in a similar manner. Take the first step by making an example through your actions and those of your team.
