Ad agency ‘gangbangs’ happen every day at every agency. Everywhere. But before you splash on some cologne and get your car detailed…there’s good news about them, and there’s bad news about them.
The good news if that if you become a copywriter, you too will experience this unique advertising rite. I can 100% promise you that. No question.

Schizophrenic patients suffer split personalities, characterised by withdrawal from reality
and behavioural disturbances. Management needs to have very sharp and emphatic focus
rather than become schizophrenic.
It does not take very long to mess up a company especially when the focus of the key
management is muddled. Just a couple of months should do the job. All it takes is for
you take on some loss-making projects and contracts, neglect collecting your debts and
allow excess inventory to build up. You need to remain even more level-headed during
problematic times.

There has been a complete turnaround in the concept of manpower management in most leading companies. The focus has shifted from authoritarian style of management to a more personal and caring style, which treats people who make up a company as associates and comrades. This change in attitude has led to the formation of the Associate Acknowledgment program that helps improve employee communication with the management and boost their morale. This kind of a work environment makes the employees feel supported, celebrated and acknowledged. One part of this program is the Employee bereavement policy that conveys sympathy for staff members that have suffered a family death.

I. The positive side of discipline
Discipline does not necessarily mean punishing people. We have to see it as a learning opportunity to help a person grow and meet the goals of the organization. Because it is not a natural like to take disciplinary action, and because we do not do it often, it is fair to say that we are not good at it. There are a few things that we must remember when that inevitable disciplinary interview takes place.

Many people end up in jobs that they don’t like or that are boring and routine. What started out as seeming like a great job has turned into a disappointing situation.
Often, we wish for better jobs with more freedom or some excitement. Anyone can have that kind of a job, a dream job with room for growth and that is interesting.

I was confused, frustrated and had to go to the bathroom. This added to my being more and more irrational as the evening progressed. I started to sweat in spite of the car windows being open and the temperature hovering around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I had headed out from La Jolla, California at about 7PM and should have found the Whole Foods Market near the University of San Diego in less than 10 minutes. However, it was nearly an hour later and I was driving up one street turning around when I got paranoid and down the same street. I would repeat this behavior at the next street thinking that the market was just around the corner. At one point I asked for directions in a gas station. I must have been whiter than a sheet and shaking from a lack of food, the attendant looking me over like I was a crazed lunatic! I hadn’t had more than a half of a sandwich for lunch and a small energy bar before my unexpected Yoga class earlier in the evening.

As an internet marketer, I realized most new people in the business would just give people hundreds of dollars just for a simple tool like domain submission tools when actually you can get these software for free to do the same amount of work needed!

You probably already know that one of the cardinal rules of PowerPoint presentations is not to read from the slides as you make a presentation. If you do, your audience is soon lulled into turning their attention away from you and exclusively to the screen. Worse yet, they may be thinking, “Why didn’t she just give me a copy of the slides so I can leave?”

If you knocked on all the doors in your neighborhood, you’d learn a lot about the people who live around you.
Did you know that the same thing is true when you make cold calls to sales prospects?
Certainly, cold calling is primarily a prospecting tool. VSA makes telephone calls every day for our clients and we open doors to sales opportunities. Sometimes our clients ask us to gather specific information to qualify leads. But, even when we implement pure appointment generation campaigns, we gain valuable market intelligence for our clients.

A couple of months ago I went along to something called an Innovation Partnership. I was quite excited about it – I’m a great believer in trying new ways of doing things, opportunities for thinking outside the box and a chance to discuss ideas with new people. This had all the ingredients of a useful and stimulating few hours. In reality, it was simply a networking opportunity for mostly statutory funded enterprise agencies. Not very innovative at all. Such groupings just seem to be called partnerships, in the same way that in the 20th Century they were called committees. I can’t help but remember that a camel is a horse designed by a committee! I think that is a topic for a future posting however.
