| Greetings!
This week
1200 pages of polybagged newsprint landed at the
front door of thousands of Metro Vancouver
households. It was the new edition of the
Yellow Pages, which raises an interesting debate:
Is the Yellow Pages still relevant to your
business or still useful to you as a
consumer? Respond to our poll by sending
your responses to survey@bstormweb.com.
Absolutely -
I use the Yellow Pages regularly |
Somewhat - I use it a
few times a year | Not
really - I almost never use
it | Definitely
not - I can't remember the last time
I looked at it.

The way to grow your
business |
|
In the life
cycle of many businesses, a turning point is
reached when growth stalls and changes are
required to climb to the next level. One answer to
this is plateauing, which is often advanced by
recessionary times, to diversify markets and
product lines. But doing so can be disruptive,
frightening and, if mishandled, dangerous.

Inside sales: The real
revenue generators |
|
The
secret's out: Inside sales teams are driving
business-to-business sales in the 21st century.
Rapidly changing dynamics have made inside sales
teams the real revenue generators in today's top
sales organizations and have changed the way sales
are done.

season

Why sales quotas can hurt
profitability |
|
|
What
would happen if you got rid of your sales staff's
quotas? Would they slack off and make your
profitability plummet? According to new research
from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the
opposite very well may happen: eliminating quotas
can provide a means of boosting your
profits.

35 years and going
strong |

With all the hype we hear about emarketing,
social networking, mobile marketing and other
online innovations, you would think that we've
officially moved into the realm of a paperless
society that depends solely on the Internet to
connect with our customers and communicate our
messages to the general public. If only it was
that simple.
