With the current tight economy, companies must work harder to hang onto and keep their existing clients. Although sales professionals know that it is much easier to sell to an existing customer than to land a new one, account managers too often fall into the habit of becoming "order takers". Now, more than ever, you need to respond to the changing needs of your client's business or risk losing them to a competitor. Successful client meetings require thoughtful planning to strengthen and expand

Gone are the days when salespeople calling on retail account prospects had lots of time to build a case and establish relationships. With increased corporate mergers in all retail sectors-be it food, drug or clothing-there are now fewer decision makers controlling larger budgets with less time to consider purchase options.

Today's reduced workforce demands that fewer employees take on more responsibilities. For managers, this means maximizing the talents and potential of their subordinates and making sure they are fulfilled and challenged by what they do day to day. Managers who focus only on giving out assignments and supervising workflow and neglect employee development will quickly lose frustrated staff-members to competitors. If they know these skills are important for employee retention, why,

Every organization has its "problem children". They are the ones who are stellar at what they do but not as successful when it comes to communicating effectively with others. Ironically, they often are major contributors to a company's success but also hurt the company by driving away other talented people who can't deal with their idiosyncrasies.

The savvy negotiator recognizes that using unethical tricks to win single deals does not lead to building successful long-term relationships. These managers know that their client will never want to do business with them again if they resort to underhanded manipulation.

Your company's public image is particularly challenged when it is linked with a crisis, which grabs the media's attention. They want to know what happened and why, so you need to have a communication strategy in place that puts you and your company in the best possible light.

Solving problems as a team is never an easy task. Too often, managers concentrate on their individual needs and goals and miss the opportunities of collaboration. What should be a coordinated effort that capitalizes on the sum of individual strengths unfortunately often degenerates into an unproductive series of internal struggles.

Getting ready to announce an initial public offering is a stressful undertaking. Newly formed companies are typically so distracted with all the financial and legal details of "finishing the deal", that they often do not spend enough time properly planning their communication strategy for the crucial first press conference.

The increased globalization of business has required that executives be effective presenters in a number of different cultures. Many managers perform quite well in their own countries, but neglect to account for audience cultural differences when planning presentations. Often they focus on researching and developing content, but are unaware and not attuned to how individuals in different countries are most comfortable receiving information.

The difference between a candidate as presented on paper versus in person can be very different. Faced with hiring time pressures, many managers approach interviewing haphazardly. Without a consistent and systematic approach, they often miss important information about the candidate's suitability for the job.

Getting along with your boss can be a complicated challenge. One way to foster a good relationship is to understand your manager's preferred communication style. Knowing this will allow you to better understand what motivates your boss and how he or she is most comfortable receiving and processing information.
