The National

trade exchange owners from across North America, announced today
that their 33rd annual convention is scheduled for May 7 to 9 at the
Golden Nugget in Las Vegas.
Barter exchanges from across the U.S.
are invited to attend the convention, which will be packed with new
interactive seminars focused on exchange owners, brokers and sales
in an ever-changing environment. Networking opportunities,
brainstorming sessions, and RTB/CTB certifications complete this
array.
John Kucera, President of NATE, said
"This is a great venue to join with other exchanges from across the
nation for three days of learning, networking and fun. You will
depart with more knowledge and exciting new ideas for growing your
exchange."

How Do You See Yourself?
Most entrepreneurial business owners see their "business
personalities" in distinct terms, according to the latest
survey by Open Small Business Network, American Express
Company's small-business unit. When asked to choose,
34% of the owners in the survey characterized themselves as
managers, or big picture people, who like making things run
smoothly and improving how employees work together. They
enjoy the operational part of the business. Second,
at 27%, came what the poll labeled the heroes, or those who
take to solving the difficult problems facing a company.
Next, at 16%, were the rainmakers who find new business,
while 11% of the owners see themselves as artists, more
involved in creating products than running the business
Only 4% of those surveyed would characterize themselves as
mavericks, or risk-takers, those who sometimes take up
projects for the sense of adventure alone.
Owners
were also asked what their No.1 pet-peeve was regarding
employees. Although the largest percentage (35%) didn't have
any one pet-peeve, for those who did, showing up late for
work and lack of initiative were at the top of the list.

Step Up Your Efforts To
Boost Your Bottomline
♣ Identify, target, and nurture your niche.
This
includes that small pocket of customers and potential
clients with whom you enjoy working, and whose needs you can
fulfill. ♣ Service your clients to the utmost
degree. Determine what is important to your clients.
Find better ways to connect with their bottom lines. Tell
your clients exactly what you can do for them on a regular
basis. ♣Get in the habit of asking every customer,
every day, for referrals. If you had zero
marketing-dollars for advertising, this is the logical
conclusion you would make. So do it, go ahead and ask your
current clients for referrals. ♣
Refuse to
acknowledge pessimistic discussions about the economy.
Turn off the TV when bad news is being broadcast, gently
change the conversation when needed. Reconnect with your own
passions — give your working life all your positiveness!
