 (Cursor down to read all 5 business topics)

A very helpful strategy for building a business development plan is structuring it in phases. Too often, owners assume they must create a single path to their ultimate goals all at once. It’s more effective to think of phases with transitions from one phase to the next based upon hitting certain milestones at the end of each phase. You’ll find it much more effective for integrating your actions. Think about it. ©Viscon Services

Recruiting and Hiring Tip 6/3/2026

Hiring a new employee represents a new start for both sides. This new employee will eventually be making many daily decisions. Decision making, even the smallest ones during workdays, turn into actions. The best predicter of future decisions is past decisions. That process is habitual. Decision making repeats itself. Learn as much as you can about the candidates’ major career decisions. Probe for their rationales for those decisions before you hire them. Think about it. ©Viscon Services

Sales & Selling Tip 6/5/2026

An important ingredient in helping customers make decisions to buy is making the process personal. That means making sure customers understand that the salesperson is primarily concerned about the customer being happy with their decision to buy. The better customers sense and understand that point, the easier the sales will be. The one requirement is that you must sincerely mean your concern, not fake it. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
