Strategic Marketing & BD Tip 10/19/2026
(Cursor down to read all 5 business topics)
Many companies reach a point in their strategic planning where creating systems becomes a must. But too often, those companies immediately start shopping for the latest software programs and databases. The problem is that this sequence is backwards. The software is not the system. The system is planned without software. After the system is thoroughly discussed, agreed to, and documented, then it’s time to shop for the program that best fits it. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Management & Leadership Tip 10/20/2026
An important function in managing employees is focusing on their individual growth opportunities. Most owners limit the growth to just income. But the feeling of having chances to grow in abilities and responsibilities over time is an incredibly important performance motivator for people. It also creates loyalty, which in turn produces retention. Setting up and keeping growth plans for employees can bring enormous returns to business owners and leadership. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Recruiting and Hiring Tip 10/21/2026
A simple but often overlooked part of interviewing is what is NOT said and NOT on the resumes. Candidates understandably say what they think the interviewer wants to hear. Resumes only tell selective information. Avoid interviewing for facts only. Interview for their rationales for their decisions. Also, employ online profiles/surveys which used to be called tests. They are enormously helpful to target key issues in interviews. Think about it.

Systems & Data Tip 10/8/2026
There was a time when systems and the data they captured was for large companies. The reasons were two simple issues. (1) They required it to keep so many moving parts working in the right order and still get the quality they needed. (2) They were the only ones that could afford the programming for whatever technical components they used. That’s not the case anymore. With all the new databases and technologies available, systems and data are now easily integrated into small to mid-size companies and are easily affordable. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Sales & Selling Tip 10/9/2026
Whether you are a sales manager overseeing a sales team, or you are a salesperson yourself, it is critical to your future success to accurately assess what type of sales you or your people are good at performing. Sales is not a one-size-fits-all. There are transactional sales, accounts management, service sales, commodity sales, sophisticated (long cycle) sales, one-off types, and many more. Match the person to the type that best suits them. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
