1. KNOWING YOUR CUSTOMERS - CLOSING THE SALE - by Vishal P. Rao - visit his Site

Knowing Your Customers; Closing the Sale Just because your business is based in your home that doesn't mean you can afford to ignore the most important element of your success: sales.

We have found that managing three important areas in our lives in the proper way has made working from home much easier.

Many small companies do not invest in a professional-looking logo. But the right logo, with the right characteristics, will boost your visibility, credibility and memorablity - which means more business for you!

Direct marketers have this one down cold. They know that one of the best ways to develop a pool of qualified prospects is to offer something for free.
