📚5 Steps to Help You Order Wine Like an Expert Are you planning business diner? How do you feel when you’re handed the wine list at a restaurant? If you’re like most people, you feel uncomfortable. 🍷🍷Even if you’re no expert, just follow these five simple steps: 👉1. Take your time. A few seconds after handing you the biggest wine list in the world, the waiter will come over and say, “Have you made your selection?” or “Do you need help?” Just look up, smile and say, “You have such an interesting list. It’ll take me a few minutes to decide.” At this point, the waiter will think you know what you’re doing and will leave you alone. 👉2. Decide if you want red or white. So if it’s lunch, go with white. Fish restaurant? White. Steak joint? Red. This single decision cuts the wine list in half. 👉3. Does the restaurant specialize in a certain type of wine? If there are 20 Italian wines listed and five U.S. wines, the owner cares more about Italian wine. Go with it. 👉4. Look for wines you already know — and cross them off, too. Hey, if you can buy the same wine from the corner wine store for half the price, it’s not going to be much fun drinking it at a restaurant, is it? Look for something new. 👉5. Pick two or three. At this point, say to the waiter, “I can’t decide among these wines” — and, wait, the next sentence is the key. Do not say, “What would you recommend?” Sad to say, in many cases, the waiter really doesn’t have a clue and will simply choose one. ✍️Summary of article published on www.guides.wsj.com.com Follow @business.handbook for daily posts! #business #handbook #BusinessHandbook #emailmarketingtips #businessmen #orderawine #tips #tipbusiness (at South Beach, Miami)

📚Plan-Do-Check-Act (or PDCA) is one of the key elements in lean manufacturing, or for that matter in any kind of improvement process. 👉Plan. Depending on the project, this may be the largest part of the effort of the PDCA. Define the scope: What problem are you looking at? Define the target: What do you want to achieve? What are your goals? Analyze the situation: Try to understand what the current situation is. Talk to people. Visit the shop floor and observe (#GenchiGenbutsu). Collect data. Develop solutions: What approaches could help you to fix the problem? Select the best solution. 👉Do. Make your changes. Change the shop floor, create the product, actually make it happen. In any case, try to make the Do stick. Create a standard, train the workers, and confirm that they are following the standard even a few days later. 👉Check. Check carefully if it really works! This is probably the most frequently overlooked part of the PDCA. Did your implemented solution actually work? Did you achieve your goals? This is a very serious question. The management attention during a change process on the shop floor will lead to higher productivity and better quality, regardless of what is actually implemented. However, as soon as the management attention has moved on, everything reverts back to the old state. 👉Act. The Act is to decide what to do next. This depends on the outcome of the Check. If your implementation failed to achieve the targets, you have to find out the reason. This will lead to a repetition of the PDCA with another Plan to figure out a new or better solution to achieve your goals. ⁉️Now you have to think about which problem to solve next. Prioritize your problems, pick the most relevant one (usually the one with the best expected benefit for the effort), and start a new PDCA. ✍️Summary of the article published on www.allaboutlean.com 👣Follow @Business.HandBook for daily posts👣 Evgeny Rekling #business #handbook #BusinessHandbook #Rekling #tax #economy #investing #financial #budget #bonds #debt #FinancialAdvice #FinancialNews #productivity #productiontips #tips #tipbusiness #tipsforsuccess #pdca #plandocheckact (at Boston, Massachusetts)

✍️How to Write Formal Letter? 👉Sender - Your address (or the return address) goes in the top right corner of the page. 👉Recipient - The Address of the person you are writing to should be written on the left, starting slightly below your address. 👉Date - Write the date either on the right or the left (not a big choice) after the address you are writing to. There are a lot of conventions on numbers and dates, this is what you need for now: if you are writing to a European use the format day-month-year “23-02-2016”, if you are writing to an American use the “month day, year” format. 👉Kick off: salutation and greeting - Go and find out the name of the person you are writing to and address him using the title and the family name only (eg. Dear Prof Jones, Dear Dr. White, Dear Mrs. Adams, etc). If you are writing to a woman and do not know if she is Mrs or Miss, don’t freak out, you can use Ms, which is good both for married and single women. 👉Content ❗️- First paragraph Start by stating the purpose of the letter (apply for a job, request something, offer a product, make an inquiry, complaint, etc). Remember to keep it to the point. ❗️- Middle paragraphs Use the middle paragraphs to provide with relevant reasons and explanations of your purpose. Organize this in short and logically clear paragraphs ❗️- Last Paragraph The last paragraph is the “call to action” where you ask the recipient to do something (consider your application, send you information, fix an appointment, refund, etc). Do this very politely by giving your availability to provide with more information, attend to an interview, thanking for their consideration, restating your interest. 👉Closing - Close the letter with “Sincerely”, “Yours Sincerely” and your name. ⁉️Keep it short, keep it clear 👀- 100% free of any grammatical or spelling mistakes. Take advice this very seriously. 👀- Don’t use contractions, informal expressions or jargon 👀- Be polite, even if you’re angry and complaining 👍Summary of the article published on www.ludwig.guru 👣Follow @Business.HandBook for daily posts👣 Evgeny Rekling #business #handbook #BusinessHandbook #Rekling #businessmen #tipbusiness #formalletter #tip (at Radisson Royal Hotel, St. Petersburg)

✍️What Is Hype? 👉The problem: Most people don’t understand what hype really is. First, it helps to know that hype is simply a slang form of the word “hyperbole.” Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary defines hyperbole this way: “Exaggeration for effect, not to be taken literally. Example: This story is as old as time.” 👉The key to remember is this: Hype is deception. It is a promise without proof. Hype is then defined as: “Deception; especially, loud, exaggerated promotion or publicity.” Here’s other definition of hype: “Promise without Proof” 👉By this definition, it’s perfectly okay to be enthusiastic in sales or any persuasive medium — so long as there is proof to back up the claims. Without proof, claims are just hype. But with proof, a claim is justified. It becomes a legitimate promise a potential customer can expect to receive should he or she buy the product or service being advertised. ⁉️P.S. What are your thoughts?

✍️5 Tips to Improve on Email Marketing 👉1. No Lengthy Pleasantries The first important tip is to remove the lengthy pleasantries that you may be using at the start of your email. Remember, your recipient does not know you right now, and it would be absurd to find you exchanging pleasantries. It would be best if your email starts with a salutation and then directly addresses the recipient about your products and services. 👉2. Specific Message If you are general, then you will not receive a lot of response from your prospective clients. It is better to perform research about your email recipients and then send them a specific message. Specific messages allow the recipients to understand that you have excellent knowledge of the industry and you are willing to offer the best available services for your clients. 👉3. Offer Value Addition Make sure you understand the industry and provide the perspective of improvement to the recipients. You should ensure that they can learn that working with your company will improve their products and services by a considerable margin. 👉4. Never Show Desperation Your message should clearly represent that you are looking for a partnership and a way to significantly improve the set of services that are on offer. This can only happen when you can show that you know about the industry and are only focusing on professional benefits of the email recipients. 👉5. Call to Action A call to action is the part where you entice your receiver to take a relevant action that fulfills the purpose of your cold marketing effort. Call to actions should be discrete and allow the recipient to take advantage of your particular services in a transparent manner. 👍Summary of article published www.LinkedIn.com, author Rakesh Ghumatkar, Entrepreneur- Software Development, Lead Generation, Recruitments ⁉️Do you have any other ideas on how to improve Email Marketing?
