1 - A Match Made in Heaven: Make Your Business Relationships Last
We all seek that forever partner – in our personal lives, of course, but also in our professional lives, with a customer or supplier, for example. But as with any relationship, a lasting one is both tricky to find and difficult to maintain.

Such relationships are possible, and the good news is that you don’t even have to have the lowest price to make them last. In fact, it’s not about price – your prices can be higher than your competitor’s when you have the advantage of a long-term relationship.

Yes, you read that right. Read more

8 - If You Can See It, You Can Brand It
Successful branding takes a product, service or company beyond market share. What your customers see, hear and experience with your brand becomes what your brand stands for.

If you have a product or service that is tangible, visible or measurable, it is easy to make it sell. You can help prospective customers relate it to the five senses.

But what would you do for a product or service that cannot be packaged physically or can only be viewed in a cluttered marketplace?
