A majority of sales reps grapple with self-motivation on a regular basis. Even the most successful reps sometimes struggle to keep doing the little things that are critical to their success, so one can imagine the constant battle within for the average performers. Just one or two months of missing quota can rear its ugly head and gather negative momentum. The reps might begin to doubt themselves which of course leads to loss of confidence and self-belief. Furthermore automatic negative thoughts inside their head spurred by rejection and anxiety brings down their enthusiasm all together decreasing their overall chances of success.

Sales managers must dig deep to evaluate how their sales reps deal with motivation when they fail to hit their goals. It’s critical that the reps learn patience if they are not successful. Knowing their past history when things don’t go their way is also important. Emotions play a huge part in determining self-motivation. The sales manager should ask questions relating to the rep’s feelings and state of mind during past challenges. They must understand how the rep truly feels when he fails to meet his goals and connect the dots with prior behavioral patterns. Some struggling sales reps may become too overcome by past failures to push forward with the necessary enthusiasm.

It’s the nature of the beast that certain actions taken by senior management in the form of verbal warnings may further de-motivate the reps. It then becomes imperative for the sales manager to turn that negative action into positive by any means possible. One way to transfer the negative into a positive outcome is to connect the sales rep passion with his true motivation. Senior management can learn to create a positive environment that can fuel the rep’s creative juices to work his way out of the slump.

Creating a dental newsletter is a leading dental advertising technique, not only because it keeps the practice’s name regularly in front of current patients, but because a newsletter can increase referrals, increase brand awareness, create stronger practice/patient relationships, improve patient satisfaction and loyalty, and improve lifetime-value of clients. Read on to learn the top ten tips for creating your own dental advertising newsletter.

1. Do Your Research

A big blunder many people make is to just dive into making the dental advertising newsletter. It’s important to do your research – what kind of patients do you have? What is their main demographic? Who is the main decision maker in most households? You can also study newsletters from other dental practices and companies to get ideas on what type of newsletter you’d like to create.

2. Pick a Name

Instead of picking a generic name like “Dr. Smith’s Dental Newsletter,” be creative when choosing a name for your dental advertising newsletter. Clever names make the newsletter sound more fun to read and improve its marketability. Examples include: “Nothing but the Tooth,” “The Brush & Floss Daily News,” or the “Periodontal Periodical.” Have fun with it and your patients will too!

3. Avoid Advertorials

Although technically an advertising vehicle, your newsletter is should incorporate education and be informative to your patients. If the articles in your newsletter are well-written and personal, they will engage your clients and accomplish the goal of the newsletter – to create a stronger relationship with your patients.

4. Don’t Rely on the Internet

What exactly is risk management you ask? The International Standards Organization (ISO) describes it as, “the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks, followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events.” On the other hand, how it is defined can range among industries.

In the financial industry, it is focused on dealing with exposure to credit and market risk by identifying its origins, followed by contingency planning and hedging. From a global viewpoint, like climate change and economic stability of under developed countries for instance, unique principles may be needed. The underlying point I’m trying to get across is that risk management correlates with the context it’s being used in.

There are specific principles that pertain to more or less all industries. Such principles are considered the “foundation” of risk management. They encompass global view, communication, proactive approach, information, integration and continuous process.

Global view looks at viewing all risk holistically relative to the things taking place around the world. Communication represents communicating with all stakeholders to make certain a strong understanding is obtained on every aspect of the risk involved. This is really important since risks are generally perceived in a different way by each person. The proactive approach principle is very important on the grounds that risk management is designed to foresee and plan for risks before they come about.

The information principle refers to understanding pretty much everything there is to understand about a risk. This is imperative for knowing how to deal with it. Among the more challenging principles will be the integration principle. Risk management just isn’t something that should be managed separately; rather, it should be an important piece of the all around business. Strategies must be built into daily business operations to make certain risks are averted, mitigated and appropriately prepared for continually. The last principle is referred to as continuous process. This principle advises you don’t simply implement risk management processes and walk away. A risk manager should continually apply and evolve the strategic activities day-to-day.

Customs brokers can be absolutely essential if you are in any way involved with bringing any type of goods through customs. If you’re involved in the import or export business, put a qualified customs broker on speed dial, because you are going to be using their services a lot.

When you are involved in commercial import or export business, the amount of paperwork can be absolutely overwhelming. The amount of laws and restrictions can also be quite burdensome. Every single country has its own import and export laws that can be difficult to navigate, particularly if you are just starting out in the import or export business. Working with a professional customs broker can save you a great deal of hassle and potentially a great deal of money.

Customs brokers know the laws and regulations regarding trade with each individual country and can help you to navigate this often tricky territory. When you are working with a professional, you are more able to easily access the different regulations and customs of each country, because you are working with someone who knows the ins and outs of each body of legislation. Customs brokers will work with the preparation of any documents that you may need for importing or exporting to a certain country. They can also keep track of any electronic submission, receipts, or other online documents or files.

Professionals can also help you figure out and take care of any fees, taxes, excises, or duties that are required for any import or export to a certain country. This can save you potentially a great deal of money, because working with a professional means that you won’t be charged additional fees for breaking standard customs regulations, and can even keep you from running afoul of the laws of each country.
