You must have known that the current communication needs has almost become a primary need. I wish to add, maybe now there are four primary needs, clothing, food, shelter, and another communication. Communication media was already very much evolved if not arguably had the revolution. Enormity of such a communications revolution is (of course with tech support), not all phases can we tasted.
For example, some time ago (early 2000′s, even though it was not until 5 years ago), the data transfer technology GPRS class is very qualified, and still very rarely used it. Not until three years, has emerged data transfer technology that touted the 2.5 G EDGE alias. Not until two years later emerging 3G technologies are already carrying around a video-call capabilities. Phone and face to face action brings a new dimension in the activities perkomunikasian.
After all, his fate seemed no better than EDGE, because soon appear again 3.5 G technology with other names HSDPA / HSUPA that age does not seem too long because the alias WIMAX 4G technology are awaiting implementation. WIMAX which according to the calculation of the proportion of cost-benefit provides a more optimal will immediately make 3G devices become obsolete. Need impairment? Possibly, but we enjoy it while it was 3.5 G and 3G services before the time runs out.
Back to the topic of problems, communication with tech support it was also causing a shift in the pattern of personal and corporate approach. Public Relations is said to now have a more powerful force than marketing. Seminar on “how to” his public relations in order to anticipate not only the sidekick of marketing but a new hero has been and still are often held. Self-actualization became the most powerful weapon to get closer to the environment. Method of self-or corporate selling-selling through the media that were the target would provide better feedback and targeted.
So what to do with horizontal marketing? Actually horizontal marketing terminology itself is more based on the fact that today the world is getting flat. Why flat? Because in reality with the help of media dissemination such as facebook, twitter, Multiply, Yuwie and others, almost no communication restrictions associated with geographical factors. Although not new, because the media chat has been around since the early 1990s with the presence of mIRC and ICQ, yet with the presence of such media facebook is able to provide a better interactive experience between one member and another, more able to “average” right world.
In one facebook account, for example, may be someone in Indonesia had a number of friends in various countries, share experiences, and with other mediation exchanging photos, files, etc.. Well it’s new facebook account alone, if he also has a twitter account with a different friend anymore? The true extent of his multiplier effect? It is difficult to measure, but in fact the mailing list more and more popping up, the forums on the internet packed with a bunch of different discussion topics, call it want a discussion about any container available. Even some forums like kafemotor.com, ogled by the car manufacturers are often two-wheeled vehicles to collect customer information that could be the basis of improvement of their products.
So if you want more simple, without wanting to stare at the horizontal definition of marketing itself, marketing is actually more horizontal approach to how a party is able to communicate themselves or their products widely, and how to follow up on feedback from the communication. target communication is also highly dependent on the type of product and segment targeted.
Concrete example is the Harley-Davidson, motorcycle manufacturing company that the name alone has been felt its exclusive air. The bike is worth hundreds of millions of dollars have thousands of fans scattered around the world. How can they become fanatics? Because of the Harley-Davidson is very concerned that they give feedback, HD is very concerned with what customers want. HD even contributed to build and give full support to the HD motorcycle clubs around the world. In addition to generating fanaticism, the ownership of an HD motorcycle provides a sense of self-actualization that is second to none. Why? Because they feel that they have a motorcycle as if it was made just for them. Exclusive right?
And of course, this fanaticism is rooted in the HD itself which provides such great opportunities to its customers to customize the bike. Highly customized bike is then mass produced after receiving a “green light” from its customers. Here is a very important role horizontal marketing, customers are actively involved from the planning, production process, finishing, maybe even get to the product distribution.
By the time the product reaches the customer, almost no complaints from customers since the beginning they had been involved.
Of the horizontal method of marketing is not necessarily applicable to all manufacturing industries, because not all suitable to apply such methods of customer engagement. For the consumer goods manufacturing industry, remains more appropriate to apply the concept of vertical marketing. They perform the production process in end to end from start R & D to distribution, then perform the necessary campaign to educate the customer, either through the media above the line and below the line.
In the end, the application of horizontal or vertical marketing marketing will bring back the debate about the cost-benefits. But the method of self-actualization, as well as mentioned above can still be applied any marketing methods that are applied. Web 2.0 era not only in sight, but it happens. Hundreds of thousands of people in the world already has a personal blog, then why only a handful of companies that looked at corporate blogs as a medium of self-actualization? Blog provides flexibility for companies to get in touch with their environment through the grammar should not be formal.
Building a corporate image not only have to go through a formal language / language of the gods that it was a cause difficulty for the same perception.
So want horizontal or vertical, not individuals or institutions, not individuals or companies, like social or commercial, the importance of self-actualization through communication with any media remains fundamental.

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.

Strong communication is critical in any type of business situation. It is vitally important to spend the time planning, as much as you spend the time executing the communication. Remember that every interaction is a chance to make a good impression. Whether you are writing an email, leaving a voice message, presenting an important topic or writing a deck/presentation, it is important to follow some easy steps to ensure that you are on the right path of success.

1. Determine your goal(s) or objective(s).
a. What do you want to convey?
b. Are you trying to sell something or influence someone?
c. How are you going to know if you were successful?
TIP – all communication should have a goal, figure out what your goal is.

2. Understand the audience/client, etc.
a. Who is the audience?
b. What does the audience care about?
c. What may be their objections? How are you going to handle that?
d. Why should the company or internal resource care about what you are saying?
TIP – Google the company/organization and search the person on LinkedIn. You will get great feedback and understand a lot about the audience.

3. Draft your communication.
a. What will it say?
b. How long should it be?
c. What will it look like?
d. What is your money page? This is the page that holds all of the key information to influence your audience.
TIP – draft out your slides on a blank piece of paper or whiteboard. This way you can think strategically about what you are doing.
TIP 2 – if communicating via email, keep it short and to the point. Draft your email THEN type in the email addresses, this will ensure you don’t hit send by accident. Highlight key points you want the reader to review.

Every Country in the world has its own culture and value base. The changing face of the world’s economy has seen some of the most successful Countries of the 20th Century in danger of losing their economic stronghold in the 21st.

China for example has found itself in the midst of social, economic and cultural changes; it now stands second in the league for richest countries. English language levels in this country are quite sketchy. Mandarin is the most common language as well as the official dialect, the aid of a translator is necessary to avoid misunderstandings and mistranslations.

It is important when dealing with other cultures, to recognise that, your own culture and sense of identity can have an impact on your approach to work and business later in life. It would be prudent to do some research on any culture you may be working with.

When dealing with colleagues or clients from a different culture, you need to know your own approach to culture and the approach of the other culture. This should form part of your business strategy or structure; most people conform to a certain national business culture, in order to spot differences you will need to be able to communicate effectively, the services of a translator or interpreter should be a prime consideration.

As we are already aware, communication problems do not arise solely due to the fact that people speak different languages, other factors can make cross culture communication difficult. For example what one culture feels to be a very positive communications style, can be seen as downright rude by another culture. Misreading a situation because of differing communication styles is bad for business.

Do you use the snack or full meal approach when it comes to your ministry marketing? I often encounter passionate leaders so enthused about “what they do” and how they “help the world around them” that they overload their audience with information in their marketing.

I liken it to being served a five-course meal when all I needed was a light snack. When marketing your ministry are you taking the snack or full-meal approach? Your response could be the reason you are missing the mark when it comes to marketing your ministry.

Here are my Top 3 reasons snacks are always BEST when marketing your ministry:

1. Snacks are enjoyable and easy-to-digest.

Your ministry marketing should serve as a simple way for your audience to have an enjoyable encounter with your service, product or offering.

2. Snacks are appealing and desirous.

When was the last time you thought “Oh man, so I have to eat ANOTHER snack?” If that’s what your audience thinks when they see your email, postcard, or other forms of ministry marketing-it’s time to revisit your marketing strategies.

3. Healthy Snacks are meant to prepare you for the meal-not replace it.

Does your ministry marketing prepare your audience for their next step? Like snacks, your ministry marketing messages should serve as a bridge between the meals your ministry offers. Random messages with no clear call to action, sporadic event promotions, and inconsistent communication with your audience are akin to serving junk food at your banquet table. These types of messages are sure ways to create an unhealthy relationship with those who can benefit from what you have to offer.
