How To Get A Response To Your Emails Every day in every way, I'm getting better and better! So someone said. As for me, getting better in every way is much too dramatic. I'd rather think that I made progress in some small way once in a while. I am getting better in one aspect of my life thanks to attending a class at the NACM Credit Congress in St. Louis. The class was put on by Karen E. Purves of Innovative Impact. She spoke on how to write and format emails that get responses. She called it, "Response Ability." The science behind this subject is fascinating and often counter-intuitive more... |

The Right Questions?? Recently I was approached by a colleague fearful that his reputation might be on the line due to an incorrect answer he had given to senior management. As we reviewed the scenario and all the facts leading up to the answer this individual had provided, we came to a realization that it wasn't necessarily an incorrect answer, rather, it was a failure to ask the right questions. Had certain inquiries been made at the time the information was requested, an entirely different and more appropriate response would have ultimately been given. more... |

Career or Job? Often people use the words "career" and "job" interchangeably, but they are two different things. A job is something a person does as a means to an end . . . something you do in the short term to earn cash. A career is a long-term pursuit of a lifelong ambition - often a professional choice. Another definition, "Passion is the difference between a career and a job." more... |

Diary of a Crazed Credit Manager . . . as we stepped from the car we could hear him yelling at one of his workers, and not in a polite manor. John and I headed in his direction and that's when he picked a wrench the size of Thor's hammer, and was coming at us fast. He looked like a bull charging at a matador and all I could think of was I hope my insurance covers this. . . more... |
