Great Way To Sell Useless Products And Make Money: Online Auction    Submitted as: Generally in an auction, purchaser is allowed to p
Generally in an auction, purchaser is allowed to place a bid on an item on the amount that he is willing to pay so that he can buy that item. The person who makes the highest bid usually ends up with the item, and the same way reverse auction is a sales term that describes a scenario whereby buyers post free ads for a product or service, and suppliers bid to fulfill that need. As opposed to an auction, prices only go down where one is entitled to post free ads to sell useless and junk materials in order to make money in a profitable and convenient way. An online reverse auction is also called procurement auction, e-auction, sourcing event or e-source. It is a tool used in industrial business-to-business procurement. Reverse auction is a type of auction in which the role of the buyer and seller are reversed, with the primary objective to drive purchase prices downward. In an ordinary auction (also known as a forward auction), buyers compete to obtain goods or services. In a reverse auction, sellers compete to obtain business. In a typical auction, the seller puts an item up for sale. Multiple buyers bid for the item, and one or more of the highest bidders buy the goods at a price determined at the conclusion of the bidding. Online auction is done on internet for any products and services. Online auction is the most easy and relevant type of auction which is easy to use and that can be operated from anywhere by anybody, this is convenient for those who want to sell or buy the items or property or anything. In the online auction people bid for products, things, and rights or authority.

Online reverse auction gives options for garden and home appliances shopping that will keep people up-to-date with the latest computers and technologies.

7 Management Training Rules For Effective Feedback    Submitted as: One of the key questions asked on any management t
One of the key questions asked on any management training course is ‘how do I motivate my staff? All too often managers feel that the only way to motivate staff is through money, nothing can be further from the truth. Using feedback skills taught on many management training courses will definitely help to motivate your staff and it costs nothing only learning good management skills. Immediate, that is a vital word to think of when giving feedback. The most powerful form of feedback is when it is given immediately. I always think of the ‘wait till your father gets home syndrome' it is pointless chastising a child a week after the event. Feedback should be immediate or at least as soon as possible Privacy is another thing to remember. Feedback to correct a problem should be done in private. You do not want to embarrass any staff member in front of their peers. I know this sounds so obvious but once again many Managers will use this as a tactic to scare other staff members Specific is vital, the whole purpose of giving feedback is to ensure that the person can learn from it and do something about it. I was on a management training course recently and some one offered feedback on a colleague’s presentation. The feedback was 'well I thought you looked nervous' when the colleague questioned why they felt he looked nervous the other person had no response. That is not feedback that is just a comment that will not help the individual in any shape or form. Support is critical, if you provide feedback to try and correct a problem, do not be negative or displeased. Instead, show that you are confident in the staff member ability to correct the problem next time. Words are important so be careful. Receiving feedback can be scary and intimidating for a staff member or, it can be particularly motivating. Until you know how each member of your staff responds to feedback, choose your words carefully. Ask questions. Ask the staff member specific questions that will help you to understand their performance ability. For example, Stan, I have noticed that the duration of you calls has increased by over 20%. What is it that you have been doing differently? All too often I see on management training courses managers who have yet to master the skills of questioning and listening Differing personalities, Odds are there are going to be staff whose personalities do not click. Unless it is disruptive to the staff, you should not give feedback on personality, just on job performance. Finally be positive and try to end on a positive note. Most management training courses will tell you that feedback should be like a McDonalds beef burger and the roll should be the positives whilst the hamburger should be the negative. More and more Managers who go on management training courses are getting better at delivering feedback, but we all still have a long way to go to get it right every time.(read entire article)

Time Management Training Courses - How Can We Get More Time?    Submitted as: So its nine o’clock, time to start work but before
So its nine o’clock, time to start work but before you can even see the computer there are yellow stickies, pink stickies, scraps of paper with scribbles and numbers and memos. This is when you start thinking to yourself I really should have attended that time management training course. These are your to do lists yet where are you supposed to start? You have left work the evening before feeling guilty for not completing your tasks but how are you supposed to get these done with all the interruptions that you are faced with throughout the day. That Time management training course definitely may not have produced more time but it definitely would have helped me to manage my time effectively helping me to maintain a balance between my professional and social life. We are not super humans; we can not find the time to do everything. However what we can do is manage our time so that we can prioritise our tasks and activities in a manner of importance and urgency, this can allow us to do the doable. As stated above to do lists are messy and as they say on time management courses that’s actually ok as they are full of tasks that may get done and if they don’t that’s ok too as long as they are prioritised. Simply do not rewrite your to do list that’s just a waste of your time and poor time management. Do you often find yourself saying oh yes I will do that mind-numbing, long, tiresome report as soon as.……well, this is a statement that should not have been coined as it prevents you from doing the task that is important, you will have to do it at some point so get stuck into it, you will then have great relief in crossing off your to do list. When do you feel at your overall best during the day, morning, afternoon, lunchtime or your last hour? You need to become aware of this in order for you to manage your time and fulfil your maximum working potential in that time, if managed correctly you could complete up to 3 or 4 different tasks. In today’s society we are interrupted on average every 6-9 minutes, by what you may ask, oh I don’t know, could it by any chance be by junk e-mails, texts, telephone calls, social networking sites or you-tube? After these controllable or uncontrollable interruptions it will take 4-5 minutes to obtain your concentration again. It was said on a recent time management training course that each week we lose 5 hours work time through losing our momentum after we get interrupted. Is it therefore any wonder that we moan about our time management and are left aggravated and feeling as though we have achieved very little through the working day? Consequently we could all use a little extra time as well as some time management training, you can find out how to gain this through effective time management courses which will be valuable to you in your professional work and social life.(read entire article)

Unfortunately, more serious matters can be the reason for an electrical contractor’s presence. The following article addresses tips to help avoid electrical problems and facilitate safety within a home. The obvious electrical precautions The “obvious” may be just that to most, but sometimes, even the most commonsensical precautions elude us. - Check all outlets for wear and tear. Loose outlets, broken plates, and unplugged outlets in the presence of small children is to be avoided at all times. - Under no circumstance, should electrical cords be frayed, split, or cracked. - Do not overload extension cords or “piggybank” multiple extensions upon one another. - Never attempt to “force” a plug into an outlet. If it does not seem to fit, the endeavor needs to cease. - Fasten light bulbs into sockets in a secure manner. Loose-fitting bulbs are targets for overheating. - Try to keep all electrical devices away from water outlets (kitchen, bathrooms). Unplug devices not in use. - Electric-powered tools should not be used during rainfall, on wet grass, or around moist, outdoor furniture or landscape. The not-so-obvious electrical precautions - Don’t attempt to puncture electrical cords, place them under rugs, or arrange them around furniture. - Extension cords are for temporary purposes, they are not to be used as a permanent, outlet solution. This is a major reason for a number of electrical contractor visits. - Do not attempt to “modify” a plug (squeezing the prongs closer together, stretching them apart, or eliminating a third prong in order to fit the outlet). - Light bulbs must be of appropriate wattage for their fixture. A bulb of a higher wattage than warranted can be hazardous. - If an appliance or electrical device routinely influences circuit breakers or fuses, get it repaired or replaced. - Routinely check the backside of entertainment centers for worn wires and wear in the structure of the equipment. - Do not take a shower/bath, use electrical appliances (kitchen, bathroom), or use the telephone during an electrical storm.(read entire article)

How Can Management Training Courses Help Me Deal With Poor Performance?    Submitted as: How frustrating, here you are managing a team of p
How frustrating, here you are managing a team of people and yet you are held back from achieving your goals. On management training courses all over the country trainers are asked 'how can I deal with poor performance?' Well the truth is it is not all that difficult, probably the most difficult part is finding the time to sit down with the individual and agree goals which are acceptable to you but are also achievable and realistic to the staff member. The other difficulty is that once you have done this how do you monitor it and ensure the staff member is on track, once again this takes time and effort on your part. The key to improving performance is to agree a performance improvement plan with the staff member and see it through to the end. You must agree the performance standards with the individual and the agree goals that can be achieved. When it comes to agreeing goals we should always remember the goal should stand up to the acronym SMART which means the following: Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time Framed Before you let the staff member off to achieve the goals you have agreed you must ask one important question, the question is 'what can you think of which might get in the way of you achieving the goal?' This is known as removing the barriers, and is one area where many managers fall down. In Management training courses we learn that you must cut off any areas that will stop some one from performing. The other thing is it is a little like a football match you are better off to know the barriers before the kick off than to learn about the problems with only two minutes of the game left. If you know of the barriers before you can do something about them. Once you have removed any barriers the next step is to support and encourage the staff member to achieve the goal. You must put in place a monitoring system to check that the staff member is on course. Remember the saying that is said in Management training courses all over the country 'what gets checked gets done' A skill that is difficult to teach in management training is the skill of judgement and you have to make a judgement on whether this person has achieved the goal or not achieved the goal. At this stage you should be thinking of the three Rs that is, do I Retain this person, do I Retrain this person or do I Replace this person. There is no doubt that improving performance is not easy but with good management training courses you can develop the skills to put you ahead of the rest(read entire article)
