The Art of the Business Card

A few weeks ago I was in Charlotte to make a speech for Network Solutions, and I met Justin Ruckman. He handed me his business card--which I just loved.

If you want Justin to make business cards for you, his site is here.

Re: HOw to market a B2B consulting company Re: HOw to market a B2B consulting company - [quote="zohahunt77":428owzbi]Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me the difference between B2B and B2C. I don’t know about b2b marketing but I have done marketing so know things about it. I will suggest you to take online services which will spread your business all over web network. Online marketing is the best way to market any business.[/quote:428owzbi] B2B = Business to Business - You are marketing to other businesses. B2C = Business to Consumer - You are marketing to consumers.
English teachers learn Japanese as Interns English teachers learn Japanese as Interns - Yasunori, what about the many students that leave N. America to teach English in Japan. They may want to learn Japanese (maybe Business Japanese is a bit different) and the Japanese Business Culture.
Immigration Immigration - Hi Takuya, Here is an idea. An English guy married an American girl over five years ago in Maryland. His spouse came to England for just over four years. They had two children. Then last summer they decided to go back to Maryland to live. He is still waiting for the Green Card. He says, that he cannot leave the US. If he did he would have a big problem to re-enter the US or even not be able to do so. What would happen, if suddenly his in-law died and he wanted to return to the UK. This is hyperthetical, but what if it would be real? Kindest Regards Beat "Unlock People's Potentials!"
