Many people ask: Whats new in marketing? What can I do thats different? They want to find some breakthrough tactic that will lead to spectacular marketing results.The truth is, there are very few marketing tactics. The key to marketing success is how you execute the tried-and-true tactics we all know: direct mail/response, advertising, web page development and so forth. You must execute, do it well and do it consistently.Instead of peering around every corner for the next marketing big idea, youd be better off spending your time and energy reviewing your firms current marketing programs to see how you can better carry out what youre already doing. How can you leverage your efforts so that they have greater impact and give you more bang for your buck?To answer that, you need to conduct an audit of your marketing. I suggest you begin by moving from the outside in. Look at the first impression prospective clients or customers get about your operation. Are your phones answered in a professional manner?

That's not to say that there's anything wrong with your colleagues (let's think positive, after all) but in any situation with a number of very different people (and we are all different) all trying to achieve a single goal there is bound to be some friction sooner or later.So what form might this 'difficulty' take? Maybe it's a disagreement over strategy, or someone is blaming you for a mistake, or somebody promised you more than they can deliver or maybe it's just someone who is always late for a regular meeting. It could be something very trivial but we often see it as 'difficult' behaviour because of how it makes us feel: undermined, annoyed, put-upon, frustrated or let down. In the modern, pressured workplace such feelings can take on great significance and start to erode our job satisfaction. However, let's look at this more positively. After all, such 'difficulties' are inevitable, it is how we deal with them that counts...Here are a few questions to ask yourself (in no particular order) the next time you are faced with a difficult colleague:* Does it matter?
