About Alex Nottingham, J.D., M.B.A.:

Depending on the country that you are from, feedback is perceived differently. In Japan, receiving feedback is welcomed and appreciated. In the U.S., however, people are very sensitive to the feedback from others.

When people are presented with information that is in conflict with their world view, they can often become defensive. This is because they perceive the information as a threat to what they are doing and who they are. Therefore, one must be very careful in providing feedback.

Because of the sensitivity of most people to getting feedback, we usually refrain from providing others feedback. This can be disastrous in a work environment. If good information is not provided, poor decisions can be made, which can ultimately diminish the company's bottom line.

Evolution of Media

Today's customer is becoming more sophisticated and requires additional input to make a decision. Company's must continually evolve to make an impression. Five years ago, just having a website was an advantage. Now, a website is common place.

To stand out, one must take the next step. The next step is to integrate multimedia into their website and marketing campaign. An excellent mechanism to accomplish this objective is an Electronic Press Kit.

Business email etiquette is essential in today's fast paced computer age. A great deal of communication, whether it be between an employee and a client, or employee-to-employee, is done via email. It is an effective way to have a conversation without having to take time out of the day to schedule a conference call, and it is also a means of having a documented conversation. This way, one can always refer back to the paper trail of what was said in the conversation.

It is also convenient for many business people who are always on-the-go because most cell phones have an email function. Now, people can simply go online with their phone to check their emails, and even post blogs and updates on their social networks.

Unfortunately, with the rapid growth of these social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace, people are quickly becoming accustomed to writing the same way that they would write on these websites, in an email. Slang, abbreviated words, overuse of inappropriate punctuation, and symbols, are only a few of the common misuses that people are committing in a business email.

One must remember that even though email seems more casual than a formal meeting or conversation, it is still work related and should be viewed in the same way. It will always make one seem more professional to have a well tailored and grammatically correct email. The email should be no different for work, then if you were composing a formal business letter.

Here are some helpful tips and points of what to-do, and what not-to-do when one composes a business email:

The Internet has become a major forum where customers can search for businesses that fit their interest. In order for a customer to find a business, that business must have a sufficient web exposure.  This is accomplished principally through a company's website.  However, just having a website is not necessarily enough. The search engines seek new/fresh content arranged in ways that most fit a particular search.  Therefore, for companies seeking to improve their web presence, they must improve their relevance among the search engines. One mechanism to improve search engine visibility is to post press releases to one's website and submit copies to various press release websites.  However, it is not the quantity of submissions, but rather the quality of the press release and the press release websites where one is submitting.

I was amazed how quickly the press releases showed up in my search results!  Now, my patients can find me in places my website was not competitive in.
