Hiring and Retaining Employees Part IIIn Part I of this article, we covered 4 key points to proper hiring and retention. Now we'll look at the second 4. Google PageRank Calculator ToolHere's another neat little tool on the Web that I've been putting to good use. It's called ThinkBling, and it's a Google PageRank calculator. Sales & Marketing-Is a direct or indirect approach best? Part iThere are so many different options within the direct vs. indirect argument. Should You License Your Technology?So when should you license your technology to other companies? This can be a complicated question, since I always say "no one sells your product like you do." Direct Email--Good or Evil?One of the most misunderstood tools in the Marketer's Bag of Tricks is direct email. There's good reason for it, of course. Everyone hates SPAM! I expect that even the most evil, notorious spammers of the world have SPAM filters on their personal email accounts. Free Search Engine Optimization ToolsAs I run across tools and websites that I find particularly useful for software and high tech companies, I like to pass them along. Press Relations Best PracticesAmong the potential ingredients for the marketing mix of a high tech company, Press Relations is high on my list. There's a good reason for it. Strategic PartnershipsForming Partnerships, or Strategic Alliances, is one of the key elements that make up the business development function in technology companies. I believe that alliances are underutilized, in many ways. Conceived and executed properly, alliances can greatly extend the partner companies reach in the marketplace. Distribution Channel ConflictAs I've been reading the trade magazines recently, I've paid particular attention to the channel magazines. A big story for several months has been the change in leadership at HP, since Mark Hurd took over as CEO from Carly Fiorina. What does this have to do with channel conflict? Layoffs and BureaucracyA while back Id been reading the stories on the last major layoff at HP, and it really struck a nerve. HP announced that week that they are going to reduce their workforce by 14,500 people over the next 18 months.
