Business Praise 43. Finance – Tax
It’s tax time. Income tax, corporate tax, sales tax, FBT, GST, etc. And the more subtle points, Concessions, rebates, credits, minimisation. And the rorts – evasion, etc. Money – going out! The price to be paid for being part of society. Lord, this is an area where a businessman can be tempted. Help me to […]
Business Praise 29. Growth – Sales Team
The Sales teams are the front line of our business, People with energy and strong interpersonal skills, Representing the rest of us in direct customer contact.

Business Praise 14. People – Joining Up
Our new starter was so excited, The first day of her working life – a new graduate. New clothes too, with student denims set aside. We took her to lunch to welcome her into the team. Energy made up for lack of experience, But that came quickly as skills were passed on and shared. Now […]

I need a coffee break, Lord, At least I think I do. Perhaps I just need a break, To walk around a bit and do something different, To “smell the roses”! I am in the middle of a report and my mind seems a bit stale. Is it really coffee I need? Am I that […]

Business Praise 5. Customers – Continuity Of Supply
People count on us for availability of product. We promise and expect 24-hour delivery time. It takes a bit of planning especially during the vacation season, Or when our suppliers have their own problems. Sometimes there is short stock and we need to juggle customers. We get it right most of the time. You are […]
