Hire Seniors

If you’re having trouble finding top talent for your small business, give seniors a try. They bring experience developed from years in the workforce. They’re more likely to stay on the job and less likely to job-hop than younger employees. For businesses with a base of older customers, seniors offer identification with your clients. Learn more about hiring seniors in the free Success Skills Seminar “The Looming Labor Crisis.” It’s online now at http://www.entrepreneurialconnection.com/skills/module29/skills_home.asp. Topics include:

• The race for workers

• Boomers to the rescue

• Senior workers on the job

• Training for all ages

• Finding the workers you need

Outdoor Home Office

Spring is in the air. Use the warm weather as an excuse to escape the walls of your home office. But be productive, too. Here are four ways:

1. Use your cell phone to return calls while you lounge leisurely on a park bench.

2. Schedule a client lunch at a café with an outdoor patio.

3. Take your laptop computer to the backyard and soak up some sun while reviewing your prospect list.

4. Grab a notepad. Go for a walk around the neighborhood. Make notes about new marketing ideas.
