Helping Clients Ease into the New Year

Greetings all,



It's been a while since I was last on the Find Virtual site and I must say....it looks different. Wow!!

Working with Gen-Y Clients

One of the best things a solo practitioner or virtual professional can do is to build a strong base of younger clients. Why? Because if you gain their trust and loyalty early on, you may have a client for many years to come. And though they are still fairly young, they are far more likely to strike out on their own because they’ve lived through the era of mass corporate layoffs.

Here we are, in full swing of the holiday season. You may be in panic mode because you realize you have a little over a week left for shopping. Or you may be chill because everyone is covered. Regardless, our North American culture sees this time of year as one of closure as we ramp up for 2010.

Continuing along those lines, and equally important to your website, a blog will also require a bit of SEO (search engine optimization), carefully chosen keywords and tags, as well as, listings with directories and indexes such as Technorati, StumbleUpon, or Digg, just to mention a few.

How is testing affected by object-oriented designs? info shared

Well-engineered object-oriented design can make it easier to trace from code to internal design to functional design to requirements.
