One of the UKs experts in business development coaching and training has encouraged SMEs not to dwell on the down-beat economic news, but to increase their focus on business growth and gaining market share in 2013.

To combat this, Rainmaker Coaching have launched a new Business Development Program for businesses who want to grow, but don’t know how. The program shows businesses how to leverage their current staff and resources and focus them on sales and growth.

The business development training from Rainmaker is not just a course on how to efficiently sell; it is a series of workshops giving the opportunity for businesses to discover how to take their firm to the next level in 2013, focusing their marketing efforts where it really counts and throwing off time restraints to induce real development across the entire company.

Rob Biggin, Managing Director of Rainmaker Coaching said, Business development is about making everyone in your company aware of and focused on growing current customer accounts. So this is not just a job for the sales team or the CEO, it is one for the engineers, the surveyors, the project managers, the customer service team, etc. There are few activities that can turn 2013 into a super successful year better than a business development programme can.

Rainmaker Coaching has helped businesses of all sizes and industries to implement a full programme that helps all parts of the organisation come together to grow revenues. While any business must make increase revenues to survive, the real task of a business development coach is work with the business teams to articulate a tangible vision for this progress and growth to be achievable and sustained. This work involves the teams in identifying high-potential current clients where the business has landed but not expanded. At the same time working out how to save time to re-invest in business development activities by determining what is and isnt working for the business. Our business development workshops are designed to help clients build a strong foundation for the year ahead and after the session, additional support is always available by phone and email. Our expert coaches check in by telephone to ensure that the plans and changes they have implemented are being carried out and succeeding. Coaching of this type is an area often neglected by SMEs which means there is bags of potential to make definite headway, define a clear plan of action and see measureable results.

Outsourcing business development coaching and training has numerous advantages over simply providing it in-house, the main one is that someone with an experienced and independent eye can decipher exactly which areas need improving without being swayed by inner loyalties. Bringing in an expert in business development training allows MDs and CEOs to better identify the opportunities which have the highest potential, as well as teaching all members of client facing staff how to develop strategies into action plans and ensure maximum profits. An outside professional can help to evaluate a business strongest areas in an unbiased manner, helping to develop the people skills and processes that together deliver better results.

Another advantage of bringing in a seasoned professional to assist in the coaching and training of all staff is that they take a more holistic view of the business. They will get the team to look at their skills, what knowledge they have of their clients, industry and issues, what motivational issues impact on them, what time demands and other environmental issues prevent successful business development today.

While clearly not meant to start a new fashion trend, Googles most recent high tech smart shoes innovation, as reported in the Living Section of this Wednesdays NY Daily News, is seen as sign of more technical demand by shoe manufacturing expert, Winnie Peng of Shoe-Manufacturer.com.

The launch of Googles new Smart Shoes will certainly raise the bar for incorporating high-tech electronics in footwear, says Peng.

Peng continues:

While there has been the incorporation of small electronic devices for years, especially for kids sneakers, of with flashing lights and little push-button recordings, the idea of adding gyroscopes, pressure sensors and accelerometers to footwear represents new challenges for shoe manufacturers.

As Google has demonstrated, it isnt impossible to go high tech with devices in shoes, but, unfortunately, many shoe factories would prefer to stick to producing just what they are used to making and are reluctant to try new manufacturing methods, but sometimes its better to go ahead and take the time to work out difficult design challenges because that can make a company better prepared for the future..

At Shoe-Manufacturer.com, a willingness to work with our designer clients on unusual projects is part of what makes us rather unique as most footwear manufacturers prefer to avoid accepting orders that are out of the ordinary.

We are fortunate to have a staff with more advanced shoe-tech skills than average who can actually work with innovative designs to produce more specialized footwear.

Examples of innovations our Athletic Shoes Division has taken on include clear-toed sneakers for Toesys of New York, all Velcro-type shoes for games, specialized Feestyle Footbag sports shoes for Nucleus Footwear and, on the Traditional Footwear side, high heels with removable heels, sandals with inter-changeable uppers, double-heel high heels, special covers for high heels that slip on over the shoe to give a totally new look for Slip-Ons Collection and a super-high platform shoe that received raves at the Australian Fashion Week and was even worn on stage by Lady Gaga.

Though certainly more time consuming and complicated than conventional shoe manufacturing, taking on these innovations is always a challenge that can lead to new production approaches and more choice for the consumer.

We congratulate Google for its thought provoking internet-connected shoes, as featured in todays NY Daily News Living section of the NY Daily News section and hope it will renew interest in more high-tech, innovative footwear.”

Middle school teens can be hard to buy for at Christmas. It has to be the right size, the right color and it exactly what the other kids have. Or, theres always money. But Michelle Icard of MichelleintheMiddle.com uncovers the coolest gift ideas to surprise the pickiest tween with the perfect gift.

To find the best ideas, Icard polled the coolest, smartest kids around, interns from her Athenas Path and Heros Pursuit leadership programs. Icard empathizes with anyone trying to please a middle schooler. Middle school teens dont often know what they want or are not good a communicating it. It makes being the gift detective a little stressful.

Here are their suggestions:

FOR GIRLS

1) Boots. Cowboy boots are hot right now, but super expensive. This great looking Madden Girl pair is on the cheap for $ 59 at Zappos. Ugg boots have had a long run but they are still popular. This year the Classic Cardy style is big.

2) A colorful cell phone case. Icard loves the color scheme of the pink and orange Kate Spade iPhone case available at Nordstrom for $ 40.

3) Scarves. One intern reported, I have seen a lot of scarves around. That would make a great gift! The hot fashion color right now is crimson-y shades of red. Also note that The Pantone Institute has just released its pick for the trendiest color of 2013: emerald green.

4) Family games. One intern said, Just Dance 4 is great. My entire family loves the game! Or try the board game Awkward Family Photos. It had my whole family laughing!

5) Lastly, Urban Outfitters has loads of fun lightweight items to inspire and entertain. The “My Future Listography” journal is cute and lists topics like Good Deeds to Perform, Habits to Break and even quirky ones like Events to Time Travel To.

FOR BOYS: Boys can be hard to shop for. They hardly ever tell you what theyre thinking! says Icard.

1) Something to go with their electronics. I got an iPad for my birthday, so headphones are at the top of my Christmas list, one high school boy reveals. Beats Headphones by Dr. Dre are an investment at $ 200, but all the rage.

2) The latest Mario game for Xbox or Wii. Madden 13 is rated E and is a big hit now. Halo 4 and Call of Duty: Black Ops II are newly released but are rated M.

3) Books that arent school books. So I can have something to do over break. So many to choose from! Visit GoodReads.com for a list of books boys love. “Chasing Lincolns Killer” is a great book, particularly following the movie, Lincoln. Keep in mind the new “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book just came out, too.

4) Hats are a guys best accessory. Among middle schoolers, they are the most socially acceptable way for a guy to express his unique style and he doesnt have to brush his hair! Flat billed hats, much to my dismay, have become very popular, reports Icard.

5) Socks. Seriously. Who would have thought socks would become such a status symbol for boys? Nike Elites are on every boys list this year. Shop early, says Icard. I hear they are selling out. Really.

6) Hoodies. Most boys cant have enough. Cafepress is a great website to create custom clothing. Surprise your son by ordering a hoodie with his favorite slogan.

Of course, there are always gift cards. The perfect size and color. Happy shopping!

About Michelle in the Middle: Michelle Icard writes MichelleintheMiddle.com, a humorous but helpful blog with tips and information for parents with middle school teens. She is the creator of Athena’s Path and Hero’s Pursuit, leadership curriculum for middle school teens.
