8 Mistakes Packaging Buyers Often Make!

SEE THIS LIST OF MISTAKES BUYERS LIKE YOU OFTEN MAKE!!

1. Buying too soon.
Many order too soon when they dont need material yet...Please ask me about our VMI program...you can have an expert take inventory and automatically order just in time rather than over buying!!
rand new businesses can usually get by on bare-bones equipment and upgrade as needed. A good rule of thumb: if you’re not going to use it tomorrow, don’t buy it–you might not really need it in the future.

2. “Bargains” that aren’t.
PBuyers like you sometimes fall prey to the allure of a low price...which...many times is too good to be true!! it usually is!!

3. Impulse buys.
Don’t get talked into a purchase by an overzealous salesperson, or go on a new office furniture spending spree because you’re frustrated with your same old surroundings. Smart business owners only make strategic purchases.
 
4. Skimping on research.
You should know a few basics before you start to shop: your price range, your basic requirements, the names of a few vendors, and how long the purchasing process usually takes. Don’t waste your time contacting vendors that only offer services for big companies if you’re a small business. An educated consumer is our best customer!!

5. Being a know-it-all.
While research is great, getting your heart set on a particular technology or product isn’t always a good idea- you might miss out on an offering that’s better suited for your business. Be open to suggestions, even if you have a fairly firm idea of what you want.
 
6. Buying based on price alone. 
The cheapest product or service isn’t always the best- or even the cheapest! For example, many payroll services vendors charge a very low per-check fee, but then add charges on for changing employee information or performing mandatory payroll tax deposits. Evaluate all costs to make sure you’re really getting a deal.
7. Not considering long-run costs.
Many business necessities can be leased or hosted (software, voip phone systems equipment, etc.) instead of purchased. This might cut down on the initial outlay, but will be more expensive overall. For example, many credit card processing companies sell processing terminals for a few hundred dollars, or lease them for $20/month or more- buying is clearly the better bargain in such cases.

8. Overextending yourself.
Even if a specific purchase is absolutely necessary, it might be out of your current price range. Overextending yourself is never a good idea- try buying a cheaper version that can be upgraded or even traded in as your business grows.
The most successful business owners know that good judgment and common sense can go a long way- Only buy what you need, do your homework, and don’t spend to your limits. Remember, a “good deal” is a purchase you’re satisfied with, no matter how much the actual cost.

Remember....measure twice and cut once!!

Here are ways you can be more charismatic!!

Some people instantly make us feel important. Some people instantly make us feel special. Some people light up a room just by walking in.
We can't always define it, but some people have it: They're naturally charismatic.
Unfortunately, natural charisma quickly loses its impact. Familiarity breeds, well, familiarity.
But some people are remarkably charismatic: They build and maintain great relationships, consistently influence (in a good way) the people around them, consistently make people feel better about themselves--they're the kind of people everyone wants to be around...and wants to be.
Fortunately we can, because being remarkably charismatic isn't about our level of success or our presentation skills or how we dress or the image we project--it's about what we do.
Here are the 10 habits of remarkably charismatic people:
1. They listen way more than they talk.
Ask questions. Maintain eye contact. Smile. Frown. Nod. Respond--not so much verbally, but nonverbally.
That's all it takes to show the other person they're important.
Then when you do speak, don't offer advice unless you're asked. Listening shows you care a lot more than offering advice, because when you offer advice in most cases you make the conversation about you, not them.
Don't believe me? Who is "Here's what I would do..." about: you or the other person?
Only speak when you have something important to say--and always define important as what matters to the other person, not to you.
2. They don't practice selective hearing.
Some people--I guarantee you know people like this--are incapable of hearing anything said by the people they feel are somehow beneath them.
Sure, you speak to them, but that particular falling tree doesn't make a sound in the forest, because there's no one actually listening.
Remarkably charismatic people listen closely to everyone, and they make all of us, regardless of our position or social status or "level," feel like we have something in common with them.
Because we do: We're all people.
3. They put their stuff away.
Don't check your phone. Don't glance at your monitor. Don't focus on anything else, even for a moment.
You can never connect with others if you're busy connecting with your stuff, too.
Give the gift of your full attention. That's a gift few people give. That gift alone will make others want to be around you and remember you.
4. They give before they receive--and often they never receive.
Never think about what you can get. Focus on what you can provide. Giving is the only way to establish a real connection and relationship.
Focus, even in part and even for a moment, on what you can get out of the other person, and you show that the only person who really matters is you.
5. They don't act self-important…
The only people who are impressed by your stuffy, pretentious, self-important self are other stuffy, pretentious, self-important people.
The rest of us aren't impressed. We're irritated, put off, and uncomfortable.
And we hate when you walk in the room.
6. …Because they realize other people are more important.
You already know what you know. You know your opinions. You know your perspectives and points of view.
That stuff isn't important, because it's already yours. You can't learn anything from yourself.
But you don't know what other people know, and everyone, no matter who they are, knows things you don't know.
That makes them a lot more important than you--because they're people you can learn from.
7. They shine the spotlight on others.
No one receives enough praise. No one. Tell people what they did well.
Wait, you say you don't know what they did well?
Shame on you--it's your job to know. It's your job to find out ahead of time.
Not only will people appreciate your praise, they'll appreciate the fact you care enough to pay attention to what they're doing.
Then they'll feel a little more accomplished and a lot more important.
8. They choose their words.
The words you use impact the attitude of others.
For example, you don't have to go to a meeting; you get to go meet with other people. You don't have to create a presentation for a new client; you get to share cool stuff with other people. You don't have to go to the gym; you get to work out and improve your health and fitness.
You don't have to interview job candidates; you get to select a great person to join your team.
We all want to associate with happy, enthusiastic, fulfilled people. The words you choose can help other people feel better about themselves--and make you feel better about yourself, too.
9. They don't discuss the failings of others...
Granted, we all like hearing a little gossip. We all like hearing a little dirt.
The problem is, we don't necessarily like--and we definitely don't respect--the people who dish that dirt.
Don't laugh at other people. When you do, the people around you wonder if you sometimes laugh at them.
10. ...But they readily admit their failings.
Incredibly successful people are often assumed to have charisma simply because they're successful. Their success seems to create a halo effect, almost like a glow.
Keyword is seem.
You don't have to be incredibly successful to be remarkably charismatic. Scratch the shiny surface, and many successful people have all the charisma of a rock.
But you do have to be incredibly genuine to be remarkably charismatic.
Be humble. Share your screwups. Admit your mistakes. Be the cautionary tale. And laugh at yourself.
While you should never laugh at other people, you should always laugh at yourself.
People won't laugh at you. People will laugh laugh with you.
They'll like you better for it--and they'll want to be around you a lot more.
