Personalities

Have you ever been quick to judge someone as a certain personality and then realize how utterly wrong you were? Of course you have. We have all been there. This is why it is important to take into account all kinda of characteristics before making the leap to trusting or relying on them. Partners are supposed to be professional. If you need some help spotting these people, here are some pointers. First of all, you can have your laid back person and it always seems like there is an excessive amount of them. So yes, not all of them are truly so called laid back. Truth is that most of these people have some form of panic disorder and the reality of existing in certain situations becomes insurmountable without some chemical help. They have issues using phone services let alone face to face interactions. In short, they are far from laid back. Anyone who has ever worked in an office knows there are certain people who believe having absolutely no sense of humor makes them appear smart, more serious, and good at that job. Unfortunately, it is quite the opposite.

Business Texting

In the quiet ages, people in business would communicate using phone services with hardware at the office. These days, anybody can be a chatterbox anywhere and at any time. So why not small businesses too? RingCentral, Inc. is a leading cloud business phone system provider. Their solution lives on a cloud, with the core technology infrastructure and global network located in multiple secure data centers. They have just announced yet another feature - beginning in 2013, SMBs can connect with their customers with real time messaging. This is the industry’s first SMS for business phone systems. The feature will allow employees to call, fax and now text from their business number, on either iPhone or Android handsets. Americans 18-29 average nearly 88 text messages per day, compared to only 17 phone calls - the way we communicate, the way we do business is changing. Would you send a business text, or is that pushing it and not very professional?

Facebook Etiquette

With pretty much everyone on Facebook, we use it connect with people and share information. Sometimes, people make blunders on the website but unlike a social mistake made at the dinner table, it can be remembered forever. One of the first and foremost things to remember is to keep private conversations private. No one wants to hear any of your business and if the wrong people do hear something, there are consequences. Losing a job or family are some of them. There are other communication services that can be used for your conversations. Another problem that is related to the issue of sharing is spamming and sharing too much. No one likes spam in any medium, but to the person doing the posting, it might seem more like sharing something they love instead of spamming. And that makes this problem all too common: everyone on Facebook has at least one friend who’s always posting repetitive, uninteresting content. Lastly, there is something called a spellchecker. Use it.
