Do you invoke fear in your employees? Or maybe you’re cool, but you got that great at paperwork, bad with people kind of manager working for you.

Today I want to talk about something most people don’t think about when it comes to their company - internal fear.

The internal workings of a company and interpersonal relationships between your managers and employees are just as important as treating your external customers like treasures.

In their quest to earn a profit, many entrepreneurs forget there is a such thing as an internal customer (internal customers are your employees). Many times these customers buy from you, but more importantly their attitudes and work ethic reflect how well your business will do.

If you own a company, it’s important to keep a watchful eye over your staff and read between the lines.

1. To optimize Wordpress for SEO, one thing you should do is make sure your “Categories” and other sidebar headers are not contained inside the header tags as it tells Googlebot the word “Categories” is an important term on your website.
2. In my opinion, it’s better to write the content on your website for humans and not Googlebot (i.e. search engines).
3. Don’t have a flash intro as your website’s landing page.

Barbara Swafford of Blogging Without A Blog and Observation Mountain left a comment the other day on Part 2 of this series I felt required a more in-depth response than a quick comment.

She wrote the following:

One thing that I saw (as a Realtor) was when parents or a close relative would loan money to the buyers for a part of the down payment. If I remember right, any money that was loaned by others, had to be treated as a “gift”.Aren’t there also situations where the buyer agrees to pay more for the house (on paper), and then the seller agrees to pay the closing costs (and maybe the down payment?) out of the excess “proceeds”?

I’ve also heard of new carpet and/or new paint “allowances”. Does that “credit” get used as part of the closing costs or…, how is that handled? Or…….is that going to be covered in your next lesson?

The important thing to remember is every bank is slightly different.
