Trust me! Trust is the foundation of any relationship, be it personal, romantic, or business. In the second part of her Trust in business series, Ann Nurock shows how you can attain trust. On the newspaper front, Anton Harber looks at the claims The New Age made recently regarding its circulation and suggests that they be treated with caution. As he puts it, the figures are of dubious credibility. Here's your chance to listen to last week's [Biz Takeouts Podcast] 58: Online education and audience data. And talking of listening in, Marion Scher says, tongue planted firmly in cheek... It must be true - I read/saw/heard it in the media...Finally, contributing from the US, Ted Leonhardt recounts how standing your ground while delivering a pitch can help you to become a new business power player.
