Tips for Effective Networking

By Noel R. Bagwell, III, Esq. | May 21, 2013 |

Clarksville, TN – Advertising is expensive. What does a small business with a great product or service do, then, when they need to get out the word about what they’re selling when they afford to spend a lot on advertising?

For many small businesses, the 21st century answers to this question are online social networking (social media) and traditional face-to-face networking. Both have their pitfalls, but I want to share with you some ideas about how to avoid them.

Traditional Face-to-Face networking can be time-consuming and unproductive, especially if you have to stop working, drive to wherever the networking event is happening, and then run the gauntlet of hand-shaking, introductions, and polite conversation. «Read the rest of this article»

Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of May 19th, 2013

By Frazier Allen | May 19, 2013 |

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

The economic data reports were expected to be a series of tough hurdles for the stock market, but they ended up more like minor speed bumps. Share prices continued to rally broadly. The bond market was volatile, as investors debated when the Fed may begin to taper its asset purchases.

Retail sales results for April were better than anticipated – not strong, but not as bad as feared. Industrial production was weaker than expected. Residential construction figures were mixed, reflecting a high degree of volatility in the multi-family sector and continued strength in single-family homebuilding. «Read the rest of this article»

Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of May 12th, 2013

By Frazier Allen | May 12, 2013 |

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

The economic calendar was thin. Jobless claims remained low, consistent with a low level of job destruction. However, the March JOLTS data (that’s the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey) continued to show relatively low rates of hiring and quits. Fed Chairman Bernanke spoke in some detail about how the Fed is monitoring the financial system for vulnerabilities.

One concern is that accommodative monetary policies could lead to excessive risk-taking. Bernanke said the Fed is watching for that, but he did not say whether it is currently seeing it. China indicated that it would move to free up capital flows into and out of the country. That’s one step toward eventually become an important global currency (although there is a long way to go) and will likely lead to a strengthening of the currency in the near term. Treasury reported a large budget surplus for April, implying a smaller-than-expected deficit for FY13. «Read the rest of this article»
