Weekly TimBit<\/strong>-Take the Relevance quiz now – see if you need to make some<\/p>\n

Take the Relevance Quiz Now<\/b><\/p>\n

Ten's of thousands of organizations fail every year and the common reason for each of them failing is simply – they are no longer RELEVANT<\/strong>. Their policies, products or services or their marketing strategies have lost their significance or importance and they have not kept up with consumer trends, needs or buying patterns or habits. Failure or sustained success does not depend on your history, experience, products\/services, size or market or market share but your ability to stay ahead of the curve – to stay RELEVANT <\/strong>no matter – the economy, market conditions or competition.<\/p>\n

Don't become a casualty! To ensure your business or career continues to be of value and prospers now and in the future requires one basic approach – you must stayRELEVANT<\/strong>or you will fail. I suggest you have some of your employees answer these questions as well to ensure your interpretation of the results is not prejudiced.<\/p>\n
