Why Aligning Agenda's with the CFO Bodes Well for Marketing & Communication





Good food for thought. It depends on the structure of the organization but, typically, these budgets are established among departments and communicated through each division’s key personnel once they’ve been established by directors.

The larger the company the more stress it is for the CFO. Smaller companies tend to rely on their CFO in that way. However, trust they are thankful when they have a peer of directors to assist in setting the budget. Distribution of management is key because employee capital and retention are important. The greater the  company size the more you have to look at management’s threshold to maintain.

That said, if you are the marketing manager much to your chagrin, the thought of having to do more with less can be stressful without a rapport. That’s the downside. The good side is that innovation can develop and thrive.

The Day After Christmas

Christmas day was great. I didn't go to bed until the wee hours again and needless to say I was wrapping gifts at 4:30 that morning as the children rose ready to open their presents. It probably would be useless to most to continue wrapping when everyone would open them minutes after but I did so anyway. I like to do it and wrapping gifts is as much a part of the Christmas festivities as decorating the tree. And just as Christmas day was fun so was the day after.  We followed up Christmas dinner with a fish fry and a game of spades. It was great and me and my partner won the game. We had  great time laughing and kidding with each other. We listened to music and sang along. Nothing like those oldies but goodies. We all took part from the oldest to the youngest adding our voices to the music. To outsiders it may have seemed like no big deal but to me it was as much a part of loving each others as was the gift giving. I sat back and thought that's what ...

After Christmas Practical Suggestion

I'm really not an expert in this area but, after going over a few records for a family member, I quickly understand the importance of not just tossing your bank statements around and not viewing them. I saw where they were paying for subscriptions almost three times the normal amount. Having said that, many of you will get those bank statements detailing all the great gifts you have given. But you may want to double check them.  Make sure you haven't been billed twice for the same thing or billed for something you didn't purchase at all. With theft at an all time high, it's not unlikely for this to happen. Remember to keep tabs of your records. Lately I've been taking note of information regarding fraud and identity theft and it seems that the holiday season is a peak time for these unfortunate situations to take place. And familiarizing yourself with what steps to take (hopefully this won't happen) can ease the burden of a  di...

Thoughts for today

Whatever you endeavor to do, let it be yours. Never let anyone try and project their thoughts as yours, their feelings, or their motives. No, let every man reason for himself seeking God to find their perspective. We should never try to attach our needs to someone else except we commune together. And never ask a man, especially a woman to carry the burden for anothers errors lest they be in agreement. This is why I find the precision of these words to be exact. Actions not words are the true criterion for the attachment of friends~George Washington
