Small Hotel in The Gap: Yellow Bird Hotel Review

My friends and I decided to escape to the sunny paradise of Barbados to enjoy a much needed vacation from work. When we were just researching on the ideal place where a group of party-loving ladies can unwind and have fun, we found out that St. Lawrence Gap—or just known as The Gap—is the island’s nightlife and dining center. We quickly looked up all the possible accommodations there. Our rule was to stay within budget, so we quickly eliminated the choices for luxury hotels and looked at small hotel Barbados.

We ended up booking our stay at the Yellow Bird Hotel—and I am so glad that we did. It is an informal boutique hotel which has its own bar and restaurant, freshwater swimming pool and oceanfront rooms with amazing views. What I liked most about it are the facts that it’s cheap and close to all the great restaurants, boutiques and clubs, and that it gave us amazing value for our money.

I really liked our rooms as well because they’re stylish, well-equipped, clean and extremely comfortable. So whenever we‘re so tired after an extreme excursion down at The Gap, our rooms was the perfect place to recharge and prepare for the next action-packed day.
The staff was so nice and friendly, that we always had smiles on our faces. They’re so attentive and hospitable that the pampering feels like its coming from a 5-star hotel service. They helped us truly bask in the laid-back atmosphere and enjoy Barbados at its fullest.

I really recommend everyone to give this small hotel Barbados a try, because I guarantee that you won’t regret it. If you’re looking for a nice, comfortable and affordable reprieve from The Gap’s exuberant and tiring lifestyle, then the Yellow Bird Hotel is absolutely perfect for you!

Looking at the Past and Future of Elearning Solutions

It seems that there is a lot more growth in the elearning solutions industry than anyone could have predicted. A couple of years ago, we in the industry thought that there would indeed be growth. But we never expected that the growth would be this massive. The industry in the United States alone is almost worth thirty billion dollars. That is a very healthy industry indeed.

I remember back then, I was just a school teacher with substantial technology and software knowledge. I wanted to find and get involved with a bigger opportunity since my teaching career seemed to be going nowhere. Well, perhaps that is a gross overstatement. It is true that teaching, while a good steady job, will not create large amounts of wealth. I did not really want to be filthy rich, but I wanted to have the finer things in life and security for the family that I wanted to build. That was when I got into elearning solutions for companies that needed software training courses for specific reasons such as software rollouts or basic employee development.

I took the job but I did not let go of my full time teaching career. I merely lightened my load. I was teaching MWF classes only so that I had time for my other projects. Little did I know then that that would start a vibrant and glowing career that would lead me to where I am now.

Right now, we are predicting that the 30 billion dollar figure will nearly double in five to six years. Another forecast is that the industry will shift its market to Asia, where the Information Technology industry seems to be migrating as well. We are creating measures in order to take advantage of such arrangements, although North America is still a prime market.

PRM — Couple’s Therapy for Partners

In the world of business and sales, it is imperative that a good relationship is established amongst partners to ensure the smooth flow of processes and functions. Businesses—even a dominant one—cannot remain successful if it doesn’t reach out to other companies who offer the services it lacks.

It’s pretty much like a man and woman reaching out to each other because one is the vital half of the other. They are complementary. Basically, what I’m trying to say is that partnering up with different organizations is a lot like marriage. It requires communication, collaboration and commitment in order for them to attain joint goals and objectives. In that light, I can therefore say that partner relationship management (PRM) is the channel distribution network’s version of couple’s therapy.

In PRM, the different channels are managed or “counseled” by emphasizing the following points:

Sharing. Through partner portals, quality leads and other critical information, knowledge and programs are shared with the channel so that every member can function well and maximize their productivity. If there are those who are performing better than others, then they are given more attention and support.

Communication. Every good relationship is built on effective communication. Needs and concerns are openly expressed within channels so that partners can receive the support they need to improve their sales and generate substantial revenue for the network. It is important that there is clarity and understanding so that the relationship can reap just rewards. This is why the internet has played a very big role in the successful uptake of PRM in different companies. It allowed partners to communicate efficiently despite their distances from one another.

Common Goal. Every member within a channel should share common goals or objectives because it would certainly benefit the network. This way, everyone knows where they are headed and would thus motivate themselves to perform whatever’s necessary to achieve them.
