Chase Credit Cards: A Look at the Top 3

Not too many people know this, but there are over 900 different Chase credit cards for consumers to choose from! Yes, the number you read is correct. With most of these cards being "affinity" cards, meaning having direct tie-ins with a store, or with an auto manufacturer, you name it the choices for consumers are bountiful. A little overwhelming too, don't you think? To cut to the chase, pun intended, there are three Chase credit cards that stand above the rest. Let's take a closer look at each one and what each has to offer to you.

Chase Platinum for the Ultimate Credit Card

Chase Platinum â€" As the name suggests, this is the one of the most popular cards offered by Chase. It also is the most power packed one at that! Available to you as the Chase Platinum MasterCard or as the Chase Platinum VISA card, this card really delivers: 0% APR for the first 12 months; no annual fee; a fixed low rate after the introductory period ends; and lots of nifty benefits. You get travel accident insurance coverage, lost luggage insurance, purchase assurance, and extended warranties on many of your purchases. Practical and smart coverage for the traveling consumer!

Put Some Money in Your Wallet With a Chase Cash Plus Card

Chase Cash Plus â€" Like the Platinum card, you also get 0% APR for the first 12 months and avoid the annual fee. With the Chase Cash Plus card, you get 1% cash back on all purchases, but Chase bumps that amount up to 5% when you charge your gas, groceries, and drugstore purchases! Even better, for every 5,000 points earned, you can redeem them for either a $50 check or a $50 gift certificate from a variety of top notch merchants. Clearly, if it is money back that you want then the Chase Cash Plus card is the one for you.

Frequent Fliers Love the Chase Value Miles Card

Chase Value Miles â€" Are you a jetsetter? A true road warrior? If so, why not make your trips work for you? The Chase Value Miles card was created for frequent travelers just like you. Besides the 0% APR for the first 12 months and no annual fee, card holders reap big benefits in the form of one airline mile for every dollar spent! Best of all, there are no blackout periods so you can use your miles at any time and Chase kicks in a cool $500,000 travel insurance too. Travel to Los Angeles, Paris, Singapore, Cape Town, or to wherever you want to go.

So, there you have it...900 choices narrowed down to the top three. Whichever Chase credit card you select, maximize your choice to get the most you can out of it. Cash, points, free air miles...the choice is yours and a Chase credit card can help you get what you want for free!

What's So Small About Your Business?

There is nothing 'small' about running a small business. Usually it takes more effort than running a large business. You have to act as CEO, Accountant, Director of Sales and Marketing as well as Human Resources. What is so small about that?

When asked the predictable question "So, what do you do?" often a small business owner will reply "I own a small business" or "I run a small graphic design company". How does it help your business when you refer to it as small?

Instead of saying, you run your own tiny PR Company, how about saying you run a communications firm.

The point is, when you use the term small; it is open to interpretation by the listener as to what the word 'small' means. How do they define it?

You may think small means: "I can handle work for mid-size companies, up to 200 employees". Whilst the listener might be thinking, "Too bad they can only handle businesses with under 50 employees; my mid-size company could certainly do with their help."

Do you think if you say you a run a company, without mentioning that it's small, you will be buried by too much work from bigger clients?

Recently, one of my Coaching clients referred to her business as a small graphic design company. I asked her "What do the "large" firms provide to a potential client that you don't?" She thought for a moment and said, "Well, they have a known client list and nice offices". That was it!

Clients hire you to add value to their business by using your talent. Nothing to do with stylish offices or the fact that IBM is a past client.

I have heard people say that they like working with a smaller company because of the more personalized service they feel they receive by dealing with the owner. And it is true, when a client picks up the 'phone, it could well be you who answers â€" they certainly don't have to go through six people just to get their question answered. However, it is not the number of employees that dictates the quality of the customer service; it is the mindset of the people involved.

If you want to start landing larger clients, stop acting so small. Give yourself some credit for your talent; tell people what you have to offer and what you can do for them. If you don't start to, no one else will.
