Growing Your Business One Customer At A Time
The People aspect of business is really what it is all about. Rule #1: Think of customers as individuals. Once we think that way, we realize our business is our customer, not our product or services. Putting all the focus on the merchandise in our store, or the services our corporation offers, leaves out the most important c

I remember getting hired as an executive before opening my own advertising company. I worked for this guy who at the time I thought was a terrible manager. The truth is he happened to be one of the smartest managers I had ever met.

Here’s why….

He had very little advertising sales ability, and couldn’t close a sale if his life depended on it. What he did have however was the knack to hire the right people to do the job for him. What most of the employees did not know was he had talked his way into becoming an equal owner for no money down.

When he spotted potential in a person, but they lacked the experience, he would ask a sales person to do him a favor. Since there was no salary and everyone worked on commission, he would get them trained for free. He might say to the salesperson I am not sure if this new person will work out, would you show him/her a few pointers, and let me know what you think. The next day he might take the sales person out for lunch, or to the club, and talk about this new person. Then he may perhaps say something like “I am going to be very busy over the next week with suppliers, could you just watch over this person a bit, and help them now and then if they need it. I would really appreciate it”?

He knew how to give back also, great perks like cash bonuses, weekend luxury trips, or for top people he would lease fancy cars. He would treat these people like gold, and everyone else working there would want to be part of his so called “Inner circle”.

I remember one day a new person actually went to his office for help. He was trying to close a sale with someone on the phone, but having trouble. The man actually looked up at him and said “I am eating my lunch right now”. The person said “I am so close to this sale, but I think he needs a second voice”. The manager said you can do this on your own, and if you are going to disturb my lunch make sure it is with a closed sale. About ten minutes later the person comes back to say “I closed the sale”. “The manager says “congrats, I knew you could do it”. The salesperson

Building a small business is hard work. In the initial period of most small businesses, one or two people are trying to do everything until the business grows enough to diversify functions and hire assistance.

Several success stories have emanated from the lean manufacturing initiatives. Although some organizations were not able to sustain the success after a few years, many others kept building on the initial success through continual improvements in processes. Discussed below are the keys to lean manufacturing success that were common for most of the success stories:

When we surf through the web we see many entities selling American corporations and other structures that they consider to be called asset protection strategies. These run the gamut of corporations in the states of Wyoming, Delaware or Nevada, trusts of various types and other structures all based in the USA. What is wrong here is that nothing in the USA can protect you.
