Member You - Will Your Small Business have a Happy Ending ?
When was the last time you took a customer out for coffee?I know. You're busy. You might have trouble remembering when you last had a real lunch break. You're managing a store, and there is always something that needs to be done yesterday.If you are not regularly spending time with customers, you're missing the boat. And I don't mean just helping customers on the sales floor. I mean getting to know them better and asking for feedback about your store.Independent retailers, like you, have the advantage of being close to the consumer. Often you know many of your custo

I started in the search business in 1972 (GASP!) and it didn’t take long for me to notice a few simple, yet understandable behaviors among employers.They include:The longer someone is looking for work, the few choices they have. Companies start to look at your resume and believe that others have interviewed you and found your skills lacking so why should they waste their time meeting you?The longer that someone is out of work, the less negotiating leverage someone has come salary negotiations. Firms often adopt the attitude of giving you two choices when they make an offer—Take i
If you are the owner of a small business it is time for you to stop thinking of only what is happening now, and start focusing on what could happen in the future. Therefore, you need to put your priorities into perspective by protecting yourself and your business with a succession plan. A business succession plan is what you need to ensure that your business has a happy ending by remaining secure, regardless of what may happen in the future.
In particular, a succession plan allows your business the chance to be able to stand up to any challenges that may occur along the way. For instance, certain setbacks that you might experience may be entirely beyond your control such as divorce, disability, departure and death. But with a business succession plan you have the chance, as a small business owner, to ensure that regardless of what may happen to you, your business will be protected.

Done well, advertising can launch your business into a period of explosive growth. Done poorly, advertising can be one of the most wasteful and risky forms of marketing activity. Laser-like targeting and messaging with irresistible appeal are two crucial elements.Many businesses advertise locally in Yellow Pages which represents a significant and long-term investment in one source.To maximise your return on investment I would recommend carrying out smaller tests first in local publications. Just like all forms of marketing it is best to start

Well a successful affiliate marketer friend of mine, and I'm talking someone who makes over $500 per day, admitted that he had done just that.In a 10-day trial he collected 100 subscribers per day from his existing website visitors. Based on industry figures that estimate a list is worth $1 per month per subscriber, he estimates that if he reckoned on 50 cents per subscriber per month he has just built a $500 per month money machine for nothing!! - As he is getting the visitors anyway.At 100 subscribers per day x 1000 days (the length of time he has been doing affiliate marketing) = 100

I am adamant about the use of processes. I believe that everyone who is organized and interested in minimizing grief in their business as well as their personal life uses processes. For me, processes are an integral part of my life. I use them everywhere and often. Some people would say that I am too process oriented at times, and maybe I am. I, however, find that my life is simplified by processes and they allow me to spend my time thinking about the important things in my life instead of the routine.I first realized the value of creating and following processes way back in my youth and

Sometimes it feels like business would be so much better without customers. We could go about our internal meetings without problems, set-up strategies that we like and understand, decide where the funds should go...life would be so easy...no customers, no cry (to paraphrase a famous song). Of course, this scenario conveniently forgets that it is the customer who pays our bills.There is no doubt that the customer should be at the centre of every business strategy and yet, it often feels like focusing on them comes as an afterthought, a single paragraph in a business plan, nothing more (the fam

How to Begin the Succession Planning - Since you need to make choices before you can really begin achieving your succession planning goal, you must first think about your long term business objectives and ask yourself important questions such as –
• Will I sell my small business?
• Should I set up a plan that allows me to transfer my business to one of my business associates or a family member?
• Does my business have public potential?
Of course, business succession planning begins with much more than simply deciding who you will be giving your business to in the event that you can no longer run your company, or wish to sell it. Additionally, succession planning is about keeping your small business afloat and successful to ensure that your absence will not devastate your company. Therefore, in order to maintain future control of your business, you will need to begin your succession planning by making choices that will concern things such as:
• ownership objectives
• asset protection planning
• taxation and transaction planning
• estate planning
You will want to keep in mind, however, that due to the fact that every action you take with succession planning will result in a reaction, you will require the assistance of experienced experts when developing your plan.
