Welcome
I know it is hard to spend cash now in face of the questionable health of our economy. I run two small businesses myself. BUT I am very confident that many small businesses can improve their profits if they will just take a hard look and recognize the opportunity in front of them.
To 'put my money where my mouth is' I am offering a 'delayed payment' plan for all who take action in August by calling me. After an initial consulting call I will discuss moving ahead on this delayed payment basis.
CALL ME! What do you have to lose?

Measuring Customer Loyalty In Terms of Future Growth
|
What is your company's Net Promoter Score? Don't know? Don't be surprised. Many companies have not yet grasped the power of this fairly new business growth tool.
The Net Promoter Score is the measure of your customers who will strongly (or not at all) recommend your company to others. Net Promoter is not just a metric - it is a way of doing business. It goes way beyond the typical customer satisfaction survey - way beyond. Check out the Net Promoter book - Answering The Ultimate Question by Owen and Brooks. |

Why New Business Plans FAIL!
|
Business plans, if done, usually don't get much respect or attention. Here are 4 reasons why:- The focus is on what we do or make verses what the market wants or needs.
- Financial projections are just that - financial hocus pocus. A spread sheet make good sense but without a good dose of reality it can crumble in a minute.
- The plan looks good on paper but the people factor isn't up to projections. Unless you have robots doing every thing a good plan needs good people to carry it out.
- No downside possibilities and a plan B. Even the best business plan should have some contingencies to deal with the unexpected events of the world.

Will the New Social Media Grow Your Business?
|
 There is without a doubt a lot of growing attention for the various new social media - LinkedIn, Face Book, Twitter, etc. There is almost a hysteria about the 'wonders' this new communications tool will bring to virtually everyone - personally and/or for business growth.
HOLD ON! While the numbers are mesmerizing the proof isn't there - at least not yet. For example, lots of people are signing up for Twitter and building their 'followers'. But there is also data to show there is a short attention span for using Twitter.
So before you invest a lot of time and money in any of the new social media, you must research to learn if it will deliver a solid ROI for you and which one is right for you and your circumstances.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!"Delta 351: "Give us another hint! We have digital watches!"
A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down.
San Jose Tower noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you able. If you are not able, take the Guadeloupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport."
One last thought:
Happiness come through doors you didn't even know you left open! |
ucts they didn't feel a need to be innovative, ergo we are way we bring up the rear of innovation in this decade.
Eliminate "silo thinking" in your business. We are all in this together.
