Small Business and Advantage

Small business have a big advantage in the marketplace. I am sure this myth permeates most of our society, but it simply isn't true anymore. Small companies no longer have the advantage and being small and agile just isn't enough considering  all the bureaucracy, rules and regulations, and other things going on. The corporations hold the key to congress, and a lobby pay-t-play system to get their way when it comes down to tax codes, regulations, and even monopolistic benefits granted by that same government.

It's very hard for a small entrepreneur businessperson to compete, and even when they are working with a larger business, things aren't all that great. Large companies never seem to pay their bills on time, and at the end of the day there isn't much money left over for the proprietor of the small biz. It seems to me that Washington DC has all but forgotten the small time entrepreneur even though it seems we are the ones that employ 75% of the population. Being small has its advantages don't get me wrong, life is much smaller when you're running a smaller company than when you get to be a larger one.

Indeed, I inherently know this because when I started my first small business, it was rather fun, and nice to be  i charge. Unfortunately, as the company grew into a franchise organization things got more complicated, more spread out, and all those rules and regulations continually made it hard to grow. Yes, we were still small enough to remain agile, but overburdened by all the rules and regulations. When I hear politicians talk about this,  and tell me all the wonderful benefits of small business, I just laugh.

Indeed, I'd lime to see some of those congressmen come out here the real world and compete in the free market as a small time entrepreneur business Unfortunately, until they do, and until hell freezes over, they probably won't understand what all their laws which they keep passing for their lobbyist corporate friends are doing out here the small entrepreneurial business of the world.

No, I'm not saying that running a large corporation is any easier, but it sure is nice to have friends in high places running block for you every time you need to get something done, or get around one of the rules. Things just don't work that way for the little guy.

Open Sales Market And Consumers

Sometime you just need a little encouragement to get in the door to make that call. Here's what I tell salespeople no matter what field they are in - whether real estate, mortgage banking and pharmaceuticals : There are two things on the other side of a call or a visit -
Opportunity and relationship

OR
No opportunity

You want to know. No, you need to know what's n the other side of that door or call.

When I started doing sales, I was fearful of being rejected. I was scared about what people were thinking about me. Then I realized...this job wasn't about me. It was about the person I was talking to at each and every opportunity. When I because curious about them, my whole sales process changed.

Making a phone call, paying a visit, or cold-calling is all about pushing the door open and seeing what happens. The door is simply a barrier between you and the person with whom you want to connect. Sales are about being willing to push that door open no mater what is not the other side.

Sometime you are going to to run into people who are mean, upset, angry, sad, or disenchanted. They are going to try to make you feel the same way. Don't let them. Sometimes you're going to run into people who are nice, happy, and friendly.
Sometimes you are going to make a sale but most of the time you aren't.

Here is what I do know... If you don't push the door open or make that call or go on that visit, you will never make a sale. Part of sales is tenacity - the ability to just go out and get the sale. The other element has to be curiosity. You have to be curious and interested in the people you interact with throughout the course of your day.

The key is to focus your mind and look at every barrier as an opportunity. There is something interesting on the other side of the door. Go push it open. Go that make call. Go make that visit. Keep doing it. The more you do it, the better you will get. The more you do it, the more opportunity you will have to develop relationship with people. The more you do it,

Beauty Salon Marketing Popular Secrets

Open your own beauty salon you are going to need to create a steady flood of new customers. Here are 4 key proven salon marketing strategies the that if you implement could help a double your client list in as little as 90 days!
Implementing these steps will put you well on your way!

 

 Step No.1.  Determine what makes you professionally unique.


If you are just another stylist it will be impossible for you to stand out in the crowed! Standing out in crowd helps you ideal future clients find you, it helps you charge more than the "average" stylist or salon. Your uniqueness could come from your level of experience with a certain type of hair, or style or type of clients (brides, birthdays, proms etc.) The best way to determine your professional uniqueness is to answer this question honestly, "Why would your ideal prospect chose to do business with you above any all other option, including doing nothing?" A quick FYI : the answer to what makes you unique is not your level of customer service. Providing good customer service is expected by your ideal prospects, and the fact that every stylist and every salon claims that they provide great service mans that good service cannot be unique to you!

 Step N0. 2. Determine your ideal prospect?


 Your ideal prospects are the ones that combine the highest return on your investment, return on your time, and return on your enjoyment. One of the biggest mistakes that stylists and salon owners make that kills their business, is to try and be all things to all people. The fastest way to get rich in the beauty business is to pick a niche and own it!

Step No.3. Find strategic partners and do joint promotions. 

A strategic partner is someone who is already doing business with your ideal prospects. For example if your ideal future prospects are brides, a good strategic partner might be wedding planners. if you think that your ideal future prospects are busy moms, a good strategic partner might be a divorce attorneys. Once you identify who might be a good strategic partner you then need to offer them so type of value in exchange for access to their customers. Value can be commissions on the sales they help generate for you, or free services. The options are only limited by your creativity.

Step No.4. Create an "Active Referral System" 

Another big mistake that stylists and salons make is that they just wait for referrals to just happen. Handing out a bunch of your business cards to your clients and hope that they share them with their friends is not an Active Referral System. An example of an ARS would be sending out an email coupon to your current and past clients and offering them a discount if they get at least three of their friends to bring in the email when they book an appointment.

Works, Agreement and Law

The Pareto principle, the 80/20 rules, Juran's Law, the vital few and the trivial many, call it what you will. This principle stood the test of time for a very good reason. It works and it can be applied to many things in our lives.

This principle has had such an impact on my thinking that when I decided to set up my own company it even influenced the name!

Let's look at 4 areas where 80/20 can help you:

1)  Productivity

We all have lots to do, lots of everyday commitments and jobs to complete. Some of it is necessary some of it definitely is not. How about spending more time on those things that rally matter? The things that get you closer to your goals and improve your life.

80/20 thinking and regular 80/20 analysis helps us here by forcing us to focus on the big rocks that make the most impact. Clearing the unnecessary to make room for the necessary.

Review what you do on a daily and weekly basis. Is it helping or hindering you? Does it need to be done? If not, could it be dropped? Zero in on your most productive tasks and focus on them relentlessly. Focus is often followed by success.

2)  Customers/Clients

20% of your customers will provide 80% of your income/profit/challenge/enjoyment.

Not all of us make a direct income from clients but we all have customers/people we provide a service to. 80/20 thinking can help us identify and target the most valued customers, the ones that give us the most back from dealings with them.

This helps clarify your thinking, approach and strategy. Think about ways you can focus more on your best customers, the ones that provide the most income, least headache and most interesting and challenging work.

Identify and target the customers that matter and you may be able to forget the rest!

3)  Tasks

This ties in with no 1 on this list but is worthy of its own place as well,

It's quite possible that 80% of what you spend your time doing in a traditional work setting doesn't matter much!

Email flying backwards and forwards, drafting documents no one will read, gossiping by the water cooler, shifting responsibility for decision making (sloping shoulder syndrome). Just another average day for some. Is this really a great use of your time?

Use80/20 thinking to ensure your attention is focused on the tasks that matter and arrange your time and day accordingly (this may mean getting to your desk early and front ending the important for example).

Ask yourself continuously, are you spending your time focused on work that matters and will make an impact or on busywork?
There is a distinct difference.

4)  Meetings

Most are a waste of time at best (perhaps even more than 80% of them!). Avoid them if and where you can and ensure the ones you do attend are worth your attendance and you have a clear idea of what the objective of the meeting actually is. Too many people that really should know better spend most of their careers in meetings that don't matter and achieve little at best.
Don't be one of them. Ensure the meetings that you attend and run yourself sparkle and achieve their objective.

These are just four very quick ways 80/20 thinking and application can start to make a positive impact in your business lives. However, 80/20 thinking can be applied to anything in life and once you start to use it and clear way for those things that really matter to you there's no turning back.

Care and Career Nursing Jobs

 Nurses  Role
Although work settings and priorities may differ, all nurses are trained are trained to perform the following duties:

• Treat patients and alleviate their suffering 
• Educate patients and families about care and wellness
• Provide emotional support to patients' family members
• Record patients' medical histories and monitor symptoms

To be a successful nurse you need to be non-judgmental and a good communicator with the ability to listen, empathise and provide support. If you want to work in an environment that's interesting, rewarding and challenging, a career in nursing has plenty to offer you.

Qualifications & Training

Nursing offers a diverse, challenging and rewarding career that is ideal for those who'd like to make a difference to people's lives. The NHS and education sector encourages applications from people with a wide range of academic and vocational qualifications.

To become a nurse you must firstly obtain a degree or diploma in pre-registration nursing. This leads to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council  (NMC), enabling you to practice. There are four key branches that form your pre-registration programme; Adult Nursing, Learning Disability Nursing, Mental Health Nursing and Children Nursing. You will need to decide which of the four branches of nursing you wish to train for.

Nursing training takes place at a the Nursing and Midwifery Council approved educational institution, with at least half of the programme based in clinical practice with direct contact with patients and families. This can include the home, community, hospitals, independent and voluntary organizations.

Once you've successfully completed your pre-registration programme and registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, you can start applying for nursing jobs.

With healthcare constantly developing, technology improving, and the needs of the patients changing, your training does not end there. After you have a qualified, it is necessary to keep yourself up date with healthcare issues and practice. This is required by The Nursing and Midwifery Council, as well as your employer.

Searching a job

With 660,000 nurses currently registered on the Nursing Midwifery Council, nurses form the largest group of staff in the NHS and are a crucial part of the healthcare team. When seeking a high pressured, competitive job such as nursing, it's best not to wait until you've passed your last exam to start planning for your first job. Throughout your training build a pool of influential contacts and stay in touch with them. It's not just what you know when it comes to finding a job, who you know can really helps too.

Question To Ask Your Interviewer In An Interview

"What incentive would I have to work for your company?"
Wow. What a bold interview question; I agree! honestly believe that only someone who is practically guaranteed to get the job should ask a question  like that or unless you won the lottery the night before.

This got me thinking however, are you asking the right interview questions to you interviewer?

When I was in corporate recruiting, I had at least 4-5 interviews every day and at each interview, I heard the same interview questions.

                Can you describe the day-to-day activities of this job?
                How do you get promoted here?
                What is the vacation policy?
                What are the hours or What is overtime like?

Are you screaming, "WHAT?! " right now? I did; every single time I heard those interview question. It was like nails on a chalkboard for me. Why? Because they tell you nothing about the job or company and they tell me all you care about is money.

Here are the answer to the above interview questions, in case you were wondering.

                Yes. You will work hard every day.
                Work Hard.
                If you work hard, you can take some time off.
                You will be working hard, and working a lot.

No, those were not the real answers I gave, but that was what I was saying in my head the whole time.

Now great.....you used up all your time to ask interview questions and what did you learn?  Nothing! Worthless questions and now the interviewer thinks mush less of you than they did 5 minutes ago.

While I am not advocating for asking the original interview question, I am however advocating you to ask thought -provoking questions where you will actually learn something new OR questions where you make the interviewer sell you on taking the job.

Every person I encounter believes that an interview is one-sided. The company/interviewer has the job and you need it, but that's just simply not true. The company needs you to do the job and the interviewer wants to stop interviewing candidates. In most cases, you have the upper-hand in interviews. Use that to you advantage, don't be afraid.

Here are some thought -provoking interview questions you can ask an interviewer.

                 Do you have any hesitations about my background?
                 How much guidance is made available to individuals in developing career goals?
                 How will the success of the person in this position be measured?
                 What commonalities do you find in your top performers?
                 What do expect me accomplish in my first 30/30/90 days?
                 Describe your company's culture.

Now, of curs, there are hundreds of more interview questions you can ask and they are all dependent on your unique interview. The point is..... don't ask questions during an interview just for the sake of asking questions. Ask interview questions that will be thought -provoking and that you will actually learn something from.

While the first few moments of any interview are its most crucial, the last few are arguably more important. This is the last thing the interview will remember about you.

Will their opinion come from your great questions or bad questions you asked? You have the power to control your interview destiny!   

Business Protect Its Customers

(PCI For Short) payment card industry, regulates the payment card data security process. PCI, first introduced in 2006, provides merchants with guidelines on how to prevent, detect and react to security breaches. PCI compliance is designed to provide merchants customers with the comfort that their data is protected. Last year a survey revealed that PCI compliant businesses are less likely to experience data breaches. However, it also showed that 85% of businesses experienced a data breach in 2011.

While the industry ha run high-profile campaigns to educate businesses as to the requirements, some, particularly SMES, still find PCI compliance difficult to understand. Many of the letters of explanation sent by card services providers are full of incomprehensible jargon and make compliance seem complicated, when in fact, it is very straightforward.

Why PCI Compliance?

Quite simply, merchant need to understand that every time they take a card payment, personal data is captured and processed. This could be subject to fraud if not held securely which can be costly for both the business and its customers. What's more, PCI applies to every merchant that takes card payments, whether that is a freelance hairdresser or a company selling its wares online.

How to become compliant

Many merchants avoid PCI compliance due to the perceived time and expense it entails. In reality, becoming compliant can be very easy. Merchants need to demonstrate their compliance by being certified by an independent Quality Security Assessor (QSA), and this certification should be renewed annually. Online businesses may also be asked to undergo a vulnerability scan. This requires them to log into a website which will assess whether there are any holes in their security that need to resolving. The length of taken to achieve compliance will vary according to the number of security threats revealed by the scan.

How much will it cost ?  

Charges are difficult to predict. They depend on factors including business type, the number of annually processed transactions and existing IT infrastructure. on- Line and telephone order merchants can generally expect to pay more than face to face retailers.

How do I prepare my business?

Traders can also ease the process of compliance by ensuring basic security is in place when handling card transaction. They should, for example, sue regularly updated anti-virus software, train their staff on security issue and properly secure any media that holds personal data.

what if I don't comply?  

If businesses avoid PCI, the cost, in terms of time and money, could be detrimental. Merchants beaching data security face significant fines, extensive legal fees and long-term damage to the reputation of their business. And, while PCI DSS is not a legal requirement, non=compliant businesses can have the right to handle card transactions withdrawn. 

Small businesses shouldn't feel alone in PCI compliance. Seeking out a card services provider that will help with the administration is a valuable first step. The best will provide support, taking merchant through the set up precess, and will work had to minimise costs. It is important remember that PCI is no longer a choice. Large businesses might recover from the effects of a security breach, but for SMES and start-ups, the consequences can be crippling. 



 

Business Of Shipping "Freight Company"

Multinational corporations need a heavy-duty legislative team that do not only guarantee but also deliver the guarantee. Finding a trustworthy shipping service takes time and effort, especially when quality and price are the two main decisive factors.

Considering the Shipping Rates

 
The ability to compare conveniently is one of the most beneficial features of the web. You can perform side by side comparison of shipping rates in the US for global freight companies. Today, the shipping industry is in high demand by consumers, making it a competitive venture. This means you can find a reputable company that delivers quality and cost that are business-friendly. While the goal of choosing a cost-effective company is to save on profit, it is essential that you do not overlook the quality aspect of the transportation. What's the point in choosing a cheap service when your goods are in uncertified hands?

Reduction through Partnership

Partnering with a qualified freight service is a good way to cut down on the monumental shipping rates in the US. Collaborating with a single international carrier company enables you to obtain great discounts on otherwise staggering rates. However, do not expect to get very low-rate services. With the rise in gas prices worldwide, freight services continue to raise their prices. A graded shipping facility uses various means of transport such as air, water, and land. This makes it all the more expensive. Nonetheless, you can be assured of safe and timely delivery of your goods to its destination anywhere in the world.

Request on-site Quotes

Requesting quotes is a good way of determining shipping rates in the US for your business's freight needs. Comparing costs side by side over the web gives you an estimate of the overall cost. However, getting a physical assessment where a team states a price based on estimate in person, is a more reliable way of knowing the cost. Select two to three services after comparing them against others. Request quotes from the selected companies, settling for the one that best suits your needs.

Establishing a standard is extremely essential in global trading. The service you choose greatly assists in gaining success. Never compromise on the quality of the service while considering shipping rates in the US. Maintain a healthy business relationship with the freight service.

Business Leadership Full Risks

 I remember a number of students who found ways to make money; such as selling candy and pencils in the hall, doing other people's homework or giving people rides home in their cars. There was always a risk or getting caught, which wasn't without consequences, but this didn't stop the people who ware really committed  to having some money.

Risk is still a very real part of business ownership today, and the consequences could be more devastating, in some cases. Business leaders, if you want to build a strong business, you have got to learn to eat risk for breakfast. When you started your company, you had only a 30% chance of being successful. Do what it takes. Be tough.

One of the challenges I have heard a number of times from would-be business owners is that they afraid to make the investments that could make the difference between success and failure. The goal has always been to "boot strap" it. As a result, hundreds of other businesses, seminars and trainers have focused their energies on teaching people how to bootstrap their businesses.

On the other hand, the most - admired companies tend to be those that hire hundreds if not thousands of people and make millions or billions of dollars. Why is this? These are two completely opposite ways of thinking; you don't build a billion-dollar company by bootstrapping. Bootstrapping gets you bootstrapping results. Doing what everyone else does, simply to make a presence, simply to because it worked for them won't make you successful.

Think about it : how many multi - level-marketing millionaires do you know?

How many thin, fit people do you know that have followed the latest diet craze?

Certain things just simply can't be bottled, boxed, shipped and sold. Your business is unique to your offering, your clients and your business model. Do you believe in it? Then invest in it. Whatever it takes. If you have customers, there is a good chance that there id some way to get the resources you need to get the business to the level it needs to be at.

Another challenge is fear of delegating. Seriously... if you are the only one who is producing, who is going to sell. And vice versa. In most cases, there are people who can assist you in getting more done. Note while interns can be great and potentially inexpensive, their primary focus is on school. Take the time to consider, carefully, what you need done and who you need to do it.

Say no. You can't be all things to all people. More than likely, if you focus the lion's share of your energy on meeting the needs of your primary target market, you may attract a wider audience, which is great. What happens when companies try to be all things to all people is that they  dilute their brand; no one knows who they serve and thus, the business misses out on opportunities.

Market. Advertise. Get the word out there, beyond the people who you can reach directly. Not every marketing tactic works for every business. Not to mention, people are bombarded with all kinds of advertising. Every time someone says, "hey... if you aren't doing such and such..."everyone starts doing it. If everyone does it, it is not longer a differentiators. Especially if you are late! Invest the money. Will it pay off right away? probably not.... but people are watching. It is like planting sees. When you plant a garden, if you come back in week, you aren't going to have vine ripened, juicy, delicious tomatoes!

What about risk? Certainly, it exists. You need to know what the risks are and how you will handle them. No one walks a tight rope without considering that they might die. But what does that really mean? More importantly, what happens afterwards?

How do you handle all of it? Sit down and figure it out. Talk it out. Ask you customers, your friends and your family. Take the time an determine where you are going to be and how you will get there. No. That doesn't mean, "I 'm gonna go out and get me some money, buy a tractor and...."It means that you find out the real, specific solutions to making things happen, for now and the foreseeable future, and how you will get there.

I am reminded of Winston Churchill's quote in 1941 at the Harrow School :

"Never give in-never, never never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

When you decide that you are afraid to go out and get your resources to get the job don, you are giving in to fear. You are saying that all of the blood, sweat and tears you have poured into your business isn't worth it, and you don't believe in what you have done.

Trust me when I say that most business owners have moments of doubt. But you cannot afford to let that doubt consume you. You can't just keep going through the motions and hoping that one day, things will get better...things will change. You have got t take you success into your own hand.

You have got to plant your feet, st your face and commit to building an extraordinary business, or go get a job and get out of the way of the real entrepreneur.

Paramedic Training Schools and Student Avoid ' Medic Maills'

The period of time you are required to spend inside a paramedic class differs by school, but in the mind of many people,  it may seem like and eternity  if you want to graduate, acquire a job, and earn a healthy cash.

For this reason, some prospective paramedics consider methods int which they can fast -track themselves to becoming a qualified paramedic. Looking for accelerated paramedic training classes, or even online or free paramedic training, some potential students end up contemplating dubious schools that are sometimes called "medic mills" by some in the health care industry.

The saying "medic mill' is usually said in a negative way to refer to school or course that either offers accelerated paramedic training or requires hardly any prerequisites (an Anatomy and physiology course, for instance).

In short, the expression "medic mills" are frequently tossed about by prospective pupils as schools that can be untrustworthy or supply a dishonest magic formula to becoming an EMT_P.
A "medic mill" can almost be a pejorative expression used by a few who think that a particular school doesn't properly ready its students to become a paramedic. This is due to a lack of comprehensive didactic instruction, or perhaps a poorly assembled clinical or field internship.

But wait, exactly how would you avert a "medic mill?" And should you even avoid it to start with?

The first thing you should know id that picking a paramedic program is critical for your long-term achievement. The wrong training program can render you unprepared for the NREMT examinations, along with the assorted emergencies you'll come upon inside an ambulance or hospital.

With that said, an exceedingly lengthy or pricey training program doesn't necessarily equate to a school that's meets you needs.

If you're looking for which school is best, it's always wise to start with accredited paramedic programs. By 2013, all paramedic students will be required to have passed an accredited paramedic training program should they want to be permitted to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians exams. More than that, however, it's very important to keep in mind that while accelerated programs, hybrid classes, and "medic mills" may very well be very helpful and hassle-free, you should know that outstanding paramedic training demands a great deal more than book smarts or an ability to become a superb test taker.

Patient assessment is extremely important to being an outstanding paramedic. And while some of this is taught, it's through experience within the classroom, clinical, and field internships that b est helps students sharpen such skills. Not all patients able to related their problems or health issues to a paramedic, therefore it is up to the working medic to effectively assess people, signs and symptoms, and the injuries of your patients by way o verbal and non-verbal communication.
