Do Correct Investment in Business Opportunities
Business opportunities are only good when you know what you want and what you are doing. All to often people let a good business opportunity pass them by or they will jump into something when they really don’t know what they are getting themselves into. The business opportunities are only as good as the person who is investing in them. If you do things correctly then your business will grow and expand.

Talk to your clients/customers about their experiences. Usually, they will have good things to say. Or at least they may buffet some less-than-glowing reviews with some good stuff. Speaking of “less

Yes - You CAN Compete with Offshore - Part I
American companies historically are driven to look at the bottom line. This is in contrast to German companies, which tend to focus on technology; or Japanese companies, which tend to focus on geography. While the bottom line focus does show a snapshot of company performance, it reveals nothing of what generated that final number OR what can be done to improve it. BUT we use it anyway to make many

So... how have you been building your brand lately?

Now, I'm writing this in my best Barry White voice... "How's your Brand Lo-o-o-o-o-ve, baby?"

It may sound obvious, but increase Brand Love by branding better.

Branding your business better will help you increase awareness, attractiveness, and affection of your prospects (so they become customers), current customers (some people call them clients), and employees (yup, they need to be sold on you, too).

“Huh? I’ve heard of brand awareness, and brand attractiveness I understand, but affection? Brand Love? Is this guy smoking banana peels?”

OK, I admit, that term may be hard to take-- at first. But, haven’t you expressed to someone that you love something? “I love that soda.” “I love their pizza.” “I love that store.”

See? You’ve been enamored with a brand before. And there’s a very good chance you still are. So are other people.

Why would you say you “love” soda, pizza, or a store? Because an important nerve of yours has been hit. Some might call it “the Sweet Spot.” And it may not be all that obvious what that Sweet Spot is.

A soda tastes best to you over all others by iteself. Or it may go better with certain types of food you enjoy. Perhaps your favorite pizza place makes the best tasting pizza. Maybe you enjoy the surroundings and atmosphere as much as the food.

When you think about your favorite shop, maybe you think they always have just what you really want. Maybe you get treated like royalty. Or you feel good you can afford what they have, or because you can get a lot without spending much.

Thankfully, somebody has probably said, “I love that...” about your business. If they haven’t, you probably haven’t been open very long-- or will be open for much longer. Think of the last referral that came in. They probably did so because someone had high praise for you.

Medical Billing - Hiring A QA Tester
In our last installment of medical billing, we looked at what was involved as far as the software company hiring a programmer to create their software that will eventually be sold to the public. But programmers aren't enough because the software needs to be tested. The truth is, programmers make lousy testers because they are biased. That's why the software company needs to hire QA testers to make s

In fact, ask for it.

When it’s really bad, you’ll hear it right away. But when there are minor slip-ups, or things your business may NOT be doing, those can easily fall through the cracks. Always stress you want candid, HONEST answers. If you’re not willing to search out the “bad stuff,” it will only get worse, and small problems can grow exponentially.

Or somebody realizes how you're underserving the market and takes advantage before you do.

So, ask your clients questions casually. Or even print up 100 or so quick response cards with three to five questions. With only a couple of well-worded questions and space for their own additional thoughts, you may not only get good feedback, you might gain insight about your market, operation, or clientele that takes business to the next level.
