    Designing a Brand for Your Business
    The most crucial part of a branding is it will often be the first or only impression that you leave with most of your future clients.Branding is the process of creating a specific strong, memorable image and identity for your business. Using good design techniques and responding to clients objectives including perception and using it to your advantage, positioning in the marketplace and so on. A strong identity should be memorable and have total flexibility to work through all media from letterhead through to on screen promotions (small on a website). How many times h

    So You Want to Be Your Own Boss? (Or: the Rewards and Challenges of Self-Employment)
    According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are more than 10 million self-employed workers in the United States and that number is increasing - for good reason. Being your own boss means not worrying you'll be laid off or fired. It allows you to create your own work schedule. It holds out the promise of great financial reward. It frees you from having to attend mind-numbing staff meetings. In short, self-employment lets you call the shots.Being your own boss is not, however, without significant challenges. Potential concerns include, but are not limited to:
    Incentive Plans Should Be Universal

    Get your entire staff to pull in the same direction by designing your incentive plan to include all employees at some level of participation and only after a temporary evaluation period with the company (often 90 days). Many plans include part timers as well as full timers but at a somewhat lesser share of the proceeds.

    Incentives Must Be Significant and of Perceived Value to the Recipient

    To create a real incentive, the recipient must perceive the potential reward as a significant addition to income. Otherwise, the incentive is looked upon as deserved supplemental income or even a “benefit”. To add further to the perceived value, there should be public (company) recognition of the employees’ performance.

    Discussing The Pains of Change with Clients
    This month we discuss what so many professionals miss with their prospects and that often cause surprises after the project has started. It is discussing the pains of change with clients. The problem is that very often clients invite your to their sinking ships hoping that you get their sinking ships into smooth cruising mode again within a day or two, and often for a competitive(ly low) fee.And when this doesn’t happen (According to Dr. Edgar Schein, over 90% of consulting projects fail because of undisclosed events, non-discussable and lack of action o

    Leads Groups or Power Teams - How Can You Use Them Effectively
    Leads groups can be just as powerful as a Power Team if you are able to work them properly. I try to scout out as many lead groups as I can and before making any commitment, I like to gather the cards of each member and set an introductory appointment. I explore what they do and who their best customer is. I also let them know what I do and what I think is my best customer. The final part of the meeting is spent exploring our current database of clients to see if there is a fit. Unlike a Power Team, the leads generated are simply that, leads. We do not collaborate on the p

    Recruiting Fees & Why People Gladly Pay Them
    If your company is not use to paying recruiting fees to an outside firm in order to attract talent, you need to ask yourself the following question: can you afford not to pay fees, if you can’t fill a position or make a mis-hire?Not filling key sales and marketing positions when your company is trying to grow will constrain your company’s revenue growth potential. Even worse, if you make the wrong hire and settle for less than the best, you could end up spending lots of money without getting the results that you’re looking for. This is why so many companies in a

    Career as a Franchise Founder
    One of the most rewarding jobs to have is to be the Founder of a very fast moving company and really no company moves much faster than a franchising company on the go. Of course such a career path is a difficult one, but if you are looking for fast-paced action, excitement and challenge then this could be the right career path for you. If you choose such a career you will be working 17-hour days with few days off if any.For nearly two-decades I ran a Franchising Company before retirement and it was a fast paced, high stress job, but it was challenging and fun running

    Incentives Should Relate to Individual Performance

    A factor in the determination of how much an individual employee receives should be their performance rating as determined by their last formal job review and appraisal. All other things being equal, a superior job performance should command a higher share of the incentive proceeds.

    An Incentive Plan Should Include a Factor for the Employee’s Overall Job Responsibility

    It is reasonable to relate an employee’s rating for incentive purposes to their overall responsibility in the company as determined by the number of employees supervised and/or budget for which they hav
