Outsourced Learning: Are You Ready for Learning BPO?
As the business world enters a period of hyper-competitiveness, every business process will be subjected to examination and possible restructuring. We have already seen outsourcing and offshoring used to an extent what nobody would have dreamed of a few years ago. McDonald’s is testing the offshoring of its drive-thru process to India. How about, “Do you want fries with that?” with a New Delhi accent?Even though McDonald’s testing of business process outsourcing (BPO) has caused quite a stir, it’s only the beginning. What started as

As a franchisor I am always asked by new and existing franchisees about future expansion. I find this to be a most wonderful question because I admire the strength of today’s entrepreneur. With all and over regulation we still see hard chargers willing to battle the Tsunami of laws, rules and regulations as the debris rushes ashore. Indeed, with the Hurricane of lawyers presently in practice and Earthquake stampeding new attorneys getting out of law school, it is amazing the new warriors of free enterprise still press. Yes, in fact the modern entrepreneur has more floating and flying debris then ever before in our nations history. The of course want to shoot all the lawyers and regulators who have never made an honest dollar in their entire lives, yet no one has that much ammo and it is time consuming to run down all the much mold and slime.

As a franchisor to protect the integrity of our franchise system we had devised a fair plan for our expanding team members, which ought to looked at whether you are a franchisor or franchisee. Such policies keep the lawyers and the sneaky little petty bureaucrats behind the walls of the castle sweating it out inside their Trojan horse like the viruses and contaminators of free enterprise that they are.

Here is the policy, which is an excerpt of our Confidential Operations Manual of one of our brands. You should follow the thought process here to learn from our experiences:

“Buying of New Exclusive Territory for Your Franchise”

“Now, before we sell a territory containing a city that is next to the one you are in to a new prospective franchisee, we would obviously ask you if you wanted to be the person to buy that exclusive territory. If you did, and you had the necessary financing available and were in good standing in our system, then we would sell it to you instead of the newcomer.”

How To Build A Global Brand
One of the most exciting efficiencies in business is the Global Brand. A global brand allows tremendous economies of scale, especially in marketing communications investments. However, these economies of scale can only be achieved, if brand impact is not sacrificed in the process.Doesn’t this seem to be a contradiction in terms? How can Brand, which is typically optimized for a specific market and a specific offering be implemented across widely different countries and work equally hard for all of the markets and for all of the o

10 Steps Towards A Stress-Free Introduction Into Management
Becoming a manager for the first time can be an unnerving and sometimes stressful experience. In many cases, organisations expect you to immediately jump into the role and begin to perform as if you have been there for years. Also, you may have been promoted "out of the blue" and as such have not taken part in any "succession planning" that would have prepared you for the management role.If you follow the ten steps outlined then you will put yourself in a much better position to develop into your management role than perhaps may hav

Office Supplies and Client Relation
Every office is different and subscribes to different needs under even a single product category.However, it is not always possible for the managers to track and answer all the minute details of the needs of employees in a comparatively bigger office.

The 5 Most Important Things to Know When Writing Your Resume
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a resume as a short account of one's career and qualifications prepared typically by an applicant for a position.The reality is that when you create your resume, you are like an artist/painter.

Paint a dud and your own resume will abuse you.The main purpose of a resume along with the accompanying cover letter is to get you the interview, pure and simple.The way to accomplish this is to show

“The reason is it is easier to sell it to you rather then to train a brand new person and start from scratch. Obviously if you are in business with us as a franchisee and you are doing well we want you to continue to do well. But we want you to continue to do well in your exclusive new territory as well as your present territory. So all of those factors have to be considered. Also, do you have the staff or do you have a truck manager to run the additional unit in the next territory? We want market domination. But to have market domination you need market penetration. To have market penetration you need market share. But to have market share, you have to be better than your competition. You have to be able to service more people faster, better and more efficiently. But to do that you may need an additional service unit and you may need newly trained managers”.

“All these factors are taken into consideration during our evaluation as to whether or not we will sell you any additional territory. But of course we are in it to win it all the way. We support our team and we always try to hire from within first. So we would rather help our own team expand their business rather then bring on a newcomer outside of the team and risk having someone that was not as efficient as you and to lose temporary market share during the training period.”

“So if your business is operating up to standards, we definitely want you to buy the territory next door and then hopefully to buy all the territories surrounding your city and have a very large, exclusive territory. That would be best for the team, if we had one franchisee for every ten cities. Of course, to expand to ten cities will cost you more money and for us to grant those to you, you would have to be doing well in all the previous cities, one through nine.”

I hope you have enjoyed both my opinions and perceptions of the reality of today’s market place and the tid bit of wisdom in expansion policies of home based and mobile franchise businesses. Most franchisors should agree with this policy out of simply pure fundamental principles Most franchisees should understand the need for such policies. So when a new prospective franchisee or existing franchisee of my system asks me about such thing, this is where I derive
