Light Up Necklaces Help Promote Red Doors Movie at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival Awards
June 13, 2005 -- Jane Chen (Producer) of the Red Doors Movie stated, “The necklaces have been a huge hit. Several people have offered to buy them. They are great at parties and at screenings - the red glow looks really cool in a dark room. Everybody asks about them when they see them so it's a great entre into talking about the fil

hat this can happen and it has before. If these customers you have been servicing are very important to you, you may want to purchase that additional area. We of, course, would love for you to have this as part of your exclusive territory because you are one of our best franchisees. Contact your regional director to start the negotiation process. And, by the way, don’t bring your attorney to the negotiations. This is a very informal proc

5 Personality Traits of Success
Successful men/women seem to have basic personality and character traits that lead them to great wealth and accomplishments. Some of the men/women use one combination of skills to achieve their goals while others use a different combination. Despite these differences all of the men/women have basic skills that comprise the canvass

Franchisors often have issues when they own a brand which has service vehicles; where franchisees wish to operate in non-franchise assigned territories. We had this as a re-occurring issue in our franchise system. We came up with this policy, which is also in our Confidential Operations Manuals. Here is a sample policy for our franchisees:

“Unlicensed Areas”

“If you are called into an unlicensed territory for service, you may service that particular client. You will obviously pick up additional clients in those areas from referrals, leads and people who see the truck. It’s ok to service these customers. However, you must:

Not have over one-third of your clientele out of your exclusive territory

Give up these clients if we sell that adjacent territory to a new franchisee

You must let us know which other area you are working in

We don’t recommend washing cars outside your exclusive territory because it will cost you many hours in travel time over the course of a week. Fifteen minutes here, twenty minutes there. It adds up, trust us. We have assigned you an exclusive area, which will more than suffice. After all:

You know the area

You live in the territory

You have a perfect mix of business

We spent money marketing that area

If you are occasionally called to a non-assigned or unlicensed territory and you find another franchisee is also working that area, it’s ok to split the area amongst yourselves with the understanding that which ever buildings/customers they were doing prior to your coming in that area you should honor. You and the other franchisee might both have to give up those customers if we sell or assign that territory and retreat back to your exclusive territory. Be advised that this can happen and it has before. If these customers you have been servicing are very important to you, you may want to purchase that additional area.

Keeping Abreast Of Your Domain ...Updates and Keeping Up With It All
Another major complaint that most business owners have is all the reading they need to do to keep abreast of what is happening in their business area. Again time management and organization can be a tremendous help. Be sure to put your reading times in your daily schedule. Schedule a half hour in the morning to read at lea

Major Elements of Operating Agreement for Limited Liability Companies

What About Bob? Further Lessons in Implementing a Diversity Strategy
A recent movie starring Richard Dreyfus and Bill Murray tells the story of a man desperately trying to be included as a member of his psychiatrist's family. Whenever the doctor attempted to exclude him, his family would respond by asking, "What about Bob?"In the midst of all the work relating to diversity in the wo

Business Accounting and Your Business Success
If you do not have the right small business accounting system you will not have your hand on the pulse of your home based business. Many people think accounting is dull and nonproductive, but good accounting will let you know exactly where your home based business is financially at any given time.With a good small business

We are all on the same team. If you can handle the additional customer demand and our staff likes you, I’m sure we can negotiate a fair deal for all concerned.”

If you are a franchisor of a home based or service franchise system you must address this situation or you might wind up in court defending what is generally understood by all parties anyway. Think about this and get your policy ready and let it be known.

When affirmative action categories are closely examined, we find that nearly everyone is covered in some form except one group--non-immigrant, non-Hispanic, able-bodied, heterosexual, white males. Diversity strategies can be implemented without these white men feeling left out or excluded. In fact, it is imperative for organizational morale that everyone feels included in your diversity plan.

Introductions are easy - Find out who they know and get that person to introduce you to the target

Worldwide metal production is ascertained directly through ore deposits from mining, smelting, and refining. What are secondary metals? They are metals discarded through industrial and manufacturing operations or as commercial products that are now obsolete. The benefit that recycling provides is that we return these waste materials back into the general manufacturing so they can be used for the production of new metal products, thus saving costs and making things more efficient in general. The secondary metals industry is involved in all aspects of this process, from locating scrap, to getting it to a recycle facility and then re-using the material for new metal-based products.
