			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">How To Make People Appreciate Your Newsletter</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Newsletters are meant to be a window into your company. People read newsletters because they want to know how well your company is doing and what is going on. Consider it like going into the same store over and over again where you know the people working there and you like to ask them about their life. You have struck up a kind of friendship with them and you want to know who they are.</strong></p>
<p>This is why people read newsletters, and why companies get newsletter printing done.</p>
<p>The first mistake a company can make with their newsletter is to fail to realize this. The way this affects the outcome of their newsletter is that they pick subjects that are not going to be important to the people who are reading them.</p>
<p>Often a company starts to write a newsletter more like they would something to their employees rather than their customers. They start using language the average person would not understand, and they start talking about things without really explaining all the details. After all, their employees would already know these details, so why should they need to explain further?</p>
<p>Forgetting who your real audience is can be a lot easier to do than you might think. In fact, if you are so sure you will not forget who your audience is you are marketing yourself more likely to do just that. It slips past you because you are not thinking about it enough, and you lapse into language your customers would not understand without realizing you are doing it.</p>
<p>The next problem has to do with repetition, and this is an issue that comes up quite a bit. After getting <a href="http://www.printplace.com/mkt/newsletter-printing.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">newsletter printing</a> done for enough years many companies start to grow bored with what they are doing and their newsletter noticeably suffers because of it. They start repeating subjects and having no real enthusiasm for what they are writing.</p>
<p>If you are not varying things up than how exactly are you supposed to stay enthused? If you are not enthused than I can assure you that your customers are not going to be for very long either.</p>
<p>Do not just send out newsletters because you have been sending them out for so long you are not about to quit now. If you have no true reason anymore to make your newsletter than either change it or quit making one at all. Change the status quo and shake up the system a little bit. That is the best way to keep people interested.</p>
<p>Finally, be as natural as possible. I have encountered too many newsletters filled to the brink with false or over the top enthusiasm. People are only going to believe so much enthusiasm before it starts to seem very fake and it harms the points being made.</p>
<p>Sometimes the best way to talk is by being candid and to the point with them. Your customers will appreciate it more than you might realize.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Getting the Small Business Start Up Help that You Need</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>When you first decide to start your own small business, you realize you can use all the start up help you can get. The federal government can be a great source for assistance, and shouldn&#8217;t be overlooked. They can provide small business start up help in many different ways. This article will discuss three areas that your government offers help in getting your small business off the ground.</strong> </p>
<p>1. Every small business needs money, and the government can help you get the cash you need in two different ways. The first option available is a loan. Believe it or not, the government provides hundreds of millions of dollars in funding specifically for small business and entrepreneurs. There are a ton of different loans created specifically for special circumstances. For example, low-income businesses, handicapped individuals, military veterans, women owned small businesses, and many more. </p>
<p>The second option for getting the small business start up funding that you need would be applying for one of the fifteen hundred grants that are available through the fifty-two government agencies. These grants are separated and grouped by state and business category. Some categories include but are not limited to general business, agriculture and real estate. There is also grant money available for research and development of your business. Many of these types of grants start at five thousand dollars and can end in the six figures. The best thing about receiving government grants is that the money never has to be paid back. This kind of small business start up help is like receiving free money.</p>
<p>2. So now you&#8217;re getting the small business start up help you need in terms of money, but what about other assistance? The government can also help you in this area as well. They offer assistance for small business development, renovation and expansion. There are fifteen hundred different government sources that can provide the needed assistance for your small business. </p>
<p>The best place to start looking for this kind of information is the Small Business Administration (SBA). You can find out more information by looking in your phone book, online or the help desk at your local library. The government can provide counseling and training to improve skills to help manage and operate your small business. There are some forms and guidelines that are to be completed. Government and private foundations are a good source if you want to find some examples of these forms and more detailed information. These types of books can be found at your local library as well.</p>
<p>3. Small business start up help in terms of money and assistance is no longer a concern. You may, however, require advisory services, and the government can help with that also. Advisory services will assist you in improving your management skills and labor management relations. This is very important knowledge that you should know when beginning your business.</p>
<p>There is so much small business start up help that the federal government can do to get your business up and running. You just need to take the time to find your local sources and get the whole process started. Make sure to take advantage of these offers, since they&#8217;re available to you. It&#8217;s not everyday someone will hand you free money that will go to making yourself more money. So don&#8217;t wait any longer, get the small business start help that you need to make your business successful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Affordable Envelope And Hand Enclosing Services</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>It is important for businesses to secure affordable envelope and hand enclosing services within their fulfilment operations. Many companies automate the process wherever possible to achieve such cost efficiencies. It is understood that such an approach can be four, sometimes five times cheaper than hand enclosing.</strong> </p>
<p>Most envelope enclosing machines have several feeding stations or a &lsquo;hopper&rsquo; which is arranged in order beside a conveyor belt. By defining the enclosing sequence, each hopper is dedicated to feeding one specific mailing item only. During this procedure, mailing items are collated in sequence before being simultaneously enclosed into an envelope. This happens at very high speed &ndash; some machines are capable of enclosing and sealing 13,000 envelopes per hour therefore it comes as no surprise that significant cost savings as aforementioned can be made. </p>
<p>However, there will be situations whereby the size, weight or shape of the mailing items or envelope can not be machine enclosed and therefore need to be manually inserted. Many organisations will also request items to be cross-matched and hand matching is often the only solution available. Or, it could be a simple direct mail piece of low volume which would result in <a href="http://www.2touch.co.uk/enclosingServices.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">hand enclosing</a> being more suitable. Regardless of what is required, your customer management company should be able to offer a full suite of services.</p>
<p>Hand enclosing can encompass the following: polybagging &#8211; inserting folders and wallets, collating and inserting into ring binders, hand folding or machine folding, affixing labels and packing of promotional items. </p>
<p>What may seem an easy task at first can actually turn out to be far more complex a situation. When enclosing material by hand, the accurate folding of paper work, sometimes to tolerances of 1 mm and achieving such targets regularly can be extremely demanding for the packer. Some organisations will expect to see 50 sets of literature being packed and sealed every hour, with 100% accuracy. Hand enclosing does however, allow for more complex folds and more literature to be inserted which may not often be possible with machine enclosing. </p>
<p>When conducting work of this nature it is vital that regular quality checks are carried out to guarantee high levels of accuracy. Every packer conducting hand enclosing jobs should have their work checked by someone within the quality control division. <br />About Author:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Methods for Small Business Accounting</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Small business accounting plays a crucial role in deciding the success of a business enterprise. Financial matters related to small businesses are a little different from that of the large business firms. So, if you wish to administer your business in a proper way, understating of these accounting matters are mandatory. Optimum utilization of funds, correct business activities, right credit allocation and timely evaluation of competitors along with effective decision making are all necessary for small business accounting professionals.</strong> </p>
<p>There are primarily three main financial measures that are involved in the management of accounting details of a small business. This includes cash flow statement, profit and less account and the balance sheet. </p>
<p>The balance sheet presents the worth of the business and lists the liabilities and assets of the small business throughout the year. The profit earned or the loss incurred by the business is all calculated by the profit and less account. This statement shows the performance of the business and covers either the quarterly report or the monthly report. </p>
<p>The cash flow statement is prepared so as to know about the cash balances of the small business firm in future. This statement predicts about the cash requirements of the small business in future. </p>
<p>Usually, there are two methods that can be utilized for <a href="http://www.impacctusa.com/advanced_services.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">small business accounting</a>. The first method is the cash basis method that involves identification of cash receipts as the expenses and income and bill payments are seen as expenses. This method is used by most small business owners as it uncomplicated and can be easily implemented. </p>
<p>Accrual method is the second method to maintain accounting books in small business. In this method, revenue that is entered in the account books does not rely on the real cash collection. If a sale is made, the product is recorded in the books as &ldquo;accounts receivable&rdquo;, no matter if the amount has been paid by the customer or not. Further, when the amount is received from the customer, &ldquo;accounts receivable&rdquo; turns into cash and registered into the accounting books. Similarly, if there is any expenditure that is incurred by a small business, it is written to be an expense in the book of accounts, even the bill is paid after a long span of time. Usually, small business that deals in manufacturing businesses, employ this accrual method to maintain their accounting books. </p>
<p>There are also several accounting software that are especially designed for small businesses and their requirements. Generating reports, storage data and performing calculations and managing other such accounting transactions can easily be sorted out with the help of these software. Using these software makes the work of accountants of these small firms not only easily manageable but also this is a very cost-effective option. </p>
<p>Small business owners may also seek assistance from accounting outsourcing firm for the proper management of their accounts and to hire proficient accounting services at affordable rates. So, select the small business accounting firm that suits your budget as well as requirements and lessen the burden of your accounting tasks as early as possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">With Recession Expected To Last, Which Franchise Businesses Will Succeed?</font> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Obviously, we&rsquo;re in the midst of a recession; that&rsquo;s been the buzzword for too long now to ignore it. But the question rising to the surface of people&rsquo;s minds now is exactly how long this downward trend is going to last.</strong></p>
<p>A recent survey of top economists has concluded that, if professional estimates are right, recession is likely to last through 2009. Of course, no one can definitively say what the future holds, but of 102 of today&rsquo;s great economic minds, all but 10 held far more pessimistic outlooks than they had only 3 months prior. Of them, 79% expected an economic growth of no more than 1% over the next year, and 38% felt that the economy would most likely continue to shrink. Only 36% of those surveyed believe that all the government&rsquo;s efforts to turn things around were having any kind of a positive impact, while the vast majority see no fruit from all the government has tried to do to free up the credit situation. All things considered, these 102 professionals do not have high expectations for 2009.</p>
<p>If their predictions prove true, those in the business world do not have a great deal to look forward to, and those hoping to break into the business world have a potentially steep road ahead of them. There is, however, a very stark difference between steep and impossible, and even though the economy, present and future, may not be pretty, there are still ways that franchises can help new business owners make their way even in long-term recession. The following are some of the business opportunities that franchising offers in what some people consider recession-proof industries.</p>
<p>Alliance Cost Containment</p>
<p>Thriving for the very reason that so many businesses are suffering, Alliance Cost Containment franchisees are some of the best in the business at analyzing a client company spending to establish new ways of cutting costs and saving money in tough times. Franchisees work from home and are trained how to address 35 specific areas of business finance that most companies struggle with. There is limited travel involved, and franchisees have consistent access to ongoing training and support from central staff and other franchisees who have a wealth of knowledge to share.</p>
<p>Grease Monkey</p>
<p>A great recession-proof business opportunity is the auto industry. Though manufacturing and sales of cars decrease during economic downturn, people are more likely than ever to seek auto service because they don&rsquo;t want to buy a new car. A Grease Monkey franchise is the perfect way to capitalize on this trend. The only nationally recognized lube chain that is not owned by an oil company, this franchise gives franchisees a first class business experience with full training, support, and site-selection services without mandating the use of certain products over others. There is quite a bit of potential success and financial freedom to be had for a Grease Monkey franchisee.</p>
<p>Meineke</p>
<p>This is one of the most well known auto franchises around, with a nationally recognized name that has been seen by millions on TV and print advertising. With a more-than-successful 36-year track-record, Meineke has kept itself up-to-date with current industry trends without losing connection with its traditional, service-oriented roots. Join over 900 other franchisees on their road to success with this shockingly successful business franchise.</p>
<p>Precision Tune Auto Care</p>
<p>Franchisees with this business are brought into a family of franchises whose focus is on serving clients in addition to servicing cars. Though each franchise tends to numerous automotive needs, including air conditioning, brakes, fuel injection, air induction, fluid maintenance, and tune-ups, the key to their success in the industry is being able to call their clients by name, because they keep a standing relationship with each one.</p>
<p>Case Handyman and Remodeling</p>
<p>Home service franchises offer another great business opportunity in the midst of recession, because, though many Americans can&rsquo;t purchase new property, they are still interested in repairing and updating the properties that they have, in case the market turns and they can sell. Case Handyman and Remodeling offers them just such an opportunity, with a home service business model that mixes neighborly treatment with Harvard-level knowledge of the industry. Franchisees are able to start their businesses at whatever size fits them best and are given plenty of room to grow as necessary.</p>
<p>Homeworx</p>
<p>Taking a different approach to the home improvement industry, this business for sale doesn&rsquo;t directly serve clients who want construction services; instead it aids the other businesses doing the construction and remodeling by providing warranty services on their behalf. This frees the other companies to focus on doing the labor that they&rsquo;re assigned to. Franchisees don&rsquo;t necessarily need previous home industry experience, just the willingness to learn from an expert team that does have the experience and can teach them all they need to know.</p>
<p>Return-a-pet</p>
<p>Though it may come as a surprise, the pet industry seems, so far, to be recession-proof. Despite economic decline, people are unwilling to stop spending money on their family pets, and one home based business putting that knowledge to use is Return-a-pet. The system is simple: Return-a-pet has developed a pet registry that people can add their pets to, in case the pet is lost, and receive tags with a custom registration number and a phone number to call if the animal is found. Every home business franchisee pays a one-time licensing fee to become a Return-a-pet distributor and is immediately taught how to market and sell the product.</p>
<p>Though everyone had hopes that this recession would pass quickly, that has not been the case, and according to economic pros, it won&rsquo;t be the case in the near future, either. Recession, however, is not the same as economic collapse. There are still numerous business opportunities that either survive downturn well or miraculously thrive in it. As you give heavy thought to whether or not this is the time to start up a franchise of your own, keep your eye on these industries and see how they continue to prosper in the midst of this economic crucible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Turning A Small Business Franchise Into Big Business</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Often, people looking at purchasing a franchise have their sights and hopes set on wealth and prestige, attaining success with a large business dominant in its market. Of course, that can seem pretty well impossible when what you&rsquo;re starting with is considered a small business. After all, a small business and a big business are by definition two very different things. Still, the ambitious, upwardly mobile entrepreneur needn&rsquo;t fear that beginning with a franchise business considered &#8220;small&#8221; means that it has to remain that way, because there are ways to turn something small into something big, in fact, there are two primary ways of accomplishing that in the small business world.</strong></p>
<p>1. Start Big</p>
<p>Yes, it seems somewhat like a contradiction in terms to say that a small business can start big, but surprisingly, it&rsquo;s true, and depending on your financial status and business history, it may be the most sensible route to take. Many longtime businessmen agree that if you have the desire and ability to go big at the outset, it will financially profit you in the long run. There are at least two examples of franchises with which this is an option.</p>
<p>Mars Venus Coaching is the first. There are two offers on the table for anyone who wants to initiate a franchise with this organization: starting a single franchise unit or a master franchise. There aren&rsquo;t many businesses that offer the latter, but Mars Venus Coaching does, which makes jumping right into large-scale business possible. As the master franchisee, the business owner is responsible for selling and overseeing single-unit franchises in his territory, ensuring that new Mars Venus Coaching coaches are consistently being added to his area and are successfully finding clients for their business and life coaching services.</p>
<p>Another opportunity to jump right to the top of the food chain and establish yourself as a business power, WSI Internet doesn&rsquo;t offer master franchises like Mars Venus Coaching does, but it does offer an abundance of possible business sizes, ranging from simple, one-man work from home to office-based, multi-employee scenarios. Possibly the best internet marketing franchise out there, WSI Internet is designed to allow the up-and-coming franchisee with an itch to succeed to save time by starting big.</p>
<p>2. Start Small and Grow</p>
<p>Though many do recommend starting out with a large business if that&rsquo;s where you eventually want to get to, not everyone has the financial or temporal resources to dive headlong into the huge business of their dreams. And really, taking that leap into a big operation isn&rsquo;t for everyone anyway, because some people need that extra time to grow into the patterns and practices of a small business before applying the same procedures to a larger business is a good idea. It&rsquo;s kind of like starting with training wheels, not because you expect to use them forever, but because you want to get at least a little stable before riding the &#8220;big kids&rsquo; bike.</P><br />
<P>Fortunately, there are more business opportunities available to the entrepreneur wanting to grow rather than start large, and a good starting point is the Home Team Inspection Service. As the owner of your very own home inspection franchise with this brand, you are quickly made ready to succeed in the field, given everything from a complete territory analysis to national marketing and call-center backup. Most importantly, you receive one of the best business models in the industry: instead of inspecting a full home single-handedly, Home Team Inspection Service franchisees work in small teams on each inspection. It&rsquo;s a great way to take care of the day-to-day work, and by training new inspectors, right alongside them, you can slowly build a larger and larger team and a larger and larger business until you, one day, can step back and leave inspecting to your teams of employees while you work on further expansion.</P><br />
<P>Doody Calls is another small home based business that provides plenty of room for growth. Built on the fact that dogs make messes in the yard that owners don&rsquo;t want to clean up, this franchise operation is in the business of scooping poop on designated client routes. As the business begins, it can be nothing more than the franchisee with a truck and a shovel, but from that starting point, the sky is the limit. A franchisee wanting to make a big splash can eventual have fleets of Doody Calls vehicles driving around town scooping pet leftovers for grateful clients who appreciate saving that time.</P><br />
<P>Though it&rsquo;s a slightly different brand of cleaning, Merry Maids provides the same opportunity for the enterprising entrepreneur. Regardless of whether you begin your work with this renowned company as owner and operator or as the overseer of just a handful of employees, there is always room to expand, take on more employees, and serve more homes with your residential cleaning services. This company has 25 years of experience, getting over 1400 franchises up and running and keeping them so, which means that however big you plan to get, they can help you.</P><br />
<P>Some businesses, like the work from home business Fresh Coat Painters, even require franchisees to have a mind for management and expansion. The Fresh Coat Painters mantra is &#8220;painters paint&hellip; we want business owners.&#8221; So as you build your painting franchise, you can be certain that the franchisor&rsquo;s goal is to help you grow.</P><br />
<P>What it Comes to</P><br />
<P>Not everyone wants to keep their business small forever, and if growth is something that you want, know that an initially small size does not limit your potential. Whether you begin with a literal &#8220;small business&#8221; or choose to dive right into the deep end of the larger franchise pool, your outlook remains just as bright and hopeful, so do what works best for your leadership style and your particular business. </P><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Internet Fax for Small Businesses</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Sending and receiving faxes is an important part of many businesses. Fax machines have come a long way since they first became a common fixture in offices, but they still have their difficulties.</strong> </p>
<p>Privacy Issues <br />In an office with a central fax machine, received fax pages can pile up. It&rsquo;s difficult to tell if a fax you sent or expect has been received, and if it has, by whom. An unknown number of your colleagues may have seen the contents of your message before you read it. Consequently, it can be dangerous to send sensitive or personal documents by fax. </p>
<p>Fax Machine Costs<br />The costs for the equipment, toner, and upkeep can be overwhelming for many small business owners. Beyond those expenses are the costs of maintaining a phone line for faxing as well as any long distance charges that are incurred.</p>
<p>The Internet Fax Alternative<br />All of these problems cause many business owners to seek another option. Fortunately, an internet fax service like eFax provides an excellent alternative. </p>
<p>Privacy Solutions<br />With an internet fax, your faxes can be delivered right to your personal email address. No prying eyes will be able to reach your document. You will know immediately when your fax arrives and won&rsquo;t have to hunt for the piece of paper in an accumulated stack. It also makes it easy to keep track of your faxes anywhere you can receive email. When you send a fax, you receive easy confirmation that the fax has gone through successfully to your recipient.</p>
<p>Internet Fax Cuts Costs<br />With no machine to buy and maintain, an internet fax service saves your business money up front. However, it also means that you have a predictable cost that you can budget rather than the unpleasant surprise</p>
<p>of a massive fax machine repair bill. If your business sends a significant number of long-distance or international faxes, you may be astonished by the amount of money an internet fax saves you. </p>
<p>What to Look for in an Internet Fax Service<br />Before choosing your internet fax service, think about what would make it most successful for you and look for a service with according features. Are you most concerned about reliability? Check out the track record of services you consider. Do you need mobile flexibility? Make sure that the service you choose will be compatible with the way in which you want to access it. Do you have a fax number that you want to keep? Choose a service that offers this feature. If you need a toll-free number or a number with a specific area code, ensure that this service is available from the provider you choose.</p>
<p>You will certainly want to know that your internet fax service is secure. Look for a service with a communications network protected by a firewall and other security technology. In case you ever run into problems you will also want responsive and fast customer support, so find out what kind of support your service provider offers. </p>
<p>The internet fax is a great leap forward in the world of communicating by fax for small businesses. Give it a try for your business or personal matters and find out for yourself how easy, convenient, and cost-effective an internet fax service can be.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Entrepreneurship &#8211; How To Start Your Business</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Do you know what an automobile and a business have in common? Both need to be started, and both need to be run.</strong> </p>
<p>In business, it is the entrepreneur who is responsible for business start up, while it is the manger who is responsible for running the business. Generally, the entrepreneur is not equally gifted for starting a business and managing it, and the manager, again, is not equally gifted as an innovator and being able to run a business.</p>
<p>What is the basic component of any business? It starts with a good idea. However, please be aware that all good ideas do not necessarily make a good, viable business. Why is that? Let me explain. </p>
<p>Good ideas must be tested for realizability. How do you do this? The first step is to validate the market. While you may feel very passionate and excited about your good idea, you are the seller, not the buyer. You need to determine if there are enough other people who feel as excited and passionate as you do about your idea, AND are ready, willing and able to open their wallets and part with their hard earned money to pay you enough, and often enough, so you can sustain your business.</p>
<p>This market research can be done by you, and can be done by a paid professional. However, this is the first step that must be done &ndash; you must verify the market size and demand, for the market is finite and demand is finite. The question becomes, &ldquo;Is the market size and demand sufficient to support my business?&rdquo; If so, it is time to take the next step. If not, it is important to ask why, as there may be some way to resurrect your idea in a different manner so it can become a successful business.</p>
<p>With a good idea and substantiated market demand statistics, you may find it necessary to get some money to get going. To approach institutions or friends or family, you will need to package your findings in a compelling manner. This is called a business plan, and should have your market data, cost data, pricing data, and a simple analysis showing that you can sell enough, at a high enough price, often enough, to support your ongoing business.</p>
<p>Once you have secured your funding, it is important to ask yourself, how, where and when can your customer reach you to do business? If you are going to have a &ldquo;retail&rdquo; location, you want to get drive by statistics, walk by statistics and sales statistics for the location(s) you are considering.</p>
<p>So now you are in business with a big pretty sign over your door, and you are waiting for customers to beat a path to your location and buy, buy, buy from you. While you know where you are and what a wonderful offering you have, all your desired customers may not know that you exist, where you are, what wonderfulness you offer, when you are open, what you can do for them, or how they will benefit by doing business with you. </p>
<p>To let the world, and especially your desired customers know about you, you need to determine the best way of reaching them with your message, and then do so. Advertising is both a science and an art, and each campaign must be tested and tracked. You don&rsquo;t want to pay for no results, so you want to keep track of how your customers found out about you, so you can judge the cost effectiveness of your ad campaign.</p>
<p>Last, and most important, is to keep in tune with changing customer desires, and determine how to profitably align your business to deliver what the customer wants to buy today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Tax Planning for Business Losses in 2008</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>As we come to the conclusion of 2008, many businesses have lost money in this year. The economy for 2009 looks very volatile and some industries may start to recover in 2009, while others may take a little longer. One positive area to bring to the table is that the price of oil has decreased significantly and regular gas prices have come down to $2.00 or so per gallon depending upon your location.</strong> </p>
<p>The question through this difficult year where losses have mounted up, why do you have to tax plan? If you were profitable in year 2006 and/or 2007 and paid business taxes in those years, you may be entitled due a tax refund in 2008 to recover part or all of these monies paid in previous years. This tax recovery is called a net operating loss carryback claim&#8230;This situation applies to proprietorships, corporations, limited liability corporations, and so forth.</p>
<p>The first part of this discovery phase is to identify whether you are a qualified individual and/or company to recapture monies paid in from prior years&#8230;It would be a good idea to obtain from your accountant, bookkeeper, CPA, or your own in house books an updated balance sheet and profit and loss statement for 2008. Additionally, you may want to locate your 2006 and 2007 either personal and or corporate tax returns and review the past years information. If you have paid business taxes in those past years and are in loss situation for 2008, there is a good chance you will be able to recover either partial or all monies paid to the government for 2006 and/or 2007.</p>
<p>.If you are a farmer and have losses in 2008, you should locate your 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 prior years tax returns because your eligible carryback years extend back for five years. Everybody else, for the most part, can carry back their business losses two years&#8230;</p>
<p>Once you have located your prior years tax returns and reviewed the business taxes paid into those years, compare this to the 2008 Profit and Loss Statement. It is good idea that your 2008 information should be current and accurate because it could have a major effect on your decision making. Assuming you are in a loss situation for 2008, you may want to plan you year end cash flow accordingly. For this illustration, we will assume everyone is on a cash not accrual basis accounting system. Because of your tax situation and the possibility of recovering a tax refund back in early 2009, you may, if cash flow permits, pay more bills in December 2008 than the normal January 2009 payment cycle. The bottom line here is that a qualified professional should be assisting you at this stage because of the cash flow and tax effect though the period ending December 31, 2008. The professional cost vs tax recovery benefit could be a big plus to you.</p>
<p>This carryback claim process is important because it can generate needed working capital if the economy hasn&#8217;t recovered in your niche for 2009. Additionally, with all the available acquisition and financing deals available for commercial vehicles, construction trucks, office equipment, computer systems etc, these monies could be used as a down payment or a combination of working capital and acquisition funds. </p>
<p>These carryback claims can be carried back two years, except for farmers, five for them, and if needed carry forward for twenty years. It doesn&#8217;t matter what your business structure is&#8230;There are exemptions to these rules and you should consult your tax professional for advise on these carry back and carry forward rules. </p>
<p>For illustration the types of industries that would qualify for these carryback losses include construction, trucking, farming, restaurants, all retail shops, mail centers, franchise operations, consulting firms, manufacturers, wholesalers, service providers, This is obvious a partial list of qualified businesses. In addition, the type of entity doesn&#8217;t play a role in these carryback claims. There are a few exceptions to the rules, therefore consult a good tax adviser.</p>
<p>In addition to the carry back rules, there are numerous business and individual tax changes for 2008. It would be a good idea to get a head start at the end of this year to understand them and see if there are any you want to take advantage of before December 31, 2008.</p>
<p>In conclusion, 2008 was a trying year for many, but this recapture of tax monies shouldn&#8217;t be ignored. If done properly, you can get a head start on 2009 and have a profitable and less stressful year&#8230; &#8230; Who says Tax Planning is boring</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Personalizing beer mugs</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Beer mugged policy are not narrow to arrest glasses with distracting dimpled surfaces. They come in a gathering of shapes &amp; sizes that are, in detail, personalized to a particular beer. They are planned specifically to enhance a beer&#8217;s characteristics, distinguishing it from other types. Some pose effervescence &amp; clarity in a long &amp; weak vessel, while a few bowl-shaped to increase odour &amp; highlight the beer journey. There&#8217;s also personalized beer mugs that platform elaborate detailed stoneware textures. These, by the way, are called beer steins (traditional French versions may come in pewter, silver, forest, pottery, earthenware or flute). With a hinged lid &amp; levered thumb lift, these personalized beer mugs are intended to thwart flies from receiving into the beer.</strong></p>
<p>Personalizing beer mugs such as tulips &amp; snifters, whose character allows swirling to stir volatiles, are especially fine for holding in the pungent zest of brandy &amp; cognac. The American shaker pint tumbler, meanwhile, offers little whiff containment, as it is more correct for quota stouts, porters &amp; English ales. Nevertheless it is often described as one of the personalized beer mugs that are bad choices for tasting no matter what logo is sprayed on the area, gratitude to the flared top. So preclude it. Anyway, here are a few of the favourites:</p>
<p>Goblet or Chalice<br />Stemmed, bowl-shaped personalized beer mug adequate for quota overcast Belgian ales, French bocks &amp; other big-sipping beer. The goblet looks more delicate as its frail parapet. A prize, on the other hand, is profound &amp; thick walled. Some chalice-lettering personalized beer mugs are impressed on the floor to invite carbon dioxide &amp; grant a spurt of suds, maintaining a nice skull.</p>
<p>Flute goblet<br />A personalized beer mug for Belgian limbic &amp; fruit beer. Its narrow whittle helps assert carbonation while providing an eager perfumed front. Flute glasses showcase the carbonation that occurs, featuring no minus than the gleaming affect &amp; easy lacing of this method.</p>
<p>Ochoko<br />It is the most-admired beer mug for sake. A small cup seen in endless varieties, insignia &amp; shapes, the ochoko is typically broad at the shaft to penalize the odour of the sake to breathe gently upward.</p>
<p>Pilsner wineglass<br />A pilsner figure is normally a personalized beer mug for light beer, but it is primarily intended for its namesake, the pilsner. Pilsner glasses are lesser than a pint flute, usually with 250 or 330 mL office. Tall, willowy &amp; tapered lacking a curve, such personalized beer mugs showcase the colour, effervescence &amp; clarity of the pilsner. They also fashion a well-shaped beer command.</p>
<p>New Glass for the Craft Beer<br />An unnamed schooner invent was created by Jim Koch, fail of Sam Adams Brewery, to &#8220;elevate the wiliness beer experience.&#8221; This personalized beer mugged is shaped parallel to a wheat beer schooner, extensive with a large bulb near the top of the beaker. The final, however, is much shorter. Such an uncategorized personalized beer mug has an obvious lip, delivering the beer to the front of the tongue where pureness of the malt is tasted.</p>
<p>Wheat Beer fluted<br />A wheat beer beaker is a personalized beer mug worn to wait wheat beer, known also as Weizenbier. This French glass holds up to 500mL &amp; still has scope for foam. Much taller than pint glasses, such personalized beer mugs are narrow at the underside &amp; somewhat wider at the top. The height allows for thick, fluffy heads &amp; intense aroma.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Do Not Let Your Catalogs Suffer</font> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The first issue I am going to discuss have to do with product descriptions, and both are the opposite sides of the same issue.</strong></p>
<p>Just how much information do you put in your product descriptions when you get catalog printing done? Are you using a solid paragraph to make your point, or are you branching out into multiple paragraphs to try to say everything? How many of those details are really necessary and how much of it can be cut out without harming the description?</p>
<p>I come across a lot of product descriptions that are far too long and say much more than they really have to. I end up quitting before I am done reading it because I just get so bored with what the thing is trying to say. Sometimes I just get the point rather quickly and I am instead looking for some technical details about the product, or how I am supposed to order it.</p>
<p>The other side of it is a scarce description that does not say nearly enough. I see the product in the picture but I cannot understand exactly what it does. There might be some prime feature that I would have loved that the description never even mentioned. I have had this happen plenty of times, and I only found out about the features long after the fact when I saw someone else who had it.</p>
<p>Next consider the placement of the different products in your catalogs against how popular they are. This is a common practice for <a href="http://www.printplace.com/printing/booklets.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">catalog printing</a>, but something that still gets ignored too often. If you have a product that sells a lot than put it up front and give it more space to work with.</p>
<p>You want to showcase your best products so people are going to be immediately interested when they first pick up your catalog, and they will be encouraged to continue flipping through it.</p>
<p>Another thing to do is space out your good products so people will not get all of the nicely designed pages in the front, and a whole slew of simple, basic looking pages for the second half of the catalog. Divide up all of your products across the entire catalog and begin each new section of the catalog with the best products for that particular section.</p>
<p>Lastly consider where the contact and order information is in your catalog. This is a particular pet peeve of mine because I just see it so often. I get a catalog, find something I like, and cannot for the life of me figure out how I am supposed to order it. Maybe I am just dense, but that does not change the fact that the company just lost a sale because I am too frustrated to care anymore about making any kind of purchase. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">The night life of a 24 hour Cobble Hill Locksmith</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>When we are lock out of our vehicles in the middle of the night, who do we call? None other than the 24 hour locksmith. Such people are vital and pose a hazard to themselves functioning late round the clock in 12 hour shifts. The crisis locksmith has to ride a bike to your location where you probably mislaid your keys to rescue you from your predicament. The anguish calls a locksmith may chang in frequency depending on their clients who revel late at night during the holidays. The rate of calls will multiply as a lot of people come out late at night to party with their friends and all of a sudden found that they have lost their car keys.</strong></p>
<p>Who needs such service</p>
<p>The community who are locked out of their shelters also require such services &ndash; to be able to go in their homes and seek safe haven again. Occasionally, one may be locked out from outside the house due to damaged lock, etc. With a hand phone in the pocket, you can phone your trusted urgent situation locksmith to come to your release &ndash; to pick locks of your gate and to come in and unbolt the room door for you. They are a life saver at times and especially during critical needs like being late for a gathering and being locked out either from your car.</p>
<p>Need a Dedicated 24 hour locksmith</p>
<p>To be an emergency locksmith, you need to hire skilled people to work for you and be enthusiastic to their job. You don&rsquo;t require someone who procrastinate to arrive to another location where time is of utmost importance. The extra time you wait, the more upset you become and hence you need someone who can be there within 10 minutes in the middle of the night.</p>
<p>Not for any Tom, Dick or Harry</p>
<p>Being a really specialized emergency locksmith needs patience besides knowledge in picking various locks. One may also need to give logical excuses for being late by massive traffic jams because a distressed customer is always moody and annoyed. Hence being an emergency locksmith is not for any Tom, Dick or Harry to embark on. You also need to have a first-class attitude and be enduring with your client who may give you repeat job or by word of mouth advertisement. This is how your can expand your job by offering professional services in a sensible manner. Not everyone can pick locks easily and it takes experience and practice to be a professional emergency locksmith.</p>
<p>Service Round the Clock</p>
<p>As people commute round the clock especially transport companies ferrying raw materials from one location to another, the drivers are bound to make mistakes like losing their vehicle keys at a godforsaken time and isolated place. Therefore a 24 hour locksmith needs to service such clients round the clock moving to far abandoned places. Due to the nature of their vocation, locksmiths should be suitably compensated for their endeavors and for staying up in the wee hours of the morning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">The Business Credit</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>In any business, you will have to pay your suppliers in time to keep getting the products and run your business in a smooth way. However, you won&rsquo;t be having the cash in your hand all the time to make the purchases. Because in most of the businesses, the customers purchase the products from you on credit basis and you will be waiting for them to pay you. This is where the business credit comes in handy. The business credit fills the gap of the time delay of getting the cash from your customers. This keeps your suppliers and customers happy and satisfied.</strong></p>
<p>BUSINESS CREDIT FOR A SUCESSFUL BUSINESS:</p>
<p>Most of the businessmen invest their own money and time to see their business blossom and their dreams coming true. However, they also require outside financial start up support in order to become successful in their chosen field of endeavor. Before anyone risks using up and even losing their own financial credibility it&#8217;s much wiser to seek out business loans or credit and build your business financial credibility.</p>
<p>As soon as you start the business or later, as your business grows and expands, you&rsquo;ll need to apply for new loans and other business financing options. The chances of getting a business credit depends upon your business credit history. The more impressive your business credit history is, the better your chances are of getting the best of what lenders has to offer. In addition, having a corporate credit instead of a personal credit protects your personal credit history from risks. Ie. you fail to meet your deadline of payment on your business credit card, only your business credit will be affected and your personal credit history won&rsquo;t have to suffer. This doesn&rsquo;t mean that you can avoid the repayment of the credit though.</p>
<p>The most important aspect in getting a business credit is to determine what your real business credit needs may be. If you do not plan to get enough money, then you may find yourself having to return to the bank sooner than you planned. If you request too much then you will end up paying for business credit with monies that could be better spent invested in your enterprise. Make a budget with revenue and expense projections so that you can speak to the bank in confidence about your needs.</p>
<p>So if make a solid plan of getting a business credit, the firms offering the business credits will be more happy to meet your business credit needs.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Easy Work At Home Business Ideas</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Starting a business is not meant to be easy. However, if you pick the right idea, there is work from home business ideas that can be started on a limited budget, and be up-and-running in no time. The trick is to find a business that requires a low initial investment, few staff, and no office. While there are likely hundreds of ideas that fit the bill, this article attempts to get your creative juices flowing through introducing a few ideas that are easy to start.</strong></p>
<p>Franchisee</p>
<p>Work from home business<br />franchisees can be a great way to get a business off the ground in no time. These include recruitment, advertising sales, travel, and retail. When you buy a franchise you will be able to capitalise on the infrastructure that the franchiser has already developed. While in many ways a franchise can be ideal for the work at home type, one disadvantage is that you will have to pay an initial franchise fee to the franchiser. If you have a very limited budget this may not be achievable. However, if you speak with the franchiser, they may be able to help you arrange financing. A franchisee business is statistically more likely to be a success than a business started from scratch.</p>
<p>Business Services</p>
<p>A business services company can be among the easiest things to start &ndash; especially if you already know how to provide the service. If you are an accountant, you could start an accountancy firm. If you are a web designer, you could start a web design firm. If you have strong management skills, you could start a management consultancy. The list is endless&#8230;</p>
<p>When you opt for this approach, your only major on-going expense is likely to be your wages. You will be able to get a website designed, get a business telephone number, and you&rsquo;ll be on your way to getting started. In the future your business will be well positioned to grow. You will be able to hire other professionals, and you can take a backseat as they serve your clients.</p>
<p>Online</p>
<p>There is probably more <a href="http://www.citylocal.co.uk/frontend/franchiseinfo.php?cityid=79" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">work at home</a> business ideas available in the online sector than almost anywhere else. One of the most common categories for those getting started is retail. You will be able to use the internet to source a product overseas, and then get your own website designed where you can sell your products. You can even use websites like Ebay or Amazon to sell your stuff.</p>
<p>You could also start an online company selling advertising. Ideas include a directory, and a job board. You could start a membership website providing dating services, or business tips. It&rsquo;s even possible to earn money online without having to sell anything at all! Thanks to advertising networks &ndash; like Google AdSense and Commission Junction &ndash; you can earn money from simply getting visitors to come to your website, and then get larger companies to sell your advertising inventory on your behalf. They will just take a percentage of the revenue.</p>
<p>CityLocal has a <a href="http://www.citylocal.co.uk/frontend/franchiseinfo.php?cityid=79" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">franchise opportunity</a> for work at home entrepreneurs.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Water powered Cars have low cost parts</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Globalization has helped improve the standards of living but at the same time it has also brought with it a tremendous thirst for energy, and oil has emerged as the most dominant source of energy. Would you like to know why? Rapidly improving living standards, people want access to all the basic amenities in the world for themselves and their families such as water to drink, electricity for lights, good roads for transportation and oil is no exception. But one thing that we constantly forget is the fact that oil resources are non-renewable in nature and hence once they are used, they cannot be replenished. As our energy requirements keep on increasing on a daily basis, the oil resources are also depleting in a similar manner. So the impetus should be on developing the alternative sources of energy that are not only clean and renewable but at the same time are also environment-friendly.</strong></p>
<p>Because of the rapid increase in global warming, it has become extremely necessary to develop and encourage the renewable and environment-friendly technologies. To this effect we have heard about harnessing the tidal energy, the solar energy and not to forget, the abundant wind energy. To this effect, there has been a New breakthrough in the development of clean energy and the subject of concern is the usage of water for developing hydrogen-powered technologies for the automobiles. One might wonder as to how water powered cars would run. Well, the fact is 75% of the earthÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™Ãƒâ€ Ã¢â‚¬â„¢ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¢?&trade;s surface is water and a majority of that volume is sea water. And we all know the abundance of sea water, the new technology that has been developed harnesses the power of water.</p>
<p>This book &#8220;Water N2 Gas&#8221; puts forth the concept of water powered cars and explains the process to run your car on water in a very simple basic step by step manner which would not only help you get to the basics of the hho gas and water technology but will also enable you to be aware of the reliable energy alternative that can be used day-in day-out in our regular lives. It also features low cost parts and pictures for the readers to understand in detail the whole process in their minds. ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™Ãƒâ€ Ã¢â‚¬â„¢ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¢?ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â¦ÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬Ãƒâ€¦Ã¢â‚¬Å“A simple processÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™Ãƒâ€ Ã¢â‚¬â„¢ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¢? as mentioned in the book goes, Firstly, we should understand the chemical compound &#8211; water (H2O). Water consists of 2 hydrogen atoms as well as 1 oxygen atom. Some close compounds that are highly flammable are hydrogen (H2), Oxyhydrogen (HHO) et cetera. Upon research, it has been found that converting water into hydrogen as well as oxyhydrogen is actually very common in industries. However, this method is rarely being used in car. The process of converting water into hydrogen and oxygen is achieved by using the electricity in the car battery to make the water to undergo electrolysis and convert water into hydrogen or oxyhydrogen gas, which can be used as alternative fuel for cars. Then, some modifications are made on the car engine to divert to flammable gas and mix the gas with fuel or gasoline. Therefore, the flammable gas actually provides additional energy and act as an additional alternative fuel for cars. Indirectly, they are actually making hybrid cars that run on water. This process is very easy and can be done at a minimal cost of about $150.ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™Ãƒâ€ Ã¢â‚¬â„¢ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¢? So in essence, we get to know about the development of water cars. Now considering the skyrocketing gasoline prices and the consequent environmental implications, $150 is a piece of cake.<br />Not only will this book help us in reducing our daily running costs of our gas guzzling automobiles by half but it will also arm us with enough goodies to pay back Mother Nature because if not now, then when? If not us, then who?</p>
<p>The book <a href="http://www.southernhybrid.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Water N2 Gas</a> carries forward the concept of <a href="http://www.southernhybrid.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">water powered cars</a> and explains the process to run your car on water.</p>

<p>You need to provide good service and value for money everyday. If you have a bad day because you did not sleep well the night before, what happens?</p>
<p>You might not be as polite as you usually would and the customer feels that you are not giving them the best service. They never come back a second time. So you lose the customer forever.</p>
<p>What can you do to save yourself and really make money to bring home to pay your bills and enjoy life? Well, there is a simple way which a lot of people have discovered. It is to make money online &ndash; through internet marketing. It is easy and requires you to follow a few simple steps and then with very little cash you can make money online fast.</p>
<p>You can now reach out to all the customers in the country and sell them all kinds of products. You can do any business just by promoting the products on your website.</p>
<p>If you still want to sell flowers, you can attach a link of your own favorite online florist on your website to promote their flowers. When people buy flowers through you, you make a commission and you get people to buy the flowers which you think looks the best.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Make money online &ndash; Easy Internet Marketing Videos To Follow</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Have you wondered what causes people to buy stuff? What goes on in their mind before they make a decision to take out their money to buy? It is important to understand the answer if you are going to make money online.</strong></p>
<p>So how do you buy stuff?</p>
<p>Does the sales person have to show you what the product is and demonstrate to you the uses? It would be logical that he shows you the benefit of the product so that he can convince you to buy.</p>
<p>Does the sales person do it with a smile and constantly talk to you, getting to know you as a friend? Yes. Before you sell the product, sell yourself to make sure that there is rapport and a good relationship.</p>
<p>Does the sales person give you a discount or an offer which you cannot miss? Yes, they will give you a short time offer on a special price wit huge discount so you feel that if you do not pay now, you will be losing a great opportunity.</p>
<p>It takes skills to really learn the art of selling. Internet marketing is likely to be more difficult because you cannot see the customer. They do not hear your voice. They would not be able to see you demonstrate the product and how good it works. If you do not capture their attention in the first 10 seconds, they will go to another website and you lost them forever. So how then did people make money online when it is so difficult?</p>
<p>The secret is in building a list. This means getting people to sign up for your newsletter and they will receive email notifications from you constantly.</p>
<p>Building a list of contact will solve all the problems in internet marketing. Also, it will give you all the benefits of the internet. You set it up once and it will work on its own like magic and you never have to do it again.</p>
<p>The best part is you will build a good relationship with your customers on your list that they want to buy from you. They feel that you have given them your time and they feel appreciated.</p>
<p>When people are appreciated, they are open to ideas and they will buy products from you if you can make a good offer. There is why building a list is one of the best ways to help you build good relationship your customers.</p>
<p>If you want to learn how to <a href="http://www.intmartips.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">make money online</a>, we have compiled a free video for you to follow the easy steps. <a href="http://www.intmartips.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Secrets of Online Business</a>, and we will give you 2 more videos to help you to start your internet business to make money online at once.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Should You Outsource That Next Project?</font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Taking liberty with Shakespeare&#8217;s famous quote: &#8216;to outsource or not to outsource &#8211; that is the question&#8217;. The answer depends on a variety of factors such as core skills, project length, specialization, costs and staffing flexibility. By evaluating your circumstances and determining project factors, you can answer the famous question &#8211; at least in business terms.</strong></p>
<p>Just a quick definition for those who ask what is the difference between outsourcing and subcontracting? Typically, outsourcing is done offsite at the outsourcer&#8217;s facility under their management control while subcontracting is done on your site under your management control. Some of the same concerns and considerations apply when determining which direction to go. Outsourcing tends to be a longer term decision with the largest loss of control.</p>
<p>To help in your evaluation, start by reviewing the following questions. Your answers will help to determine which direction best suits the circumstances.</p>
<p>1. Is this activity/project a core process (what your company does as a business)?</p>
<p>2. Are specialized skills needed?</p>
<p>3. What is the duration?</p>
<p>4. Will confidential/proprietary information be disclosed?</p>
<p>5. Will the project result in new skills necessary for the ongoing business?</p>
<p>6. Could the project terminate early due to budgets/ other priorities?</p>
<p>7. Do I have the staff now or would I need to hire them?</p>
<p>8. Do I want close management of day-to-day activities?</p>
<p>There are some general guidelines relating to the decision to outsource or keep the activity &#8216;in-house&#8217;. Review these guidelines against the answers to the above questions to help with your decision.</p>
<p>Guideline 1: If the activity is a core process to your business, do not outsource. Consider the business of building cars. The assembly-line is core and you would not want to outsource this process, while computer training is not core and you would be able to outsource this without impacting your business integrity.</p>
<p>Guideline 2: If the project requires unique expertise for a limited length of time, do outsource. An example might be if you want to write an employee handbook ensuring all your policies are represented clearly and in legally correct terms. You would be better to outsource this to an experienced HR consulting firm. On the other-hand, if you just installed a new database technology requiring specialized technicians, you would be better to hire the skilled individuals since you will need them for an extended/ multi-year period to work on undetermined/multiple projects.</p>
<p>Guideline 3: If highly sensitive and confidential information will be revealed during the execution of the project, do not outsource. Example: if the project requires access to customer lists and future orders, do not outsource. Whereas revealing office locations or other public information would not compromise your business and could be outsourced.</p>
<p>Guideline 4: If you need the staff once the project is complete, do not outsource. This covers situations such as additional projects to work on or newly learned skills that are needed. However, projects that end with no ongoing need of the staff would require you to terminate employees, creating Human Resource issues, possible severance costs and legal issues. These short-term staff needs would best be outsourced since you can give termination notice (based on contractual agreements) and not have to deal with the outsourcer&#8217;s personnel.</p>
<p>Guideline 5: If the activity will last several years, do not outsource. The primary reason is price. Outsourcing typically costs more than if the work was done in-house since you are paying some &#8216;fixed costs and profit&#8217; dollars as part of the cost to do the work. There will always be a need for accounting personnel and although this is not a core skill, the need is ongoing and should be kept in-house, as an example.</p>
<p>Guideline 6: If you require strict management control, do not outsource. Although you could have general oversight of the project deliverables, the day-to-day management is done by the outsourcer. This would impact project approach, employee moral, customer interaction (if any) and feedback. An example of recent outsourcing which may not have been a good idea is customer support for computer equipment sales by Dell. Dell could not control the interaction with their customers and there were numerous complaints about communication skills, product knowledge and general attitude of the outsourced technician. Many companies that outsourced support have taken back control.</p>
<p>As with most things in life, the decision is not always cut and dry. The project might be core or require revealing confidential information, but you do not have the management or staff available. Is the project critical enough to override these factors? If yes, outsourcing may be the correct solution. By weighing those factors most important to you, the answer &#8216;outsource or in-house&#8217; may be just a little clearer.</p>

<p><strong>Sales prospecting in down economies is no different than sales prospecting in up economies. It is still a behaviour, a discipline &#8211; doing what we have to do, even when we do not want to do it.</strong></p>
<p>The only difference is that you may have to invest more time in sales prospecting in a down economy.</p>
<p>Sales prospecting can be time consuming in itself, but in a down economy, it is even more time consuming as sales prospects seem to be harder to find.</p>
<p>Therefore, more time invested in sales prospecting is required. If you did ten daily sales prospecting calls before, you may now have to do twenty to get the same results.</p>
<p>However, besides investing time, there is a better way to get the same or better results when it comes to sales prospecting. But first, you have to do your homework.</p>
<p>You need to know what our sales prospects should look like &#8211; you need to profile them so that you can take a targeted sales prospecting approach and not a shot gun approach.</p>
<p>It is the shot gun approach that is time consuming and does not get you the sales prospecting results you are looking for.</p>
<p>In a targeted sales strategy you need to define the criteria for three customer levels &#8211; A, B, and C.</p>
<p>The 80/20 rule states that 80% of your sales results come from 20% of your customers.</p>
<p>That 20% would be considered as your best customers. They are &#8220;A&#8221; or absolute customers, because they provide you with 80% of your revenues and without them, you would be out of business.</p>
<p>Answer this question: What criteria best describes you&#8217;re A customers? Is it profitability, loyalty, margin, volume, brand, relationship, etc.? Note your answers.</p>
<p>Then you need to proceed with the same question for the next level of sales prospecting &#8211; &#8220;B&#8221; beneficial customers. So, what is the sales criteria for your &#8220;B&#8221; level of customers ? How are they distinguished from A customers? Note your answers.</p>
<p>You can then proceed with what is the sales criteria for your next level of customers &#8211; &#8220;C&#8221; &#8211; convenient customers? How are they distinguished from B customers? Note your answers.</p>
<p>You may find that most of your prospecting activities are probably to &#8220;C&#8221; or convenient customers, as most sales people invest 80% of their sales prospecting time where they get 20% of the revenues.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s do the opposite and focus our sales prospecting activities on the A customers.</p>
<p>Once your sales criteria is defined for each level of customer, go to your sales data base and using the sales criteria identify your existing customers as A, B or C.</p>
<p>Separate the A customers and create their profile based on the information on hand. You will find that there is something different about them, compared to the B&#8217;s and C&#8217;s.</p>
<p>What is that difference? Now map that profile over to the market place for sales prospecting. Who are the A sales prospects out there that are not presently doing business with you?</p>
<p>Do the same with the B customers and identified the sales prospects for you B category in the marketplace. Also, look at your existing B customers who have potential to be come A&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Sales prospecting can be fun and most rewarding for sales results when you invest the time and plan your sales prospecting approach.</p>
