Focus On Repeat Business - For More Profit And An Easier Life
How much time, money and effort does it take to win a new customer? For most businesses, if they can quantify what it costs to acquire a new client, it's considerable.You have to advertise, make contact, try and set an appointment, visit, fact-find, draw up a proposal, make a presentation then try to close. Phew, tiring just thinking about all of that! And of course you don't win every job you pitch on, many times all that effort produces no direct payback.Now consider how much easier it is dealing with an existing customer. You can get through the 'secretary barrier' and speak to your client without difficulty. If they were happy with the work you have done so far, they'll be receptive to your next proposal. When you have discussions, they will be more frank because they trust you. You are in a good situation to suggest add-ons and price is less of an issue than it was initally because they are confident that your work is good.Contrast that with how hard it is getting through to a new prospect and you can see that life is much simpler if you have a stable of happy, repeat customers.How do we get to this pleasant situation? The key is to never disappoint your customer - no nasty surprises. If you promise something, do it. Excuses are poison. If a situation arises when you can't deliver, tell the customer up-front, so he can adjust his plans. And stay in touch, no one likes to be neglected.Satisfied customers become extremely loyal; when a competitor tries to take your business, your customer will say, 'We already have a good supplier'. And they will spread the word about you too.

Business Plans - The Rules of Business Plans (Funding Plans)
In our efforts to find out why 99% of business plans are typically rejected, numerous venture capitalists, investors, bankers, and investment bankers have let us in on the things they look for. When the following rules are broken, it becomes a simple thing for the professionals to spot, thus helping them save time by quickly weeding out the business plans they will dump.Follow these rules and give your business plans a better chance of being seriously looked at.Rule 1: The business plan is the most important document in a business.The business plan, whether on paper or in your head, guides the company. It provides the basic framework of communicating the goals of the organization. Few documents are as important to the future of theenterprise. Unfortunately, few documents are also as ignored and ill prepared.Rule 2: The value of a business plan is directly proportional to its use.The more a business plan is used throughout the organization, the more chance the business has of meeting its goals and succeeding. Everyone in the organization should have access to it to help them make decisions that are consistent with the direction the company wants to go.Corollary 2A: The only ones who will use the business plan are those who believe it.Corollary 2B: The first one to believe the business plan is the one who writes it.Rule 3: A business plan is first and foremost a guidance document.The purpose of the business plan is generally misunderstood. Entrepreneurs think it is a document that is written once in order to attract an investor. Once the business is funded, they think the business plan is no longer needed.he kind of strategies in touch with your speculator mind response!

Witness the Enron fiasco. It is a classic case of corporate character gone sour. The accounting firm that assigned to do the books also got paid to advise. Even the board members failed in their fiduciary responsibilities to guard and plead the cause of the stock holders. Result: The crowd got lied to and cheated!

That’s what causes many to follow technical analysis whereby the fundamentals are considered reflected in the market action, and leads the investors to never have to trust anything beyond the tape itself. So, what if you developed a dynamite system that would track such reflections? Would that be sufficient?

I personally do not believe it would for one, very simple reason: There is no mastery of indeterminate arenas like markets; and they most certainly qualify as being indeterminate. At best, in my opinion, you may merely flow with them.

There is, however, a form of mastery that you can learn. It is the mastery of the self, whereby you can become a student of your own attitudes and behavior as much as a student of market behavior. Relative to conditions with potential uncertain outcomes as in the markets, this is probably the most underestimated of all trading methods.

With all due respect to your intelligence and financial background, that is a lot more difficult to achieve than you might now imagine. First, simply arousing your market senses is not a simple task. Pre-existing mindsets, supported by memories and emotions, often hinder the process. It truly takes an awakening that a new method of thinking far beyond what your formal education has groomed you to think thus far may be necessary.

Second, that awakening further requires an act of acceptance that is sufficient to instill the discipline to change. The initiating belief for all of this, in my judgment, is accepting the stark reality of cause and effect; that speculative markets are not the true cause of you making or losing money. You are! And many market psychologists teach their clients that.

After all, the markets exist merely as trading arenas with fixed rules of engagement, and neutral ones at that. They may appear at times to operate like living, breathing organisms, but they have no bias and no intimidating authority to issue you orders to personally lose or gain money.

Markets cannot even force you to trade in any particular way any more than they can coerce you to interpret their conditions. Only you can do that through your own mental framework; and therein lays the enigma that haunts traders as they attempt to garner their share of the market’s riches.

Discrediting your mental framework with its emotional ties perhaps explains why outperforming any market on a consistent basis is such a difficult task, even for professional fund managers. It requires that profit-making senses become honed and kept razor sharp at all times; and that definitely requires full mental attention in league with self discipline.

After all, the nature of speculation centers on a collection of random events, and is by definition an uncertain environment at every moment. The very act of dealing with markets, especially on your own, exposes you to personal challenges not found in any other endeavor.

My own research and personal market experiences confirm this. So, I have defined at least four dominant drivers just to achieve some semblance of parity:

1. Personal conditioning that provides mental clarity and emotional stamina;
2. A
