    Independent Contractor Staffing Guide
    There are many pros and cons that must be considered by those thinking of hiring independent contractors, and if those are not factored into the hiring decision, there may well be legal consequences. Of course, it is always wise to go over your plans with your attorney, so this article is not to be construed as legal advice but rather some business alerts that need to be considered before making a decision.Of course, the first thing to do is to consider the job that is to be done, the duratio

    ROI: False Conclusions
    Drawing false conclusions from Return on Investment analysis can be embarrassing and it can be costly.Here’s an example from business in managing risk and calculating Return on Investment ROI:The management of company A wanted to decrease the cost of manufacturing a key product. This was in light of new technologies that had just become available.They have 60% of the available business with this product and their closest competitor, Company B, has 14% of the market.Company
    My wife and I recently had our second baby, and like all expectant parents we had to go through the often difficult process of picking a name. Choosing a name is one of the first big decisions you make for your child and it can have a large impact on their future. Anyone familiar with the 1980s movie The Sure Thing remembers the diatribe of John Cusack’s character in which he expresses his disgust for the name “Elliot” who will grow up to be “a fat kid with glasses who eats paste.” He then goes on to explain that “You gotta give him a real name. Give him a name! Like Nick….Nick’s a real name! Nick’s your buddy. Nick’s the kinda guy you can trust.”

    Choosing a name for your company or product is as important as naming your child, so don’t take it lightly. First and foremost the name has to be unique. Growing up in classrooms filled with Davids, Johns and Jennifers, the one thing that set me apart was my last name. Speaking of my last name, that brings me to the next point. You have to be able to say it and spell it. I know first hand how having a name like Lubelczyk, which is both difficult to say and spell, can be a real pain. In this world of URLs, search engines, and online directories, being able to spell your company’s name is crucial unless you want to spend a lot of money registering all the misspellings of the name. Before you pick a name, make sure you can get the .COM because chances are if you can only register the .NET, the .BIZ or you have to put in a lot of dashes or an “e” in front of it, no one will ever find you...but they will find your competitor.

    Procurement Contracts
    Procurement refers to the acquisition of goods or commodities by an individual, organization, company, or institution. Most companies have a procurement process in place on a contractual basis. The majority of these contracts specify the lease and time for which these companies will work for a particular client. They are a great assistance to associations that cannot set up their own e-procurement services without delay.A procurement contract is suitable when the primary intention of the trans

    Buying Business Phones
    Business phone systems can be purchased from telephone service providers, other manufacturers through their sales networks or through Internet. Most businesses usually need to have several telephones to run their operations and it is neither practical nor necessary to have each telephone connected to the external (service provider's) network. Communication systems containing internally operated switching systems are available that do not require connecting each telephone set to the public telephone n

    Free Advertising Resources; Let Your Imagination Loose!
    How many people have worked from nine to five for 40 to 50 years and have nothing to show for it? How much is your time really worth? Most of us do not have the money to invest in advertising on the Internet. But, do you have the time? How about one to three years? Many people are drawing 6-figure incomes from the Internet within only a few years. More millionaires have been created on the Internet then in any other way in history. But, you will have to invest your time!There are many proven,

    How Much Does Six Sigma Cost?
    Most companies contemplating Six Sigma implementation have most of the costs worked out beforehand. This follows the assumption that taking additional work means involving more people. You either hire people on fee base or recruit them on your payroll at a cost. Well, then there is the cost of implementation above this, which can run into quite a few thousands of dollars depending upon the project on hand.But is that the cost of Six Sigma? There are several schools of thoughts and arguments ab

    A name also has to fit the personality of the company now and the personality you want it to grow up to be. Unlike Little Rickey who can become Richard the CEO or Rick the Fireman, you are stuck with that name for a long time. So choose wisely. If you have to change it later, the costs both financially and in lost recognition will be massive. The longer you have a name, the harder it will be to change. Just ask KFC who has recently gone back to Kentucky Fried Chicken because despite massive amounts of advertising telling us that KFC was their name and it stood for “Kitchen Fresh Chicken”, no one really forgot that this company southern-fried their chicken.

    Another thing to remember when picking a name is to avoid trendy names, names based on a fad, names that include current technology, or names that expire. Let’s face it, does anyone get the latest electronic equipment at the Hi-Fi Shack or Computers 2000? I don’t know many people who still want to go to the Cineplex, the Roller Disco, or the Bowladrome. These all may have been great names “in the day”, but now they seem dated and irrelevant. So unless your company offers a retro theme or wants to forever stay in a time warp, avoid these names at all cost.

    A popular naming trend is the use of only initials. This comes from the success of companies like GE, IBM and AT&T. But unless you’re a “Blue Chip” company, this is
