Operations Business Management

gauges CRM mainly to a systematic approach to creating relationships with customers in order to provide and obtain satisfaction, loyalty, and higher revenues related. However, there is some speculation that describe these measures as an attempt to cover up the sale of surplus products, which customers do not really need. So, in order to be successful in it, should companies to take certain measures in order to be successful in its implementation.

Among the methods of measuring its success includes four types of metrics: input metrics, and standards process, production standards, and standards result. Input measurement accuracy, quality and the degree to which the data is known for certain standards. It refers to the process of performance depending on the behavior and activity gauges. Production standards refer to orders and samples and proposals, and related customers are calculated as part of the business, while outcome measures indicate financial matters. By tracking and maintaining these measures, and assured the management that their employees are doing their part to ensure customer satisfaction.

shows an example of a procedure towards business success by users of a certain computer company. Creating a computer company and the collection of poll surveys online tool used in the publication of surveys, where the analysis of the results, according to the company's management. Through the survey, the company can understand the issues related to the dealers and users, as well as behavioral problems with specific representatives.

to further discuss the measures necessary for its success, the first metrics strategy would be input standards. Among the four measures, touted as the most progressive or futuristic because it uses quantitative and qualitative standards when applied. Some of the activities included in the input messages are sent by, attendance at seminars and brochures sent, and customer profiles that were created standards. When these activities take place, that the company expects to generate new business from existing customers. Often, they are not corporate managers to measure the inputs that were born, but rather on their quality. The importance of input metrics understands the right behavior needed by focusing on obtaining profitable customers and important.

Another measure is the standard process where the focus is on increasing sales and customer loyalty, as well as customer satisfaction better. The proper way to keep this measure is to protect workers in sales. For example, between an excellent salesperson and an average salesperson, it is best to monitor and compare the differences instead of focusing on only one party. The results of these differences are the factors that go into the process standards.

simple definition of production is the result of doing something that can be counted. In business, it referred to as the output to a result that has value to customers and the organization. It consists mainly of output standards won proposals, referrals, and customer problems solved. Certainly, this output can be measured such as proposals on sales. It is important, among the four, because it describes the status of the company and its products with respect to their impact on customers.

Finally, outcome measures, on the other hand, are those products and achievements that are difficult to quantify and measure, and are considered more important than production. For example, the existence of a long-term profitable relationships with customers is an important result, instead of relying solely on messages or surveys for marketing campaigns. If the company was able to maintain profitable customers, it can ensure stability and generate new business, and increase revenue.

following the clients standards, companies or corporate relations management standards will be able to produce high quality products, service and faster, reliable and personnel necessary to achieve and ensure customer satisfaction.

said to the beginning and end of each companies by countless business coaches and experts that "you do not have work until you make your first sale." - Sales I personally would like to add to this statement, saying: "We will not keep your business open, if you can not keep selling." Every day thousands of small business owners across the country have failed because they have resigned sale (or because they have not learned how to in the first place). In fact, according to the US Small Business Administration 0.9 fail out of 10 small businesses within the first one year. They failed for a variety of reasons. Some of these companies not to blame the economy. Some of these companies not to blame the marketing conditions. Some of these companies blame poor marketing campaign, or the supply chain system is weak, but at the end of the day (having worked with many companies as a trainer Personal business) seems to be that companies that are struggling and struggling all because they can not sell anything.

are sure to have a great product. Make sure you have a great idea. Oh yes, they might even have a brilliant team of some of the most brilliant marketing people there. Public Relations by a team is usually a solid and office usually looks professional. When you walk on their property may even be greeted secretary that will serve you a cup of freshly brewed coffee as you wait in their pristine lobby / waiting. Their properties look good. I have some good space rental. But do they sell anything? Usually, unfortunately, the answer is no.

Most of these companies that saw the collapse because of lack of sales usually have a lot of college graduates all over. They have a marketing degree, they have a degree of public relations, they have a degree of Business Administration, so they have people on staff who have an MBA and doctorate in various aspects of business systems and management. However, the world of academia and business long-winded articles and theories does not mean a lot of business that are struggling to make sales. So what is an employer to do when surrounded by a team of people that can not be sold? I would recommend either hiring an ongoing sales coach or at least make a daily or weekly sales training deeply entrenched part of the culture of your company.

weekly or bi-weekly team looking for salary and that a week or once every two weeks, your sales team needs to sharpen its sales calls with the role played by the method of training and powerful sales training and one-on-one. My friend think about this for one second. The division of labor mainly to the following four categories and then on the subject.

sales - if your company can not be sold, then you will not be in business very long.

leadership - if you can not build a team of people motivated by focusing on major investigation clearly AIM then your business model is not sustainable.

accounting - if you do not know how much you make and whether you make money or not, it will be very difficult for you to stay in business is growing much lower. It is difficult to improve what is not quantifiable.

investment - if you spend half of your profits to pay the government, "stupid tax" because you have no idea how to invest in commercial or residential real estate then it will be very difficult to ever get out of the rat race.

even if the work is very simple, and it all starts with the sales ... Why is not there more formal training available for those who want to improve their selling skills? For those of you reading this that have already left the campus, and entered into the world of unforgiving entrepreneurship and capitalism, you've probably found yourself wishing that you know more about sales and negotiation art of persuasion. And to help bridge the gap between academia and the real world of entrepreneurship, here is the "Entrepreneur of the Year" for training in sales abbreviated 101. read and apply the information below and can change your career sales forever.

Step 1 (in any offer for sale) - build a sales scenario for you, and the entire team. If you are the boss, it is absolutely essential that you take the time to display the text of a phone call / face-to-face that works. For example, in the world of commercial real estate, and I have found that if the majority of the time, and I'm going to be talking with the Minister of investor wealthy seniors on the phone almost every time before I get to speak with the construction of prospective or current owner. Almost every time, I am going to be talking with the Minister before I reach the prospect. Think about it. Almost every time is the same. In your business, and certain aspects of each call sales are almost the same every time. People like you and me to be crazy enough to start and own businesses or have your sales presentation, and simply making it up as we go. We are improving our call almost every time. With all the rejection we refine our presentation. Even when I was in the end do not know how to get through the "guard dog" (Minister), would not it make sense to take the time to write the system and the way it works. Do you really want your sales commission people to spend two months learning how to get a rejection, when you know what works? No. making scenario. A sales scenario is nothing more than a recipe for sales success. It takes a little bit of this and a little of that and I want to say this here and say that there and then asked this question here and then boom, you have a deal. Take the time to make a script. Take the guess work out of your sales team offers.

Step 2 - Make sure that your sales presentation includes the following four variables in this system (regardless of your business) field.

harmony - make sure that the sales presentation has questions to build a relationship that works and that stimulate good conversation.

· favorite subject everyone is themselves, so keep that in mind when building your scenario.
· Conversation practice generosity. Your prospect must spend the majority of time talking. 70% of the time your prospect should be talking and 30% of the time, you should be listening to you. Make sure that you have enough questions to build a relationship line for you to be successful in achieving the ratio of 70/30.

needs - make sure that the sales presentation needs accurately pin point your prospect. If you do not know what your prospect wants, then how can you possibly think in precisely what they want. Unless you want to become an expert mental telepathy before closing the first deal, you had better ask some hard questions to determine their needs before you start giving them the benefits of your product.

make sure that you have at least 10 "need to find the questions" in your scenario. Your sales people should never run out of good questions to ask.

Make sure that your scenario is not supported by the belief that selling is telling. Selling is not the words, it is listening. Listen to the needs of your prospect, and then sell them a solution to their problems.

Make sure that you have a "need to find the questions" revealed dissatisfaction that the likelihood of him with their current product, service or way of life. Should your product and then offers a solution to this problem.

benefits - make sure that the benefits of text sales of your sales, not features. No one cares what was the use of a type of technology this or that to make. No one cares about the number of your product model. No one cares unique one hand and put what, not who went to make your product so you know what product or service can do for them.

make sure that the script provides your sales team with at least five solid benefits that explain clearly to the possibility of why this product will provide a solution to their products.

make sure that your own benefits are based on facts and not on the basis of flattery. No one wants to hear that your product is "best," or that you "number one." They want to know what the product can do for them. They want to know how the service will enhance their lives and makes them feel better.

make sure that your benefits and focus on making a connection "win" with every customer. You must explain your benefits your prospects how this product can clearly will benefit them and you, or they will become very skeptical too quickly.

to induce labor / Close - Make sure that your script includes a call to action. If you meet with someone and you do not come home with a "sale" then you've accomplished something. The number of sales professionals we would not believe there is a final presentation an hour and a half with, "and even if you are only just getting back with me want to, then I would love to work with you." This statement is false. No one wants to meet with you for an hour and a half for anything. If you're going to spend an hour and a half of the time needed to interview someone had closed the deal as well. You might ask, as well as for their business. If you do not ask, certainly you will never be told you yes. If you live in fear of rejection, and then life will reject you by default. Go ahead and go for Otheiq every time.

make sure that almost private, backed by the belief that one should eat a small piece of one cow at a time.

Make sure your script asks the customer first, "Does this make sense?"

Make sure your script then ask the prospect, "which package do you think would be best for you and all based on what we talked about? Either this or that?"

make sure that your script and then asks, "Are we all want to pay for it by check or credit card?"

my friend and needs to be university degrees there in every college on "Salesology." However, there is not and probably will never be there. If you would like more information about sales, then I would highly recommend that you read-Napoleon Hill "Success Skills" or various audio books and training courses of Brian Tracy. Read those books, and the application of the "moves" find in these books and make it happen. I was born to succeed. I was born to go to the top, but you must learn to sell and convince people before you can do anything.

risk management will always be a necessity if you are running the business. While there may also be a risk that can be avoided, such as employee injured by malfunctioning equipment or machinery, there are risks that can not be stopped, such as natural disasters. However, even if you can not stop the risk from entering your business, you can still reduce their effects but this can only be done if you are able to detect them before they get out of control. This is why it is necessary for the performance of risk management, which has a few ways that can help in addressing business risks. One of the operations here is the risk assessment where you can get on the importance of the risks that your business is likely to face. This is where you can use a matrix of risk assessment.

matrix of risk assessment is where you are able to determine the severity of the danger or hazard that may occur within the organization. In order for you to get the answer, you need to calculate the sum of the risks that may contribute to the occurrence of danger. PH * CH formula where H stands for danger, P is the probability and C for that. In short, the answer to the formula will give you information about how the risk is likely to happen and how bad the effects may be when they do. The rating results in cases of fur that is a disaster that relate to cases of multiple deaths, a crucial one death and the meaning or with several serious injuries, severe injury with a marginal one, or can be with multiple minor injuries and remember with a minor injury and one. In the meantime, the prospect was identified as a certain, probably, and the potential, it is unlikely or rare. However, when you get the low probabilities in a matrix of risk assessment, this may not be very reliable.

If you find a matrix too complicated or confusing risk assessment, you can check out a sample of the matrix of risk assessment online. The simple design of this table, which is one of the various projects that have risks and benefits and expenses when implemented. Assessment with the risk matrix is ​​very useful because you are able to identify the projects or activities that may have potential benefits for your organization, but may pose difficulties in the future.

in order to begin assessing the risk matrix, you will need to draw a table, or you can also use a chart that will determine the implementation problems and levels against the potential benefits. Then you will have to identify projects that are within the spaces that have been created by a matrix or table. The third step is to assess the results that were obtained. This is where you can learn about projects that are easy to implement which means that it is ideal for your business because they have less risk. Usually, those that belong to this level have an impact on a possible rise in the company. Still, professionals are looking for a conservative budget that projects with high and low risks. The details that are provided by the matrix of risk assessment of your business can be extended by adding other sections in the table, such as the risks in the implementation of projects, rather than just the potential risks.

and there is a lot about inventory management, but it is still not complete without a discussion on inventory management in real time.

inventory often emphasizes what a necessary evil, especially in retail. Who wants to risk the loss of customers resulting from product shortages? If they want it, you should have enough to sell. But the classic question was always about how much is enough.

to understand the implications of it, the very first and the realization that one must have is that inventory costs are not only the ones that you see in everyday life. It stretches far beyond the daily costs in the form of additional funds that you need to put in to maintain the operation of the business. Inventory is the eater cash humans number one.

What is the real-time inventory management?

real-time inventory management basically means inventory management as and when depleted. A large part of this strategy depends on technology, and that is why the initial cost scares some skeptics.

and the technology used is basically interact chips and barcodes. They maintain the path of each of the stock that comes in and out of the store. Benefits should be able to do so can be many. All you have to do is make sure that you get a few things in place. You will need to know the following:

How many units do I order?

How much time needs supplier to achieve this?

what point I'm going to order? Order

most retailers time-bound manner. They always seem to have enough of what is not in demand in the market.

It is important to understand the value of real-time and add information to the supply chain. You did not sign anything or reliance on any guesses.

Instead, you are reading the market mind and act according to it. At the same time regardless of the inventory costs and you cut a lot of storage and administrative costs also since you do not need a huge warehouse or stock clerk.

how it works

reduces fixed costs: Fixed costs are a burden on the shoulder of the seller. They drain profits. With the help of the inventory management system in real time, you can bring them down to a minimum. You could make your organization much smaller by virtually eliminating the purchasing department. They do not need to predict demand or place orders. Everything you need to have your suppliers ready. The system will do the rest. Also, because the mechanism to a great extent, the error chances are much lower. Instruments are not forgotten as they are human beings.

is not uncommon to be stuck with a product that customers no longer want. Demands for change faster than you can imagine. Now imagine selling multiple variables from multiple products, you are bound to leave some stuck with unsold inventory. With inventory management in real time, you can measure the pulse of the market by keeping the path of what is sold and when it needs to be ordered, thus reducing these costs to a minimum.

removes Outs Finance: Financial outs and a lack of are the results of errors in forecasting demand. While most of the previous discussion was on the reform of prediction methods, and bought inventory management in real time in a new perspective. It eliminates the need to predict, and thus eliminates all errors associated with it. If the request is running quickly, so you do not cycle command. This is called a flexible supply chain.

improves customer relations: A recent study has exposed that there are some "global customer expectations" that the client expects from each vendor to deal with it. This is the maximum choice, and the maximum value at the lowest price. With the help of inventory management in real time, you can easily advance all three.

simplifies work processes: real-time inventory management significantly reduces the error rate. Since automated a lot of work, there is less chance for error. Moreover run your own all operations on the facts and not on the anticipated expectations.

How to choose?

There are many options available in the market today. Each different business, and therefore by extension stripped of all their needs are also unique. Real time inventory management helps any business.

Partial: It is essential that the real time inventory solution in which you search for management units. Atypical basically means the ability to choose special features that you might want instead of taking the full package.

module and this is very important because the inventory management systems, these are the means to serve the interests of many organizations that have diversified business interests. You may not require half way towards a solution, but the other half may be invaluable for you. So typically it allows you to choose the solution that you think is best.

ease of implementation: inventory management systems, and easier to buy from implementation. A lot of these systems are complex and need to staff training, or in some cases you may have to hire new employees skilled enough to take care of this. So, the choice is, if the system will save you enough money to compensate for the increased costs of training and still be of value. Do not forget to consider the time value of money.

Integration: The ability to measure changes gives knowledge of what is working and what is not director, this is a power that must be harnessed to evaluate the efficiency of the inventory management system.

It is therefore necessary that the system integrates with accounting, human resources and other other systems, which are commonly used in the organization.

A very common mistake is to draw the inventory reports from the new system and continue financial and other reports in the previous method. This gives an accurate position of the effectiveness of the recruitment materials, staff, money and other resources.

In the end,

large companies and small businesses overall efficiency gap between the two players with the biggest being the best. It is imperative that small businesses grow and prosper by adapting to gain a competitive advantage over smaller competitors.

inventory management in real-time is still a relatively unknown commodity. So unleash the potential of this powerful tool, and gain a competitive advantage.

There is an unwritten rule in business that once it goes public company, it ousted the original founders. Myth: business is great for getting the company started, but not so great when Wall Street looking over their shoulders. Part of this thinking is that the founders of the companies and the Dallas Mavericks, the workers with a passionate vision, unconventional in its approach to management and explicitly - sexy kind of problems that make investors uneasy. (What is sexy mob anyway?)

passionate in their approach, seen by some as little more than preachers who work the gospel of their companies all what it's worth, but when faced with the real management challenges, revealing the methodologies to be weaker than a Spider's home.

to put it mildly, this is a gross generalization is very accurate and is.

For example, Steve Jobs was structured with the vision - the creation of the greatest computer is easy to use in the world, and took byte (pun intended) of market dominance IBM. Passionate and visionary, Jobs was in his corner Steve Wozniak to address Apple's structure. Before these men, working on the computer requires extensive knowledge of code just to do a simple task. Many major computer science seemed to reach those who could not understand the basics of computer. Then Apple came along and changed all that attitudes by inventing a computer easy to use requiring no code, no knowledge of programming, just plug and play. With its intuitive interface than visually, Apple re-worked to define a computer means. They changed the computer business forever by creating computers for the rest of us.

Thus, it was not a mystery why the Mac has become a favorite computer for graphic designers - with the emphasis was on the graphical user interface and ease of exit from the square operations, Apple can be used by anyone. Before Mac OS X, and it was all typesetting in advertising agencies and design firms to be sent to the home of the type can be set in neat rows that you see in magazines and newspapers. You never know what kind of look like until he returned. One calculation error can ruin a piece. Typefaces expense of science was spent only to designers with a penchant for mathematics. With applications such as Pagemaker and WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) communication and destroyed Apple companies independent typesetting overnight. Now it can be done at home all the typesetting of your desktop and can make changes on the spot. Apple was the company that David killed Goliath apples traders began to take on a cult-like obsession.

But everything was not so good at Apple. Jobs direction of the company seems at odds with CEO John Sculley. This was followed by a struggle for power and the board sided with Sculley - Jobs was forced out and had to press a field day. For outsiders it does not make sense. To seasoned business man, it was not soon enough. He considered the founder of the ideology that was what brought the company to the current stage of profitability and a bad reputation as a barrier to the next phase of success. Legend businessman, unable to take the company forward, prevailed.

in the beginning, and it took Apple's executive team on the road, where he was not before, and profits were proof that all was working. Time will tell, however, that the new CEO, several years of lack luster sales, the price of the stock is low enough to make even seasoned board of directors realize that they had made a mistake. Macintosh began to look like IBM's clone. Just another computer.

, for obvious reasons, and it asked functions again at 97 and began brand Apple to make a comeback. Returned entrepreneurship, Apple stopped making products that looked like gray boxes, and began to develop ergonomic designs back to the industrial design. Been incorporated lessons learned from the computer system next functions "in the lines PowerMac new, brought the iMac Apple brand to return to profitability. This was structured with the operational and strategic power implementation.

brought passion and functionality to Apple. has broken the myth of an entrepreneur. and let's not forget the investment Jobs at Pixar before it was acquired by Disney. How wonderful legend orderly lack of understanding of the real work.

on the contrary, executives and managers who grew up through the ranks of Wharton, Yale or Harvard learning the ropes of hard work and numbers crunching, eventually landing a key leadership position after a great deal of spice, are entirely correct. many business needs this pattern of the operating management with more than 50 million commercial enterprise in the United States, I would say most of them are working in the framework of this administrative structure.

just look at the number of law and accounting and engineering offices which must be serious systems have in the workplace . this is not just a happy accident, I tried it and is brought 101 business correctly and often executives to clean up a big mess was created by the founder who do not know any better.

one of my favorite case to re-organize the ideal is a Harley-Davidson. He led the AMF Harley name in the earth back in the 70s by firing employees and streamlining of production to the point that Harley-Davidson has become the laughing stock of the motorcycle industry. In a bid to push to achieve bigger and bigger profits, forgot the Arab Monetary Fund to provide a distinct product. It did not take long for Japanese imports of better quality to flood the American market.

In 1981, AMF sold Harley to a group of investors von Beals and Willie G. Davidson (yes, grandson of co-founder William A. Davidson) led compared to $ 80 million. In order to get back its market share and maintain the Japanese imports in the Gulf, Harley Davidson and he worked closely with the US International Trade Commission, and asked them to impose a tariff of 45% on bicycles imported more than 700cc's. This was a temporary measure designed specifically to protect Harley and raise the prices of Japanese imports. This is a helping hand, which kept the competition at bay.

for the next step to increase quality while keeping costs low. In Japan after World War II, it established George W. Edwards Deming productivity model using a simple way to request inventory only when needed. Before his methods, usually they kept large companies amounts of product in warehouses. It was expensive to store, heat and / or cool and costly insurance. If the stock prices declined, you're stuck with the goods exaggerated. It can be assemble at such a loss that the company may go bankrupt.

Deming, the father of manufacturing just in time for a good reason - one single-handedly helped Japan rebuild after World War II. JIT inventory focused on the order of only when needed, but more importantly, it gave the workers on the assembly plant floor control on product quality, and even the power to shut down the line if part or the final product does not meet their own standards. Quality over quantity.

executive management Harley deliberately returned to what made their company famous - and macho "retro" appeal of the machines, building motorcycles that deliberately adopted the look and feel of previous sessions with allocations based on customer demand. The outsourcing components such as brakes and front forks, shocks, carburetors, and cut the sources of electrical and wheels of corporate foreign manufacturers and quality increased, technical improvements were introduced, the buyers came back slowly.

with JIT methodologies and return to the quality and reputation of Harley-Davidson began to grow into excellent brand it is today. Even went so far as to get to the US International Trade Commission to lift the tariffs previously. Because people are still buying Japanese imported cycles at a premium, so to raise tariffs, the price remained the same, Harley and allowed to charge a premium higher.

Harley brands today include traditional bikes like Fatboy, female biker brands that focus like a Sportster, and a cafe racer inspired V- Rod with it a retro look. Solid management brought Harley Davidson back from the brink of oblivian.

, but what can we learn from all of management styles? First, let's define the two positions. The dictionary defines entrepreneur as "one who organizes business undertaking, assuming the risk for profit." This individual many times takes on all the roles within the company so that profits and / or investors allow for recruitment.

is the executive defined as "one who runs or manages things from the company's business." In other words, oversees the executive power structure and operations every day of the Council, the owners, or investors. Compensation can be in the form of perks, stock options or bonuses.

both cases it seems as if the entrepreneur himself or herself working and operating executive investors.

So what can entrepreneurs learn from CEOs and executives what you can learn from business?

business must understand that their business (es) must be done without them. Structure and systems must be implemented by the management and every member of the organization should know his / her role. When you invest money and bankers heads in a new start-up, is the first thing you're looking for - business structure. The nature of passionate founder may get them to the table, the real everyday business management but, the day looking for him. Look at Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald's. He created a narrow ways to create each product on the list. In a business where margins are very tight profit, Crook showed investors that the structure confirmed profits, whether there was or not.

executives, on the other hand, you should take a page from the owner of the project through to look beyond the numbers and go with their gut. When he made the Mazda Miata, all data marketing, said there is something a little sports car convertible. It was the last thing on the mind of American consumers. But Mazda did the unthinkable - they put the passion back into driving with a fun and affordable bike that brought back the days of British MG midgets and weekends in the country.

made the Miata makes them look like geniuses. It had expected some sort of direction of the market? The truth is that they have not done anything like this. Mazda took a chance that paid off big time. They put the excitement back into driving. interval. Consumers buy because there is an emotional reason to buy. Crunching numbers do not reveal emotion.

balance between the entrepreneur vs. executive methodologies is a simple form - is the right brain thinking versus left-brain thinking. To really take on the business world, it is necessary to integrate the two together. Look at the leaders you admire better. If you look closely, you'll see that it works and a sense of passion for what they do while balancing systems, as well as the integration of the structure that works during their absence.

Jack Welch is a prime example of someone who balances between the two sides of the businessman and executive. The CEO of a very explicit from GE for more than 40 years. Passionate and rigorous, celebrities became mini appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno numerous times. Keep a bread and butter parts of GE (large turbines, electric motors, consumers never see things) a strong, while achieving a balance between consumer products (televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, etc.) with the financial services divisions. Really play all the roles.

Now that he has retired, a spokesman also sought for obvious reasons - he knows how to manage the business from both sides.

Look at me Iacocca, former President Bill Clinton and John Johnson, Mary Kay Ash, Donald Trump, Malcolm Forbes, Warren Buffet, Tony Robbins, Hillary Clinton, the HP former CEO Carly Fiorina, etc. are all reflections balance between spirit regulator the strategy executive at. Balance between passion and discipline is what drives all of them.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart once said: "There are sublime degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both go hand in hand in the making of the genius of love, love, love, and this is the soul of genius."

The funny part is a son of Mozart, Franz Xaver Wolfgang was rumored to be a musician and a more disciplined better than his father, but he allowed only Xavier shame for him to focus on the action - his back to the audience. The need to work under the famous father was very difficult, and despite the touring extensively, he faded in history. There is again - passion structured logic and the executive branch.

balance between the two seems to be the road less traveled, but it does not have the greatest rewards. In conclusion, my experience in this broad field, so all I can recommend is that if you are an entrepreneur, learn to build the temple, and if you are an executive, and find what is passionate about the company and disclosed. The results stunned.

Thank you for reading,

BTW: "I love my Mac" when he speaks of Mac users on their computers, iPods and the iPhone is usually used words like strong words for an inanimate object, but this is the target audience of Apple. They have an emotional attachment to Apple products. Most entrepreneurs dream of creating this kind of customer loyalty. How loyal advocates turned into a cult of fanatics like? We ask Steve Jobs and Guy Kawasaki. It is, in my book, the masters. Know your audience and you have to know their emotions.

Also, Apple broke the mold and businesses. It is one of the few manufacturers of consumer products, which also provides the content. This is like TV factory as well as presentations. But unlike SONY, which does just that, and percentages Apple's profit as a percentage of sales margin of more profitable so much to manufacture. One of the best examples I've seen verticle.

this article and my blog, articles and designs etc ... are created on the MacBook Pro, with a 17-inch screen, and yes, I love my Mac.

Also, I'm not a fan of more than analyzes, especially when it comes to basic human nature. Businessmen shoot from the hip and executives to develop a strategy. One start-up builds, maintains the latter, and builds equity. What is there to analyze?

Here are some "lite" reading on the subject:

Let's face it, the products or services offered by the pricing is a nightmare.

路 km from customers out of 100 say - hey this is very cheap, and I will pay you much more than that!

路 How often do you think that in order to respond to the competition you have to lower your prices?

路 how much you do not really understand what the total cost of doing business is like getting a sale, and production costs of the product or service, and the costs of after-sales support, recovering from total business expenses?

So how do you price the above?

Below are five basic points of reference - they're for "V" to the speed of business you want to generate.

(1). Vital

This is what you need to charge to recover the total cost to run your business. It's based on numbers and will be a combination of:

路 fixed costs: they described as fixed because they do not usually change with the work that 're-size it. Usually this will be your premises, information technology, and manufacturing processes and often your employees as well. Lower is better and outsourcing is a good way to contain these costs. Thinking of renting office space, using cloud computing, and temporary staff and temporary contract.

路 variable costs: change depending how much work you are doing. This is like cholesterol, the "good" because there is a relationship based more direct evidence between what you produce and the price they charge. However, it may mean that the implementation of this work may incur additional costs to stock and work and funding.

Message: you draw but do not get paid!

2. viable

This includes all of the above, but now you are able to build in the margin over direct costs begin to provide a return for you. This includes time spent in the business, and the cost of the capital they have invested business risks taken.

NOTE: It is very likely that you will be able to restore 'premium stress "even personal sure to keep the work / life balance of good and build a good support network.

message: You draw and you do get paid!

3. The size

this is a difficult area.

post. Why? because most business is not necessarily good business!

Let's explore this little bit more.

路 If you were not've got a good understanding of the true costs of your - this is not uncommon for many companies because it worked out, "once" when I started up - but did not provide the time to look into it again - then it is very likely that you do not have to deal with your core costs.

路 issue here is not the volume of sales, but profitability. Are you sure that every 拢 1 spent to get 拢 1 and lot back to cover all the vital things that we talked about earlier.

路 many companies fall into the trap when the pricing of the volume of business of ignoring fixed costs on the grounds that they are already covered by what they are doing now so they can be ignored. But what if you do not get to work to cover the fixed costs? Ouch!

message: You do more work, but you make less profit!

4. Vision

If you start a business and then awareness and understanding of the potential and desire to what you have to sell will be minimal.

. What you need to do is to create a demand and the good news is - assuming that you have what people want - that with the advent of social media this could probably be done in a low direct cost way (as in spending money ) but not low-cost method of indirect (as is the case at the time).

Post Why? Because you will need to blogging, twittering, on Linked In and Face Book and others. And try to get a handle on "opinion leaders" - those people who will be friends and this is a 'must have. "

Why is this important? Because the price which can charge is directly affected by the economic model of "supply and demand". therefore, the more you can create a demand for what you have and the higher prices you can charge if the display is in any form is prohibited.

message: more the demand of the same costs base means more profits.

5. value

so far, so good. I hope you have found this logic to some extent. We are now in a world of fairies and fantasies. that because some of the stuff out there is not necessary that there should be no relationship between what it costs and what you charge.

Post Why? because the value - as opposed to the cost - is the rule of buying individual this done may be with prestige, exclusivity, status, being in the first 100. the good news is that these people will not be price sensitive so you can charge almost what you want - within reason.

do not make any assumptions about where the value is in the buyer's eyes. You can test this in a number of ways. Orthodox model is the pre-launch market research and I would like to mix this with a close review of who actually bought the product and why. Carefully examine what this tells us about buying motives and perceptions of the value of the most important value is delivered.

message: Value is in the eye of the buyer.
