Do You Know The Most Crucial Factor Relating To Your Business Success

January 8th, 2012 by admin No comments »

It’s this simple.

You must be able to deliver your product at the time you promise and in the condition you promise it. Yes, other things matter, but these are most critical factors; on time and in new condition. The condition may change if what you’re selling is being sold “as used.” But you must let your buyer know before the sale.

Want proof?

Do you listen when a customer calls to complain? What are they complaining about? Either you didn’t get it there on time, or it was damaged. Correct? Oh, they may use other words, just the same, it’s either you didn’t get it there on time, or it was damaged. In today’s digital world, this has become even more critical.

Do you like living on the edge? Taking chances? Risking it all? That’s fine when you’re enjoying a vacation and trying to relieve the stress of your work, but it s t r e t c h e s anyone’s imagination to believe that the risk involved in entrepreneurship involves taking a gamble with your production line! This is just not the area for risk!

You don’t have to take this risk. Today, you have choices.

Sudden failure of electrical equipment happens only.01% of the time. 99.99% of the time, failure occurs gradually. You’ll probably miss all the signs. Most times, you’ll believe the signs to be insignificant. You won’t be watching for what happens.

Then one day, in the height of production, you’ll have “sudden failure!?” Don’t be concerned though, because “sudden failure” only happens a very small percentage of the time. And don’t torture yourself because we have your solutions.

Let me put it this way.

Think of a baseball game. When ball player number one comes to the plate and the pitch is in his sweet spot, his timing is right, and his swing is level, 95% of the time he will hit a home run. This is not chance, this is not risk; this is just the game.

Next, when ball player number two comes to the plate with all the identical conditions, but he has a hair-line fracture in his bat, 100% of the time his bat will break and chances are he’ll be thrown out at first. This is not chance, this is not risk, and this is also the game.

Everything is impossible to tell apart, except for one, small, and unnoticed factor – a hairline fracture.

If only ball player number two could have scanned his bat first to see if it was okay. He could have switched bats and hit the home run also.

I’m sure you would like to be ball player number one rather than ball player number two. Because you have this option for your production line, you never have to go to bat as ballplayer number two.

Thermo-graphic, infrared scans across all your electrical connections are like an x-ray for the baseball players bat. Slight temperature rises at any connection will mean that connection is loose. As the scan is performed, these connections are tightened. This one procedure will save you money on your electric bills, but more importantly, it will save your equipment and business from a “sudden electrical failure.”

You can avoid the pitfalls of “sudden electrical failure” by being proactive. Make the decision now while this is fresh on your mind.

10 Things You Need to Remember for a Business Trip

December 16th, 2011 by admin No comments »

If you’re heading off on a business trip, there will be a number of items that will be crucial to its success. Therefore, it’s a good idea to create a checklist of items that you’ll need to pack or secure before you depart.

Here’s a list of 10 things that you may want to add to your list:

1. When travelling for business, efficiency is all important. Making sure you have secured fast check in for the airport will help reduce your waiting time, allowing you to spend more time working.

2. In the time between check-in and boarding, you may want a quiet place to work or relax. If so, booking into an executive lounge may be a sensible option. You can read the paper, work on your laptop or even enjoy a drink away from the crowds.

3. Which is why remembering your laptop charger is an absolute must. There’s nothing worse than getting to your meeting overseas and finding your laptop’s power has drained and you have no way of charging it up. If you want to be doubly prepared, storing any presentations or documents on a USB device could be a sensible decision.

4. Another thing you won’t want to forget is your phone charger. Your phone will no doubt be an important asset during your trip, whether it’s for contacting the people you’re meeting or going online, so being able to keep the battery charged will be vital.

How to Stay Safe During International Business Travel

December 16th, 2011 by admin No comments »

When you go on business travel, are you so caught up in why you are going and the job at hand that you forget other important things or find yourself looking for something at the last minute?

When preparing for international business travel you should prepare just as you would for an important business meeting. Find out about the country you are going to. One thing that is very important is to find out what the weather will be like when you get there. This will help you when you are thinking about the type of clothes to pack. Nothing is worse than getting somewhere only to find out you have packed inappropriate clothing. In addition, women take note of local customs on what women are and are not allowed to wear in the country you are going to. Learn about any local customs that are used in and outside of business circles. Just knowing a bit about the country and showing knowledge or appreciation while you are there can go a long way to help conduct smooth business transactions.

Time difference can also play a big factor in international business travel. Will you be traveling somewhere that is say 8 hours behind your local time? This may seem great as with the flight you are actually gaining time however your body clock will be in flux and you may find yourself wanting to sleep in the middle of a meeting or wanting to eat at times that are inconvenient. Try and adapt your habits for a couple days before your travel. Adjust by 2 hours each day your sleeping and eating habits if possible and that should ease the jet lag suffering. Also, make sure you don’t have meetings booked for as soon as you get off the plane.
