In a perfect world public and large private companies could experience rapid growth by simply treating their client base right and taking and gradually making more transactions to increase revenues to subsidize the additional costs of more locations, employees etc. This is fine if you’re only trying to build a company worth a few million and then fold up when you’re ready to retire.

But if you are looking to build a legacy company that you can hand down to generations, create jobs, expand globally and constantly have a steady stream of purchase and merger offers as a safety net, you need to grow through acquisition and the best way to raise the capital for this process is to go public.

Going public is a technical process where the post public promotion referred to as IR or Investor Relations is the key to stabilizing and growing your share price. Limit the volume of shares for public consumption, pump out maximum publicity, make brokers and investors comb the planet to find available shares and force the price to grow by leaps and bounds by creating demand.

When you need funding use PIPES and pay off the loan so the PIPE firm doesn’t liquidate the shares onto the market, get those shares back. I had a client email me a letter he got from a Do It Yourself investor relations firm. They claim to be able to train CEOs of public companies to take care of the IR campaigns for companies on the London, OTCBB and Pink Sheets. The claim that they can teach you to never need the services of an IR firm again and my response to this client was….Um…Are you an idiot? I guess I was a little upset since I own five percent of the company that he was proposing this DIY solution for IR.

Here is the deal. You need to three basic things to have a solid investor relations campaign. First you need a Pump solution. Don’t confuse pump with pump and dump. Remember, you always want to limit the shares put out to the public but you need to pump public demand and hunger for your shares to keep the price where it’s high enough to use as collateral for loans to subsidize growth without having to release more shares onto the market.

Next you need volume. Keep the shares that are in the market place moving. Hold corporate shares to your chest and keep the shares in the public moving, without volume you won’t be able to do anything with your stock. Don’t mistake the concept of creating volume with releasing shares into the public to create cash. Last but not least you need to be in the public eye. You need to have a publicist that will get you on industry expert panels on radio, tv, blogs, podcasts and every publicity medium in between. Get your CEOs face, company name and trading symbol on the bottom corner of everything including but not limited to the bicep and forearm of every sales executive in the company. Ok maybe that’s a bit much but my point is an organization that stands together behind their CEO is an organization that will survive and thrive.

These were just a few of the points that one needs to consider when going public, trying to stay public and promoting a public company. In this industry the old conviction of . . . Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see is the golden rule.

If you are trying to raise capital with a PPM or public entity like OTCBB you need to understand the mind of the investor. After the business plan sells the investor on the business concept you need to sell them on you and your executive staff. You need to stack your executive positions with professionals with a proven track record of success and possess a solid reputation in the industry. You must paint the picture for investors that your business is run by the who’s who in your industry and this pedigree is demonstrated by your education, degree, grades in college, professional organizations of which you have been and are currently a member, advisory board positions with other corporate organizations, a track record of setting up and maintaining strategic alliances, networking contacts and more.

When an investor looks at your human resource list on your PPM, business plan or public offering docs it needs to scream power, authority and confidence. Each individual that you place on your advisory board must have a massive contribution other than ‘advice’. Advisors should be able to prove their ability to assist in crucial decisions, connect your company with strategic partners and help you get to the next level.

Your legal counsel and CPA should be well known organizations with a long list of successful, well known organizations on their client roster and they should have a lot more to offer your company than just their fee based services. Again, these organizations should be able to set you up with partnerships that will help grow your business. As far as corporate awareness you must include a publicist. The publicist that you choose must be well versed in their comprehension of your industry genre.

They must be able to take your company and get you in front of the proper audience that is conducive to enhancing your growth potential. They must be able to demonstrate their knowledge of viral online marketing as well as traditional means of radio, TV and article promotion. They should be able to reach into their contact list and set you up with one interview after another targeting your specific audience.

These are just a few things to take into consideration when you jump on the fund raising trail. Every individual you have listed on your docs must be able to pass due diligence and have the appeal that reaches into the ‘comfort’ zone portion of the investor’s mind.

A well established setup for running a business is where shareholders own the business, and the directors make the decisions regarding company direction and day to day activity. This principle generally works smoothly while the owner still manages the business and operations are still relatively small, however when new investors turn up or when several generations are involved, things can get a little bit complicated.

When the high-ups in a business want different things for the business’s future, deep conflicts can arise that can be very difficult to resolve. Other problems can include; when the founder wants to retire, should he be allowed to keep hold of his shares and carry on drawing dividends? Should he be allowed to vote on future directions of the company? What if a shareholder sets up their own business in competition with the company?

Situations like this can be potentially crippling for a business. So much time and effort from management goes into resolving the disputes that the business itself suffers. A stand-still in decision making doesn’t benefit the business in anyway and reaching a final decision can be a very long, not to mention costly process.

All of these situations can be avoided by putting together a well thought out shareholder agreement. Careful thought and forward planning early on in the business’s life can avoid big problems like shareholder disagreements further down the line. A shareholder agreement is a private document between the individuals that it concerns.

Some of the matters that can be covered in a shareholder agreement include share valuation, decision making, income distribution and succession. The way in which shares are handled can be dealt with in a set of “pre-emption” rights and these rights will usually give existing shareholders first refusal if any other shareholders want to sell. If it is agreed in the shareholders agreement that shares can only be owned by someone working in for the business, then pre-arrangements to force a share-transfer can be made in the event that a shareholder leaves.

An agreement can state that certain activities like pointing the business in new directions require all or a given percentage of shareholders to agree before they go ahead. This means that the minority shareholders will have a much bigger say in how the company is run.

Of course, how much detail you go into with your agreement is completely up to you, but if something is not covered in detail and a dispute arises later on, then a quick and decisive solution will be next to impossible.

As Graeme Provan of Tolhurst Fisher LLP stated “anyone setting up in business needs a professionally drafted agreement from the outset to avoid problems later on.”If you are having issues like this within your company, you should contact Tolhurst Fisher, they are based in Chelmsford, Essex and provide specialist solicitors in chelmsford Just click on solicitors in Essex

The Importance Of Business Analysis

Today, businesses require effective business analysis in order to maintain competitiveness in a highly competitive business world. Effective business analysis involves taking information gathered from a variety of sources and analyzing for the purpose of forecasting future trends, finding ways to make improvements in business strategies, improving businesses operations, and making smart business decisions to improve the company’s bottom line. Understanding key marketing areas is essential to helping a business generate revenue and cut down on excess waste.

Business analysis can include market research analysis such as analyzing consumer data from such sources as transaction records, consumer surveys, polls…etc. It can also include financial analysis, inventory analysis, product and service analysis, and much more. Effective business analysis helps a business avoid making incorrect decisions that can result in time and money being wasted when going back to fix any problems as well as finding the right solution. The result of finding the right solution the first time is projects get completed in a timely manner, strategies are executed with the results benefiting the business, and there is effective monitoring of the project that allows for the best adjustments that results in the best outcome.

Effective business analysis allows managers to make sure accurate information is distributed and understood by the entire project team. With the correct information, the team is able to work together in an efficient manner to create a plan that has a higher chance of success. Today, there is effective business analysis software and applications that allows managers to not only keep up with current consumer shopping trends as well as forecast future trends. For instance, a supermarket that analyses and tracks customer purchases will be able to design and implement marketing strategies around their customers’ personal shopping habits. As well, data from surveys is another example of analyzing the information to determine the best way to market products and services.

It is not just consumer analysis that will benefit a business. Financial analysis is also important for a business. This can include analyzing budgets, cash flows, inventory costs, profit and loss statements, and balance sheets. By performing effective financial analysis, a business can identify spending waste and streamline operations to make the business more profitable.

Due to changing demographics and consumer habits, it is important that a business has a clear understanding of their current and future trends in order to meet changing consumer preferences. Fortunately, there is quality data mining software available that can help a business collect and analyze relevant data to improve operations and marketing strategies. As well, it helps identify populations and lifestyles including current and future behavior trends, and helps forecast future business decisions.

In today’s highly competitive market, you cannot run a successful business without understanding your customers as well as all facets of the company. Effective business analysis ensures the right decisions are made that will best benefit the business and mitigate incidents of unrealistic expectations that results in disappointments and loss of revenue. Effective business analysis allows a business to take the guess work out of business decisions. The result is an overall improvement in the businesses bottom line.

Market leader in providing a new generation of business analysis and data mining, that create true business statistics.

Any organization that wants to achieve success in today’s ultra competitive and swiftly moving business world must implement performance management tools that show results. A company’s true value and longevity must rely on these tools to beat the endless competition the world over. This also means ultimately that the employees must be happy in order to be effective.

One of the first parts involved in choosing the tops in performance management tools is performing an assessment of the whole company. This tool should be among the best in diagnostic instruments with a good track record. This identifies employee and company problems universally. There should be interviews, surveys, assessments of final data, and interviews that follow up.

What comes next in performance management tools is to review the best practices. The Baldridge National Quality Institute offers a list of businesses that can be searched for similar structures in order to study their tools. They are listed because they show the best in performance practices and utilize them well.

Any company has its own inside units that use performance management tools effectively. At least one of the organization’s units will show top tools and happy, effective employees. Studying this information and how they put it into practice while keeping employees happy means that this is an awesome and free tool to implement.

The best performance management tools are ones that generate results quickly. This is also crucial as it shows the employees that there are going to be changes that will actually work.

Employees want to look at these performance management tools. They do not have any desire to see charts and graphs about how the tools may work. This simply defeats morale and causes further discouragement. This is the last thing a company wants or needs.

Teams can be a great way to enhance performance management tools. Partnering together the best employees that do the best work in certain areas mean that they are going to introduce the best results. Ignoring the employees that do all of the front line work to begin with is a sure way to continue a descent into bad business and can even result in the complete failure of a company. Those with titles need to actively acknowledge those in the trenches with praise and encouragement. This can be the absolute unsurpassed morale booster in performance management tools available.

Any company that wants to show and keep success will need to find and use good performance management tools. The tips given can get the ball rolling.

Proposal Writing

Writing proposals which are compliant (in the format the customer is expecting), competitive (delivering what they have asked for in an efficient way) and compelling (leaving no doubt in their mind you are the best organisation with the best offer) takes considerable skill, thought and effort.

Firstly, read, understand and answer the questions. The initial step in the proposal writing process is reading. Read the words in the invitation to tender document, RFP (request for proposal) RFQ (quotation request) or research grant call several times until you understand fully what is required. You will probably need to do some background research on your history and competitors.

The next step in the process of writing a proposal writing process is to identify the primary aim of the proposal and condense all of the requirements into five key things the customer really needs from the service or proposal. The lists below gives you a brief proposal writing template as an example of how to do this. This will makes it easier to convey clear messages throughout the rest of the proposal.

* Key Theme – Detail the requirement from the ITT

* Value for money – Demonstrate this showing that it’s fixed for duration of contract

* Innovation and Flexibility – your general approach, show some examples, outline some future ideas, and show flexibility

* Customer Service – Complaint escalation, approach to compliance, and voluntary code

* Reporting – management reports, skills staff, future plans

* Robustness of your organisation – management structure, detailed organisation charts, disaster recovery plans

Now you need to create the proposal document itself. If one is provided in the ITT, RFP or RFQ then use that. If not, you’ll probably annoy the customer and at could even be rejected outright for non-compliance. If the ITT, RFP or RFQ does not provide a specific proposal structure then use the evaluation criteria to help you create your headings and sub-headings. This makes it simple for the evaluator to determine if you have answered all of the questions properly.

A simple but important piece of advice is to keep in mind that in writing, less is more. Every word in the document should be there for a reason.

In the past six months Tenders-UK have given tender writing training workshops to 272 individuals from 167 firms, 96% of whom were SMEs. 100% of delegates rated the workshops good or excellent. The tender and proposal writing tools and techniques we teach have been proven over a 14 year period to consistently achieve success rates of greater than 60%.

Is Your Business Serious About Sales?

One of our legendary partners recently asked me for an agenda for a Sales Meeting for his Resort. I put together a one page document that detailed the components necessary for an effective meeting, but as I looked it over while sitting at my desk in the Florida Golf Community at Juliette Falls, I felt more explanation was necessary. So, I began to expand on the simple format and explain a bit about the “why” behind each item. It goes back to the old adage, “if it is getting measured, it is getting done.”

I see so many examples of sales opportunities being squandered for a variety of reasons including:

1. Failure to capture leads.

2. Lack of a systemized process to follow up on leads.

3. No specific strategy put in place to produce leads.

4. A salary versus a commission based system for compensating the people selling the item or service.

5. Lack of a formal, weekly meeting to create accountability for specific sales goals, future booking goals, and new lead generation.

Think about how much time you spend each week on various activities in your club or resort. Time is spent speaking with members and guests, purchasing goods, ordering services, scheduling employees work hours, processing paperwork, and dozens of other different things. And all of these activities are necessary functions for the business.

But, to be SERIOUS ABOUT SALES, you must also formally devote at least a few hours each week to the sales process to make sure that the focus is not only on servicing the company you have right now, but bringing new business to the table for the future business as well. So, how do you do that? Read on.

A Formal Weekly Sales Meeting

A Sales Meeting should be conducted weekly at an established time with every salesperson in your club or resort on a one on one basis and be lead by the club’s or resort’s General Manager/Sales Manager. The required reports for the meeting should include:

1. A weekly report showing actual sales from the week most recently ended with a comparison to plan and prior year.

2. A report detailing all the new sales by revenue source booked for the future for the week just ended compared to the benchmark needed to ensure that planned sales are on track to be achieved.

3. A report detailing the new leads and prospects generated this week by revenue source.

4. A forecast of revenues for the upcoming 4 weeks compared to planned revenues.

5. Review of the quarterly game plan activities and the progress being made on their implementation.

The following are the steps necessary to conduct an effective sales meeting that focuses everyone involved in the sales process on the key indicators of success, keeps the quarterly game plan a dynamic, working document, and most importantly, creates accountability.

The Agenda

1. Review of Prior Week’s Actual Sales

How did last week’s revenues compare to plan and prior year? This is information that provides a snapshot of how we did last week and how our current financial reporting period is going to look; however, it is the least important part of a sales meeting. Why? Because it is LAST week!

Great, good, OK, or lousy, it’s over and nothing can be done to change it now. It provides a historical perspective and that has value, but only value in that you hopefully learned what was done right, wrong, and what action you will take in response to the results. So, review what happened, but spend little time on this part of the meeting.

2. Review of Future Bookings

More importantly, review how many packages, room nights, private events, tee times, outings, or other relevant sources of revenue were booked this week for the future. This is as important as the actual financial results for the week because it is a key indicator of future sales success. Plus, it provides a sales manager with critical information about the performance of the salesperson.

Rather than simply reviewing the actual sales that occurred during the week that just ended, reviewing the new revenues the salespeople were able to secure for the future and comparing that number to an established benchmark that a club/resort needs in order to meet its plan is imperative!

For example, if your private events goal is $1 million annually, you must consistently book new revenues of $20,000 or more every week (or average that amount) or you won’t be successful in reaching your goal. Similarly, if your closing rate on prospects for membership sales is 10% and you were successful in adding 10 new prospects during the week, you can anticipate one new membership within your club’s sales cycle for memberships, typically a 2 to 6 week time frame.

These types of revenue benchmarks should be established for all relevant revenue sources in your club/resort. This will also give you specific information on the timing of the booking of new sales.

While weddings are likely to be booked 6 months to a year in advance, what is reasonable at your golf club or golf resort for a golf package, a round of golf, a room night, or a social function? Knowing how much business is predicted to be on the books in advance at specific intervals allows you to take action today that will make certain future success.

Celebrate the successes of the new sales that were booked even though those sales and revenues won’t be coming in this week. They are your future and a good week of bookings deserves to be recognized now!

3. Existing Leads

Review how many leads are existing and what actions are being taken to close these leads. This involves going over each lead, one at a time, and determining what the next step in the sales process should be. This may be setting an appointment, inviting a guest for a tasting, setting up a tee time for a prospective member, or any other activity with the goal of moving the sales process forward.

And be certain that every contact a salesperson makes with a lead/prospect has a specific goal related to the contact. It does not have to be closing the contact on a sale, but it should be closing the contact on something, such as a club visit, a food tasting, a round of golf, the sale if at the proper point in the sales cycle, or any other relevant step that moves the sales process forward.

Savvy salespeople know all of this and do it habitually, but some people that are new to sales very likely need and would appreciate this kind of assistance in planning and coaching.

This is also the appropriate time for the General Manager/Sales Manager to ask the sales staff if there are any roadblocks or obstacles that are getting in the way of closing sales. This type of dialogue not only can take down those obstacles, but also in many cases provide a better club/resort experience for its members or guests. It doesn’t matter if your staff is selling marketing information or Florida Golf Homes, remember to ask them about roadblocks or obstacles that are getting in the way of closing sales!

4. New Leads

A key indicator of future sales success is the generation of new leads. All too often sales people become so obsessed with closing their existing leads that the generation of new leads to sell to takes a back seat. This leads to an up and down cycle of sales success.

Carefully review not only new business that was actually booked and the leads that have been generated previously and are in the pipeline, but also the new leads generated during the past week for the products and services your club/resort offers. A sales management tool that keeps track of all new leads generated and follows the leads through the sales cycle to their logical conclusion must be in place in order to be effective in sales management.

To be effective a dedicated effort to generate new leads must be conducted concurrent with an effort to close those which exist.

An effective sale manager will ensure that the salesperson is staying in balance and focusing appropriate time on not only closing leads and moving pre-existing leads through the sale cycle, but on generating new leads as well.

And do not forget to celebrate the generation of new leads. These are your future revenues! I make sure that my golf management company team celebrates everytime a new lead comes in!

5. Forecast Review

How much in revenue is on the books for the near term, the next 4 to 6 weeks? Are forecasted revenues going to make plan, exceed plan, or fall short of plan?

If revenues are looking good, great! Ask what can be done to capture a greater share of the business that you are going to see over the next several weeks as bookings are solid and will allow you to achieve plan. What are we going to up-sell in every area? What in addition can we cross promote? If someone is planning a large party or outing, suggestively selling something additional to enhance the experience is always worth a try.

If revenues look like they will fall short of plan, what can be done to create some revenue in the short term? Most golf clubs and resorts have a database of members/guests/customers/prospects. What offer can you send to fill in the gaps and mitigate the revenue shortfall? So many clubs/resorts know that business is going to be slow and just sit back and accept it. Don’t fall into the “woe is me” mode. Take action and develop a new offer to drive short term sales.

This also provides a needed “heads up” for everyone in operations. An effective General Manager, armed with this type of information, will decrease variable payroll in harmony with less revenues and spend money only on necessities during this time frame.

6. Game Plan Review

This presupposes you actually have a game plan you are following each quarter for all relevant sources of revenue with activities specified to drive sales, goals established for the results you want to achieve, a responsible party designated for each activity, and a timeline set for implementation. If this is not in place, then discontinue reading this for now and start planning.

If you do have a game plan in place as described above, you should review each of the initiatives that are planned for the current quarter and determine the status of each. This should include a review of the deadlines for implementation, the leads, prospects, and sales generated, and any “tweaks” that should be made to improve the sales results.

As the quarter continues, decide what was and wasn’t effective in the current quarter and be certain that those initiatives that worked best in the current quarter are included in the next.

So, in review, establishing a quarterly game plan for the growth of all relevant revenues for your club or resort and then following up systematically as described above with a formal weekly sales meeting to ensure implementation, accountability, and ultimately sales success is key if your are SERIOUS ABOUT SALES!

Over the past 2 years the economy has been a seesaw. Sometimes it is up, sometimes it is down. Companies all over have been hurting, and the small business has been taking the brunt of the blow. So far this year, I would say that about seventy five percent of the people have come to me for consulting own or operate a small business that has been put on its knees because of the econmy.

The answer for most businesses is this; get you staff marketing and sales training. The reason I say most is because some businesses are just meant to go under. Just like the circle of life, things begin and end for each company. However, for those businesses that are just taking a hard hit, sales and marketing training is what will put them back on track. Sales and marketing training for my staff is what saved my business.

A lot of people seem to have forgotten the economic crisis of the early 1980s. What did successful companies do then? Did they just sit around and wait? Did they just catch a break? No! They were aggressive and took steps to ensure that their business was armed with staff that had information about how to sell something and how marketing could help both bring in new leads and help sell product.

Sales and marketing training increased my business by 25% in 2009. How many other small businesses can say that they saw an increase in their business? Only the smart ones, which seems to be very rare these days. People just do not make an effort to try and find a answer to their problems.

At this point I know what you are going to say “I have no money to spend on sales and marketing training, what am I supposed to do?”. And I am going to give you the same answer I give my clients, which is “marketing and sales training does not have to be expensive. You can just got out and buy a few marketing books and a few books on sales and be a couple of steps ahead of your competition.”

Sales and marketing training does not mean that you call a marketing speaker to come train you entire staff on location. It also does not mean that your sales and marketing teams need to attend a special seminar that cost a lot of money. You can train your staff just by having them read a few books. After people have read a few of the top sales and marketing books they will have more knowledge then your competition down the street, and after they see the success they have had just by applying a few common principles they will continue to expand their knowledge on the subject.

Think about it for a few seconds. Just by having your staff read a few books, you will increase your sales. Marketing books like Cunningly Clever Marketing are a very good place to have them start off. Books on sales like Cunningly Clever Selling are a good place to have people begin. You will watch your sales sky rocket and your marketing sharpen as your business team becomes more educated about sales and marketing. It does not matter if your company sells Florida Golf Homes or cars, the training will make things start to happen!

So to turn your business around in 2010, all it takes is a few marketing and sales books and some time spent reading. Have your staff get a few marketing books, a few books on sales, and have them rotate around the office. In no time you will see results and you will be able to say, “Marketing and sales training saved my business!” and you can make sure that the next time the world is in a economic slowdown, that you are armed and prepared for success.

Finding The Best Business Continuity Solutions

Almost every type of organization depends upon computer systems for infrastructure. Business continuity solutions companies provide organizations with software tools to manage and recover from any threatening events, from natural catastrophes to data loss to security dangers. Business continuity solutions are a form of insurance to protect organizations.

Some business continuity solutions companies are more comprehensive than others, with varying software for different business sectors that include-Education, Manufacturing, Health Care, Government, Transportation, Finance, Retail, Telecommunications, and e-Commerce. The best business protection plans consider all possible risks to an operation and aim to integrate all solutions into their plan. Mitigation experts analyze and design a logistical solution for organizations to retain full functionality after any disruption like a computer crash or earthquake.

Mitigation professionals visit a site over the course of a few days to review an organization’s infrastructure. An organization’s data is the infrastructure, which experts use to define risks. Possible threats are identified within each section of the business organization, including all IT systems. Experts develop a data continuity model to determine the overall resiliency of an organization. Mitigation experts can then provide a continuity planning strategy to protect against every type of threat imaginable–from natural disasters to security threats to crashes.

Effective business continuity solutions cover both business continuity planning and disaster recovery both in the business operations and IT. Every aspect of management should be included, from disaster and emergency response to asset recovery and recovery team work.

Many organizations have precarious models in place for disaster recovery. Instead of one integrated planned platform, they have a disjointed network of tools in place that would be too unwieldy to access in a real disaster event. Business continuity companies are adept at standardizing many interfaces into an integrated solution. They organize data to run reliably in the event of a threat, with backups and high-level communications. Continuity experts arm organizations with data documentation, while securing networks.

The best business continuity solutions also provide training to organizations, including disaster response, emergency management, recovery phases, recovery roles. They also provide test management, monitoring and strategies or recovery teams, with continual improvement .

Modern organizations cannot afford to compromise business continuity. Lost data and communication can be irretrievable. The best business continuity companies provide cutting edge software with help managing it. They provide analysis and real world solutions.
