Effective Marketing is About Loving Your Customers
“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.” ~Henry FordDo you cut corners in your products and services? Or do you make the honest effort to do it right even when no one is looking? You can’t expect perfection as that is an impossible goal for the imperfect people we are. The question is simply if you have done your best. Do you do the job right even if your customer or client may never know the difference?Marketing with Integrity is about loving your customer. Develop a relationship with them. Advise them. Help them. Offer them products and services which will help them. Protect them from those who would take advantage of them. It isn’t about being the cheapest in the market, although you could make that your unique selling position.It is really caring about the results your customers get from your products. If good service and quality require higher prices, then you’ll have to charge higher prices. Base your business on really helping solve your customer’s problems.That shouldn’t just be a buzz phrase. Make it the truth to you and your business.Employ educational selling. Tell your customers the whole sto

Do you enter into business relationships, acquisitions, property investments, partnerships, or enter into a transaction without first verifying a companies identity, associates and affiliations?

Most people do and your not alone. However most entrepreneurs still enter into business relationships with curiosity and unanswered questions they may have regarding a company or associate of a particular company. Wouldn’t it be beneficial to you and or your company to limit liability and risk by conducting due diligence before entering into business relationships?

By limiting your risk and liability your business will have a far greater chance to succeed. By conducting simple due diligence and developing your own profile on any person or business you will have a much better understanding of a particular business and its associates which is vital to your business decisions. 90% of the information you need to know can be found on-line. You just have to know where to look for it, and how to look for it. I will show you how you can develop your own profile on anyone or any business on-line for free.

Example on a property investment acquisition. I contacted an individual who had placed a classified add through an on-line newspaper under real estate finance/services for hard money lending, private money lenders. I was really just trying to get a feel for the market in that specific area of the country. I do this by contacting various types of real estate professionals such Agents, brokers, title companies/escrow, private/hard money lenders, bird dogs, wholesalers, etc. When I call I get their personal name and the company name they work for (if any). If it’s a company its usually an LLC which is very common in the real estate industry or another type of corporate entity. A lot of times people talk fast or not very clear on the phone. So I always have them spell out their name and company name and have them provide me any additional contact numbers that they can provide should I need to speak with them at another time.

When the subject I’m speaking to on the phone tells me the name of the company he or she represents and it is a corporate entity such as an LLC, S-Corp, partnership, etc. I know right away I can get the corporate members names within a few minutes. I will first go to the states web site in which the individual claims to conduct business in and lookup the entity online by the name of the company.

Just about all the states in the U.S have free online searches at their web sites where you can lookup information about a corporation by company name or agent names. Just go to your favorite search engine like Google or MSN and type in the name of the state and corporations. Example “Arizona Corporations”, “Texas Corporations”, “Nevada Corporations”. The search engines will typically return the results your looking for within the first two organic search result listings. Once you get to the states web site you will need to find where on the web site you can lookup a Corporation. Usually it will just read “Look up Corporations”. Type in the name of the company and you can find out all corporate members, addresses, resident agents, corporate status- good standing- dissolved, revoked, etc. What I typically do is find out if the name the subject provided to me on the phone is indeed an actual member of the corporation, and then I run his or her name through the states database and see if he or she is involved in any other types of corporations. I find that is quite common to have members involved in several corporations.

Sometimes you will not find a companies name in the specific states database. There could be a few reasons for this. The company may be a sole proprietor, or the company is registered in another state but has not filed as a foreign entity in the state they are doing business in. Sometimes companies operate this way. In this case it would be wise to search the Nevada and Delaware corporation web sites to determine if the company or agents are registered in either of those two states. There are a great number of corporations that register in Nevada and Delaware simply because of the asset protection. It’s difficult to pierce the corporate veil under the laws of those two states and that alone drives many, many companies to register in those particular states.

I then run the companies name and agents name through online courthouse records in the specific county where they are residing in or conducting business in. Again like with the states, most counties have some type of information that is accessible online. Civil, family law and criminal filings are what you would most be interested in. You can go to the National Association of Counties by going to- http://www.naco.org and look up the county of your interest and you will go to their web site and see what kind of records that are accessible on-line for you to search.

Dressing Casual Should Not Be the Norm
By: Donald J. Eversdyk February 18, 2007The latest fashion trend that seems to be becoming the norm is the way people dress. Whether it is for work, daily activities, or a special event, people are lowering their standards. Seems everywhere I go lately either people don’t care what they look like, are just plain lazy, or a combination of both. I’d like to give you three examples that happened to me in the past month.A company was holding an open interview session for invited candidates for a number of open positions. They took a group of people in at a time and gave a brief overview of the company. All of the candidates were professionally dressed, but the interviewer told them they were all overdressed. Khakis and polo shirts are fine and we even have a blue jean Friday policy. Strike One.My next adventure led me to the shopping mall. Men, women, teenagers, and younger kids all dressed in baggy jeans, extra large shirts, or sweat pants. Shirts not tucked in, pants hanging down, basic general hygiene obsolete. Strike Two.The third and final example led me and my wife to a Wine Tasting at the Milwaukee County Zoo. As we ente

China Investment Information
China Joint Ventures: Joint ventures (JV) are allowed to carry out manufacturing and sales operations in China. A JV is also permitted to sell products through its own sales network.Equity Joint Venture: A Company, with limited liability, set up by a Chinese company and a foreign investor, is an Equity Joint Venture. The parties share profits and losses in proportion to their respective contributions to Joint Venture's registered capital. Starting from 2001, Equity Joint Ventures are governed by the Law of the PRC on Joint Ventures using Chinese and Foreign Investment. Co-operative Joint Venture: The Law of the PRC on Chinese-Foreign Contractual Co-operative Enterprises governs Co-operative Joint Ventures. A Co-operative Joint Venture is similar to an Equity Joint Venture in many respects, and many of the same regulations apply. However, principal features that distinguish a Co-operative Joint Venture from an Equity Joint Venture include the following: Co-operative Joint Venture does not have to be a legal entity. The concept of registered capital is less clear than that in the case of an Equity Joint Venture. Pa

What Makes A Long Term Employee Employer Relationship?
Most successful employers have similar traits when it comes to being driven to succeed. They are perfectionist to the point of almost being obsessive compulsive; happen to be extremely motivated, and stubborn to a fault, and at times extremely difficult to deal with. Nothing gets in their way; they do not dwell on problems, but seek solutions. Their vision is to do whatever it takes to get from point A to Point B while avoiding as many bumps on the road as possible. To accomplish what they have set out to do has been carefully planned, and they try to leave very little to chance.Most employees who are working at a job or had in the past might have felt their employers are unreasonable. Maybe in certain cases that would be true. However in general an intelligent employer hires employees to assist him/her in reaching an objective, and once attained, assisting him/her to the next level. They do not have time for excuses, tardiness, or personal problems on company time. If an employer finds a more suitable candidate for the position, they might consider letting an employee go in order to better their companies position. The term most commonly used is

Let me give you a recent example of how my typical investigation starts.

The individual that I recently contacted in regards to private money lending had provided me his name and company name when I asked, which is typical with any dealings on the phone. I already had his contact number from the add that he had placed on-line in the classifieds under “real estate finance/services”.

I first ran the phone number to see if it was a cell number or a landline number. I do that by going to http://fonefinder.net I then ran his telephone number through Google to see if it appears online anywhere. I enter phone numbers in Google like this:- area code-prefix-phone number. Example- “111-555-1212” . Running this search gives me a good idea if the phone number he provided me has been used anywhere online. Sometimes I find a different name of the company other than what they provided, or I may find a web site where the phone number was used as a contact number, I may even find a personal add placed where the subject was trying to sell a classic car and the contact number matched that of which I already had. Or I can find out which forums the subject hangs out at, he may have used the phone number there. If I find a website where the contact number I entered into Google shows up, I find out who owns the web site by searching the whois directory located here- http://www.betterwhois.com I may find another name or indeed find out my subject owns this particular web site.

I start developing my profile of the business and the subject themselves by initially starting with a simple phone number. I can find all kinds of interesting things by simply running a search through Google with the subjects contact telephone number.

I then ran the company name that the subject had provided me by going online at the specific states website where I can look up and find out information about corporations. This will allow me to verify or reveal agents names. Sure enough he was a member of the corporation. However the last name he provided to me was spelled and pronounced much differently than what was revealed with the corporation search. It was way off.

I then went to the respective county web site to search online for civil and criminal records on the subject. I knew which county to search based on the subjects phone number and also the zip code that was returned for the subjects address revealed in the corporation search through the states website.

I found numerous civil filings on the subject regarding business dealings including an Exparte filed for a wire tap on the subjects phone number as well as family law cases involving domestic violence. I also found a criminal case-. Possession of marijuana

Now it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make up ones mind if they would like to enter into a business relationship with this subject. There is a greater possibility that I might have issues with this individual and things may not work out so well in the future.

There are many scenarios of why you would need to conduct due diligence on a individual or company. But remember you should always verify or reveal information on an individual or company prior to entering into a business relationship.

A construction cost estimator knows that there are a lot of expenses that need to be tracked when estimating a job. Many people who have been in the industry for a long time have always relied on pen, paper and a calculator to estimate a job. The size of the contingency should be based upon the size of the job. If all goes off without a hitch, there will be an excess of funds to use for addition work or anything else the client wants to do.
