Job seeking has become a very difficult task, especially since the financial tsunami and the global enconomic downturn. You may even need to apply jobs in different areas other than your own professional. Once you gone through several rounds of interviews, the employer may prefer you to join in their concern. You need to sign up an employment agreement form that consists of various norms. Whether you are temporary or permanent employee, you need to follow the rules and regulation of the company you are going to join. The problem arises here, whether you are in hurry or not, you have to read the legal documents of your employment very carefully. Do not sign up the agreement in hurry and without thorough thought.

Using Smart Rules for Best Benefits

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

If you are extremely concerned with filing cross customers complaints, documents under seal or filing for reconsideration, you can outsource the tasks to some professional companies. Motion for Leave to file cross-complaint is a motion where the party applies to the court for granting permission to file cross-complaint.  The opposite part can move for refusal of such requests but the onus will lie on them to establish why prejudice or adversities might result. The papers should be supported with statement of facts, legal brief and citations on legal authority including affidavit and documents.

As such, you require prior order of the court for moving motion to file documents under seal. However some parties may also move very often for ex-parte order on filing documents under seal. Such motions can also be moved using the electronic media and by notice as well. The best part of it is that there is no deadline for filing documents under seal. Motion for reconsideration in respect of a court order can ordinarily be made within ten days of the entry of the order.  The period excludes holidays and weekends.  Reconsideration is applicable in case of decisions taken by magistrate judges, and it also tolls the time for filing appeal before the district court.

How to Better Communicate with Your Non-Native English Speaking Outsourcing Partners

Monday, May 4th, 2009

The Internet breaks down geographical barriers - You and I now can communicate and do business with others halfway around the world.

Either you do brick-and-mortar business or online business, partnering and outsourcing to overseas partners are found to be cost effective.

However, this benefit comes at a price - “patchy” conversation and communication.

Most likely, you will contact and partner with non-native English speaking people.

Even in India, where English is the country’s second language, there are some barriers in communication, resulting in inevitable misunderstanding.

I blog in English, but I do misuse words or sentences that can mislead you, the reader. In business deals, this can be fatal.

How to communicate better with a non-native English speaking partner

I have a long-time client resides in Florida, US - He told me that communicating with his Romanian partner is problem-ridden. He afraid that his partner would leave him and gone without any traces. He is, of course, assuming.

This is one example of bad communication due to language barriers affecting your business - You can be misunderstood, that can lead you losing business opportunities.

For those of you whose first language is not English (like myself), I’m NOT suggesting you to take business English class (although doing so helps to some cases). However, I do suggest you to have everything in writing.

Not only emails, but also instant messages. Having your phone conversation recorded or transcripted can also help you a great deal.

Your business conversation in writing can help you to clarify an issue in the past - So, any misunderstood issues can be resolved referring to the transcript.

One, final, tip for you: Whenever you don’t understand what your client is saying or writing to you, clarify, clarify, clarify.

I’ve done that quite often, and although it may seem unprofessional, it’s better to deliver things as agreed with clear communication channel. Cleaning up the mess due to misunderstanding is resource intensive and unnecessary.

Franchises Thrive in Recession

Friday, May 1st, 2009


Subway franchiseIf you asked me whether to invest in a franchise unit or other business, I would definitely answer franchise unit.

For me this is a no brainer - Franchises thrive because of something “organic” they have that any other business types don’t.Franchise opportunities are being offered without showing signs of slowing down - a good sign of recession-resistant business type.

What Franchises have that other business types don’t

Franchising embraces the power of number. Even a 10-unit franchise opportunity is way much, much stronger than its stand-alone or multi-unit non-franchise counterparts.

Ten heads are better than one - Having business owners teamworking, pursuing ways to secure their franchise units away from recession is the best thing with franchising.

Combine that with the inherited benefit of a franchise - proven business system, industry knowledge and the buying power - there is probably no business opportunities better than franchise opportunities.

Is franchising recession-proof?

I won’t say franchising is recession-proof, but I do say that franchising is recession-resistant.

Can you fail with franchising? Of course. How likely you will succeed with franchising? More likely than other business types.

These days, there are no better business opportunities than low cost franchise opportunities.

What low-cost franchise opportunities can offer you

Recession can lose you your job. However, getting downsized and made redundant is probably the best way to get into entrepreneurship. While looking for another job might be very difficult and even if you do get one, it might not give you the same job satisfaction and salary you had with your previous employer, entrepreneurship is probably your best option to take.

Recession can also lose you your business. If your problem is failure due to too much trial-and-error (this is my case :P), franchising could be your best bet, as it offers a tested-and-true system that will eliminate the majority of your trial-and-error headaches, and let you focus what’s important - grow your business.

Build a Business, Not a Job

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Building BlocksWhether you are involving in a brick-and-mortar business or an online business, you must understand that not all businesses are created equal.

Some businesses allow you to practice hands-off management, enabling you to be a passive business owner.

Some other businesses just don’t allow you to take your eyes-off the business - doing so might cause your business to stumble and lose traction in the market they are in.

The first time I entered entrepreneurship, I thought that everybody wants a hands-off business. The truth is, business owners often don’t want to stay away from their businesses, not even a second.

This, in return, creates a group of entrepreneurs that described themselves as “24-hour-is-not-enough entrepreneurs.” Some are simply workaholics, some are simply die-hard fans of their business concepts, and some are simply want to get out but the circumstances don’t allow them to.

I am a member of the latter entrepreneur group. I want to get out and work on other business opportunities; I don’t like to mingle too long in a business - My reason is, doing so will shut your creativity and lose you opportunities.

I want to build a business, not a job!

For those that share the same view, this blog post is just for you :)

Why You Have to Do Business Online - Part 2

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

work at homeThis is the second and final part of the 2-post series. Just in case you have missed the first part, here is the blog post - Why You Have to Do Business Online - Part 1.

In the first part of the series, I talked about stats, stats and stats - The idea is not to blabber about pointless data; The idea is to give you the facts and what you should do to respond to them.

You might said, “Well, all look promising. But what about the dot com bubble burst that caused the loss of billions of dollars back in the year 2000?” My answer to your question: Yes, but businesses learning from the pioneers and start smarter than ever… and thrive.

Online businesses, such as eBay the online marketplace, CraigList the online classified, and Facebook the online community, are enjoying their slice in the Internet business world, despite the lingering problem of recession.

If you do too much waiting game, you will soon realise that it’s a bad decision making. People who took the online opportunities before you will achieve success, and even if you decide to enter the online business arena sooner than you would wanted to, you can’t possibly achieve what those people has achieved. Will there be another Google? I don’t know and I don’t think so. Will there be another eBay? I don’t know and I don’t think so.

Adding to the negatives of playing the waiting game, the Internet has enabled teenagers (and a rare case I’ve found is a successful webpreneur at… 9 years old! - A scam? I don’t know…) But I know some teenpreneurs (around their 17 or 18)and have partnered with them in the past for a couple of projects - All I can say is, they know way too much more than me :)

The point of the above statement is, you’ve got to have the “adventurous” spirit of the teenage webpreneurs - they don’t afraid of the Internet. Instead, they capitalise it.

Sure, you can say, “Well, they are born when the Internet is already a common thing in our lives - So, entering the make money online arena is not that difficult for them.” My answer to your statement: Yes, they were born in a time that Internet, iPod, blogging and other tech/Internet-related concepts, products and services are common. But, in my opinion, what differ you from them is passion and an eye for opportunity. If they can do online business part-time after school, why can’t you do just the same after your day job or business activities?

How to Negotiate with Telemarketing Companies

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

telemarketingTelemarketing generates over 100 billion in yearly sales in all different industries and according to the DMA, over 66 million men and women buy products and services from telemarketers. Even if you are just starting out with your business, telemarketing can help you gather the information you need to get started or grow your business.

 

One type of telemarketing, inbound calling, involves a team of people to receive calls. If you set up an ecommerce site, but also provide the option of your customers to purchase products via phone, this type of call center is what you need. An outbound call center is when representatives call potential customers or partners. If you want to solicit information, generate sales leads, or conduct a survey, this is the type you need.

 

If your business is at the point where you need to implement a push strategy, a call center might be a good place to start, depending on the costs that is.

 

  • Flat service. If you want just a basic team of representatives to call prospective customers and you provide a script and list to the company, the costs will be pretty straight-forward. Typically, telemarketing companies charge an hourly rate, or per-call charge. If your list is small see if you can be charged per-call. Get a detailed quote with rates included and see if there is a minimum rate as well.
  • Additional services. If you want more from the company (tracking reports, 800 number call-in, etc.), you will be able to negotiate costs by “bundling” a package. Reports are good because they show you if your specific campaign is working and provide you with a benchmark for future campaigns. An 800 number is good for the representatives to be able to leave a message. If you don’t have an 800 number for your business, the telemarketing company should be able to provide you with one.
  • Laws and regulations. If you do not have a list to use, you can purchase one. The telemarketing company might provide a list, or work with a mailing list company to provide you with a list that is suitable for your business. The company will not be able to call any numbers from the Do Not Call list. Make sure that the company is compliant with current US laws governing telemarketing- otherwise you may be responsible for penalties associated with breaking these rules.
  • Branding. You won’t be able to negotiate first impressions with your customers once they have them so make sure you work with the company to deliver the best “first impression” for your business. You might have to write the phone script and provide guidelines for the telemarketers (when to leave a message, how many times to try each customer, how long to stay on the phone) to follow. It may seem like more up-front work for you as a business owner and it oftentimes is. You’ll save time and money doing the phone call legwork while upholding your image.
  • Specialized agents. If you want to use an inbound call center for customer or technical support, expect to pay more for these dedicated agents. Sales, lead generation, order processing, and other functions can all be specifically negotiated, which usually ends up costing less overall.
