now its time for you to sweat and squirm

probably the most enjoyable time our trainers, have during the training program, is on the last day of training. its when we all get to watch the trainees, sweat and squirm. after the training has been completed, we give everyone a test, most people think that its a test of their intelligence, or memory, and that they have to pass, when in actual fact the test,is for analysing the training program ,to see what changes have to be done,making it easier ,and more enjoyable.

placing a magazine ad

if a full page color ad in macleans magazine costs tens of thousands of dollars,you may wonder why small businesses should even bother considering magazine advertising. the reason is that thousands of small circulation and more affordable magazines exist. plus many of the best known magazines print regional or even city editions in which you can place an ad for a fraction  of the full editiion price.
most small businesses limit their magazine ads to publications that serve particular business or interest groups,or especially in the case of those in the travel industry to city or regional travel magazines. review the magazines that serve your industry or your target market. a good reference is the canadian advertising rates and data (card) advertising sourcebook. which is available at most libraries.

what about microblogging

what about it?

microblog sites allow members to make lots of short,less than 140 characters,blog posts,microblogs are fast easy and can be updated from a cellphone,computer or even via voice mail.
microblogs look and feel more like old fashioned chat rooms than blogs people post statements,which are visible in common public timeline which everyone can see and read.  you might think that microblogging is like a social network,but microblogs tend to be more real time,with some people posting every few minutes. so they allow for more of an ongoing conversation. most important, people will follow other microbloggers whom they find interesting. microblogging is a great way to build a focused audience to which you can pose questions ,make suggestions or announce a new blog post.

getting paid

often you won't get paid until after you do the work or deliver your goods. but that doesn't mean that you should put off thinking about payment until then. in fact you must lay the groundwork at the time you and your customer make your deal.

planning to get paid

the best way to make sure that you get paid is to avoid situations in which you risk not getting paid. here's how to avoid these problems.

.turn customers away if you can't do the job or you know they'll have trouble paying
.make sure your agreements are fair to your customers
.get paid up front if you can
.don't be sneaky when you bill customers
.don't extend credit automatically
.protect yourself if you do extend credit
.do what you promised to do

keeping your customers happy

keeping your customers happy

after you enter into a contract with a customer, make it a point to follow what is in the contract, what ever you said you can do ,make sure that you are able to do it. In our training program, we stress this point. our company was based and founded on principles, and honesty. we only want dealers who believe in this concept. just doing the work isn't enough if you want to be paid promptly and get repeat business and referrals from your customers. you must also keep an eye on customer service

.don't make promises you can't keep
.keep the promises you make
.document all changes
.communicate
.if you make a mistake or miss a deadline ,deal with it

run your business so it doesn't run you

run your business so it doesn't run you

running your business can be rewarding,exciting and fun. but it can be trying,problematic and frustrating. that's why its important to stay clear focused and on top of things. small businesses are growing. it used to be that you got a job with a company and stayed with that company your whole working life. the truth is that the modern business environment does not allow this same practise. big business offers little job security,more and more people are starting their own business. people start their own business because they want the freedom to be their own boss. call their own shots,make their own mistakes, and control their own destiny. do you know the difference between an owner and a worker? taking the leap from working in a business to managing and leading one is a much longer leap than most people imagine. they rent an office,hang out their shingle,hire an employee or two and they are off  and running,and running,and running. until one day they wake up exhausted,working for wages,and questioning their decision to start this business Of the thousands of businesses  that start each year close to half will not survive their first 6 years,mostly it is because the new owners don't know how to run a business. education and training rarely accompany the decision to move from employee to owner,you have to think like an owner,do not be like one of the boys. you have to make all of your decisions based on what is best for the company. don't try to do everything yourself. you need to find competent people who you can delegate responsibilities to. when you were an employee your day ended after 8 hours,as an owner you day is just beginning. as an owner you often need a more objective bottom line approach. some distance is needed. you are the boss think and act like it. some things you need to stay on top of

.establish your company.s mission and direction
.creating your annual strategic plan
.effectively communicating the company mission and plan to all employees
.developing and monitoring your annual budget.
.reviewing your financial information on a regular basis
.approving and making your capital expenditures
.determining personal needs to accomplish your plan
.making sure personnel is available to accomplish your plan
.creating personnel policies and benefit plans
.assuring the adequacy of resources to achieve your plan
.determining and implementing your marketing plan
.assuring there is adequate work to meet company needs
.staying abreast of industry trends and issues
.participating in industry associations
.promoting the company to the community
.providing motivation and leadership to your employees.

and make sure you have a proper balance between your business life and your personal life, spend time with family and friends. and as equally important maintain your health,and get plenty of rest, you need to make clear decisions.

pricing your product or service

as part of your training you will learn how to price your services to  various customers. you can make a profit in different ways for ex by combining a small profit on each item or in our case you can group both the garage makeover service,and the kitchen restoration service together, giving your customers savings on both services ,and allowing you to generate a good profit margin. or you can combine a small profit on each item or service provided with high sales volume,or by combining a low sales volume with a big profit on each sale.  best of course is high profit on each sale.if you underprice,you'll lose money on every sale even if you sell a gazillion jobs. if you overprice no one will buy at all. how do you figure this whole thing out............
..........we'll teach you at our training program.

social media advertising

SOCIAL MEDIA ADVERTISING

what is social media advertising anyways?  since social media is such an important concept.....social media provide the way people share ideas,content,thoughts,and relationships online. social media differ from so called mainstream media in that anyone can create, comment on ,and add to social media content., social media can take the form of text,audio, video,images and communities. the best way to think about social media is not in terms of the different technologies and tools but rather how those technologies and tools allow you to communicate directly with your buyers in places they are congregating right now. just as a point of clarification note that these are two terms that sound similar social media and social networking. social media is the superset and is how we refer to the various media that people use to communicate online in a social way. social media include blogs,wikis,video,phone sharing, and much much more. a subset of social media is social networking,a term used to refer to how people interact on sites like facebook twitter linkedin,my space and similar sites. social networking occurs when people create a personal profile and interest to become part of community of friends and like minded people and to share information on sites such as ......

avoiding a difficult business start up

while you're searching for a business with lots of advantages you also have to avoid a business with too many disadvantages. stay away from a business that will be immediately overwhelmed by the existing competition if the field is competitive look for a niche where you have a competitive advantage, such as our garage makeover service combined with our one day kitchen cabinet restoration service, and our on going support,give you a serious advantage.you also don't want a business that will be overwhelmed by regulation from  federal,provincial or municipal govts. or by the governing body of a professional or skilled trade. you also want to avoid a business that has large insurance costs, and low profit margins. also a very important thing to watch out for is a massive cost for start up. jb international has waived all franchise fees, and the only  start up costs are for training, and any govt licenses. you have the option of working full time or part time the choice is yours.

email marketing

email campaign.  design and deliver targeted email marketing using email as a advertising tool is a great way to assist you with your campaign. we have found one of the best software programs is "email campaign". the program helps you create,schedule,and send powerful messages build and manage your contact list and manage bounced emails. design simple or complex marketing messages verify active and dead email addresses. you can adjust flexible send options according to what your service provider will allow. basically how many emails can be sent at one time. turn basic messages into full color promotional online brochures by including graphics and adjusting the fonts and colors of each message you send to your contacts. your contact list can be your previous customers or a email list purchased from companies that provide such lists................................................................................

so you're thinking about starting your own business

so you're thinking about starting your own business. every year lots of people get the entrepreneurial urge and start businesses. some of those businesses become very successful. but every year lots of new businesses fail. business success or failure isn't the result of fate,or random chance,or acts of god. a business does well for good reason-like great products or services like our unique kitchen cabinet restoration service or our garage makeover service (combined there is no competition). a solid marketing plan,and the owners good management skills and lots of help from our support staff.  likewise when a business goes under,you can often identify the reasons lack of money,to get properly started,poor timing, no outside help, location,lack of interest, no commitment, to lazy, whatever the reason for a business failure, it usually boils down to this. the business owner didn't look carefully before deciding on a good business venture or idea.

setting your money goal and attaining it

money versus personal life. by now you've decided that you need to by your own boss in other words to be independent. to be independent you need to make a certain amount of money. you need to reach your money goal as fast as possible.that approach to making money is the only way you can get the money you want to do the things you want to do before you are too old,or too tired. making money is not a mysterious awesome secret meant only for a chosen few. actually making money is just about the easiest thing to do in this world provided you have a money goal,skills,knowledge,and the drive to get what you want out of life. the big need is money. a certain amount of money within a certain period of time - as soon as possible. you have to decide what you want from life,some people like to work long hours,even when successful,because they truly enjoy,their work. while others like to have more social time with family and friends. no one is asking you to spend 24 hours a day at the job and you don't have to in order be become successful. almost anyone can start a business and run it with modest success,provided the business does not overtax his or her abilities to fulfill your personal needs,you should make sure that you take care of all your life's responsibilities and yet leave enough creative energy to reach your financial goal. in other words break life's needs down and handle them in order of their importance. you should allot a sensible portion of the day to your leisure as relaxation ultimately helps you to work harder. also you should be sure to get enough sleep otherwise you'll be too tired to work. without good health you can't do anything. furthermore you do have your family to think about. don't neglect them.

attaining your financial goal.

you should write down the financial goal that you would like to attain. at the end of a five year period,when your business is firmly established and you can afford to relax,a bit. next list the amounts of money that you need just to get by. a great number of people never succeed in becoming independent,simply because they are afraid of failure. some people strange to say are even afraid of success..........................

choosing a company name

choosing a company name.

when you return home ,one of the first items on your itinerary should be to choose a company name. each canadian province and territory has a govt service centre that will provide you with all the information needed to start and register a business. each govt web site will have important information that will help you

.who should use this service
.why do i need approval for my company name
.how much does it cost
.does the approval of my company name mean no one else can use it
.how long does it take
.what is the process
.what if my company name is not approved
.how long will the name be reserved for
.what are the next steps after my name is reserved.

typically the procedure for requesting a company name is a simple process. you decide on 3 choices for your company name. the name must contain
.1 a distinctive element
.2 a descriptive element
.3 a corporate designation

example  jb international distribution ltd.  jb international is the distinctive element which is the name of the company.
distribution is the descriptive element
this says what the company is or category its in
ltd  is the corporate designation
ltd is a limited company,or it can be just a sole proprietorship or a partnership,
 once you have three names ,each provincial govt web site has a name search tool. this tool is extremely helpful in determining if your name request is available. if the results indicate that the name is available,the next step involves filling in a name request form, with a payment which is very small. when the approval comes back from the govt,you can proceed with the next step. registering the name..........

how to get money

you have decided to take the plunge and start your own business. however you need money and you don't have any. naturally as with most people you ask yourself,how  much money do i have to invest . that is the wrong approach. what you should be asking is where can i rent money,at reasonable rates of interest that will allow me to expand,pay back the loan and still make a profit. now the first thing to get clear in your mind is that you should never think in terms of borrowing money,because the very word borrowing is bad for morale,it could create  a feeling of inferiority. for too many people the word borrowing leaves a bad taste in the mouth. why should a self made business person harbour a sense of failure,just because you know it is necessary to use somebody else's money rather than your own. so why feel bad about renting money especially when you rent only from people who need your business. firms such as banks,credit unions,finance companies, and other money rental operations need your business in order to exist. renting money is a sound and recognized way to do business. therefore starting now get used to the idea and rent money the same way you rent a car,boat or summer cottage. money is just another commodity so use the money rental system to become fianancially independent. your should rent money only when you have a definite and sound money making plan where you can use some other persons cash to build up your business lets get started in the game of rentiing money for yourself,and your business. lets get started in the game of renting money to make money for yourself.

obtain money from.............

.personal sources
.banks
.institutional term lenders
.credit unions
