Luis Luarca asked:


Business management refers to one’s ability to manage a business effectively and efficiently while retaining profitability. But what does that mean? Anyone can ‘manage’ a business, right?

But do we really know how to manage a business? And if we do, what does that entail? Do you just run around your company telling people what to do or run to the bank and make deposits at the end of the each week? Is that business management?

If that is all it takes to run a business, why isn’t everyone a business owner? If managing a business is so easy, why are there consultants? Simple answer: business management is more daunting a task than we may think.

I have always said that no matter how large or small a company is, it is an overwhelming task to manage the everyday issues. We could all use a little bit of help.

Traditional business management, which is what I have studied and is the methodology I use when discussing business issues with clients, takes into account all aspects of running a business, large or small.

Whether it is a million-dollar company or a billion-dollar company, all companies run the same.

Traditional business management is pretty much self-explanatory; it is managing business through traditional methods that have been used for many years.

Those traditional methods incorporate three aspects: sales and marketing strategies, efficient operation and productions methods, and finance and accounting (SG&A). I believe all business owners should have some understanding of these areas of business and try to manage them as best they can. Most large companies focus on these areas in that they have the resources to pay employees who specialize in these particular areas.

For example, consider some of the largest companies in the United States like Home Depot, Starbucks and Dell. These companies require precise and expert management of their business operations at all times while maintaining a positive financial position for investors. These businesses pay full-time employees to function in the company in particular capacities.

When we look at small businesses in the United States, we have to ask, “Do small businesses have the financial resources to pay for similar resources such as a chief financial officer, or a qualified VP of Sales”? Quick answer: no! Actually, no is the only answer.

When we look at larger companies and how they manage their sales and marketing efforts, we find that larger companies have the financial resources to hire employees on a full-time basis who are experts in sales and marketing.

We can say the same for the third aspect of traditional business management, operations and productions. Once again, large businesses have the revenue available to have full-time positions for a general manager, a production manager, and sometimes, a Vice-President of Operations.

Again, small businesses rarely have the opportunity to pay experts full-time salaries, which could cost a business thousands of dollars annually.

So, now we know that traditional business requires the expertise of individuals in particular areas, such as finance, marketing, sales, production, operations, and management.

As a small business owner, can you pay the full-time wages of each of these employees? Do you have to hire all these employees in order for you to spend less time in the office worrying about business issues?

I have seen many million-dollar companies and I have seen a few billion-dollar companies; the only difference is that one pays for expert full-time employees and the other doesn’t. Obviously, the larger companies have the money to pay for expert employees, and small businesses don’t.

So how does the small business owner learn the basics of business management without paying for an MBA or spending thousands of dollars in annual salaries for experts?

Recently traditional business management had to make room for a new aspect of business: technology.

Through the years traditional business management has had to marry its strategies with the proliferation of technology where every business owner from Starbuck’s to Jim’s Auto has had to incorporate technology into its everyday operations.

The problem is that business believed that technology was going to be the solution for every problem, but it wasn’t until recently that business management thinkers realized that technology will fail if it is not implemented properly. That is, traditional business management must seamlessly marry itself with technology.

So, now you have this traditional business model to think of, and you also have to think that the model has incorporated technology. You see, managing a business is not as easy as it sounds. When you look at this business model I know for sure that you have never looked at your business in this way before. Believe it or not, graduate schools teach this stuff and larger companies obviously have the money to pay someone to think of this stuff, but what about the small business owner?

Small business owners do not have the financial resources to pay for this thinking and consulting companies for some reason; do not necessarily speak to the small business owner. Why not? Most consulting companies are always looking to fry the “big fish”, the 1% of businesses in the United States that can afford the phenomenal fees they charge.

Larger consulting companies do not have the time or the desire to speak to small businesses, nor will they change their fees which range over $400.00 per hour.

One of the comments I hear often in small businesses is, “Great idea, I wish I could get my people to do that, but I can’t expect them to change their ways.” I say, “You’d better get them to change their ways or you could be out of a job”!

Oddly enough, small business owners are reluctant if not skeptical in getting help for their business. To this day, I have yet to figure that one out. Why don’t small business owners look for help?

I firmly believe that business is business regardless of the size of the company, the annual revenues, or the number of employees. Keep in mind that the largest businesses in the world were once small businesses and today they are worth a great deal of money. All businesses “managed” their way to the top, regardless of the industry.

I have seen numerous multi-million dollar businesses in every industry, to include contractors, restaurants, service companies, and manufacturing companies. And I have also worked for companies that are worth billions and billions of dollars. They all have one thing in common: They all run the same some just have more revenue than the other.

I have always said that no matter what you produce to sell, HOW you produce it is what is of paramount importance to the growth of your business.



Your business is not too small or too large for a review of its current business processes. I have not met a business owner, a president or CEO of a company who can tell me that their business is running so smoothly that they don’t need to change. That is simply not true.

The natural stirring of the U.S. economy is what causes the need for change in all businesses of all sizes and I guarantee that if you are not constantly rethinking your business strategies, your competition is.

Can you say that your business is flexible enough to manage your competition and stay ahead of the curve, or that your business can handle the daily economic fluctuations in the U.S.?



Ask yourself some of the following questions.

1.Have your total revenues gone up or down from last year?

2.Has your profitability gone up or down from last year?

3.Where is the next dollar coming from?

4.Are you tired of going to work?

5.Do you have adequate inventory levels?

6.How many employees report to you on a daily basis?

7.Do your employees actually do what you ask and expect of them?

8.Do you have a management team in place?

9.Is there business expenses you wish you didn’t have?

10.Does every employee in your company have a specific job function that justifies their labor burden?

11.Do you remember when owning your business was fun for you and your family?

12.Do you believe your company operates as smoothly and efficiently as it could?

13.Do you have a long-range plan?

14.Do your employees share your vision of the business?

15.Who do your employees go to when there is a problem?

16.If you actually met me, would you be able to tell me that your business doesn’t need to change, or that it is truly profitable?

If you are ready to move your business forward, get some help. Believe it not, the success of your business is important to this great Nation.

Candy Ross asked:


Would you ask an unsuccessful person how to become more successful? Or ask a friend with a run-down car what the best vehicle is on the market? I would think not.

So, it is suffice to say that you shouldn’t ask a fellow retailer who is struggling with their business technology where to get software technology from. In more cases than one, you’ll find they got software that didn’t suit their needs, and have a retail service provider who isn’t helping them succeed.

Having the right technology is one thing. Having a good retail technology partner who knows retail and backed by an excellent support team is quite another. These two things go hand-in-glove.

These service providers, or “Value-added Resellers” (VARS), are a key factor to helping a retailer boost efficiencies and increase profits. They will help a retailer make the right business decisions on technology and ensure that the technology they chose fits their business needs.

A retail technology partner should know retail, not just retail technology. When choosing a VAR, look for these key factors:

* Retail experts able to consult with you about your needs and who help you with making the right technology choice.

* Retail sales consultants who provide the best technology tools to help you in running your business.

* Knowledgeable and highly experienced technical support staff.

* Support staff who are quick to respond and always available when you need them.

* Tailored support plans to get the most out of the system.

* Technicians with the ability to customize the system to fit your needs, handling everything from seamless installation and conversion to project management.

* Retail consultants that help train your employees on a new system and provide on-going training and education.

A home furnishing and gift store in Mesa, California turned to a VAR to help them with their choice in a retail point of sale system. The store Fleur De Lys partnered with One Step Data. The company installed Retail Pro® as the best choice for the store and, since the installation, owners Shannon Ritter and Josephine Pfeiffer have maintained a proactive relationship with One Step Data. “We are always getting information regarding new products and system information,” says Ritter. “I certainly don’t feel we’ve been abandoned since our purchase. It’s like having a corporate Help Desk or IT department.”

Having expert help makes a big difference for retailers. Who else can they turn to if they don’t have knowledgeable experts who know retail?

“Technology is an important tool for business, especially for retailers,” says Scott Kreisberg, owner of One Step Data. “The market has exploded with literally thousands of companies offering different technology solutions. But not all companies are alike.”

Kreisberg’s company has been helping retailers with their business and point of sale systems for over 20 years. His confidence in his company being able to offer the right solution to retailers comes from having the best products at their disposal, and over two decades of experience and knowledge implementing technology in retail businesses.

“We have become the central nervous system of our customers,” claims Kreisberg, “and are constantly working on ways to help them improve their store operations.”

Retailers should contact a VAR to meet with them personally and determine whether or not that reseller fully understands retail, not just retail technology. The VAR should be able to find a solution that fits with the way the retailer does business and work with them every step of the way to help them achieve their goals.

Paul McIndoe asked:


Information technology lies at the heart of many 21st century organisations and businesses – phone lines are a basic commodity and for almost all sectors of commerce, the internet continues to prove to be a key tool.

Technology can also make it easier to run your business cost-effectively. Improving cash-flow is an obvious area that all companies strive to achieve and with the right IT support in place, it is possible to watch your cost-efficiency grow along with the business itself.

Flexible working for employees is just one of many ways to benefit your business. Technology makes services such as remote access possible, which means employees can work from home or when they’re on the move.

But, when it comes to broadband you might want to consider whether you can manage with a usage allowance or whether you would prefer unlimited downloads. Usage allowances vary depending on which provider you choose and you can match one to your specific needs. Unlimited download usage is ideal if you want to share the connection around the office; therefore, opt for whichever suits you best and remember to account for any potential growth that could occur in the future.

What’s more, some providers offer packages which include Wi-Fi minutes, allowing even the most mobile of workers to access their emails when out of the office. Mobile broadband is another useful feature to consider, as this allows employees to access the internet from their laptop wherever there’s mobile coverage – there’s never been so many ways to stay connected.

Telephone lines can be combined with broadband in order to cut costs and the packages available range from standard lines to more sophisticated services. Indeed, features such as call waiting and diversion mean you need never miss another call again, whilst you can even access features that allow you to listen to your messages from any phone. Therefore, you can easily keep up to speed with what’s going on even when you’re on the move.

And to ensure your IT infrastructure runs effectively, it is important that you have the necessary business IT support available. Of course, the level of support offered will vary between providers, but most should offer round the clock UK based helpdesk support; meaning you have access to IT experts whenever you need them the most.

Other support services to look out for include internet and desktop security, which can help keep harmful viruses at bay. But more importantly, remote IT support can eradicate the need to call out an engineer, thus helping to push costs down further. And this can only be a good thing when you are attempting to manage a small business.

SEOguru Technologies asked:


Staying at the top does matter…

You have hired a SEO company, they optimized your site, your site got a good rank at the search engines, and you are getting increased traffic to your site, but then what? Have you ever considered that the search engine rank that you are holding now, was previously held by another site? So, it is quite likely that your site will be eventually replaced by another site in course of time. It is a natural process. But this is something that you wouldn’t like to happen to you. After all what is more important than getting at the top is to stay at the top. If you want to benefit from staying at the top result pages of the search engines, you need to continuously work on the SEO front.

Keep pace with the Search Engines…

Apart from the natural degradation of the search engine ranking, there is another factor that radically changes the search engine results. Search Engines rank the websites based on some specific criteria that are unique to search engines. These parameters are called search engine algorithm and this is not a constant thing. From time to time search engines make changes to these parameters and whenever this type of changes are made, there is a radical change in the search engine ranking. To overcome this problem, you need to hire a professional SEO company, who will keep a watchful eye on the recent trends of the search engines and do regular changes to sustain the search engine rank.

Marketing is a continuous process…

If you want to make profit from your online venture, staying alive in the mind of your customers is very important. A top rank at the search engine will take your business to potential customers. When your site stays at the top rank, you get repeat customers and that is crucial to make a long lasting relationship with them. It will effectively increase traffic your site and build brand equity for your business. To do that you need to keep the rank of your website constant and without a continuous SEO process you can never attain that steady rank at the search engines.

Stay ahead of time…

There is no doubt that the business practices are fast changing throughout the world and when it comes to online business or e-commerce the rate of change is faster. It is therefore, important to keep yourself up to date with the changing time. This is also true for your SEO campaign, you need to keep a watchful eye in the changing practices of the online businesses and search engine trends. Therefore, it is important that you get year round SEO solution to keep your website at par with the industry.

Growth is the ultimate success mantra for any business…

Who knows this better than you? In today’s business, either your grow or you vanish. You need to keep on thinking about new avenues, new products and new services. Even if, you cannot launch an all-new product, putting the old wine in the new bottle is very important. Repackaging and making changes in the ways you present yourself, need to be changed and search engine optimization is the best tool you have got to let your customers know that you are growing, you are changing and most importantly, you always have something new to offer. With one time SEO campaign you are surely not going to benefit in this regard, you need a continuous SEO process to support your growth initiatives.

Joshua Feinberg asked:


Many technology professionals starting their own businesses underestimate the sheer power of computer business names as a marketing tool for more easily selling IT services to steady, high-paying clients. Choosing the right name for your company can be challenging and must be well thought out before you open for business.

There are many factors to consider as you are thinking through computer business names. To target the best, steady high-paying clients, your marketing materials and branding must communicate exactly what you do to solve small business technology problems.

Use the following 4 tips to decide on an appropriate computer business name that showcases your unique value proposition and target client base.

1. Think About Your Specialty and Niche Market. Do you have a specialty? Perhaps you are an expert at accounting or medical software. If so, you can use this specialized knowledge to your advantage when building your company\’s identity. Also think about how your specialty relates to any niche market. Your proficiency with accounting software or experience working with accountants in a previous job might lead to you marketing yourself as an expert in that particular industry. If you choose a specialty and niche, make sure your name reflects this to attract the clients that will most benefit from your services. For example, you can add the term “accounting solutions” or a similar phrase to your computer business name.

2. Consider Your Location. Often your location can be a real benefit to prospects, customers and clients. When you are geographically close to your small business clients, they know they can count on you for important benefits such as faster response time, service guarantees, and a more competitive rate structure. As you are thinking through computer business names, seriously consider adding location to better communicate your identity and the strength of your services. This also helps to pre-qualify your potential clients. As an example, computer business names such as “[Your City or Your Region] Technology Solutions” will let your prospects know more about you and who you serve than simply “Technology Solutions.”

3. Keep Your Computer Business Name Short and Descriptive. When you are thinking about names, remember to make your company name short and descriptive. To get maximum impact with marketing materials and make yourself memorable to prospects, you should choose a name that can be easily made into a domain name for your Web site and become part of your e-mail address. That way when prospects are trying to get in touch they only have one thing to remember.

4. Make Sure Your Computer Business Name is Unique… At Least Locally! In most cases, a simple fictitious name search for similarly- or identically-named business entities or DBA\’s in your city, county, or state/province is adequate. However to truly cover all bases, or if you have national (or even global) aspirations, consult with a qualified legal expert on trademarks and servicemarks. This will usually be an intellectual property attorney or solicitor.

Traditional business management has had to make room for a new facet of business: technology. Through the years traditional business management has had to marry its strategies with the proliferation of technology where every business owner from Starbuck’s to Jim’s Auto has had to incorporate technology into its everyday operations.

The problem is that in the late nineties business believed technology was going to be the solution for every business problem, but it wasn’t until recently that business managers realized that technology will fail if not implemented properly. That is, traditional business management must seamlessly marry itself with technology.

Traditional business management is pretty self-explanatory; it’s managing business through traditional methods that have been used for many years. Traditional business management takes into account all aspects of running a business, large or small. Whether it is a million-dollar company or a billion-dollar company, all companies run the same. Those traditional methods incorporate three aspects of business: sales and marketing strategies, efficient operation and production methods, and manageable finances (SG&A). I believe all businesses should pay attention to these areas of business management.

So, now you have this traditional business model to think of, and you also have to think that the model has incorporated technology. You see, managing a business is not as easy as it sounds, and I know you have never looked at your business in this way before.

Believe it or not, graduate schools teach this stuff and larger companies obviously have the money to pay someone to think of this stuff. But most businesses do make the mistake in believing technology will solve all of their business problems. This is simply not true; technology cannot solve every business problem.

Many large corporations install and implement technology as quickly and arbitrarily as they would a new desk or a new lamp, not taking into consideration the stress new technology places on both business processes and human nature. Humans inherently do not like change, especially at the work place where they might feel as they might lose their job or were not consulted in helping determine which technology is best for their task or function.

Business processes do not like change either as the processes a business must go through to operate are much more complex than people might think. Most technology consultants want to “go live” with their implementation as soon as they can so they can share the praise of a successful launch. What most technology consultants don’t realize is that their eagerness to “sell” the job puts a business in a precarious operational bind.

It only makes sense to understand that as technology can be customized and most business processes cannot, basic technology implementations will hurt a business’ process as opposed to helping.

Some of the technology solutions out there can be very complex and some can be very simple. For example, I recently helped a client realize that developing a method of capturing labor time per phase of each of their projects allowed them to better understand and account for costs associated to labor and materials, per project. This allowed their sales team better cost data related to profit margins required per project. Initially the client was looking to spend money on purchasing one of those electronic card readers that each of his employees would have to swipe as they moved from station to station. We were able to solve his process issue at half the cost of that electronic clock by simply creating a custom process document from Microsoft Excel. The fact that the clock was not customizable would require the business processes to change just to accommodate the clock.

In this case we are trying to convey the importance of understanding your business and its processes before you move into technology. It is less expensive and less burdensome on your business processes. What we accomplished in the case above was that we were able to ‘tweak’ the business processes at will, where had we purchased the clock, we would have been forced to comply with what the clock required, not the business.

In the late nineties the hype of technology and the Internet fueled the belief that plugging technology into your business or developing your business around technology was the best way to run a business. A great example was WebVan and HomeGrocer.

These companies spent over a hundred-million venture capital dollars building the infrastructure that was going to give them the warehouse space to buy food products to fill all the customer orders that were to come via the Internet.

The mistake was that the company put all of its money into the assumption that its idea would work because the American grocery shopper was ready to buy groceries online via state-of-the-art technology. The orders never came.

Actually, the orders did come; the problem was that both companies were in so much debt because they couldn’t generate interests in their business model and they went out of business.

Today, the traditional grocery chains such as Albertson’s and Vons in the western U.S. have capitalized on earlier business models and realized their traditional way of doing business could was a great foundation to build their technology around their current processes.

I had the privilege of touring the WebVan warehouse in Oakland, California. It was impressive. If I remember correctly, it was an 80,000 square foot building equipped with a technologically advanced conveyer belt system worth millions of dollars. It looked like the inside of a United Parcel Service (UPS) warehouse, but much more expensive. For those who have never seen the inside of a UPS warehouse, it is just a bunch of conveyer belts.

Interestingly, about 50 people were milling around the WebVan warehouse; their main task was making sure the computers were pulling the right products and putting them on the conveyer belts. Great operation, but they ran out of money after just a little over a year.

So, what failed here, technology or money? Lack of money failed at WebVan, and lack of money fails almost every business that goes out of business. Lack of money fails business due to lack of business knowledge.

Business owners, make sure that you understand technology and that it can be customized and should be customized to meet your business process requirements. You can see the most successful implementation of technology in companies such as Wal-Mart and Toyota and we can see failures in technology such as WebVan.

We make sure we know how our business operates and what those operations require when making your businesses more efficient and effective. We look at understanding what your business requires before we recommend technology.

In the long run, you’ll spend less and profit more.

Paul Megan asked:


Internet business opportunities are exploding. But you better pay close attention. Lots of them are scams!

What’s an internet business scam? Well, basically it’s a business proposal that can’t deliver in spite of what it says. It can’t deliver income for you. It can’t deliver what it promises. It can’t deliver a moneymaking program you can trust.

But, how can you tell, just from reading about it on the internet, that you better be cautious before you commit? Actually there a 5 signals to watch out for. If any or all of these raise any flags in your thinking, better move on.

1. You’re promised to get rich quick. Sadly these offerings can be very persuasive. But the only one who makes any money off these is the guy selling the program!

2. No money back guarantee. Any honest internet business offering understands that it’s not going to work for everyone. You should be offered a money back guarantee with sufficient time to try it on for size (e.g. one month). If it’s not working for you within that timeframe you have the option of requesting a refund.

3. No effort required on your part. You know, there has been an explosion in advanced internet business technology in the past couple years. That means that more and more of the technical tasks of starting up an internet business are automated. This is great for you. But you still have to be willing to spend quality time building your business–especially on the marketing side.

4. You make money by signing up a downline. These pyramid-like programs are big on hype. You’re encouraged to sign up lots of affiliates who, in turn, are going to make money for you by signing up more affiliates. Problem is this scheme peters out fast because you’re not marketing hard products or services that can generate income for you.

5. The hyped-up language is almost too good to be true. That’s because it IS too good to be true. Nothing’s for free if you’re serious about making money. If you’re not willing to make a modest financial investment and commit some quality time to work the program, then save yourself some grief and get out while you’re ahead.

On the other hands, there are some fabulous, top-rated internet business programs that have verifiable success statistics that you can trust. Many of these take advantage of the amazing advances in internet programming technology.

That means you can benefit from “turnkey” programs where all the technology is figured out for you. You don’t have to spend hours configuring your computer to accommodate a moneymaking program. You can get up to speed and start earning income in a matter of minutes.

Business Local Listings asked:


Many companies have already realized the many benefits of business process outsourcing (BPO). With the current global economic crisis, these benefits have become even more apparent. Time, energy and resources need to be conserved at home in the First World. It would be much cheaper to outsource many tasks to countries in the Third World, like India, China and the Philippines. This will increase productivity and efficiency while cutting down on costs. Companies that outsource business services then become more flexible and nimble.

Outsourced services include manufacturing, software development, web development, finance, accounting, human resources and customer service, among others.

With business process outsourcing, a company does not have to invest in costly assets or set up expensive work structures that will have fixed costs. It will not have to purchase expensive equipment that may have to be amortized for many years and may even become outdated and outgrown with rapid technological advances.

Outsourced business processes are paid for per service. This means a company can immediately adjust to changes that may require more or less work and pay for only exactly what is needed. This flexibility greatly enhances resource management and frees up much capital.

A company that uses business process outsourcing is also able to focus more on its own core competencies. Once a company has identified its most valuable activities for its core business, other secondary activities and processes can be outsourced. The company can then concentrate its key people’s energies and talents on what they do best.

Business process outsourcing, thus, enables a company to expand without sacrificing its agility and speed in responding to changes and opportunities. The usual bottlenecks that arise in bureaucratic operations are eliminated. Expansion is also made possible when more capital is freed up.

One drawback to business process outsourcing may be dependence. A company may become too dependent to its BPO service provider. This will not pose much of a problem, though, because there are numerous service providers to choose from in case the current one fails to meet expectations. Most BPO vendors have similar capabilities in terms of the services they offer. Most also have similar rates.

Companies should, however, beware of unscrupulous BPO vendors who fail to meet service level agreements. Oftentimes, problems arise when there are unclear issues left in the contract or when there are unforeseen changes in requirements within the contract period. Much care must, therefore, be taken in choosing the right BPO service provider.
