    Prospecting New Sales Leads Made Easy
    Anyone that is in sales has had to, at one point or another, prospect for new customers. If you are one of the lucky ones the company you work for provides leads for you directly in to some kind of a CRM solution. For a while I was one of the lucky ones. Our website was generating about 15 new leads per day and these leads magically appeared in our homegrown CRM. But easy lead distribution, like all things, cam

    Loans - Curse or Blessing?
    Tapping Into OPM OPM is the abbreviation for Other People’s Money. It is generally used to indicate the investment of other people’s capital in your business, for a share of the profit. But if you reduce the stakes a bit, a bank loan is exactly the same thing. They “invest” in your business by giving you some cash, and their “share” of your profit is the interest they charge you.

    When conducting a background check on the Internet, or by any other means, you should always keep in mind your particular reasons for doing a background check.

    Here are five reasons why most companies or individuals conduct background checks:

    1. Negligent Hiring - in recent years, companies are being held liable in negligent hiring cases for not completing thorough background investigations. Companies and individuals have to face up to the fact that it is not only about what they know about a person, but also about what they should have known about a person. There is simply no way to avoid this. Not doing a thorough background check is as dangerous a practice as not having insurance. Doing criminal background checks alerts you to potentially dangerous job applicants or tenants (if you are a landlord). It is estimated that the average cost is $150,000 per incident.

    2. False Skill or Training Claims - anyone you have hired, or are looking to hire, who falsely claims previous training, experience or education, is becoming a major problem for businesses and individuals. A recent study has found that 53% of applications contain falsehoods. Not doing background checks in this situation results in hiring incompetent, or even worse, dangerous people. Not finding false information on applications can also lead to high turnover, loss of business, loss of productivity and high liability exposure. By doing a thorough investigation, these risks can be limited. The average estimated cost is $32,000 per incident.

    3. Workplace Violence - On-the-job violence has become a major problem. Homicide is now the #2 cause of death in the workplace. Not only is there a human cost, there is the cost of business disruption. Very often traumatic incidents can lead to firings. The cost of rehiring and training and possible expensive litigation is also a factor. The average estimated cost is $1 million per incident.

    The American Demand for Office Furniture and Trends
    The American office furniture industry performed very well throughout the 1990s as the domestic economy has shifted from being manufacturing driven to one where services play an increasingly important role.However, the new millennium has been less fortunate for office furniture manufacturers. Between 2000 and 2003, office furniture shipments in the United States fell by more than one-third. This was the larg

    Describing Intellectual Property in Your Business Plan
    Most companies that are worthy of raising venture capital have proprietary Intellectual Property (IP). In fact, the quality of the IP and the management team are often the two most important aspects of a venture capitalist’s investment decision. The challenge that many ventures face, however, is that most investors will not sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and NDAs are critical to maintaining the proprietary

    The Viral Marketing Misconception
    There are several people who are confused as to what viral marketing is and what it actually means. I think this misconception is because of the people who masquerade themselves as gurus and promised to show you what it is for a hefty charge.Viral marketing is simply the most powerful form of advertising on the web. How many of you received the email? That Bill Gates will pay you for the amount of times you

    The Belize Offshore Company
    Belize became a British Crown Colony in 1862 and became independent in 1981. Belize is now a parliamentary democracy. The government of Belize is fully committed to the ongoing development of Belize as a leading offshore jurisdiction for the incorporation of offshore companies.

    5. Lawsuits & False Claims - it seems in our world today there are individuals who are always looking to take advantage of businesses. These individuals use nuisance, trumped up, or even fraudulent insurance and Workmen's Comp. claims for initiating lawsuits. The dollar cost is staggering, with increased insurance premiums not to mention the cost of legal counsel. With just a few simple background checks (including criminal, civil, Workmen's Comp. histories) you can dramatically reduce your risk. By spending just a few dollars you can save yourself thousands. The average estimated cost is $7,500 per incident.

    Protect yourself, the ones you love and your assets. The price is very small considering what the consequences might be if you don’t take the time to do a background check!
