Sales Management Myths: Entrepreneurial Salesperson
I just had a phone conversation with a client who had a familiar story to tell. He had built his business on the model of an entrepreneurial sales force. Give them a territory, pay them straight commission, and tell them they are in business for themselves, free to develop the customers they chose with the products they wanted.And for a couple decades it had worked well. The business grew and expanded. More entrepreneurial sales people were added, and the model was duplicated over and over again.So far so good. But then the growth in sales began to slow down. Three flat or declining years

As a new CPA on the block, about eight years ago, I had made it a practice to read as much as possible on practice management along with the regular reading I had to do keep up with the technical matters. I came across articles after articles about how it was possible for CPAs to operate in an almost paperless office. It was, however, quite difficult for me to imagine my own office being a paperless office.

“How could a CPA really operate a practice without papers?” I would wonder all the time. I thought of these talks about paperless offices as being something of a creation of imagination about how life would be in 2035 when I may not be there.

The technology that I was using in my office was helping me improve the production. It was also helping me learn some of the more advanced possibilities in my system. In my small practice, it was a simple client-server network with a T1 internet connection. It was during one of my overseas trips about four years ago, that I discovered the power of my system to its best. With the T1 connection and a static IP address, I was able to work on my office system from over 10,000 miles away without any problems. This was a wonderful experience and my desire to learn more about the paperless office became extremely strong at this point.

Benefits of Maintaining a Career Portfolio
Have you ever tried to contact a past employer only to discover they are no longer in existence or your former manager has moved on and been replaced by someone else? Of course, if you are an avid networker this shouldn’t be much of a problem when it comes time to provide proof of your experience, education and accomplishments. A portfolio of your career should be developed and maintained using all documentation of your career history in order to overcome any problems that could arise in proving any aspects of your career. It should also include your most up-to-date resume which will be based on the co

office. It was, however, quite difficult for me to imagine my own office being a paperless office.

BJ's Wholesale Club: An Industry Success Story
In the 1980s a phenomenon began to take hold in the retail industry: wholesale [or warehouse] clubs. These 'big box' retailers are dotting the American landscape and offer something beyond what the typical Wal-Mart, Target, or Kmart have: large packaged items at nicely discounted prices. Currently, Costco's, Sam's Club, and BJs dominate the market. Recently, my family joined BJ's and I will share with you why I think their business is a success story.When we moved to the Raleigh, North Carolina area from New Jersey in 2004, we knew that the retail market -- including supermarkets and discount st

Ponzi, Pyramids and MLM's
What’s the difference you ask? Well, plenty!Your basic pyramid scheme ( which Charles Ponzi perfected in 1920’s Boston) is just that…a scheme—one to get your money out of your pocket and into someone else’s. An elaborate swindle, and sadly one that is still alive and well today.One unfortunate casualty of this type of “crookery” is the legitimate business that markets its products using Multi-Level Marketing. Other names are “network marketing” or just “networking.” Because they look similar to pyramid / Ponzi schemes, they are often dismissed as such out of hand. So, how can you tell th

Corrugated Boxes - Certification Seal
Did you ever notice that circle on the bottom of corrugated boxes? That's the box certification. It includes:* the name of the manufacturer of the carton (outside ring)* whether the box is SINGLEWALL or DOUBLEWALL (one layer of corrugate or two)* the type of test the box has undergone to test its strength (edge crush or bursting)* weight it can withstand per square inch* the maximum size of the box (length x width x height)* gross weight limit (maximum weight you can safely load into the carton)In general, there is a distinction between shipping boxes an

I spent a lot of time, powered by my strong desire, to learn on the ways I could possibly convert my CPA practice into a paperless practice. I had already enjoyed the pleasure of working on my office system from around the world. I thought that if I could only access all the other papers I needed to look at while working on a client’s file I would not even need to be in the office at all to work. Besides enjoying the frustrations of continuous interruptions, accessing papers was the only remaining reason for me to be in the office. Sure there were other reasons, but to carry out my work for a client, accessing papers was the only one.

Now that my desire was so strong, I started running into various pre-packaged solutions advertised in the direct mail and magazine advertisements. I checked out a few, called a few 800 numbers and received some promotion materials. All turned out to be beyond my budget. I had learned a lot about the potentials of my simple office network by now, and figured out that I was too poor to afford some of the good pre-packaged solutions available out there for CPAs.

Upon a thorough study of the technology in my office and the hardware available in the market at affordable costs, I came to an unbelievable conclusion. It was unbelievable because based on my calculations the cost of converting to a paperless office was going to be 5 or 10% of what it would cost me to go with a pre-packaged solution. This happened within one year of my
