More often than not there are repetitive processes that would be a great candidate for reusable packaging using plastic corrugated at just about any company.

    Use Your Hobbies to Gain Business
    At this point you are probably wondering where your own life fits into the picture. You have looked at joining organizations to meet others, found places to network, and even attended special events. There does not seem to be a limit on what you need to do to gain meaningful business relationships. Even hobbies and interests can be used to develop business relationships if you are willing to go that far. I do not believe that you can change what you like to do just so you can gain more business. If you have a passion for something like golf, then you should stick to it. You will meet others that have that same passion. I like to play tennis and cycle. Even though most of the people I meet do neithe

    Lessons From Cusano: Bringing Upward Mobility to Independent Cigar Makers
    Both cigar retailers and producers are basking in the warm sun of rising cigar sales. As stalwarts like Altadis, USA continue to report solid growth in their earnings, independent cigar makers like Cusano and Alec Bradley are having to hire more employees to meet demand. These independent producers are discovering they are part of a changing world in which the newest cigar smokers -- a growing population of twenty-something aficionados -- are looking at them not as fringe independents, but creators of some of the highest rated smokes around. After hundreds of years of dominance by entrenched name brands, the independent cigar makers have finally found a way to garner upward mobil

    Incentives to Help Your Business Save Money on your Energy Bills
    You’ve probably seen the adverts about businesses and energy efficiency. They usually concentrate on the environmental benefits – namely, if we use less energy, we pump less harmful gases into the environment. Obviously this is a worthy reason in itself. But, there are other motivations for businesses to monitor their energy usage and stop wastage – for instance, saving on bills.Paying less on energy bills brings immediate savings to the bottom line. According to the Carbon Trust, a 20% saving in energy usage – realistically achievable by most businesses – can have the same positive effect as a 5% increase in sales. And, the bonus: because saving energy does lead to a healthier environment, th

    Focus or Diversify - Which Path Should YOU Take?
    This week I have attended three seminars and listened to several other speakers on the subject of focus and diversify. There is a large amount of information about focusing on one thing to make your business grow. I fully agree with what they have to say, however, I also fully agree with those that say diversify to grow. The real challenge is "how do you do both" so your business stays on track. It may not be as difficult as you think. In my business, I consult with organizations in a couple of ways, first as an outsourced training department, and second as a professional that helps them see where the gaps in their achievements lie. This may seem like two widely different aspects of consulti
