Investment guide

2011-03-17T13:24:00.001-07:00

Please hold on a bit and meditate on this simple sentence. What actual can you do with N21, 000 monthly aside your salary or let come down a bit "How about N12, 000 monthly. We are talking about extra income apart from whatever you are doing right now
To me you can actually do a lot, with N21, 000. You can start that course you have been planning for years, With this amount you can change your son or daughter school to a better school, With this amount you don’t have to worry anymore about your house rent.
Are you married ?Do you know your wife will love you more because you will put her on monthly nonstop house allowance.
My dear friends think on these things. Remember you will be happier when you meet up with your financial obligation especially if you are a man. Don’t forget money answers all things.
So what are waiting for, won’t you rather let me show you this little secret.
How to make lot of money with little investment Guaranteed!"
An investment package that shows you how and where to put your money to work. It’s Like Having Your Own Private ATM machine, This is a privileged opportunity to be rich. Never lacking money
In the this package you’ll be getting information like
How to make N20, 000 weekly paid directly into your bank Account with a startup capital of N3, 200 only. Value: N1, 000
Where to invest N15, 000 and earn N45, 000 in 30days.No story, no MLM, no selling value: N2, 500
Where to invest just N8, 000 and receiveN70, 000 0r N200, 000 in 4month Guaranteed value: N2,000
Where and how to grow an investment of N1, 500 or N3000 to N500, 000 in 6month value: N2,000

Obviously whenever you come across this kind of opportunity, you are usually thrown into state of unbelief and procrastination, which keep delaying your action and before you know it you will forget about the opportunity only to come across same opportunity months or years later. Then you will remind yourself that you really have chance in the past to take up the opportunity but you throw it way.
So I don’t know how many opportunities you must have passed in the past, may be out of fear of failure, unbelief, scam, or procrastination.
But hear this ADVICE: Please don’t pass this opportunity again or eat that investment seed in your hand because, it could be the only way to your wealth creation. So create a definite plan for achieving your goal and begin immediately whether you are ready or not. Start immediately to put those plans to action. Try as much as possible to use anything around you, And I tell you, you’ll congratulate yourself afterward for your positive step
I tell you this truth "success only comes to those who take Action". Wishes are only meant for horses. Action is everything
So what do you do now?
Yes rush now to order for the this package and get everything you need to know about the investment how it works, what you stand to gain, and the company that does this investment etc.

Sales Strategy Creates a Competitive Advantage

2011-02-24T13:38:00.001-08:00

In today's economy, big and small businesses are seeking every opportunity to win sales through competitive advantages. Smart owners of small business know a sales strategy can create a competitive advantage.

Selling consists of two main functions: tactics and strategy. Sales strategy is the planning of sales activities: methods of reaching clients, competitive differences and resources available. Tactics involves the day-to-day selling: prospecting, sales process, and follow-up.

The tactics of selling are very important but equally vital is the strategy of sales. The advantages are too compelling to ignore.

Competitive Advantages of Strategic Sales Planning

· Increased closing ratio by knowing clients hot buttons

· Improved client loyalty by understanding needs

· Shorten the sales cycle with outside recommendations

· Outsell competitors by offering the best solution

Triple-tiered Sales Strategy

The development of any type of plan begins with research. The insight gained for a competitive advantage comes from the marketplace not from your mind. The approach to use is what I call "Triple-tiered Sales Strategy". Look at your client and the outside influences on their business. Approach all three tiers to understand your customer.

Tier 1: Associations: What associations does your target customer belong to? Contact the membership director and establish a relationship not for selling but to understand their member's needs.

Tier 2: Suppliers: Identify non-competitive suppliers who sell to your customer. Learn their challenges and look for partnering solutions.

Tier 3: Customer: Work directly with your customer and ask them what their needs are and if your business may offer a possible solution.

An excellent example of developing a "triple-tiered sales strategy" is a story of a small accounting firm. This firm decided to target independent truck drivers for accounting services.

The competition for this firm was a big accounting company. This small business approached the truck drivers association and learned that one concern of their membership was receiving financing for a new vehicle.

A discussion with the suppliers of trucks, revealed financing was only approved after the truckers supplied financial statements. The financials were often prepared by a large accounting firm who set appointments on their time and in their office.

The pieces of the puzzle were now coming together. The customer was the last piece of critical information. Truckers were frustrated by the inconvenience of visiting an accounting firm because of the time they spend on the road. The best solution was to bring the accounting service to the customer on their terms and time.

The small accounting office had defined a clear sales strategy: offer in-home financial statement preparation for truck drivers seeking financing through truck manufacturers. All sales leads would be referred from the supplier. This strategy was a win-win for the association, the supplier, the customer and the accounting firm.

The moral of the story is to gain a competitive advantage by looking at both sides of the equation, tactics and strategy. Use the triple-tiered approach to win business and outsell the big companies in your market.

Five Materials Every Copywriter Should Know How to Write

2011-02-24T13:30:00.001-08:00

If you're new to copywriting, you may feel overwhelmed by all of the advertising mediums you're learning to write. Whether you're searching for a job as an ad agency copywriter or a freelance copywriter, these five advertising basics give you an introduction to copywriting.

1. Print Ads
Spend some time learning about print advertising. When you understand what makes a print ad effective, you can move into learning about other print mediums like flyers, yellow pages ads and newsletters. Writing print ads is also an easy way to create samples for your portfolio.

2. Brochures
Don't just sit down and try to write a brochure. Learn the fundamentals such as how the brochure fits into the buying process, if the brochure will stand alone or be tied in with other ad mediums and what the selling points will be. Get to know the five types of brochures and you're on your way to creating a powerful brochure.

3. Direct Mail
Writing direct mail expands upon your new knowledge of writing brochures. Direct mail is not one specific package of materials. In other words, not every direct mail package is the same. Some may include a sales letter and response card. Others may include a sales letter and brochure. Getting familiar with direct mail helps expose you to a side of advertising that some agencies specialize in exclusively. This can be invaluable knowledge to have if you discover you enjoy writing direct mail.

4. Commercials
Television commercials help you learn how to write audio to match video. Creating a :30 TV commercial script is an excellent lesson in copywriting. Your script has to time out perfectly, you incorporate audio and video with your copy and you also learn about the use of fonts, graphics and other effects in the commercial. This is also a good time to learn about radio commercials while you're in commercial mode. You can easily use both TV and radio commercials as writing samples for your portfolio too.

5. Websites
Learning how to write copy for websites is a must for copywriters. Even companies that don't sell products online need a website so having and maintaining a website is something every company should be doing already. This is where you, as a copywriter, come in. You can also use website copy as a SPEC AD for your portfolio.

Don't stop now. These five aren't the only advertising mediums you should learn how to create. They're just a good primer to get you started.

BUSINESS AND ITS ENVIRONMENT

2011-02-23T07:50:00.005-08:00

A PAPER PRESENTED BY MR ADEYEYE BRIAN AT THE BASIC BUSINESS TRAINING WORKSHOP FOR 109 PARTICIPANTS FROM JOS NORTH/SOUTH 23^rd FEBRUARY 2011.

The external forces (influences) such as political conditions, social traits e.t.c in which a business operates are outside the control of the business, their effects impose on the managers a need to understand these influences-

A study of the business environment will shade light on the terrain on which the business will operate. It will provide answers to such questions as: are the circumstances right for making the business decisions that are about to be made?

What are the supplies, labour and market situations like? What demand will they present? What constrains will they impose on the enterprise? What factors offer opportunities to be neutured into and which ones constitute threats to be neutralized or avoided?

However, before we proceed to do this evaluation, we will first of all have to attempt to see what business and environment are.

Business in this context is viewed as an economic performance rendered to others at a price. It has two functions

· Creating a market and

· Innovations which differentiates it from other organizations

Business needs to be innovative to adopt to the dynamic nature of our environment. It is a linkage of input flows (materials, information etc)

On the other hand, environment is the set of all objects, which are influenced or which influence the system of interest. The environment is characterized by

· Complexity

· Turbulence

· Uncertainty

· And risk.

It is therefore imperative for the entrepreneur to identify and recognize his own relevant environment from the numerous ones. He needs to scrutinize his own business environment on a continuous basis as they offer both opportunities and threats.

He/she should strive to maintain the interaction between his business and the environment.

From our discussions of the two terms above, we now realize that the inputs for our business are derived from the environment and the output consumed by it too. Every reasonable business system is embedded in the environment. So the environment is crucial to as a business individuals and the environment requires our business for it to survive.

The business must therefore learn to develop strategies for responding and adapting to environmental conditions which were not considered at a time when the business was set up otherwise it may find it difficult to survive as time goes on.

CLASSIFICATION OF BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Having clearly understand what business environment is and its features, we will now attempt to make a classification of it as follows;-

· Physical Environment

· Socio – cultural “

· Political “

· Economic and

· Financial “

1. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT (TRENDS)

This relates to the Land area, drainage, climate, vegetation and soil type as they affect the source of inputs, conversion of inputs into outputs and business and consumer location.

The important thing is for the entrepreneur to understand which physical factors affect his business and to what extent.

As a result of the favourable physical environment in Nigeria and indeed plateau state; the under listed physical raw materials amongst others are available for establishment of business ventures.

· Agro – allied;- maize, Irish potatoes, yams,rice,fruits e.t.c

· Building and road constructions; sand, clay materials, laterites, limestone, timber and wood e.t.c

· Textiles and leather: starch, dyes, hides and skin.

· Paper and printing: pulp, ink, starch, printing ink e.t.c

2. FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT (TRENDS)

Here too we are looking at the capital investment (buying stock, debtor and creditors), operating capacity, sources and application of funds availability of resources and degree of risks e.t.c

3. SOCIO – POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT (TRENDS)

As an entrepreneur, you must be familiar with the socio – political history of your environment which might have effects on your business.

Under this heading would be questions about the population shift i.e. what is the split of the population between urban and rural areas between males and females, old and young e.t.c. the answers would show the size of the potential market for a particular type of product or market.

Also laws and orders which have direct bearing on your business are also imperative here.

Stability of the society is also considered. Stability in this sense means avoidance of sudden upheavals whether by religious, ethnic or class groups arising from some social grievances. In periods of such instability, social breakdowns occur with great consequences for business.

Also considered here are the norms tastes and habits of your target population. In some places eating of pork or consumption of alcohol are either frowned upon or banned. In some areas too certain types of dressings or food are prohibited.

The stability of government (firmness in control) is very necessary. Is there condition for orderliness and social justice. Is there any incentive for small scale business operators.

The answers to the above questions would provide a starting for the entrepreneur e.tc

4. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT (TRENDS)

The entrepreneur should endeavour to be conversant with

· Over all state of the economy whether it is stable or unstable expanding or declining.

However, before we proceed to do this evaluation, we will first of all have to attempt to see what business and environment are.

Business in this context is viewed as an economic performance rendered to others at a price. It has two functions

· Creating a market and

· Innovations which differentiates it from other organizations

Business needs to be innovative to adopt to the dynamic nature of our environment. It is a linkage of input flows (materials, information etc)

On the other hand, environment is the set of all objects, which are influenced or which influence the system of interest. The environment is characterized by

· Complexity

· Turbulence

· Uncertainty

· And risk.

He/she should strive to maintain the interaction between his business and the environment.

CLASSIFICATION OF BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Having clearly understand what business environment is and its features, we will now attempt to make a classification of it as follows;-

· Physical Environment

· Socio – cultural “

· Political “

· Economic and

· Financial “

1. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT (TRENDS)

This relates to the Land area, drainage, climate, vegetation and soil type as they affect the source of inputs, conversion of inputs into outputs and business and consumer location.

The important thing is for the entrepreneur to understand which physical factors affect his business and to what extent.

As a result of the favourable physical environment in Nigeria and indeed plateau state; the under listed physical raw materials amongst others are available for establishment of business ventures.

· Agro – allied;- maize, Irish potatoes, yams,rice,fruits e.t.c

· Building and road constructions; sand, clay materials, laterites, limestone, timber and wood e.t.c

· Textiles and leather: starch, dyes, hides and skin.

· Paper and printing: pulp, ink, starch, printing ink e.t.c

2. FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT (TRENDS)

Here too we are looking at the capital investment (buying stock, debtor and creditors), operating capacity, sources and application of funds availability of resources and degree of risks e.t.c

3. SOCIO – POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT (TRENDS)

As an entrepreneur, you must be familiar with the socio – political history of your environment which might have effects on your business.

Also laws and orders which have direct bearing on your business are also imperative here.

The stability of government (firmness in control) is very necessary. Is there condition for orderliness and social justice. Is there any incentive for small scale business operators.

The answers to the above questions would provide a starting for the entrepreneur e.tc

4. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT (TRENDS)

The entrepreneur should endeavour to be conversant with

· Over all state of the economy whether it is stable or unstable expanding or declining.

· National economic policies especially as they affect small and medium enterprises

· The exchanges. Any decline in the value of the naira would have effect on the cost of imported goods such as spare parts, raw materials e.t.c

Also note the rate of inflation. A high rate of inflation may reduce the purchasing power and add to the cost of materials and supplies.

Your environment is the source of your wealth, use it well and you will laugh loud. Your life will change for good if you choose the right environment, work hard and be upright. Start now please’

Remember it is when you stick your neck out that you will keep your head above the waters.

Thank you and God bless.

10 Ways to Get Customers to Buy Now

You sent out the best direct mail piece you've ever seen. Your catalog belongs in the Smithsonian. Your brochure is so great you framed it and put it next to the pictures of your kids.

So why aren't you getting sales?

Take a look at your call to action. With any advertising materials, it's crucial that you get potential customers to act. Now!

Use the following techniques to create a call to action that will have your phones ringing off the hook and your profits reinventing your sales graphs:

Give a Deadline for Ordering
We've all received some sort of promotional material that has a deadline for ordering. The offer could end on that date.

Or you could use the deadline in conjunction with an upgrade or free gift. For example, order by the 15th and receive....

Also, try to make the cut off date in the same month as your materials will be received. That way, your potential customers know they only have a limited time to respond and they won't fall victim to the "I'll do it later" syndrome.

Advise of a Price Increase
People want to get in on a good deal. If your price is going up on a specific date, let your customers know. They'll want to buy before your product's price increases.

Establish a Trial/Introductory Period
Trial periods are a great way to get new customers. Offer a special deal, extra service or a lower price during your trial/introductory period.

Free Gift
Nothing attracts new customers like free gifts. As an added incentive for ordering, offer your free gift to the first 100 or 1000 people that respond.

"No Risk" Trial
People want to know there's no risk involved if they're not satisfied with the product/service. Let new customers know they can cancel for any reason before the trial period expires.

"Not Available in Stores"
Is your product exclusive to mail order? If your product's not available in stores, be sure to tell your customers. They'll know they can only order your product from you instead of visiting the local stores.

Offer an Upgrade
One simple line can boost your sales. "Order within 10 days and we'll upgrade you to the deluxe model."

Free Supplies/Accessories
You've seen this technique used with computer sales. Buy a computer and receive a free printer. This works with a whole range of products. But be sure to include a date on your offer. This politely urges people to take advantage of your offer before time runs out.

Use Action Phrases
No matter how you approach your own call to action, be sure to include action phrases:

Call Now. Toll Free. 24 Hours a Day. Mail this coupon today in the postage-paid envelope. Fax your response card.

Avoid Passive Phrases
Be sure to avoid passive phrases like:

You know how to reach us. Call when you're ready to order.

Give your customers the perks of responding immediately. They'll grab their wallets. You'll see an increase in profits.

How to Write a Sales Letter

How to Write a Sales Letter

Learning how to write a sales letter will help you reach a variety of people. Writing sales letters doesn't have to be limited to direct mail, though. You can write a sales letter for your website, your Email leads and other marketing communications too. The first step is learning the components of an effective sales letter.

Identify Your Target Audience
You have to know exactly who your target audience is before you write your sales letter. Make a list of your leads and who these people are to get to know your potential customer. If you don't know who you're selling to, you don't know how to sell to them. Understand who's buying your product, who you're sending your sales letter to and gear your sales letter directly to them.

Know Your Customer by Name
Take the time to address your customers by name on the outside of the envelope and in your sales letter as well. A letter that reads, "Dear Mrs. Johnson," says a lot more to your lead than one that reads, "Dear Potential Customer."

A Powerful Headline
A well-written headline sets the stage for an effective sales letter. You can make it stand out by centering it, making the font large, bold or in color. Just make sure you choose the right words to grab your customer's attention right from the start. A 100 point headline in bold, red font still has to be written well or your potential customer will stop reading.

Say It with Subheads
Write your sales letter's subheads so that they help break up the text of your letter into sections. You don't want to drone on for three pages filling the paper with word after word. Use subheads to sum up each section, invite the reader into that section and, most important, keep them reading your sales letter all the way to the end.

Connect with the Customer
Connect with your potential customer by using a personal, friendly tone. Use this same tone throughout your sales letter. Identify with the customer's problem and provide them with the solution. By writing the letter as if the customer is your friend, your sales letter makes more of an impact than a letter that feels like a stuffy company trying to get a customer to buy something.

Write an Introduction
The introduction doesn't have to be bland. Your intro may ask a question. It may pose a problem scenario and then you provide the solution. Just make sure your introduction doesn't give the customer an easy way out. For example, if you're using a question as an introduction, make sure the customer can't simply answer with a, "no." If you ask a yes or no question, you can easily lose your customer because they don't have the problem you've posed in your question. They stop reading and your letter goes in the trash can.

Pose a Problem; Give the Solution
How will customers know they need your product if they don't even know they have a problem you can fix? Write your sales letter from the customer's point of view. Even if someone is a master seamstress and you're selling glue that hems clothes in minutes, make every customer feel they can't live without your product. In this example, you have the opportunity to reach people who rip their pocket or need a quick hem without having a lot of time to fix the problem. Your product helps them do just that, no matter what their sewing experience level. Just using a little of your special glue helps get them on their way.
