Business Tips & Techniques

These are just a few of the business tips and techniques I will be sharing with you on this website.

TIP # 1
Create two lists. One list Title “What You Have”, the other “What You Need” (this is what you need to help your business grow)

Here are some ideas for the list; products, services, technology, relationships, assets, capital, brands, trademarks, credibility, interests, other connections businesses, people you know, distribution, customers, clients, subscribers, gain entry to new markets, advertising models and/or templates, access to sales staff/techniques, marketing.

Take a look at both lists; you now have something to offer and something to look for in an alliance partner. Ask yourself, “What are my areas of opportunities with an alliance?”

TIP # 2
Once you get one successful alliance underway you can begin more alliances in other cities, provinces/states, countries, continents.

TIP # 3
Take the time to set up an alliance properly. When you do, others will begin to approach you for alliances.Strive to be the “one to go to for alliances” in your industry.

Your prospective partners should have similar goals, methods of operations and corporate cultures

TIP # 4
Have someone in your business be the one who manages and champions the alliance. When you set up an alliance, you have created a valuable asset and relationship and you want to keep it that way. This is not a one time event.

Prepare alliance, mission, strategy & goals statements.

TIP # 5
Determine how you will measure and monitor the alliance progress and success.
It could be things like;

• Market Impact
• Increased sales
• Joint product developments
• Increased revenues
• Faster response to customer needs
• Shortened sales cycle time
• Shortened product development cycle
