2009-10-19T07:44:00.000-07:00

It is becoming really important that management identify the scope, relevance of total quality and used in the marketing of products and services, competitive advantage, so that he favors in the conquest of markets and ensure those already earned.

You can not ignore the current scenarios in the significance of the company that fully identified with what represents the total quality in particular. to the reality of a highly competitive economic scenario, otherwise you onshore markets.

Venezuelan SMEs study our interest should be identified with garatizar total quality and efficiency in production processes.

It should be borne in mind as you remember William Arthur Clery, that the basis of the success of process improvement is the proper establishment of a good quality policy, you can define precisely what expected by employees, as well as products or services that are provided to customers. This policy requires the commitment of all components of the organization.

The quality policy should be drafted with the aim that can be applied to the activities of any employee, may apply equally to the quality of products services the company offers.

It is also necessary to set clear quality standards, so we can cover all aspects of the quality system, supported in addition to the requirements that internacionaldemandan quality regulations

It is noted that to give effect to the implementation of this policy, it is necessary that employees have the knowledge required to meet the demands of customers, and thus able to achieve excellent products or provide services that can meet or exceed expectations.

Consider that total quality is a concept, a philosophy, strategy, business model and is located to the customer.

Total quality not only refers to the product or service itself, but is the permanent improvement of organizational aspects, management, taking a firm as a gigantic machine, where every worker, from the manager, to the lowest official level of the hierarchy are committed to business goals.

Very interesting when indicated, that for total quality is achieved to the fullest, it is necessary to rescue the basic moral values of society and it is here where the employer plays a major role, beginning with the previous education of their workers to achieve more predisposed workforce, better able to assimilate with the problems of quality, with best criterion to suggest changes to the advantage of quality, with better analysis and monitoring capacity of the manufacturing process for products and to correct errors.

In Venezuela this has left a lot to say, especially in SMEs, where it has been largely neglected what it means full quality, puestro are many who still do not identify with the quality, what it represents and can generate.

Therefore should not be surprised them discuss the use of total quality are advantages, as we are reminded that Clery would be among others:

* Improving the relationship of human resource management.
* Reduce costs by increasing productivity.
* To ensure competitiveness.

SMEs must give way to a new vision of what constitutes the knowledge to properly use the benefits of total quality, as indicated cosniderar Clery, to achieve the effectiveness of the process is primarily a customer benefit, but the efficiency of the process represents a benefit to the charge of the process.

The typical characteristics of efficiency are:

* Cycle time per unit or transaction.
* Resources (dollars, people, space).
o Percentage of the cost of real value added of the total cost of the process.
o Cost of poor quality.
Withdrawal or unit or transaction.

Total quality in the organization of a company must be the motor nerve and the same, if the company really wants to succeed must be based on these two words.

The total quality message should be reported to three actors who are mutually complementary: the workers. The Proveedoresy, Customers.

It must also have in mind that the fundamentals of total quality are:

* The basic goal: competitiveness
* Work well done.
* Continued improvement with the collaboration of all: personal responsibility and commitment to quality.
* Teamwork is essential for continuous improvement
* Communication, information, participation and recognition.
* Error prevention and early defect removal.
* Setting targets for improvement.
* Follow-up results.
* Management indicators.
* Meeting the needs of the customer: quality, price, period.

The obstacles to advancing the quality include:

* The fact that management did not define what quality means.
* Do not try to do things right, but that the customer feels like and are satisfied.
* They all believe in its concept, its importance and few are those who practice less
* Motivation at work because of lack of alcnace and benefits.

Once the company has identified and implemented tottal THE QUALITY, you must set all the strategies, actions that will guarantee competitiveness, taking into account that sustainable competitiveness means a profit for your business. Competitiveness is the result of continuous quality improvement and innovation.

Competitiveness is closely tied to productivity, who besides being interpreted the requeimientos, needs the demand should be highlighted rlos atriutos product or service, where quality plays a significant role that management must considerarf market highlighting the benevolence of delproducto each attribute.

When Will The International Currency Yuan

2009-09-18T08:06:00.001-07:00

"We are cautious about the concept of so-called internationalization of the renminbi," Guo Qingping, Deputy Governor of Central Bank of China.

Like any maturing process in China, beyond the existing target by imposing new currency as an international currency, both political and economic interest, they understand that it will take time and that it must meet certain conditions. It is not just a matter of desire, must also be a matter of capacity. In this sense, the yuan has potentially everything to prevail in a few years as a global currency, even (and most likely) to displace regional yen of his reign.

While the yuan is preparing to establish itself as an international currency in the immediate future in regard to the relationship with the U.S. dollar, analysts believe, according to the Internet Information Center China, that the exchange rate have little pressure the assessment as the U.S. economy remains weak. Since the market is perceived that the yuan will continue trading in a narrow band, which currently has at its center at 6.83 Chinese currency units per U.S. dollar and by virtue of the weakening U.S. currency has been observed against other major currencies implies a weakening of the yuan also with the consequent threat to the bilateral trade balance against China for the major economies.

"The fact that an international currency is made does not depend on a particular country, but the market" Guo Qingping considered. In China it is known that to achieve the objective of internationalizing the yuan, it should make it attractive and necessary conditions exist. Although not its color, the yuan is still green enough to be an international currency.

But despite the yuan still requires time to mature, and several economies have begun to incorporate it as an international reserve currency, and some even agreed to use the yuan in bilateral trade with China. The risk that arises in this sense is linked to the decision to incorporate highly overrepresented within the Chinese currency composition of reserves and bet on a currency that does not respond to market forces and despite being backed by a strong growing economy, has several elements of fragility.

Considering the importance of China as seeking raw materials and thinking ahead, there are many who see the dollar lose prominence in the trade of commodities and the yuan as currency in future participate in trade in commodities. In fact, the Chinese government itself had raised in March, the idea that the dollar is replaced as the world's reserve unit.

For Mark Mobius, who heads the Templeton Emerging Markets Group Asset Management: "Yes, raw materials could be denominated in other currencies. This is already beginning. " Fund managers are supporting the yuan to name the price of raw materials because, as mentioned, China is the world's largest consumer of them.

The yuan broke through the global currency, that can not be denied. But for the Chinese currency may charge a prominent role as an international currency must be freely negotiable, possible that at this time does not seem in the minds of the rulers of China. The importance of sustaining a competitive exchange rate to make exports for growth, (where the U.S. appears as a major destination), maintains the desire to continue with the intervention in the foreign exchange market to prevent appreciation of natural the Chinese currency.

And when you reach the stage of negotiating liberalization of the Chinese currency (to be produced by China's interest and not for U.S. pressure for that to happen), we should not imagine that this will happen without maintaining some degree intervention. This liberalization will be clearly and predictably gradual. Consider just what might happen if the decision to fully liberalize the yuan, compared with China's strong external surplus. This would generate a sharp appreciation of the currency reinforced by speculative actions of investors who would bet in that regard, which would impact heavily on the export dynamics and consequently on economic growth over the difficulties of immediate replacement of foreign demand for domestic demand . This undoubtedly is highly dangerous for an economy must grow at least 8% to prevent absorption problems of the labor force that is permanently integrated into the market, might affect political stability.

What can we expect then about the future of the yuan in the international context? As seen in the actions taken by the Chinese government, we can expect a slow but continuous advance of China's currency to position itself as an international currency.

John Paul Cardinal of The Economist, he realized the start on 28 September, the "" Long March "to dethrone the dollar, the day that the Chinese government plans for the first time, the issuance of bonds in Hong Kong RMB-denominated sovereign worth U.S. $ 878.5 million. Even the Ministry of Finance of China, Xie Xuren, considers the event as a decisive step towards internationalizing the status of the yuan, while the momentum to strengthen Hong Kong as an international financial center.

In recent months it has agreed with the Central Banks of Argentina, South Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Belarus and Indonesia formalizing exchange swap to enable those countries to pay their imports from China in yuan. It has also started to gradually reduce its holdings of Treasuries United States, but such withdrawal can not be violent.

Thus, the yuan moves and each time increasing its international presence, while very few ask Is it a good decision to accept the yuan as an international currency or will be taking a risk to the stability of economies?

Important Considerations For Choosing Auto Insurance

2009-09-16T08:42:00.000-07:00

* Unusual opportunities, such as making holiday travel by car each year, or perhaps to attend an important meeting in a nearby city, but that does not happen often. Depending on the possibility of this happening, make a payment can be considered slightly higher to include this in their insurance.

As shaken from credit card debt - Seven Strategic Steps To escape the trap of debts of Credit Cards

2009-09-15T07:52:00.000-07:00

Are you overwhelmed with credit card debt? Would you like to get back to sleep peacefully at night knowing that owes nothing to anyone?

No doubt the debt is one of the biggest devastation statement of the vast majority of families today. The common American household has an average of 10 credit cards and almost 50% of them have difficulty paying their monthly bill.

Credit cards have invaded the homes of the century. They are very easy to get and very cheap to use. There is evidence that consumers spend 12% more money to buy credit card instead of using cash.

It is very easy to fall into a habit of overspending when you only need a swipe card to cancel a purchase. Very few are aware of how expensive it costs to slip this little card.

It is something to make a few simple mathematical calculations.

For example, if the balance of a debt is U.S. $ 8,000 to 18% interest and is paying the monthly minimum, will take 25 years to pay the bill. Will pay $ 15,000 in interest, almost double the amount of debt. That gives a total debt of $ 23,000.

On the other hand, if you have a debt for which you have to pay $ 200 a month, if you took that same money and invest 12% in a mutual fund, in 25 years you could retire with more than one million dollars!

It's time to face the monster of credit card debt!

How?

The following will describe an effective strategy to get out of their credit card debt. It will require effort and will not clean up its financial situation overnight. But with effort and persistence, you can get rid of debt in a much shorter time than you think.

Step 1 Gather all credit cards you have and pick one with which he wants to stay to cancel products that you can not pay cash, for example when shopping online.

Step 2 Write down everything that you owe on each card when it expires, and what is the interest rate for each.

Step 3 Choose the one with the lowest value of debt and double the amount of the payment of that card. Then try to pay as soon as possible.

Step 4 When you have paid your first credit card, celebrate his victory and cut with scissors to never use it.

Step # 5 Then choose the next card with the lowest value and use the surplus that remains for payment of the first card to cancel the second. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with their remaining cards until you have them all paid.

You will see that there will be a snowball effect with each card that cuts, since the amount of payment of previous debts will be accumulated and be available to pay outstanding card debt.

Step # 6 Avoid impulse buying. Do not go to the supermarket without a list. Compare prices and always pay everything with cash.

Step 7 Use the card that remains carefully. Just do your shopping when you know you'll be able to pay the full amount of your purchase at the time of charging the card, which is normally the next month. Never pay in installments.

Brazil continues to lead the Region

2009-09-15T07:43:00.000-07:00

"We have to thank Brazil around" was the phrase that was heard in one of the panels of the "Meeting of Leaders" event held last week in Argentina.

Good news for Brazil, good news for Latin America and especially to Argentina: the Brazilian economy officially out of the recession that was deep.

The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics gave the good news by confirming that economic activity expanded by 1.9% between April and June compared with the first quarter. The figure was better than analysts had forecast in a Reuters survey that placed the recovery of GDP at 1.6%. The Brazilian industry for its part, in a context of strong exchange rate appreciation reduces the competitiveness, had a performance in the quarter leading to expand by 2.1%.

Not only the Brazilian industry is recovering, but from the livestock farming sector is undergoing a great time thanks to the policies of the Lula government stimulus. During this month, Brazil ended the harvest of the 2008-2009 campaign and the state's National Supply Company estimated that it would reach 134.34 million tons of grain, this being the second highest production in history.

The recovery of the Brazilian economy owes at least in part, recognition of stimulus measures ordered by the government to boost the economy, which included temporary tax breaks to stimulate consumption and industry.

Moreover, the slowdown in the inflationary dynamic variation in the month of August stands at 4.36%, below the inflation target set by the Central Bank of Brazil at 4.5%, allowing the Central Bank to maintain the current bias without recourse to a tougher attitude that could jeopardize the economic recovery and increase pressure on exchange.

The benchmark interest rate (Selic), is currently at its historic low of 8.75%, and everything indicates they will remain at that level. For the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) Series Central Bank cuts interest rates practiced between January and July lagged effects will continue to boost the economy. The price is also Copom economic content, which is a message on the profile that will keep monetary policy in the interest of economic recovery.

A happy Lula said after the news of GDP growth: "This country really was more prepared than the entire developed world to tackle the economic crisis, but throughout Europe and the United States".

But Lula is not only celebrating the end of the recession in Brazil. The importance of the Brazilian economy in the region increases the chances for recovery by the beneficial effects that increased economic activity in Brazil might have on the demand for American products. The Argentines, saddened by the defeat in football against the selection of Rio, celebrate the improving economy by their neighbor direct implications on the industry in Argentina.

The recovery of Brazil also has a solid foundation of long-term durability. The grounds for confidence that this is so, is a proactive long-term policy to which you are adding more social justice. In this context falls a few days ago the creation of a new state oil company, called petrosal who will manage the deepwater fields, discovered three years ago, using profits generated by that activity to improve health and education in Brazil .

And with the increasing development of the oil sector, one of Brazilian firms has continued to improve its profile and seeks to build upon its strong growth is Braskem (BVSP: BRKM3 NYSE: BAK), the largest petrochemical company in Latin America, a young, established in 2002. Earlier this year, the magazine market had revealed that the objective of Braskem for 2012 was to be among the 10 largest petrochemical companies in the world, and that goal is getting closer.

The petrochemical industry also seeks to develop in the renewable energy segment. In mid August, Braskem opened in the state of Bahia two production of ETBE, a gasoline additive produced from ethanol. Part of the production of ETBE will be used for the Japanese market through long-term contract signed with Sojitz Corporation, which provides for delivery of 120,000 tons of bioaditivo in three years.

Three weeks ago, Braskem had initiated discussions with the controlling shareholders of rival Unipar Quattor-controlled Participacoes (BVSP: UNIP3), another Brazilian petrochemical producer, to search for a strategic alliance options. Although not yet achieved positive results, the possibility of reaching an agreement would be an opportunity to promote growth.

Earlier this month, the company formed a new distribution company dubbed variant that will focus on sales of thermoplastic resins. At this time Fernando Butze, variant operations chief said: "The separation of business allows us to give priority to each segment and streamline distribution. Variant is what was formerly the division of chemical polymers and petrochemicals distributor quantiQ, wholly controlled by Braskem. The company also will participate in the Ethylene XXI project in Mexico are looking to increase production of ethylene and its derivatives.

Baskem shares have achieved a remarkable recovery in recent months. Should feel very pleased investors provided by the company in early March when its ADRs traded at U.S. $ 3.74. In the Friday, the company's ADRs closed at U.S. $ 12.32, still far from the U.S. $ 20.1 that he has achieved in August 2007 (or U.S. $ 25.82 February 2005) and Without doubt, without exceeding the medium term problems with the consolidation of its growth and expansion.

Is your Sales Force not sell more and better?: 12 Practical Action

2009-09-15T07:34:00.001-07:00

As you know, all businesses in the world are made and they exist to sell something, whether services and / or products. To achieve this purpose, usually hired a team of vendors, giving them a title: "Consultant" Sales Executive "," Representative "... among many other titles

In giving his imagination titles should be lush and generous, as the central idea is that the sellers feel treated and considered as a unique individual, who feels that his job no one like him or her and in turn, feel very fortunate to work for the leader of a single company.

NOW THAT THE 12 ACTIONS mention BASED ON 2 OF THE 3 KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL RESULTS: KNOWLEDGE + MOTIVATION. SAVE THE 3rd: INNOVATIVE TECHNICAL SALES FOR OTHER WRITING

The 1st ACTION .- It all begins when we decide to hire salespeople to make sure that if we earn money from home, depends on a selection process that we consider for example:

A. - The definition of "profile" part of which clearly states what kind of person we want our image and likeness, to deal on U.S. and meet our goals. In that profile considers: Soul: Character, Moral, Aspirations / accomplishments in his life, and so on. and Training: Technical Capacity, Level of Experience, Social and Wage Level, Management by Objectives, Plans, etc.

B - Structured interviews and agreement among those selected and tests various

C. - Analysis and confirmation of references, verification of documentation, etc..

do not forget to incorporate winners, ie good salesmen (the Anti-Crisis) is a complex process that requires time-consuming. Some times we hurry, we want to avoid the long time taken Specialized Independent Business to our Company, or if you decide to do the search and selection directly perhaps there are no technical basis ... that's how we surround ourselves with people who nothing or very little, we provide and are normally a source of conflict and despair for our clients, their colleagues and to everyone, ie we have chosen a conflict that will damage their profitability, as the conflicting lower the morale and productivity of his fellow ... Do you think that these losers will help you grow?

The 2nd ACTION .- Some managers are tired of dealing with their vendors that see them as liars, libertines, carefree, pushy, practical jokers, lovers, relaxed, bold, fresh, and so on. and therefore prefer not to be the ones who have to lead them directly. Well

* It is a fact that the best salespeople are the most productive and yet the most profitable, but are not easy to drive as they have a personality "weird" for some. In contrast note that the bad sellers, in the end only serve to make up the numbers, losses and bad times

* We understand that as all the winners, they are unique individuals with unique aspirations, with unique needs, with a family environment different from others with a special personality, and since this is so, we accept that it is not easy to pretend "to handle as ordinary people. " If we need more sales and profitability The worst thing we do is impose controls Without the appropriate level. - They need leaders Controls, ie able to motivate and make a team of leaders.

The 3rd ACTION .- The task of getting the most out of a Seller begins when he wants to lead first the known (one by one) in all circumstances. Command and / or CEO who really knows and understands who their vendor as a person, just understand that. Then because he understands it, can grow their sales almost unlimited - but OJO, provided that decides to commit to help you fulfill your aspirations and life goals that he already knows in advance.

The 4th ACTION .- VERY WELL AS YOU KNOW, wars are won by good general. To get the results needed to make sure above all that their managers and sales managers are trained to understand and manage the human soul. Only if their husbands are able to develop those skills and abilities will be recognized as leaders by their vendors and thus they will follow to the end of the world. So invest in Train and develop continuously. Every day lost in not train their sales managers will be reflected in lower profits

The Commercial Manager and / or Sales and their line management (supervisors) should be as essential to the drive and create leaders, be profound Country Lovers, THAT IS YOUR REAL WORK FOR LES THAT YOU PAID, for them the Desktop should only be a moment of rest and order (not secretaries) as well understand that is unique in the field, where they play the beans about your business, and where he (or she) will win ONE ON ONE to its sales force.

It is also in the field, which will develop much of their essential skills TEACHERS, demonstrating the Science and Art of Selling, which must be mastered in a practical and teach because they know (always with affection, good character and will) , is that its people and the respect and esteem and then naturally follow. THAT IS THE REAL LEADERSHIP PROCESS and RESULTS ... you know very well

So no mistake, you only need GROWING RESULTS non-fluctuating and if their commanders are at least 60% of their time directly in the field daily with their vendors.

If that's not happened and its controls are "desktop" THE ONLY THING YOU. YOU ARE DEALT WITH PAPER AND REMOTE MANIPULATORS ... squat, wasting time and WITHOUT CAUSE WINNING

The 5th ACTION .- Management or sales managers, giving a personal example to his people, are always formally dressed, making sure that their appearance reflects the image of a winner, demonstrating, teaching and require all its good looks and SELLERS great care, since it is indispensable in the life of the Business (as they see you they treat you). To do otherwise only means tolerating losers and that the negative spread and attract your business. NOT PERMITTED: UD. LOSE

Forget the 6th ACTION .- awards or collective commissions divided equally among all. It's a waste!, Any Seller to always bear fruit, he hates that kind of "incentives." He is a unique individual and therefore an award like "unique" which distinguishes it from others. Also watch carefully to be paid promptly their commissions in the shortest stretch of time possible. If you are concerned for them and not allow their arrears, they will render 100%

ACTION .- Support the 7th an atmosphere of appreciation to the small and large accomplishments. The achievements are the result of continuing to hold high the whole time the aspirations and expectations of its people. Yes you stimulated, with incentives, to express a genuine feeling of importance to you the people you move the wheel towards the success of each one of them and nothing will stop

In recognition opposite action watch the Improvised Managers obsolete, paternalistic who deliver food bags, to soothe their consciences by the low incomes they give their people.

The 8th ACTION .- never lets criticize or make fun of their vendors: praise him. The mockery and criticism of demoralized and that if it costs money, money. The jeers and criticism "CONSTRUCTIVE" are checked 100% ANTI RESULTS, so never allow your company!. - Scott Hamilton said: "The only disability in life there is the negative attitude"

.- The 9th ACTION TO YOUR SELLERS Never shout, either individually or collectively. The screams only serve to show a sad spectacle: the weak personality and very poor resources of the shouter. Do not be fooled, deep GRITONA TO NO ONE RESPECTS NO RESPECT AND NO TRACKING NO FOLLOWERS AND WITHOUT A LEADER ... RESULTS AND INCREASING NI that goes against its profits

10th ACTION .- A leader does not walk with a sour face, with a straight face, frowning, "biting" the entire world. Just go about the world of tiny people who "want to be respected" because they are "very serious". Quevedo said: "I walk hot and people laugh" and Thomas Sowell notes, "show courtesy and consideration for others is like investing pennies and getting dollars in profit. The labor environment is the direct responsibility of Management and sales managers: WHAT ARE YOUR BAD BAD SIDES

ACTION .- 11th Permanently Invest in Training to raise the quality of your entire MERCHANTS Sales Force (better still for all staff with a special program for non-vendors).

Few things are as pleasantly received by your sales team and ongoing training. This will motivate and help make good commissions. The big difference today is people, and if your people know the difference will be the winner. Yes its people before leaving to sell do not know your products or services to fund and how to sell, this problem can only sell ... THEN PROBLEMS!

12th. Action: If your people know you heard directly by the Supreme Leader, each will strive to present every day what you need to smile: MORE AND BETTER RESULTS

Subprime Cards, The New Threat In Us

2009-09-12T00:47:00.001-07:00

For the U.S. economy recover the path of growth, household consumption is the vital element that should be encouraged. But today, American families are too many concerns to think about eating. And one of the many concerns are consumer debts that are becoming difficult to remove, in a context where card usage is so intense that the plastic and seems to "glue".

One factor that helped Argentina's recovery after the 2001 crisis was the stimulus to consumption through funding. Retail stores found in the use of the cards and the "easy installments, how to revive demand. Banks also found in the segment of personal loans and credit card, the niche to exploit to return to the ring.

The generation of credit card financing is an important resource for consumption in the U.S. economy. But hopes for revival of financing through the use of plastic have clashed with the vision of the rating agency Standard & Poor's for this market where bad loans credit cards begin to multiply.

S & P has a quality rating of credit cards, which measures loans that banks do not expect to be paid. In July, the index fell 9.8% after reaching its record high of 10.4% in June. But this improvement in the S & P index did not leave much room for optimism when one considers that its explanatory factors have been the change in the behavior of consumers who have opted for a more cautious attitude, and extra dollars from the stimulus plan tax were used by families to pay off old debts.

While the U.S. economy going day to day confirming his return to slow and smooth growth path, there still remains the deterioration in the labor market that continues to drive the unemployment rate to rise.

Most job insecurity is one of the above factors when predicting the rising levels of bad debt from credit cards. The increase in unemployment in August reached 9.7% of the Economically Active Population (PEA), in the U.S., hitting their highest level in 26 years, will impact on the results of the credit card companies as generally it does in similar situations.

If the persistence of unemployment is a factor which may complicate the percentage of partly uncollectible financing, rising very definitely exacerbates the situation. And it is a rising trend in unemployment that S & P is looking ahead and will probably reach a level between 10.4% and 12.7% in the next 12 to 24 months.

Estimates on the results of this segment, making it likely that credit losses from credit cards could climb between 10.5% and 13.0%, following the evolution of unemployment. I even believe that the situation could worsen.

In this context, the credit card market is deflating, but nevertheless, it is oversized. Just as happened with subprime mortgages, we can say that credit cards are subprime because they have been granted without reliable financial information of users of credit cards which have been allowed to borrow without restrictions. These users have not hesitated to use and negative consequences in this harsh environment will continue watching.

It is true that financing with credit cards have been falling. July accumulate its sixth floor (since 1991 that was not seen anything like it) and in that month, according to Fed data, funding cards shrank 10.4% in annual terms, with a total of U.S. $ 21.500 million less funding compared to July. The magnitude of contraction is concerned because there had been a drop of that magnitude since these statistics began publication in 1943.

While the decline in credit card financing worries about their impact on prospects for economic recovery, more worrying situation of much of the debtors. U.S. officials recently acknowledged to the Center for Credit Responsibility, their concerns about the overuse of credit cards you are giving families. According to Eric Halperin, director of the CRC: "If banks allow the card holder is exceeded more than necessary, people will pay more than their personal budgets will allow."

Faced with this situation of excessive overdraft, the Federal Reserve Board of the United States is considering introducing more regulation on banks not to allow users to overdraw in excess since the risk of a collapse in this sector for funding is significant and can lead to the U.S. economy to draw the dreaded W.

With the increased risk of default on the card segment, the supply of financing probably change its position by increasing the financial costs and tightening financial conditions that will eventually restrict anchoring in consumption negatively impacting the economic outlook.

But there is more negative in this context relates to regulatory changes that will impose a cap from February in commissions and interest rates that credit card companies are charging their customers. Before entering into force of such ceilings is the latent possibility that the card issuers decide to increase such charges, particularly against this background riskier.

This situation being experienced by this segment of financing is no doubt very bad news for big companies like American Express Co (AXP), Bank of America Corp (NYSE: BAC), JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM) Citigroup Inc (NYSE: C), Capital One Financial Corp (NYSE: COF) and Discover Financial Services (NYSE: DFS), which make up about 80% of the industry of credit cards.

Faced with declining profitability of the cards, on Monday last week, Citigroup decided to divest three credit card portfolios valued at U.S. $ 1,300 million, as part of the bank's plan to dispose of businesses that are causing huge losses. Citi Holdings will continue to manage those units during the first half of 2010: "So that buyers assume the customer service.

The U.S. financial system has lost so far this year 89 financial institutions. Last Friday, fell five regional entities and promise not to be the last. But despite this, the situation of the whole system seems to have stabilized Will the credit card segment that will again give a setback to the U.S. financial system by putting it at risk for another episode of crisis?

The Bandits: creative ideas to flight. Born the first agency "virtual" community

2009-09-11T23:17:00.000-07:00

A network composed of communication professionals and strategic consulting. Milan March 3, 2009 - Born The Bandits, an absolute novelty in the panorama of communication agencies, which collects, in an integrated network virtually always in development, the best professionals of communication: from Classic to RP, to web design to communication conventional. The working method is to go looking for "bandits" of communication to build highly skilled teams on specific projects, which bring together the best experience and expertise of network professionals. This ensures the customer to access a service of high quality with lower investment and variable over time. The peculiarity of the network could have a widespread presence of specialists distributed evenly throughout the territory. The Bandits are a network of over 100 professionals with experience in various sectors and with expertise in all processes, from strategic and operational activities from creation to advertising planning, from design to completion, whose contribution is of definite interest. The Bandits is the first virtual agencies: there are no facilities that could limit potential collaborations (hours, days, recruitment at other facilities, fixed costs, workplaces, etc..) Network also represents that part of the Internet where words d 'order are sharing and participation. The Web offers the ability to communicate easily from one part of the globe to increase the flow of communication between users and opportunities to generate and share content and collaborate. Customization, flexibility of schedules and total absence of links of subordination are the features that allow you to The Bandits to offer its customers a job that meets their expectations in terms of results that cost. The head of the project is that of Daniel Marcialis strategic marketing and communications expert with experience of the market for almost 20 years. "Look agencies today - Marcialis comments - there are highly qualified professionals whose creativity is" castrated "because they do not feel free to apply their genius in other areas. Creativity, by definition can not have constraints and should not be exploited by creed or ideology of agency. The Bandits then arises as a provocation to the traditional way of communicating, where too many factors interfere with the genius and human creativity, conditions, limitations and impoverishment. That is why we search the network for professionals "over the top, we did get away from the walls of the advertising industry the most sought after creative minds, the most perfidious concepts, visions, more enlightened, strategic excellence ... only and only for violate the standards of the common level which until now have served to companies.

2009-09-11T23:16:00.000-07:00

How to Pay Less Taxes

2009-09-11T23:15:00.002-07:00

Want to know how to pay less taxes? In a dark period as the one we are experiencing the vision of a method, a "how to pay less taxes", seems a utopia. But it is not. I could not believe but when I had the opportunity to discover some information, my mind is open you can pay less tax without being evaders. We hear constant talk of tax evasion, money that Italy must recover from those who do not pay taxes. The newspapers, newscasts, television broadcasting bombards us with information about this topic that lead us to think of having to pay all taxes otherwise become evaders and therefore punishable by law. Tax evasion is a problem that is related to humans since ancient times and that is when the taxes were paid to the lords of the city or country as an act of submission of a vassal of the farmer or the power of higher education. With this information I was able to assimilate, I discovered the difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance: • Tax evasion is not evading paying taxes to tax inspection. • avoidance of taxes is a real key cog in Tax Planning, in simple terms is a detailed study in order to get (quite legally) a reduced tax burden, or its expansion over time. So thanks to my discovery I realized that tax avoidance is not synonymous with tax avoidance. There is the possibility of paying less tax or deferring greatly over time without being outlaws. To achieve the target with ease and safety must be helped by tax engineering, figures fairly new on the international scene, who are specialists in the field. People who, through engineering contributions, they know how to find the best conditions prescriptive while remaining within the law. E 'considered a real engineering because there is need, as in the construction of a project and build. The project concerns the study for tax avoidance and build instead on the strategy to eliminate or reduce the tax burden through the use of laws that favor the activity that interests us. For this we need an expert: the way ahead will not be the same if our business is planning, or the sale of books or even internet advertising. Each type of activity needs a particular study and then the professional who does this for us. And 'no doubt that the fees to be paid but if there was a street legal but less expensive, do not you would like to know? Want to know how to pay less taxes while remaining within the limits of legality? A team of experts in the field of taxation you will open our eyes to all the possibilities you have to reach your goal and will provide their advice. The information I mentioned (and of course so much and so much more) are found in a 116-page ebook, "How to pay less tax," where you can also find specific addresses and links for you to lean on advice and tips customized depending on the type of who play or are you going to do. Soon it will be bought online the definitive guide to tax transactions abroad legally, do not miss this opportunity, the number of ebook sales will be limited in time ... ... Do not miss informed!!

What benefit can make internet business

2009-09-11T23:14:00.001-07:00

The Case of Studio 1.1 brings out the fundamental reason why many companies are trying to exploit the Internet: the opportunity to take advantage of a source of additional income available from a channel marketing and alternative distribution. We can recognize the marketing opportunities afforded by the use of the Internet by examining the array of development strategies [Ansoff (1957)]. You can use the Internet to achieve each of the four following strategic guidelines.

1. Market penetration. The Internet can be used in existing markets to sell larger quantities of products already available. You can achieve this by using the Internet for an advertising campaign, thus introduce potential customers to an existing market their products and the profile of your company. This use of the Internet is kind of conservative.

2. Market development. In this case the Internet is used to make sales in new markets, taking advantage of the advantage of being able to advertise their products internationally, low cost, without the need for supporting infrastructure for sales in the country where the customers reside. This is also a relatively conservative use of the Internet, but involves the overcoming of national boundaries and the need to become exporters, or at least the need to operate in a larger number of countries.

3. Product development. Are developing new products or services that may be provided over the Internet. This is typically information products, such as market research, which can be purchased using electronic commerce. This is an innovative use of the Internet.

4. Diversification. In this quadrant are developed new products to sell in new markets.

Companies can use the Internet to adopt new approaches to selling products, positioning itself in one quadrant of the grid shown in Use Interne! for new markets and products.

Although it is the attractiveness of the increased revenue that has led many companies to enter the Internet, be present on this powerful tool also offers other benefits. Consider the example of express courier. Many of the services that were once provided by these companies through telephone operators are now handled via the Internet, allowing a significant savings in operational costs. This case is illustrated in the Mini-Case Study 1.1. In these situations, the online management can offer the customer a better service in terms of convenience, however, some customers prefer the "human touch" and for them, therefore, must be maintained even telephone service. Thanks to the Internet, many companies can also achieve savings on printing and distributing promotional material, price lists and other marketing communications.

Increase Your Sales - 6 Steps to Ensure Your Success

2009-08-28T03:04:00.002-07:00

Everyone at the moment is doing business in the same economy and yet some are growing and some are shrinking. Here are a couple of things to avoid if you want to grow in this economy.

1.The mindset that we are in a global recession and there is nothing we can do to improve our sales.
2. Rushing out and placing ads everywhere in the hope it will drive more people to your site. (Spending money on marketing that cannot be measured)

Everything you do must be thought through and it must be able to provide feedback so you can monitor its success, so forget it when a salesman comes to your business with a sure fire way to improve your sales because if you accept, the only sales that will be improved are his.

6 positive steps to improve your sales

1.Use Compelling Sales Copy

Sales copy is the written sales script the accompanies any of your products. Some people do not use copy at all and they are missing out. Products do not sell themselves. If your sales copy is good it will get the customer to buy or be seriously interested in the product the copy is for. This takes me to the next step.

2.Improve your selling techniques

The techniques to use to sell your product will ultimately decide if you close a sale or not. Every step that you took to get your customer to this point could be wasted if your selling skills are not up to scratch.

If you business is online then make sure the checkout is easy to use, secure, and offers multiple methods of payment. If your business closes sales over the phone then you need to make sure the person who closes is properly trained and motivated to close every sale. The same goes for face to face selling. Remember, its not what you sell, its the way that you sell it.

3. Keeping It Shiny

You must always keep your shop in order. That goes for online or offline stores. Keep things interesting.

If your store is online then rotate your stock on the front page. Keep product information upto date. Use only the best photos. If you have a bricks and mortar shop then keep it clean, really clean. Do not allow dust to build up on slow moving lines. Keep your displays up to date.

By rotating stock and using shiny new displays you can move stock that would otherwise go unnoticed by your customers. Many of your customers are just browsers and 'in your face' displays keep them coming back to see whats new.

4.Measurable Advertising

If your business is well established and has been going for a long time then you probably use some forms of advertising that you used when you started out. Its important to review all forms of advertising before renewal. Directory listings like yellow pages are no longer very rewarding and that same money cab be spent on other measurable forms of marketing.

If your business is online or offline you can still benefit from online marketing. Try having a YouTube video explaining your site ( The title would need to be specific to your business and it will rank well in the search engines). If you use newspaper ads then use coupons or a dedicated phone number so you can measure the success of this method.

For online businesses I recommend trying Google AdWords because once purchased you can be sure you will get a set number of people to your site, at which point its up to you to sell your product.

If your marketing is proven not to work then stop spending on that method immediately. If it is proven to work for you the double the amount of money you spend on that method and measure the results again.

5.Expand Your Horizons.

The internet has allowed us to have a world economy and single marketplace. It really is time to move out of your own back yard into this vast global space.

Have a look at the economy in different countries. They all will be affected by the recession but it will have affected them differently. Perhaps you can export your service or product to another country. Diversify to survive.

6.Spend More Time Marketing

It is essential that you spend more time marketing your business and products. Having a good product, good customer service and great sales copy is only the beginning. Marketing will connect you to your customers - without which your business is worthless.

Remember repeat and increase what works and eliminate what does not. Try new methods of marketing, but only if they allow you to measure the results.

These are the basic principles to enhancing your business. More in depth articles can be found to expand each point. More information and services for marketing your business can be found at:

Customer Relationships = Business Building

2009-08-28T03:04:00.001-07:00

To be effective at business building you need to invest in your clientele. Building into others and investing in them is what gives a good business great customer service.

The small business counselors at SCORE have made their 5 top tips for building customer relationships available.

1. Courtesy is always a high priority, but remember your customers need efficiency and an effective product or service as well; that's why they've come to you. Good manners alone will not get you repeat customers.

2. When feasible, meet with your customers face to face. Putting a name with a face can help the customer connect a real living breathing person with a business deal.

3. Thank your customers for referrals. A thank you is a great incentive for more referrals and repeat business. People welcome appreciation.

4. Go the extra mile or two. If you've misplaced something, missed a deadline, left out a detail or inconvenienced a customer in some way, it pays to make the extra effort by offering a discount or freebie.

5. Keep in touch. If a majority of your business is done on the web or over the phone, you will have to go out of your way to make sure the customer feels valued.

Building into your customers is a major investment in the future of your business. It doesn't necessarily take a lot of extra time or money, but the return on that investment is priceless. And your customers are the ones who won't forget it.

How to Get a Free Mentor

2009-08-28T02:57:00.001-07:00

So you're looking to get into the world of Internet Marketing and everywhere you turn people say "you need a mentor". Problem is, you don't have a dime to your name and your credit cards are maxed out. That's why you want to score it big on the Internet, other people are doing it and seem to be succeeding, right?

What all of these people have in common is their relationships with people in the same field. Some call it mastermind groups, some call it networking, but overall it's a form of mentoring. In order to get a free mentor there's a few things you should try to do.

1) Don't expect that everyone will take the "scrub my back, I'll scrub yours" mentality. Everyone's time is precious and unless they're a very good friend, the likelihood of them taking you up on a free mentorship is probably less than zero. Bartering for mentoring is typically a no-no, unless again, you have an ongoing relationship with someone.

2) Join a forum of other Internet Marketers and make connections. There's plenty of conversations to be had, and more than likely you have something to contribute. Forums alone may provide enough information for you that you may think you don't need a mentor, but a mentor will help you process the information you receive.

3) Mastermind groups or Networking groups. I think no matter where you live, there is a mastermind group or at the very least a networking group. You can find one of like-minds (such as Internet Marketing) or one just for ladies (if that happens to be your gender) or just a general one. The cost of these is usually free or fairly low. Chamber of Commerce's are expensive networking groups. Don't go down that route. Meeting these people face to face and really establishing relationships can lead to a free mentor and friend that can help you along the way. In turn you may be helping them as well. The student can become the teacher.

4) Seminars or Workshops. These prove to be invaluable. I have found that many of them can be free if you call in a favor to someone or if you follow a "guru" that is co-hosting. Never feel embarrassed to explore as many avenues as possible to get in free. Seminars are weekend long all encompassing business events and should be taken seriously as a note-taking weekend. Pay attention to speakers and get to know people. Follow up on promises made, contact after you've left, and keep in contact with them. Show an interest in them.
