Business Contacts - The Secret Ace Up Your Sleeve

Sun, 01 May 2011 21:52:09 -0400

Every business owner looking for long term sustainable and profitable business growth needs to explore every legitimate possible business advantage available to them. While having an Ace up your sleeve might conjure up a negative or unfair advantage in business, it is far from it. Once you've identified where your extra Ace is, then you can really capitalise on this valuable extra asset. Word of mouth advertising campaigns have been one of the only consistent business marketing strategies to cross over from the Industrial revolution to the new digital revolution. In spite of being bombarded with all kinds of high tech media advertising, word of mouth still fosters a sense of confidence in prospective business contacts, customers and clients. Given that many economists discuss the 80/20 Principle, which states that in any situation approximately 80% of the 'work' will be completed by 20% of the participants. If you are looking to grow your business via increased sales of your products and/or services then it makes sense to nurture all business contacts to ensure they join your own personal army of independent sales representatives. **End Summary** Topics: business contacts]]> contact network]]> business social networking]]> corporate network]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Dr. Mark D.

Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:25:48 -0400

If you have failed to embrace business social networking, then you and your business are losing money. It's as simple as that; you are out of the loop. Every business owner should revaluate their overall marketing strategy if there is no provision for small business networking. Why?

Entrepreneur Protection Security Traveling Tips From The Close Protection World

Sat, 30 Apr 2011 01:56:06 -0400

With a global increase in terrorism, regime changes and a rise in organised crime that can only be likened to the spread of a viral contagious disease, traveling tips and protection security advice has never been in such demand for an entrepreneur visiting foreign destinations. The best security advice comes out of the close protection world, because the role of a professional bodyguard is often dedicated to protecting the lives of travelling entrepreneurs. Close Protection World Traveling Tips # 1 Alter Your Mind-Set Just about every entrepreneur I have ever provided protection security services for operated in what security specialists call, 'Condition White.' This means they go through their daily life blissfully unaware of any real security problems. Anyone professionally engaged in the close protection world will advise anyone under their protection to alter their mind-set from Condition White. This can be achieved through participating in basic close protection travel security training. Close Protection World Traveling Tips # 2 Trust No One The first commandment of close protection security training is to 'Trust No-One.'

Travel Security Tips For Every Business Director From A Professional Bodyguard

Fri, 29 Apr 2011 20:01:05 -0400

As a professional bodyguard every business director who has contacted me recently has stated they have an interest in seeking business growth from the recent volatile regions of North Africa & the Middle East once the conflict ends & peace & democracy reins. Many are Mavericks looking to visit these countries during the current unrest. It's far too dangerous to even contemplate it without having an understanding of basic travel security tips. Travel Security Tips From A Professional Bodyguard #1 Consult A Close Protection Security Specialist A close protection security specialist is not your average security guard working on a retail shop premises. Nor is he or she likely to be someone from 'Rent a Pectoral Bouncer' from your local nightclub. While these people are likely to be experts in their respective security sectors, they are unlikely to be qualified, skilled or personally experienced in providing corporate protective services for a business director visiting hostile countries seeking company growth for their business. **End Summary** Topics: travel security]]> business director]]> professional bodyguard]]> company growth]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Dr. Mark D.

Bodyguard Winners Never Quit & Close Protection Quitters Never Win

Sun, 24 Apr 2011 10:02:09 -0400

The recent escalation of violence directed at democracy seeking citizens of North African and some Middle Eastern countries has undoubtedly increased the security risk. The sector of protective service operations is one sector where the professional Bodyguard is reaping the rewards of increased body guard jobs.As the dust settles on countries like Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Qatar and Yemen, close protection will boom with the same intensity that the former Soviet Union experienced after the fall of communism. A professional Bodyguard with certified close protection training should look towards North Africa and the Middle East as the new epicentre for body guard jobs within the protective service operations industry.However one of the greatest reasons that an individual Bodyguard fails to really capitalise on a full time career in the close protection industry, is because he or she quits after attending just a few basic Bodyguard or close protection training programmes.One thing worth mentioning is that in the protective service operations industry, Bodyguard Winners Never Quit & Close Protection Quitters Never Win. **End Summary** Topics: Bodyguard]]> close protection]]> body guard jobs]]> protective service operations]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Dr. Mark D.

Wed, 26 May 2010 00:13:04 -0400

As the security risk factor increases, the number of close protection training courses for bodyguard work also increases. Business owners are sending their security staff on to a close protection driving & bodyguard training course to reduce their security risk. While the close protection world is experiencing business growth, business owners can't get free bodyguard training, so they are buying the cheapest bodyguard training course available.

The ability to service this natural organic growth might explain why the close protection industry is bucking the trend during the current economic downturn and experiencing massive business sector growth. The security industry has consistently placed high in the list of global growth industries during the last 25 years and most economics professors agree it will remain in the top 10 list of growth industries for the next 25 years.

VIP Protection Training For Bodyguard Work In The Close Protection World

Mon, 24 May 2010 19:11:03 -0400

If ever there was a benchmark for business owners that they need to increase their personal and asset protection, it is when you see advertisements for VIP protection training and bodyguard work appearing in the UK national newspapers. Make no mistake the world is not becoming a safer place. The global increase in VIP protection training for bodyguard work in the close protection world provides a clue that crimes of violence are increasing, as are crimes against businesses. Business owners & women bodyguards are attending bodyguard training courses & close protection security training to increase their security awareness. Bodyguard training UK minimises your business risk. It is wise to dispel the myth of the close protection world, especially that of a bodyguard being a muscle bound, shaven headed knuckle dragger. Whenever I refer to bodyguard training courses and/or close protection officer training, I am referring to absolute top notch professional security specialists with advanced levels of close protection security training. It may surprise business owners to know that professional bodyguards training in the UK and USA, often have to graduate from close protection officer training programmes that are more extensive than that of UK police officers and professional soldiers. **End Summary** Topics: VIP protection training]]> bodyguard work]]> close protection world]]> bodyguard training courses]]> bodyguards training]]> bodyguard training UK]]> free bodyguard trai]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Dr. Mark D.

High Risk Security VIP Training For Tactical Protection & Bodyguard Security

Sat, 22 May 2010 18:18:07 -0400

An increase in crimes against businesses has forced business owners to enrol their security staff on tactical protection & bodyguard security training courses. Only by understanding the inside secrets of high risk security VIP training can business directors implement counter security measures. VIP close protection specialists are experts at threat identification & asset protection, so close protection training is a great business investment. No business owner likes increasing their spending; however this current economic downturn follows the historical pattern of the two previous UK recessions. I am of course referring to the substantial increase in organised and opportunist crimes against business owners. Invariably business insurance rates increase after an Insurance claim has been made and the end result is that it affects the business bottom line. Sadly this often happens because many business owners adopt what's known in security circles as the 'Ostrich Syndrome.' It's a fact that most business owners bury their heads in the sand when it comes to purchasing effective security products and security services specifically designed to reduce the security risk. Frequently business owner's first response to security purchases is after the horse has bolted from the stable. **End Summary** Topics: high risk security]]> VIP training]]> tactical protection]]> bodyguard security]]> VIP protection training]]> VIP close protection]]> international executive protection]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Dr. Mark D.

Anyone who has studied the sixth century BC Art of War strategies from Master Sun Tzu, will recognise many of his strategies which appear to have been adopted by Duncan Bannatyne and James Caan in the Dragons' Den TV series.

Mon, 10 May 2010 15:58:17 -0400

We are in the throes of one of the worst economic downturns in history & to add more fuel to the fire, a UK general election looms. Confidence in business growth is at an all time low as business owner's fight to survive. Business finance & secure cash flow is key. Although the new Dragons' Den TV 2010 series 8 offers entrepreneurs hope by pitching for the best Dragons Den investors investment, be advised you enter the Dragon Den at your peril. Two very significant factors have propelled the Dragons'Den into compulsive viewing for every business owner and aspiring business entrepreneur. The BBC production team have taken a very mundane topic, i.e. business, and transformed it into one of the best entertainment programmes on TV. The second reason is the current economic downturn and the failure of many of the banks to lend money to new businesses and existing business owners. This has forced all aspiring start up entrepreneurs to seek alternative methods for finding financial investment to help them grow their business into a long term sustainable business success. **End Summary** Topics: new Dragons Den TV]]> best Dragons Den]]> investors investment]]> The Dragons' Den]]> Theo Paphitis Dragons Den]]> Duncan Bannatyne Dragons Den]]> Peter Jones Dragons D]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Dr. Mark D.

Free Online Sales Secrets Of Marketing & Online Marketing Sales For Business Owners

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 19:06:58 -0500

Business owners are acutely aware that they can detonate their sales and marketing campaigns by adding their products and services to the internet via online marketing sales. The greatest problem preventing these best online sales,is that online marketing sales companies baffle most business owners with impossible to understand terminology relating to search engine optimisation etc. For example how much of the following sentence do you really understand? "Some black hat SEO methodologies have led to sandboxing by the SE's. The ever evolving SE Algorithms present numerous obstacles for white hat marketers."
