Live From StomperNet: Why Off Line Companies Should Study Internet Marketers

February 16, 2007, Orlando, Florida.

This week anyone at The Hotel Rosen in Orlando Florida is attending StomperNet or JV Alert. The real value with these conferences is that many of the best, brightest and most successful developers of businesses using the Internet are teaching and interacting with hundreds of smart, experienced and successful attendees.

Those transferring substantial votes of appreciation (money) have received far more in one day than what we gave. For me that happened in the first 2 hours.

A couple days ago I was talking with my former wife (we remain friends – which is how it should be) and I mentioned how a big part of the value I bring to my consulting clients is self-taught. She questioned me about that statement. We then discussed the significant role my work with learning from Internet marketers has played in helping others gain huge positive results for their business.

About 5 years ago I became a serious student of direct response marketing on line and off line and business development on line. In the past 12 hours I have had in-depth discussions with Brad Fallon on sourcing products in China, with Jason Potash regarding the use of article marketing for more traditional businesses and John Reese on website focus and strategy. In the past 12 hours I learned about important trends and new products emerging that can help all businesses.

As a member of StomperNet I will receive the DVD’s from this conference. However, watching DVD’s and being in the same room with all this energy focused on building profitable business is not the same. The best revenue building results achieved by my consulting clients have been by those who have implemented action steps based on what I have learned from conferences and training programs focused on building business. Those clients and companies I work with in the future will receive even more value as a result of my participation this weekend.

What is your business development strategy for this year and what are you doing to tap into the right resources for you to achieve that.

Wish you were here!!

May you and all permanently experience prosperous health, happiness and abundance

Negative Viral Marketing

In this article I am going to give you a link that was sent to me as a funny video. You will soon understand why I am using this link in this message. This is a very important reminder that viral marketing can be very damaging or even destroy a business.

If you are new to the term, viral marketing, in a nutshell, is where one person tells or emails another about a website, story, video, movie, restaurant, product etc The message usually starts out with something like: hey____ you’ve gotta check this out.

Recently millions watched the Super Bowl. Whether you like his music or not Prince absolutely “wowed” most everyone. The papers gave him an outstanding rating. He performed flawlessly in pouring rain. Think about the impact on his record sales and his performance price tag. Guess what song was my most recent purchase from ITunes.

On the same show was the Snickers’ commercial along with a rather long list of other displays of marketing stupidity. But let’s examine the Snickers presentation. (If you don’t know what I am talking about – do a search on the Internet.) Was the intent to build brand awareness? Or was the intent to test direct response? Direct response may have been the ultimate goal since different endings that visitors to the web site could vote on were planned. I don’t know, but the real direct response was the outrage over the commercial and it being pulled two days after the Super Bowl.

My view is that it has nothing to do with motivating you want to buy a Snickers in fact it may have turned allot of buyers to alternative selections. It reminds me of some the outrageous subject lines used by Internet marketers. Sure I notice them. But they don’t make me want to read the message.

Moving on: What would you do to have the opportunity to showcase a new product introduction on Dave Letterman’s show? I’ll bet you would be prepared. You would make sure you looked the part and what you were showcasing worked right. Plus I’ll bet you would make sure there was at least a subtle reference to your web site or 800#. Even the newest people learning marketing would know to do this. Look at this clip – amazing. Click Here For Steamed
Can you imagine being a celebrity using your name with a new product introduction and having it turn out to be a major joke – on Letterman of all places. Come on.. you can’t tell me that even Richard Simmons doesn’t have common sense. If he doesn’t, he certainly has staff could to show him how to dress and act since he is associating his name with a product. I would really enjoy having the opportunity of watching this with Joel Bauer – Mr. Persuasion. I can only imagine Joel’s reaction.

The point is, you don’t have to be a master marketer to get it right. Just use common sense. I am not a marketing guru but just this year I finished helping two companies get on track for 2007 where their sales will increase 50% and profit growth will be higher than that. Of course it is not all marketing. But without an effective business development plan in place along with a management system in place that quickly confirms what is working and what is not so you can take appropriate action, you will not hit your target.

May you and all permanently experience prosperous health, happiness and abundance

Who Do You Listen To …Part One

Generally, I read every email, every blog post and every direct mail piece issued by a small select group of people. These are experts based on my own experience with their content. In most cases I have spent time with each of these people at conferences and seminars. They have earned tremendous credibility in the business community for their discipline.

I am alert to new ideas and results from others. However, with limited time, they do not receive nearly as much of my attention as the expert class. Dan Kennedy is in that class and this week he is on the phone revealing extraordinary successes achieved by ordinary people. Dan calls this group Renegade Millionaires. I have a lot of material on what the Renegades have achieved. An hour with Dan will be time well worth spent.

He is making the times very convenient and Dan usually does not record the calls so you can listen at other time. So take a look and jump in if you can. This is a complimentary call. Dan does not work for free but he will deliver allot of value in exchange for your time. So book at time and grab a couple of pens and a pad of paper and be ready for some great Dan Kennedy advise.

Possibly Rich Shefren’s Most Valuable Sentence From His Live Presentation

The live feed was near perfect. After a few introductory comments Rich said ” work on yourself first, then build revenue and once you gain momentum, focus on your staff.” He provided valuable content for the remaining two hours of the live feed. He covered it very briefly but the statement was powerful…WORK ON YOUSELF FIRSt!! More on that in another post. For now back to the show.

In every presentation there are debatable points. However thousands, with me included, are grateful for the education Rich delivered using this “no money required” format. For those of you who think this presentation was free then you missed Rich’s point on the value of your time.

As a seasoned business development consulting professional (www.stevepohlit.com) I have helped many companies implement most of the techniques Rich teaches. I have many success stories. Few are with name brands. On the other hand Rich has a long list of name brand clients. He is a wizard at marketing. Look at the list of people who gave him testimonials. He earned them all I am sure. One Rich presented was from Jay Abraham. If anyone knows the reputation of Jay Abraham you will understand the value of Jay’s testimonial.

I have been paying close attention to the marketing strategies of the well known names including Rich. I need to step my promotions up a number of notches. How about you? A major takeaway for me is that it makes no difference how good you are, if nobody knows it then you can’t help them. Another one is his emphasis on evaluating what you do vs. having someone else do it. Maybe like me you have heard this before. I don’t know where I learned it. Maybe it was from one of the notables like, Jay Abraham, Dan Kennedy, Ken McCarthy, John Reese and the list goes on. Rich delivered an excellent slant on the value of our time.

This seminar was a great marketing example. Rich Shefren had a notable list of JV partners promote this. What was their motivation? Seems to me it is the sharing of the revenue from people who signed up for his backend program. But they wouldn’t have done it if Rich didn’t have the credibility.

Now it wasn’t that hard to promote. After all, how many seminar leaders run a live two hour feed from the seminar The result was a represented 10,000 people tuning in. Of course I have no idea what the conversion rate was. However, if 100 people joined, well do the math. Regardless of the conversion, Rich proved the technology works. Will it replace live seminars? Nope!! But imagine the possibilities. Think of a major event from a coast opposite of where you live or from another country. I could see mini conferences gathering regionally to network in connection with the main event. Why not? JV Alert started with 19 people around a hotel conference table in Philadelphia. Now look at. We’ll see where this goes.

As an aside, I was at the first JV Alert meeting. I met Ken McCarthy, Allyn Cutts, Cody Moya “Mr. Road Trip” Sterling Valentine and more. Every contact from that meeting will take my phone call and repond to my emails. Of course I will do the same. Value – priceless. You cannot replace that with a camera, screen and live feed. Speaking of Stearling – he is on the road again. Click here to see what he is up to.

There are a couple of techniques that Rich teaches that have not been ones that I have emphasized. Many of my clients have big issues that need addressed fast and often I don’t get the the process mapping phase. I will absolutely implement that with the newest company I am working with which is a $10 million business generating 80+% of it’s business on-line. It sources physical product internationally and in general is hugely successful. So why am I working with them? Simple, they can easily be ten time larger in terms of revenue and profits in 24 months. That is the target.

The content Rich offered in the streaming feed from his live seminar will help me. From a look at some of the comments at Strategic Profits allot of other people are happy as well. Thank you Rich, I am most appreciative for all the lessons.

May you and all permanently experience prosperous health, happiness and abundance

Brilliantly Simple!

Mark Joyner should have a great big smile on his face knowing he is helping allot of people with an easy to follow program. I have an inkling as to he might feel like. When my consulting clients who follow my Roadmap to Extraordinary Profits ” get it and prosper. Most always say – “wow this is so easy-all we have to do is – well do it”.

I think Simpleology is brilliant. Recently, I have been brushing up on the steps to Writing a Book in 14 days by Steve Manning. I am outlining my book that takes my free course “How To Increase Profits by 30 % or More In 90 Days or Less” to the next level by incorporating … well let me save that for when the book is closer to being done. Anyway, one of the topics is how to do research for your book.

Steve recommends doing research in the children’s section of your local library. That research will be fast because the most brilliant experts write so a 10 year old can understand the material.

Mark Joyner has published Simpleology so all can quickly understand and apply the marvelous process he details. What is so impressive is the amount of content that is available for everyone for FREE.

Mark’s a very credible businessman who over delivers. People send him appreciation for the value he provides (money). He provides allot of value and you should see for yourself by visiting Simpleology.

There is one of the many differences between my skills and his. If it were me I would have started with 103 because I know without health and energy nothing else happens. 103 is so exciting. There is no way I am able to follow his lesson for today methodology. I was up to day 7 on the first day. I know Mark – I am just supposed to follow the program.

Business owners, internet marketers, stay at home moms and literally anyone alive will benefit from Simpleology.

OK you ask how this has helped me? I am soon going to announce a major deal. Thing is it is a first of many and I thank a small group of resources for that. Simpleology is one of them. Here is a hint on what is to come: who do you really listen to?

Ed Dale Announces He Is A Fraud Victim.

Ed Dale, one of the Internet marketing “gurus” announced in his first podcast of 2007 that he has been a victim of fraud. He did not elaborate on the details including the amount of the loss. Regardless of the amount I know it was painful for him and his wife. How do you think I know that?

Most of what I write is about how I help companies grow revenue and profits quickly. One of the early chapters of this process details how I use an eight week rolling cash flow and financial flash schedule with all my clients. In addition to the explanation subscribers receive the exact Excel template I use for engagements.

What is really important is how completing this information, and making sure it agrees with your bank records and other supporting documents establishes a tight control environment over assets.

I was a fraud victim twice. Both times for very significant sums of money. I am a CPA with extensive business experience. With all of this experience I was still a fraud victim. So I designed a business development process that includes very tight controls over assets.

My free mini-course “How To Increase Profits by 30% or More in 90 Days or Less” details allot about how to run your business with the right controls.

If you take the money you make and invest it in swamp land or pay for designer jewelry, I cannot help you with that. But if having the assurance the assets of your business are insulated from theft or fraud is important to you, then you need to have the right controls and that is part of what I do with companies.

Would the processes and procedures I install have prevented Ed Dale from being a fraud victim? I have no idea since Ed is not a client and I don’t know what happened. If you wonder if this can happen to you- it can. If you want to talk about your business and practical controls for minimizing the risk of fraud then call me.

I wish you prosperous health, happiness and abundance

Blogging For Profits Supplement: Subscribers Know The Value of Content. Now Create Content Leverage

Look closely at this blog you will notice there are allot of posts. For the most part I have written all of them. You will not find a bunch of shallow 500 word reports written by some ghost writer named Boris. The information presented at Steve Reports
 is focused within a narrow range.

Now does this mean you have to originate all of your own content. Absolutely not! I have a site and related blog where I have commented maybe once in every 50 posts. Check it out the site is all about essential oils I know – that is a shameless plug. So what? This is my blog and I can write it. You can do the same – create a blog and start publishing.

Let’s go deeper. Blogging For Profit veterans know the power of regularly posting to their WordPress based blog. Now here is a very valuable lesson: make each of your articles be a driving force of targeted traffic to your site and blog. How do you do this? I am so glad you asked.

Jason Potash is responsible for my addiction to content. Some time ago (don’t ask me) I purchased Article Announcer and this is really cool… two guys get on the phone have a discussion, record it and sell the recording and software for allot of money. I have not advanced to the point where any normal person wants to pay to listen to any of my phone conversations but I am working on it.

Leverage

When you write an article for your blog, you can take that same article and publish it in the article directories. Of course you know your article needs to have deep links, back links, sideway links etc. to wherever it is you want your reader to click. Your article must also contain a resource box, with some snippet about you and your site.

Now the article directories pick it up and someone looking for content on the subject you published finds you and uses your material with your links and their audience reads your material and some of them click on your links and, well… you get the picture.

Submitting to Article Directories Is A Pain Unless

You use the submission tool I use which makes article submission a breeze. The two guys on the phone that I mentioned are none other than John Reese and Jason Potash. I devoured this content because it made perfect logical sense to me.

Disclosure: I am an affiliate and Jason pays me money when someone buys Article Announcer based on my recommendation. On this blog my primary recommendation is that you hire me as your business consultant or refer me to someone you know and make a very nice referral fee (another shameless plug). I have numerous sites I recommend that are listed below. I rarely discuss a product in this forum but my Blogging For Profits and Business Building fans need to know about Article Announcer.

Bonus

If you read this far then you deserve to know Jason is running a short term special price on the electronic version of Article Announcer. Check it out

I wish you prosperous health, happiness and abundance

“That’s Not Good!!” Very Important Information For Business Owners, Internet Marketers and Small Business Owners

Situation Room:

Revenues nearly doubled in one year to more than $14 million. Profits hardly moved from the previous year which and those profits barely broke $0. When I reviewed this information with the founder of the business, he looked me directly and sternly in the eye and said “That’s Not Good!” We then went onto discuss the changes being implemented to posture the company for making money.

Today

Are those changes working? Too early to tell because I know from experience many companies never continue following what they are taught. They revert to the “way they have done business in the past.”

I am a business development consultant. I am not a permanent fixture in companies I help. I have a long list of companies that are successful. I have a shorter list of companies that are not. What is the difference?

Commitment!! If I show you “How To Increase Profits by 30% or More In 90 Days or Less” and that happens, you are happy. When I tell you what we just did must continue each day, week and month, you begin to think about what you have to do to make that happen and some people conclude they do not want to do that work. They would rather settle for mediocrity.

The Solution

It is harder to continue losing money than it is to make money. Think about it. When you are losing money, you not only have the work to do but you also have the draining worries associated with losing money. How do you think I know that? The solution is to make up your mind to be prosperous.

Now assuming you are losing money or not making the money you want, how do you change that? The companies I work with follow a proven program for success. How do I know? It has taken quite a bit of time and experience to identify the fundamentals of running a business that everyone can follow each day. Part of the experience was finding the people who run successful companies.

If you are using the Internet as part of your marketing strategy, who are you following. Right up front: don’t follow me except when it comes to blogs then read my Blogging for Profit Series – it will help you. So who should you follow? I pay attention to people who are obviously successful. When I met John Reese and had my picture taken with him outside his Lamborghini I knew he had achieved a measure of success and was delighted to have that opportunity of meeting him. He was gracious is very focused on sharing what works for him. John understands there are not limits to the amount of money in the world and if John Reese makes $20 or $200 or $2000 million, there are still millions and even more you can make. I highly recommend John’s material.

In 1990. I was in Aspen Colorado at a three day summit for people running companies owned by an investment firm. The hosts of that meeting were two brothers whose net worth was at least multiple billions of dollars (yes that is a B). The learning curve for me at that time was fast and furious. I learned very successful people have a very clear definition of their business, the direction of their business and profit goals are clearly defined and the support structure necessary to achieve their business goals is soundly in place.

To The Point

Today at the start of every consulting project I reach agreement with the owners and management team on the definition of their business and the near term revenue and profit goals. We then move onto growth rates and setting the procedures and processes in place for achieving those goals.

This process is provided to everyone interested in the complimentary mini-course How To Increase Profits by 30% or More In 90 Days or Less (Register Here). This course is as relevant for internet marketers as it is for billion dollar companies.

It all starts with a clear definition of what you want and what you are prepared to do. Once you decide, follow a proven roadmap. Do you think it is coincidence this blog is named “Roadmap To Extraordinary Profits”? By the way, over time certain of the tools and techniques used in achieving extraordinary profits are refined. Like you I pay close attention to the tools and techniques developed by experts to help your business. I frequently mention the people who continue to help me with their training. The experts on my list are there because they help me based on my interests and my intent on using what I learn for myself and clients.

For those who say their business is Internet marketing I say your business has to be more clearly defined. Ed Dale is applying “the buy em and flip em model” for web sites and has evolved from a number of business models. I think Ed has a clear definition of his business but I can’t define it. Brad Fallon has a very traditional business model with search engine optimization as the engine. Frank Kern who may be an idiot savant, has a clear business model of monetizing small niche markets. Dan Kennedy is a copywriter and direct response marketing guru. Bill Glazer is an information marketer. Dan and Bill also run the college of direct response marketing through their newsletters, seminars and information products. Ken McCarthy is an educator. His System Seminar teaches people. Ken spends some of his time and resources on non-direct teaching but he loves to teach and does a great job doing so. I could go on but you get the point. Look at any person that you view as success and generally what business they are in is clear. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Have a clear definition of your business and a clear measurable goal for your business. Then measure the progress frequently.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of measuring progress frequently . I develop a key factors report for every company I work with that tracks progress. For example in a retail business we track sales and gross margin trends. In the contracting industry we track flow of requests to bid and make sure bids submitted and ultimately the work completed tracks with the gross margin goals. In those industries and all others where I do work we always have an annual plan of revenue, margin and profit. Again this is detailed in the currently free course How To Increase Profits by 30% or More in 90 Days or Less

Avoid thinking tools are your business. The Internet, SEO, direct response marketing, copywriting, niche marketing, video, podcasts, autoresponders co-registration, infomercials, and more are tools. Recognize these are tools and continually ask yourself what are the tools that will really help your business the most. Then as others point out so well, what are the activities that need your skills and which ones should be outsourced.

Allot of times I write for my own benefit meaning it crystallizes my own thinking and in order to write about a topic you need to have a level of experience with the subject matter. This article for example originated because I have not personally focused on a clear definition of my own business and I have not completed a clear financial plan with action steps for myself. I am now doing this and I am optimistic this will be my best year ever (and I have had some really good years.)

I wish you prosperous health, happiness and abundance

"That's Not Good!!" Very Important Information For Business Owners, Internet Marketers and Small Business Owners

Situation Room:

Revenues nearly doubled in one year to more than $14 million. Profits hardly moved from the previous year which and those profits barely broke $0. When I reviewed this information with the founder of the business, he looked me directly and sternly in the eye and said “That’s Not Good!” We then went onto discuss the changes being implemented to posture the company for making money.

Today

Are those changes working? Too early to tell because I know from experience many companies never continue following what they are taught. They revert to the “way they have done business in the past.”

I am a business development consultant. I am not a permanent fixture in companies I help. I have a long list of companies that are successful. I have a shorter list of companies that are not. What is the difference?

Commitment!! If I show you “How To Increase Profits by 30% or More In 90 Days or Less” and that happens, you are happy. When I tell you what we just did must continue each day, week and month, you begin to think about what you have to do to make that happen and some people conclude they do not want to do that work. They would rather settle for mediocrity.

The Solution

It is harder to continue losing money than it is to make money. Think about it. When you are losing money, you not only have the work to do but you also have the draining worries associated with losing money. How do you think I know that? The solution is to make up your mind to be prosperous.

Now assuming you are losing money or not making the money you want, how do you change that? The companies I work with follow a proven program for success. How do I know? It has taken quite a bit of time and experience to identify the fundamentals of running a business that everyone can follow each day. Part of the experience was finding the people who run successful companies.

If you are using the Internet as part of your marketing strategy, who are you following. Right up front: don’t follow me except when it comes to blogs then read my Blogging for Profit Series – it will help you. So who should you follow? I pay attention to people who are obviously successful. When I met John Reese and had my picture taken with him outside his Lamborghini I knew he had achieved a measure of success and was delighted to have that opportunity of meeting him. He was gracious is very focused on sharing what works for him. John understands there are not limits to the amount of money in the world and if John Reese makes $20 or $200 or $2000 million, there are still millions and even more you can make. I highly recommend John’s material.

In 1990. I was in Aspen Colorado at a three day summit for people running companies owned by an investment firm. The hosts of that meeting were two brothers whose net worth was at least multiple billions of dollars (yes that is a B). The learning curve for me at that time was fast and furious. I learned very successful people have a very clear definition of their business, the direction of their business and profit goals are clearly defined and the support structure necessary to achieve their business goals is soundly in place.

To The Point

Today at the start of every consulting project I reach agreement with the owners and management team on the definition of their business and the near term revenue and profit goals. We then move onto growth rates and setting the procedures and processes in place for achieving those goals.

This process is provided to everyone interested in the complimentary mini-course How To Increase Profits by 30% or More In 90 Days or Less (Register Here). This course is as relevant for internet marketers as it is for billion dollar companies.

The Key Was Found That Unlocks The Secret Vault With The Report On What 2007 Business Development Predictions Will Come True. Here Is The Report!

The Key Was Found That Unlocks The Secret Vault With The Report On What 2007 Business Development Predictions Will Come True. Here Is The Report!

20% of the people having a goal of making money on line in 2007 will make money on line in 2007. 20% – 40% of those will make enough money to consider it their full time work.

Frank Kern will be more even more blond by the end of 2007.

80% of the people on line today trying to make money will not make any money on line in 2007.

The rate of business failures in 2007 will accelerate. 80% of those failures could be avoided with the experienced guidance.

Ken McCarthy and Ken McArthur will continue to rank the highest in the group of people offering the best seminar training.

The rate of new business starts will increase. Those starts will be added fuel for the rate of failure.

2-5% of the people on line in 2006 will make 90-95% of the profit on line in 2007.

President Bush will not be re-elected.

Dan Kennedy and Bill Glazer will send out a big box next year to their customers wishing them the very best Christmas ever. In the box will be at least 10 opportunities to spend money on one or more of their in-house study programs or seminars. Read the Christmas card first of course. (Did you receive one of their cards in 2006. Was it just me thinking their mailing was tacky at best? ) Do not ignore Dan and Bill’s training unless you are netting more than $10 million a year from continuity programs.

There will be no more than 4 new players in 2007 that will achieve public recognition of being an Internet guru. Five currently recognizable gurus will leave to find off line jobs to pay their bills.

More people will figure out how to use Blogs and Social Networking sites to effectively market their business. 5% of these people will develop courses to teach use these skills. 20% of the courses will have valuable content. 5% of those not publishing courses will be making the most money and we will never know who they are.

Next year the number of people you don’t personally know who will send you emails wishing you everything you ever dreamed of during the holiday season will triple.

The burst in the housing bubble is over and the housing market will be on a steady incline throughout 2007.

90% of the people buying new programs, memberships and training will not use any of what they purchased and learned.

Google Adsense is not dead and there will be a surge in people telling you how much money they are making with adsense.

There will be an increasing number of public companies that will go private as they are tired of the cost of complying with SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley.

Website buying and selling will accelerate. Ed Dale’s latest training topic is in front of the curve.

Direct mail will be used more by the top 5% of the Internet Marketers in 2007 as they recognize that a people still like paper and ink. 20% of the remaining 95% will try direct mail and wonder why it doesn’t work for them. None of the 95% pay close attention to Dan Kennedy and Bill Glazier.

John Reese says that long sales letters are on the decline and using a combination of Camtasia, live video clips and sales copy on your sales page will be most effective. John is right. Actually John is nearly always right and will continue to be so in 2007. Why is that? He tests and validates before he opens his mouth. If you don’t read his month report you are not serious about making money on line. (Frank Kern is nearly always right even with blonde hair.)

The gap between those building wealth and those not increasing net worth will widen in 2007. Those not building wealth will blame those who do with even louder voices and will want the government to step in. Those building wealth want the reinforcement of our country’s constitutional principles which basically says we have the right to build our business and build wealth and who we help is our choice not a government mandate. People still don’t get the fact that jobs are created and more money flows into the federal and state tax accounts when we let people who know how to build business do just that. Those not getting this point will continue to increase in 2007.

Portal Feeder will win the Grammy for the longest running program to have people pay for the development of a new version that should have been offered when the original version was offered but was not, and still is not over a year later. The Grammy will be awarded for best supporting actors in a major film that has not been released. By the way I love the PF team.

More people will recognize that all of this is a game and will turn increasing levels of attention and energy to the purpose and quality of human game. (Read Bob Scheinfeld’s Busting Lose From The Money Game)

Stomper Net will emerge as the best “I wish I were in that group” program. However, 80% of the people in Stomper Net will not take any action on what they have learned.

The best overall teacher of business success principles in 2007 will be Steve Pohlit, followed by John Reese. (Hey it is my blog!)

If 2007 is a great New Year for you it is because you have accepted the responsibility to make that happen and not because me or anyone else says Happy New Year to you.

Be well and prosper,

Best Buy’s Results Only Work Environment Deserves High Marks. Here’s Why

Best Buy’s Results Only Work Environment Deserves High Marks. Here’s Why

Huge cuts in turnover.
Huge increases in productivity.

Those are the results reported by the departments of Best Buy that have focused on having people achieve work milestones rather than caring where the employees are when they get the work done. Many hardly ever show up for work.

The focus is on results and for many of the tasks needed completed at the home offices of Best Buy and now they are not.

With the change, employees love working for Best Buy. How do they know? Well when high turnover rates plummet to near 0 that is a pretty good indicator.

I can’t tell you how many times I have counseled CEO’s and Presidents moaning about otherwise outstanding employees not being able to consistently get to work at a prescribed time.My advice always is have clear definition of what needs to be done and when and then leave them alone.

Best Buy’s new rules are:
Don’t waste my time.
Don’t waste your time.
Don’t waste the company’s money.

Good rules!

Does the ultimate flexible schedule work for everyone? Well there are a few jobs where I have not figured it out. For example, I am writing this 40,000 feet in the air and I don’t think airlines can operate with pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and airport support showing up when they feel like it or not at all.

If you have abused your lifestyle and are scheduled for bypass surgery at 7AM in the morning, I don’t think you want to be prepped and then find your doctor decided to sleep in or go play golf.

Buying food at a grocery store or restaurant could be a challenge if the place is not open because people who operate those stores decide to go fishing.

But maybe there is more flexibiliy than what we think. What if there were an extra number of people employed and the staff worked it out. For example: Hey Judy I don’t feel like working this evening could you help me out? Judy says sure and the staffing for the restaurant is fine. The employees worked it out. Now if you are a store manager and you want some coverage the day after Thanksgiving, maybe your thinking is not in sync with the goal.

Before you start with the “but we cannot afford any extra staff” argument I ask you what does your turnover cost you?

I was in a long line at an “Oh My God” fast food restaurant (OK it was Burger King where they suck me in with their purported Angus steak burger that I like – hey Warren Buffet and Bill Gates like the value meal so back off.) To the point! The line was long and since I frequent this particular Burger King while working with a client near there, I cannot help it but I simply ask – what the hell is wrong here? The answer is always the same. This location like a multitude of other locations just like it pay their employees near minimum wage, their turnover is about 3000% a year and their lost sales are about $2,000 per day. By the way that is three quarters of a million dollars. I estimate one location leaves about $200,000 of profit on the table because of turnover and lost sales. I am I right – absolutely.

So Best Buy understand the cost of turnover and they apparently understand the importance of no comprise to achieving defined performance goals. I hope Best Buy continues to have huge success with this program. My only question is from a competitve advantage point of view, I have no idea why they let this program be published by Business Week and others. I would have advised leaving their competitor in a bigger cloud of dust before acknowledging the success of this program.

Be well and prosper,

Pohlit Advises Gurus Wanting To Take Their Business To The Next Level

John Reese announced his plan for income.com He openly discussed his life of opposite extremes. On one side he has all or most of the material possessions that have been his life’s dream. On the other side, he clearly struggles to enjoy life and details the stress of determining which projects and opportunities should receive his attention each morning.

Ken McArthur issues an email to his list discussing this month’s project which is thinking. Ken outlines the issue he and nearly every on line guru is thinking about. What is the next step?

I have operated at the executive level of companies with revenues ranging from $3 million to $1.6 billion. One company I purchased with a partner had annual revenues of $50 million. One of my consulting clients started with one store and today has sales exceeding $12 billion dollars. Currently I spend most of my professional time continuing to work with companies of all sizes helping them achieve their businsess performance potential. These experiences lead to a clear understanding of what is required to take any business to a new and better level of performance.

Before that outline I have to warn you that what you are about to read is considered by most to be frightening. It is frightening not because of what is disclosed but what is required. Here it is!

1. Define what business you are in. I have seen examples recently of well known people deciding to change their business focus. There is nothing wrong with that if there is a clear definition of the business model along with a transition plan from the current model to the new one. Part of that plan must include a backup plan of keeping the engine running in the vehicle that funds the business now until the new engine starts. The new plan should start like the old one didn’t which is with a clear definition of revenue and profit goals.

2. Once defined, there are four (4) A Priority Functional Areas that need to be addressed whether you do it yourself, outsource them or hire staff. In order of importance:

A. Closed Loop Management Information System. This is a process of accounting for the actual performance vs. plan of all key components of your business. Notice this is listed first. Also notice in order for this to work, there needs to be a measurable plan in place at the right level of detail.

B. Business Development or The Engine. This starts with a plan that defines what it is you are marketing, to whom and how you are going to reach them. It also defines the resources required to implement that plan and track variances from plan.

C. Infrastructure Leadership and Accountability. At the infrastructure level of every successful business you will find highly skilled and dedicated people who know what they are expected to do and are rewarded consistently for doing it. They are part of the team and are not independent contractors.

D. An Absolute Fixation on Achieving Revenue and Profit Targets and Optimizing Liquidity (cash).

Currently it takes an average of six months working with a well established company several days every week to get them back on track by teaching them how to achieve the above four foundation pillars. Even when a company goes through that process, 80% of them fail to continue what they learned within one year. The remaining 20% go on to achieve results that place them in the top 10% of their industry. Why do 80% fail? Alot of what is involved in operating a world class business involves following a disciplined management process which is not an attribute ingrained in most entrepreneurs.

Can an entrepreneurial based business that has achieved a notable measure of success go to the next level?

Absolutely!

It all depends on their willingness and commitment to implementing a disciplined approach to running their business. Look at Yahoo, Ebay, Google and many other successful enterprises. These are companies starting with an idea. At some point behind the curtain you will find an executive and executive team who rationalized the business model and maximized the value of that model.

Of all the on line experts I pay attention to, there is only one other person who consistently demonstrates the skills needed to guide those wanting to go to the next level. I define the next level as a currently successful business with revenues of at least $5 million and net profit before tax of 10%. (If your net before tax is less than 10% then you need another consulting toolbox – the “fix it toolkit”).

Wal-Mart is the largest retailer in the world selling everything that everyone else sells. Wal-Mart, Target, and others make it easy and economical for alot of people to buy what they want. Studying the information products, marketing tools and more that are being offered during the tail end of 2006 you find a lot of similarities. It will be interesting to see in the next couple of years what gurus successfully re-engineer their business model to deliver what the entrepreneurial and small business communities really need to achieve their respective business and personal goals. Ones that do, will be at the next level and will have more fun doing it.
