Added for You - Stop Your Employee From Becoming Your Competitor
Traditional brochures typically tell the story of your company, i.e. they give evidence that you or your company have the wherewithal in personnel, capital, clout and expertise to perform the services you say you can perform or deliver the product you're selling. They are usually 3 or 4 panel affairs, printed on glossy paper, and featuring nice graphics or photographs. Think of company brochures as a resume for your business...Thus they are part of your "collateral" package.But do you need a company brochure? Producing a company brochure is often time-consuming and expensive. The money and effort spent creating a company brochure may be better used on another marketing method.Four questions to help you decide if you need a company brochure:1. Do your competitors use company bro

If you want to stay healthy as a business, it is necessary to provide some basic training to your customers on how they should do business with you.Let's look at an example of how we train our customers to create problems for us. Suppose you have a policy of invoicing your customers on the first of the month and your terms are "Due Upon Receipt."Very rarely does a customer drop everything and write a check that moment. A bill that is due upon receipt is already late, so a few more days won't make a big difference. When the customer gets around to writing the check a few weeks later, you deposit it and nothing is said. So your customer understands that you really did not mean "Due Upon Receipt", but rather "Due When You Get Around To It." Businesses that allow a "When You Get Arou
To your disbelief and utter amazement, you realize that you have just wasted the last 2 years of your life. A week or so goes by and you learn that your former employee has started a similar business and there's nothing you can do to stop them. Or is there?
The questions start racing through your mind at light speed. "Why did they just up and quit without notice?" "I thought they liked working here?" "How come I didn't see this coming?" "What could I have done differently?" "Could I have been better prepared for this?"
Then the worst possible thought hits you. "They know all my clients!" "Which clients of mine are they going after?" "Will my customers stick with me or go with the new kid on the block?"
Still confused at their abrupt departure from your employ, you start contacting all of your regular clients. You begin learning that many of them have already been solicited by your former employee. Your fears are confirmed and the pain hits you like a knife in the back.
To add insult to injury the new rates quoted are nearly half what you charge and your clients are wanting some fast answers to your much higher fees. Some thinking that you are gouging them start jumping ship faster than rats on a sinking and burning ship.

In our continuing and seemingly endless series on medical billing of claims via electronic means using NSF 3.01 specifications, we'll be picking up with our review of the GD0 record, which is a generic CMN, starting with field number 18.GD0 field 18, position 61, is the siderails part of bed indicator. This indicator tells the carrier if the bed that the patient owns has siderails attached to it. The key word to this field is owns. The patient must own and not rent the bed, for this to apply. So even if the patient has siderails, if the bed is rented, this field would not be filled with a Y.GD0 field 19, position 62, is owns equipment indicator. This tells the carrier if the patient owns any hospital equipment at all, whether it be a bed, wheelchair or any other item. If the pat

There once was an ugly duckling with feathers all stubby and brown. He didn’t realize he would one day be a swan so any face-to-face marketing technique he ever used ultimately resulted in widespread ridicule. This of course led the duck/swan to venture away from his family (who also considered him a bit of an odd duck).Everywhere the duck went he was ridiculed and chased away from other better established (and finely groomed) business fowl.Then one day while staying at the Blind Pigeon’s Inn he discovered the Internet (free with the weekly rate). The Ugly Duckling had a wealth of work experience in his first few weeks of life so he started a business catering to the camouflage needs of waterfowl during hunting season.Much to his surprise and delight, orders began arriving and

Hold Backs on Regular DeliveriesThere are a lot of great companies that provide Courier Service who are able to provide very dependable Courier Services. However, there are far more not-so-good Courier companies whose practices are unreliable or questionable, and leave you asking "Where is my delivery?" and "When is it going to finally arrive?" Sorry to have to ask, but which type of Courier Company are you using?You might be surprised to know that, the differences between a good Courier Company and a bad one are remarkably simple and easily distinguishable. That is, if one knows some basic fundamentals to efficient and high level transportation service procedures. Learning some of the practices some Couriers use can make all the difference in the world in finding a reliable one; one
Upon examining your options you discover that it's to late. Now you're considering that maybe you should have put together that "Non-Compete"..., "Non-Solicit" ... or "Non-Divulge" contract.
You could of had that individual sign it, before they worked one minute for you. At least that's what some business owners have told you they do. In hind sight that solution now seems fair and reasonable.
Well it's reasonable until you learn that your state, county or city laws no longer allow such binding contracts. Or local laws do not prevent such contracts, but the courts find in favor of your competitor's claims.
Claims that you are preventing them from obtaining gainful employment, that they have trained for, even if it means they have become your newest competitor. Not to mention that your existing clients are not under written contract with you to remain your clients.
If this has happened to you, understand that you are not alone in this. You are but one more in the vicious cycle of abuse, that other businessmen and women have suffered, at the outright betrayal from their so called "Trusted Employees".
So what's a business owner or manager to do? How do you even the playing field without violating the law or swaying a court of law against you? How can you slow down or stop employees from becoming the competition?
With the possibility of "Non-Compete"..., "Non-Solicit" ... or "Non-Divulge" contracts being contested, then the alternative would need to be a contract that cannot be contest
