What Come After Business Incorporation
After you have completed the business incorporation process, don't expect that your work is done. Actually, the real work is just starting. Being a corporation means that you are not the center of the business anymore. You have your partners, stockholders, and shareholders to think about. In addition, you have to continue providing service to your clients without a dip in quality. But your first order of business after the business incorporation process is producing your corporate kit.Corporate kits are essential for a start-up incorporated business.

Client testimonials are one of the most powerful marketing tools coaches can use. Did you know that they can help you attract new clients, increase customer confidence and generate a positive “buzz” about you and your services? (Actually, those are just a few of their marketing uses.)

Human nature gives testimonials such power because we love discovering what one person thinks of another – even when it’s positive! It’s the same dynamic that makes gossip so hard to resist. As a professional coach, you want the positive “gossip” that testimonials provide because you can use that information to promote yourself, your services and products, to call attention to your strengths and to distinguish yourself from your competitors.

Testimonials also are powerful because they are first-person accounts: when a client makes a positive statement about you and backs it up with his or her name and contact information, it enhances your credibility.

In addition, written testimonials are fabulously flexible. They can be used powerfully on your website, in printed and electronic promotional materials, following the signature line of your emails and in many other ways and places. Once you have obtained testimonials from your clients, you will think of a hundred ways to use them!

Now that we have established the value of client testimonials, here are a few dos and don’ts to guide you as you obtain and use them to grow your business.

DO let your clients know the benefits to them of providing testimonials that will be used on your website(s), such as:

- increased exposure for their business, thanks to internet serendipity;

- increased website traffic and/or business for them, generated by a link from your website to theirs;

- enhanced standing among search engines, due to more internet exposure; and

- that genuinely warm feeling that comes from helping another “solopreneur”!

DO obtain your clients’ permission to use their full name and email address because it will give their testimonials a great deal more credibility.

Accounts Receivable Outsourcing
Accounts Receivable factoring is a process that enables a small business to sell off its invoices and other Account Receivables to a financing company. The financing company purchases these invoices at a discounted rate, gives the cash to the business and, when the due date of the invoice arrives, it collects the cash from the customer at the face value of the invoice. The company can collect the cash itself or outsource the work to another company that specializes in cash collection services.The Outsourcing company first carries out what can be termed as an image capture.
