Pure FX Warn Over The Continuing Fluctuations In Sterling And The Currency Exchange Market

March 4th, 2010

Buckinghamshire, England (February 26, 2010)Pure FX, a specialist firm offering cost effective currency transfer services, are warning about the progressive uncertainty around sterling rates and continuing fluctuations surrounding the currency market.

August 2009 saw the Bank of England injecting financial stimulus and quantitative easing measures into the economy to ease the recession causing fluctuating foreign exchange rates in the market and seeing the pound weaken. Though the markets have since steadied to a degree, sterling continues to oscillate against other currencies as the economy struggles to grow.

With the long term effects of the recession still unknown, mortgage lenders and banks are still reluctant to offer loans to clients and the rise in VAT has also had an effect on the public’s shopping habits. Whether the United Kingdom can continue to stave off recession and keep it at bay for another financial quarter remains to be seen. Regardless of this Pure FX are confident they can offer the best money transfer rates in such uncertain times and also clients have the option of fixing exchange rates.

“People are still worried about getting the best value for money when they are looking at foreign exchange, and they have every right to in such a volatile market,” says James Roberts of Pure FX. “However, we at Pure FX can put customers at ease and provide them with the best currency exchange rates available. The pound will no doubt see its strength and dominance return over time, and we’re confident that the markets will see stability sooner rather than later.”

BiGDUG Suggest Buying Melamine Shelving Now To Beat The Tax Year End

February 12th, 2010

Gloucestershire, Feb 05 2010 - BiGDUG, one of the UK’s top suppliers of heavy duty shelving solutions, has announced great savings on their range of Melamine shelves and racking. The end of the tax year is the perfect time for businesses to be spending their capital budgets – and BiGDUG believe that their Melamine shelving is the perfect investment.

No matter what business you run or what industry you’re in, you’re going to need shelving and storage. BiGDUG are leading suppliers of commercial and domestic shelving in the UK. Their Melamine shelving units are just one of many top selling lines representing fantastic value for money. Maxi racking with shelves withstands loads of up to 600kg per level, and has a whole range of extra features, such as quick boltless assembly and C-section beams for extra strength.

The Maxi range starts at just £129 for a 2000 x 1500 x 450 rack with shelves – a price that significantly undercuts their main rival. The easy-to-clean shelves, robust assembly and heavy-duty load-bearing capacity make them ideal for a wide range of industrial and domestic uses.

BiGDUG believe that there’s another reason to invest in Maxi shelving now, because the end of the tax year is fast approaching. Small businesses need to ensure they’ve completed their capital expenditure before the end of the financial year. Spending their capital budget before the trading year end could make a substantial difference to their profits. Company tax allowances are complicated to explain, but basically the more you invest now, the more you can claim back later.

“Our Maxi shelving racks offers much more than just extra storage space,” commented Doug Nourse. “It offers a way to maximise your profits still further. Capital expenditure covers everything – including investment in the premises itself. Our shelving solutions mean you can free up a room for redecorating, lay new flooring or even have a complete refit.”


Established in 2004, BiGDUG offer high quality storage products including shelving, racking and accessories, which all meet EU quality standards and are backed by BiGDUG’s satisfaction guarantee. BiGDUG also use their own distribution centre to ensure swift delivery, shipping thousands of parcels every week across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

PANLEGIS to enter the German market

February 5th, 2010

Scandinavia’s largest company formation agent, PANLEGIS Group, is entering the German market. PANLEGIS, well known for its creative marketing campaigns, has over the last few years grown into the largest formation agent in Norway and Sweden. Now the company is planning to add Germany to it’s list of conquests, adding German branches of UK companies and German KG companies to their range of formation products.

Claes Zangenberg, executive chairman of PANLEGIS and author of several best selling legal handbooks such as UK BUSINESS BANKING, says entering into the German market is a natural step for PANLEGIS. ‘Many products are technically similar to the products we are offering in Scandinavia, and obviously the German market has a huge potential for further development’, Zangenberg said in a statement. Both Ltd co KG and German branches of UK ltd companies have become increasingly popular in Germany over the last few years. German company law is traditionally conservative and long-winded, and many entrepreneurs and businesses have seized the opportunity to form foreign company structures to simplify operations and reduce costs.

With 40,000 such companies in Germany already, traditional German company types, such as GmbH and sole proprieties are looking increasingly old fashioned. German authorities have tried to make national company types more attractive by the introduction of a GmbH-light, requiring less share capital, but the growth of foreign company structures has continued. The increase in cross border company formations seems to be a trend that will continue, both in Germany and the rest of Europe – helped by modern legal businesses like PANLEGIS.

How to Make Money Online Free Regardless of Economy

February 4th, 2010

Oro Organization, LLC, provides easy option for extra money

While a great deal of online offers to help you make money are nothing more than scams designed to make money from you, some websites do offer a legitimate way to make extra money that doesn’t depend on people’s skills, education or the job market. Oro Organization, LLC, lead generation experts that partnered with FusionCash, Inc. in December of 2009, has provided one such option about how to make money online free at the resulting website umakemoneyonlinefree.com.

The website offers the opportunity for members to make extra money, and offers hope for those who are having trouble earning in any other way. Whether someone stays at home, is just trying to find that first job or is between jobs in this troubled economy, the website offers the same opportunities to everyone–the ability to make money in a completely legitimate and risk-free way.

It was important to Oro Organization, LLC, to provide this means of income generation for its members to give people an opportunity to avoid scams and schemes that seem to separate so many people from their money. Internet schemes frequently prey on people who don’t have much money to lose by promising wealth and riches in record time. Oro’s website umakemoneyonlinfree.com doesn’t make any such pie-in-the-sky promises, however.

You won’t find those claims because the opportunity isn’t designed to replace an income. Rather it’s a way for someone to make some extra money right from home. How much can be made depends mostly on the member’s preferences about which surveys and offers to participate in. But the company stresses that no fees are charged to become a member, and you won’t have to provide a credit card number to learn how to make money online free at their website.

Industry Spotlight: Aerospace Subcontracting in France Creating Investment Opportunities (A007)

AEROSPACE SUBCONTRACTING IN FRANCE: NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOREIGN INVESTORS

Chicago, January 29, 2010 (word count: 545)
With nearly €37 billion ($52 billion USD) in sales, and €2.4 billion  ($3.4 billion USD) in R&D spending, French aviation has long been a power player within the aerospace industry. Additionally, France’s aerospace subcontracting industry generates more than €10 billion in sales, provides jobs for 80,000 people and encompasses a broad range of specialized equipment manufacturing. However, given that 40 percent of Airbus A-380 components are produced in the United States, international collaboration is essential to the sector.

“France boasts a network of companies specializing in producing Europe’s leading aerospace equipment, thanks to the longstanding presence of Airbus and the recent creation of cooperative organizations, innovation clusters and alliances. This ability to pool expertise is a key factor in France’s appeal to foreign investors,” observes David Appia, Chairman and CEO of the Invest in France Agency.

Partnership Trends for Tomorrow’s Technology
Recent alliances forged between small to medium-sized companies (SMEs) in the aerospace subcontracting industry have resulted in a growing number of companies joining forces. At the most recent International Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, for example, SMEs such as Meca’Com, AeroTeam, Induxial and Ingéliance held a joint exhibition.

Technologies of the future are of vital importance to aerospace subcontracting. The aviation industry increasingly relies on composite materials, especially polymer materials used to develop new wing technologies for next-generation aircraft.  More companies are choosing to develop their latest technologies in France. The Japanese company Toray, for example, has opened Toray Films Europe, a new facility devoted to producing biaxially oriented polypropylene film previously manufactured in the United States. On October 1, 2009, the aerospace subcontractor Spirit AeroSystems, headquartered in the U.S., began constructing an assembly plant for composite components in Montoir-de-Bretagne, in the Loire-Atlantique département – an investment amounting to several tens of millions of euros.

Expanding Opportunities While Going Green
The sustainable development goals set for the air transportation sector under the Act of August 3, 2009 (“Grenelle I”), which specifies the measures to be implemented as a result of the French Environmental Round Table Talks (“Grenelle de l’environnement”), include reducing fuel consumption by 50% per passenger-kilometer, reducing carbon monoxide emissions by 80%, and halving noise pollution by the year 2020. The new technological challenges generated by these environmental requirements are expected to stimulate research and development.

Innovation Attracting Leaders from Around the Globe
Innovation clusters provide further advantages and make an important contribution towards aerospace research and development. 94,000 people, including 8,500 in research positions, work in Aerospace Valley (Aquitaine and Midi-Pyrénées regions) which is home to a large number of major international companies including EADS, Freescale Semiconductors, Goodrich, Honeywell, Rockwell Collins and Siemens. Companies in the ASTech Paris Région cluster (Ile-de-France) employ 100,000 people, accounting for the majority of R&D jobs in the French aerospace industry, and count major players among their number such as Dassault Aviation, Safran and Astrium. 35,000 people, 30% of whom are in research positions, work in the Pégase cluster (Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur region), which brings together more than 250 aerospace companies.

About Invest in France:
The Invest in France Agency (IFA) promotes and facilitates international investment in France. The IFA network operates worldwide. The IFA works in partnership with regional development agencies to offer international investors business opportunities and customized services all over France.

SalesNexus releases “Why CRMs Fail and What To Do About It”

January 28th, 2010

HOUSTON – SalesNexus releases “Why CRMs Fail and What To Do About It”

SalesNexus today released “Why CRMs Fail and What To Do About It” on its blog, Sell, Sell, Sell!, a expose of how CRM vendors set small businesses up for failure and what small and medium sized businesses can do to ensure CRM success.

“The sad truth is that half of CRM solutions fail to meet management expectations.”, said Craig Klein, SalesNexus CEO and Founder. “We believe that its completely unavoidable. We decided to map out what to watch out for and what to do in order to achieve CRM success”

“Why CRMs Fail and What To Do About It” focuses on how the traditional model of CRM vendor selection, CRM consultants and VARs are setting most small and medium sized businesses up for failure when they implement new CRM systems. The article also provides specific steps to align CRM expectations of all involved parties and select the best fit CRM technology.

“By its nature, CRM touches many roles within a company. Each group has varying expectations. At SalesNexus, we’ve developed a simple and effective method to ensure all CRM users get what they’re after.”, said Klein.

“Why CRMs Fail and What To Do About It” is available here - http://sellsellsell.salesnexus.com/2010/01/15/why-crms-fail-and-what-to-do-about-it/

How to Make Money Online for Free or Not

January 28th, 2010

Oro Organization, LLC, warns of offers that require payment.

Oro Organization, LLC, a top lead generation and search marketing company warns surfers to avoid those money-making plans that require a payment up front. They partnered with FusionCash, INC. in late 2009 to set up the website umakemoneyonlinefree.com where members are shown how to make money online for free without having to pay a fee or provide any kind of payment information or credit card number. The website warns that surfers should avoid those offers that require a payment or a credit card to join.

Oro Organization took part in creating this website specifically to provide a legitimate money-making opportunity for people interested in earning extra cash. Through their lead generation and search marketing skills they’re able to attract advertisers looking to expand their customer base and find out what consumers like and dislike about certain products. By tapping into the advertisers’ needs for more customers and more valuable consumer information, Oro Organization is able to pay members for providing that information.

In addition to the website that shows people how to make money online for free, they offer information about other types of opportunities and what to avoid. Any money-making plans that require a payment, for instance, are plans the website warns surfers away from. Plans that commonly charge fees for you join generate their income from membership fees, and encourage other members to sign up more members. This becomes a pyramid scheme in which members can only make money through the fees paid by others, and is something to avoid if you want to make money online for free.

The site also cautions against offers that require a credit card number for any reason, to avoid being charged for a fee that might be hidden somewhere in the fine print.

Southern Plains Land Co. LLC, is frequently asked to calculate a potential Net Return on Investment in Land for Sale.

January 7th, 2010

Texas & Oklahoma Land Brokerage Company, Southern Plains Land has noticed a return back to Agribusiness interest from buyers on Ranches & Farms for Sale. For a few years there, buyers only seemed to care about how pretty ranches for sale were. That seems to have cooled down some and now serious land buyers nearly always ask “what will it return”. The mentality of Agribusiness seems to be prevailing over the mentality of “Honey, it’s so beautiful”.

“Today, we are nearly always asked if a ranch or farm for sale will ‘make any money’ in today’s market of cautious buyers”, says Rancher, Farmer and co-owner of Southern Plains Land Co., Kalin Flournoy. “The recreational view of ranches for sale has simmered down considerably since about December of 2007. Today’s Ranch buyers are returning more toward the views they had prior to 2003 – 2004 as the practice of land flipping has nearly ended and the ideal of sitting on the porch of a magnificent home overlooking a beautiful hollow occupied by pecan trees and cattle, with money just appearing from thin air has waned”, said Flournoy.

Though ranching and farming is considered to be a life style by many, like investors, even owner-operators are focusing more on the Agribusiness side than just the sheer beauty of ranches for sale. Most of our buyers are from out of state and depend heavily on a Land Broker’s working knowledge for the investment return of a ranch or farm for sale. In the last few years, every Real Estate Agent wanted to be a Land Broker, whether they had any real knowledge of ranching or farming or not and some of the calculations on the stocking capacity of many ranches for sale have been disappointing for buyers and in some cases utterly disastrous, according to Flournoy.

“Few land owners today, have ever had to draw their entire living from a farm or ranch and like most Land Brokers, they tend to exaggerate its potential net return on investment, especially on a cattle ranch. In many cases buyers expect a Land Broker to calculate a realistic return on a ranch or farm for sale. Very few Land Brokers have the working experience and knowledge to calculate the realistic net return of a ranch or farm”, said Flournoy.

This is the fourth and final installment in a series of 4 articles each one focusing on a key reason that basic contact management systems like ACT! and Outlook are keeping your business from reaching the heights of success you’re striving for. To see the complete compilation of 4 reasons ACT! and Outlook are holding your business back and what to do about, visit http://www.salesnexus.com/resources.php

Reason #4 that ACT! or Outlook or whatever technology you’ve tried are not working for you:

There’s virtually no support. So now we’re past whether the system is up and running properly. We’re talking about whether each individual can figure out how to do what they need to do, day in and day out? Who’s going to answer those questions every day? Is there a guru on your staff that can respond immediately to questions from your sales team about how to do this and that in your contact management system? If not, calling ACT! or Microsoft to find out is not something you want your sales team sitting through. So things stall. Business has to go on and the users go back to doing it the old fashioned way.

You need someone that’s in tune with your business, that knows how you work and responds on your time, not their own.

Tip #7 – you’re going to need someone to be your “go to guy”. This could be your in house administrative or IT person. You need to make sure they make a priority of responding to problems and questions from the rest of your staff. Whether it’s a staff member, your contract IT person or a vendor, take the time to bring them up to speed on what workflows are crucial for your people all day every day.

Remember, this does not need to be expensive or extremely time consuming. The toughest thing to do is to decide exactly what your people should do to capture, document and share vital information day in and day out.

If figuring that out is where you’re stuck, I recommend trying to do it with the resources you have at hand. There will be some trial and error. Best to work through that without spending a bunch of money.

Once you understand the steps involved in each employee’s key workflows, you may find that you can make your current technology work. If not, you’ll know exactly what capabilities you need to shop for.

That transition doesn’t have to be painful. Don’t look for the technology to create the process for you. You need to decide what processes will make you most competitive. Then find technology that automates them.

Getting your staff members on board and motivated to share information is the key. Be sure to check out my blog,  Sell, Sell, Sell! for plenty of tips and advice on getting the people part of contact management right.

Craig Klein releases 2nd Reason popular contact management solutions like ACT! and Outlook are holding your business back

How to Make the Competition Look Like Chumps Without Spending a Mint  – by Craig Klein

Fast,effective response to your customers’ needs is crucial in today’s highly competitive and information based economy. Millions of small and medium sized businesses still rely on very basic customer information solutions for this mission critical function.

This is the second installment in a series of 4 articles each one focusing on a key reason that basic contact management systems like ACT! and Outlook are keeping your business from reaching the heights of success you’re striving for. In subsequent releases, we’ll focus on 2 additional reasons ACT! and Outlook are holding you back and provide simple and effective tips for breaking these barriers.

Reason #2 that ACT! or Outlook or whatever technology you’ve tried are not working for you:

You’re telling stories, not sharing facts.

When most companies start using a contact management system like ACT! or Outlook, they’re trying to minimize the disruption to the team so they simplify the requirements. Something like “Just keep the contact information up to date and put in a note about the calls and meetings you have.”

That sounds simple and easy. Why wouldn’t anyone play ball when the rules are so accommodating?

Because those same people don’t get anything truly useful back out of a system like that!

Think about it. If you get a call from a customer and they tell you that they spoke with your inside sales person yesterday and got a quote for this and that. If you lookup the customer in your contact management system and see a 3 paragraph note, entered by your inside sales person, describing what the customer asked about and what they were told, you can’t really use that information in real time. You’re not going to put the customer on hold so you can read the inside sales person’s notes. So, at that moment, you’re probably not feeling like this contact management system is the best thing since sliced bread. This doesn’t make you feel like that extra minute or two is worthwhile the next time you have some information to put into the contact management system. You know no one is really going to use it. Its too difficult to digest.

Tip #2 – make it easy to record information quickly, in the form of simple objective facts. Long tomes in the notes are the least valuable way to record information. They’re too hard to digest and use. You want someone else who has never spoken with that particular customer to be able to look at their information and in less than 30 seconds, know essentially everything there is to know about that customer.

You can do this with a little bit of thought and just about any kind of technology.

Tip #3 –figure out what you need to know about your customers before you start worrying about how you’re going to capture and organize it with technology. What you need is a list of simple questions with simple answers that you can ask any customer get short answers.

In every business there are 5 to 10 questions that you have to have answers to before you know if a prospect is “qualified”. Some of them are obvious:

• Am I talking to someone that can make the decision to spend money?

• Does this person have the money available?

• Is their need great enough to justify the expense?

• Which competitor are they using now?

Tip #4 – boil the potential answers down to simple facts. Envision a call sheet that your sales reps might bring with them on paper when meeting with prospects. Each question would be followed by the most common answers so that the rep can simply check off or circle those that apply.

That’s what we’re working toward in your contact management system! This is the only way we’re going to empower quick and easy input of information and rapid access and use of the information.

It only takes one or two experiences in which a sales rep looks up someone they haven’t spoken to recently and sees all this vital information staring them in the face in an easily understandable form. They’re hooked. Now they’re invested in making it work!

And best of all, adding these questions and answers to your contact management system in the form of simple fields with drop down lists is easy. If its not, you’ve spend too much money on your technology!

Tip #5 – start recording proposals, contracts, agreements, etc.in the contact management system so everyone can get to them immediately. This is pretty basic functionality for most systems. In fact, you don’t even need a real contact management system for this. All you need is some $25/month shared drive on the Internet. As above, you’ve just got to make it easy for everyone to do their job and get the information attached to the database.

Are you ready for a promotional item that is made from 100% recycled and odorless paper made from elephant poo?  One example of the many new and unique promotional items is the 6″ x 8″ Elephant Poo Poo Paper (TM) notebook with hard cover and 32 blank sheets

When your clients write in their notepad, have them use your pen manufactured from corn starch rather than petroleum. It is made of biodegradable organic materials and comes in many colors ready for your imprint.

Or choose a pencil that will help safeguard the environment. Made from 75% recycled paper and 25% new paper, this is an ecologically sound investment in our future.

If it is time to offer a business promotional product distinct from your run-of-the-mill coffee cup, what could be better than a microwave safe, coffee mug made from 100% U.S. corn plastic biodegradable and available in 6 great colors?

To complete your promotional product table setting, there are microwave safe 4″ round plates also made from corn plastic, an environmentally friendly alternative plastic that helps relieve U.S. dependency on foreign energy and is based on a renewable U.S. agriculture product

When it is time to offer promotional products with a sports theme, biodegradable golf tees, derived from renewable resources, in a variety of colors, and golf balls made with recycled rubber will make your company stand out as a eco promotional product company.

And don’t think candy, a classic tradeshow giveaway, isn’t available as an eco promotional product!  Boxes of mini chicklets, along with other types of treats, are now packaged in eco friendly, biodegradable boxes that can be printed on five sides with magazine quality printing. It is great as a tradeshow giveaway or new product promotion.

Bill Litton, President of IASpromotes.com has seen a huge spike in the amount and variety of eco-friendly promotional items. “We now offer more than 20,000 exciting promotional products of this type.”

“I believe we are at the point that eco-friendly promotional products can complement an entire corporate branding program from A to Z… from corporate apparel to promotional backpacks…from promotional caps to promotional t-shirts, promotional tote bags, tradeshow giveaways, promotional bottles, and in general, all business promotional products.”

“Further, advertising using eco promotional products has been shown to generate a very powerful good-will effort, even greater than traditional promotional items.”

Mr. Litton concluded, “I am proud to say IASpromotes.com carries the most comprehensive range of eco promotional products in the market.”
