Live Business Media
Aug 16th
The information superhighway –the internet media – is spreading its wings like never before. The medium offers a level of interactivity and consumer engagement that is incomparable in the industry.
The three live business media include: television, Radio and Internet. All the three have been redefining the world media space in a major way. However, one can’t deny the increasing clout of the internet medium. From being a fringe phenomenon, the internet media has grown into a major force in the recent years. Backed by constant innovations, the industry has been climbing the popularity charts with both big and small businesses zealously trying to climb the internet bandwagon.
When it comes to Radio and Television, their biggest drawback being their geographical restrictions. However, internet marketing medium involves flat marketing, transcending the barriers of location and time. Anyone and everyone running a business can bank on Internet to grow his business. But such is not the case even with Print India. Print media may have ruled the roost a decade back, but today, to put it crudely, newspapers are akin to house flies- here today, gone tomorrow. In fact over 80 percent of the people read it during the first half of the day and then eventually it makes its way to the store room. Magazines, for that matter, have a maximum life-expectancy of one month. Leave alone magazines and newspapers even yellow pages and white pages are considered to be a faded or fading medium.
On the other hand, Internet is being interpreted as hot n’ happening Gen Next medium. It has got all the trappings of a new age business promotional tool. Internet’s growing influence in India is unassailable. According to a recent survey, there are over 60 million net users in India and the count is growing. The most remarkable aspect being: 3 out of 4 internet users (70%) make use of internet on daily basis. The ‘active’ pool of internet users is 32.4 million strong. Another statistics suggest that of the 20 million who read in English, only 5 million are on the net. So there are 15 odd English speaking million Indians who still can be latched on to the internet bandwagon.
The most remarkable aspect being, the popularity of internet media is not confined to just the rich and uber –audience, but it has cut its way across the various socio-economic groups. In fact 55 percent of regular internet users are from the consuming class, 71 percent from Tier-II and Tier-III cities. Almost 82 percent fall in the age group of 19-35 years.

Significance of business email marketing
Billed as the most powerful medium of internet marketing, business e-mail marketing is considered crucial for lead generations. However, most of the businesses are yet to derive maximum leverage from this medium. Here, we have underscored some points which can help businesses make most use of the e-mail marketing services.
While conjuring up an e-mail marketing campaign, pay heed to the human element as well. People normally shy away from excessive promotion or over-hyped mass-produced content. Also, avoid flash, because flash makes the mail look like a mass-marketing content.
The content designed for a b2b email marketing should be both interesting and informative. A bland, banal, boring content would naturally shoo away the visitors. But definitely, to add that touch of extra elegance, dash of colours coupled with different fonts, might probably give you the desired edge.
Targeted email marketing is no doubt high impact, high visibility advertising, however personalizing the emails will take your marketing campaign a notch further. Say, if you know the readers by their names, then start addressing them by their names. It builds an emotional connect and appears decent too. However, avoid repeating the names, as it might be annoying.

Aug 12th
Business consultancy and Business consultants are as varied and dynamic as their client requirements. Business Consultants can be individuals or organisations in the public, private or non-profit sectors and provide professional business consultancy services, skills and in-depth knowledge to solve client problems or meet specific business goals. The expertise of business consultants and business consultancies across many disciplines delivers enhanced economic performance, and in many cases, may have a global impact.
Organizations and companies, big and small, can and should hire services of business consultants for many reasons, including getting external and objective advice, access to the business consultants expertise, or simply as extra one-time temporary assistance during a project, where hiring of permanent and salaried employees is not essential. Due to their exposure to different situations and problems and their relationships with numerous companies and organizations, business consultancies are more aware of an industry’s “Best Practices”.

Aug 9th
Business Risk – he, who dares, wins… right? When making an investment of any kind, one key factor that needs to be looked at is risk versus reward. More importantly, how much risk can you handle? A person’s risk tolerance is closely linked with their willingness to invest.
So what is “risk”? In the context of business, “risk” is a concept that assigns a possible negative impact to an asset or something of value that may arise from some present process or future event. In everyday usage, “risk” is often used with the probability of a known loss.
Here is an example; if I invest my savings into something that could generate a profit for me, what is the possibility that I could loose some of it or even all of it? This is a very simple way of looking at it. For some people, the possibility of even losing 10% might be too much. If it is, clearly the risk is too high. For another person, the risk may be too low and would be prepared to loose all of it for potential profits.
This brings us to the risk versus reward scenario. Risk and reward go hand in hand and the potential reward and the probabilities may be high enough for you to raise your level of risk. In business, there is a constant battle of finding that balance between these two opposing forces.
Generally, the less the reward, the lower the risk and vice versa, although this is not always the case.

I believe there is a time when every business consultant should leave a business. The problem is most consultants refuse to recognise it when the time comes. Many consultants get entrenched in a business and are quite happy to cruise along because they need the fees. It doesn’t matter how good or how experienced the business consultant might be, when it’s time to go, it’s time to go. The first red flag is generally when the business owner feels he or she is no longer receiving more value than cost. Frequently the business consultant should be aware of this situation before the client is.
Sometimes it’s the business consultants call on terminating their contract with a client or business. Typically this manifests every time you raise your fees. i.e. You’ll typically lose approximately 15% of your clients. Successful consultants regularly cull the bottom 15% of their client base as part of their growth strategy. This allows the business consultant to reach out and expand the upper levels of their client base. In its simplest format you cannot expect your business to grow if you retain all your paid clients. You will at best plateau and hit the financial tipping point.
Consultants who work on a daily rate or per-diem are generally practicing their trade. Their aim is to maximise short term cash flow. For sure this statement will have consultants across the four corners of the globe cursing under their breath. I have attended business growth seminars where the guru presenter has told the attendees to work out a billable day matrix. I.e. establish how much annual income they require and then divide it to identify your daily billing rate.
After deducting weekends, bank holidays and individual holidays, approximately 220 billable working days remain in an average year. Deduct 30% of these days for marketing, business promotion and other non revenue generating activities. Then assume a 70% booking rate leaving a total of 154 days to generate revenue. Assume an annual salary requirement of £120,000 which dictates a daily charge out rate of just under £800 per day.

The discovery of Internet is the most dynamic innovation in the history of mankind. No doubt, as in the case of every other single innovation, there is a flip side to it too. However, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
A decade back, internet was almost unheard of. But today, it has emerged as the most powerful tool for men (read: businessmen) throughout the world. Though e-mail and World Wide Web are considered to be the most important constituents of the internet; nonetheless it has emerged as the best business promotional tool of the modern world. News, views from all across the world, shopping, ticket purchase, etc anything and everything is now available at the click of a mouse.
Global Village
The term Global Village typically relates to Internet and the World Wide Web. Physical distance matters no more. The openness of the web has led to the creation of on-line communities that fosters the idea of interaction between various individuals sharing same interests and concerns. Furthermore, the rapid speed of online communication and the facility to read about, spread and react to global news very rapidly makes us concerned about one another, notwithstanding the geographical limitations, thus making us take on global responsibilities. Likewise, web-connected computers help people link their web sites together. This lays the foundation of new sociological structures.

Aug 2nd
As a business consultant at www.businessconsultancyonestopshop.com a lot of HR personnel have been contacting me to find out more about our one stop shop approach to business consultancy. The best way to present my response was to write a brief article titled business consultancy one stop shop, for the owners of www.businessconsultancyonestopshop.com
Dr. Mark D. Yates states, I’ve spent a lot of years directly involved in business consultancy and have always felt unhappy that none of the major or even any of the smaller business consultancy agencies offered a true one stop shop approach to a business consultant.
In this age of advanced technology and internet and e-commerce sales rocketing it’s inconceivable that none of the business consultancy agencies have spotted this niche in the market. Many other business sectors have recognised the need for a one stop shop business concept and have filled the gap by providing this online service to people related to their specific industry.
Dr. Mark Yates from “Business Consultancy One Stop Shop explains that we live in an age that only appears to recognise ‘now’. People, especially every professional business consultant I know has an expectation that they ought to be able to find everything they need for their business consultancy business under the one roof, and they want it from the internet and they want it now.
