Add You - Agreements in Franchising and Confidential Operations Manual And Specifications
Conflicts are inevitable, but the more we know about human nature, the more positive the outcome of a conflict might be for both parties. We know that different people have different priorities and different ways of dealing with situations that may occur, but in general, human beings have certain characteristics that are very similar – even across gender, racial, and socio-economic lines.· People love to be agreed with. · People hate to be disagreed with. · People like other people who agree with them. · People dislike other people who disagree with them. · People who are good at resolving conflicts look for some point of agreement and use good people skills to get others to see a different point of view.So if we know that when we disagree with people, we are likely to raise resentment, it might be a good idea to strengthen our soft-skills – our people skills – when dealing with conflicts or potential conflicts. If we find ourselves in a tense situation, and we raise our voice, the other party is likely to respond in kind. This will usually escalate the situation quickly. Instead, below are SEVEN tips for avoiding and ultimately resolving conflict

Tired of pouring endless money into advertising? Do you wonder which ads are “REALLY” working for the business you manage? Would you like a bullet-proof system for capturing the results from your advertising and marketing? Below are three concepts that will enable you to track your advertising and marketing like a hawk! Really, it’s that simple!Developing a tracking system: As a business owner/executive/manager, you need an efficient way to record and evaluate the results from your advertising and marketing programs. To get started, you will need a “prospect card” which includes a list of ALL the places you advertise and market your company. This prospect card must be current and complete, so your staff will be able to accurately track the results from each advertising/marketing source. Your business should also have a phone log, a summary of the daily and weekly advertising results and a report to summarize the month. Be certain each advertising source you are using has its own column for each report. Often, advertising sources are bunched together in the same category or column on the weekly or monthly recap, making it impossible to track the performance of your adv
I recommend “E-Myth” By Gerber and perhaps this will address some of what I am trying to say. The consistency and integrity of a franchise system and its brand-name rely on a duplicatable method of doing business. The confidential operations manual and it’s specifications must be followed consistently by each franchise outlet. In fact, this issue is so important that I have copied the clause in my franchise company’s franchise agreement, which addresses this issue;

Are you tired of working for someone else? Do you feel that you have a great idea that can be the start of a great business? Do you see opportunities everywhere you look? Well, then, you might just be an entrepreneur.Before you can know if you are cut out to be an entrepreneur, however, you have to understand just what an entrepreneur is. That is not quite as simple as it sounds since the definition has been changing for nearly 100 years!The first definition was simply someone who invented something. Eventually it turned into someone who owned a business. Neither one of these definitions really got to the heart of entrepreneurship. The best definition I have found, and the one used most often today is this:Someone who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks for a business or enterprise. This description shows that not only does a person “invent” something, but that they see the opportunity and build a business around it. An entrepreneur has a vision and builds around this vision.Debunking Entrepreneurial MythsNot only have definitions been changing, many myths have been flying! There are many myths associated with what it takes

Companies come and go. So do brands and promotional memorabilia. Interestingly, though sometimes a logo becomes so cherished it can actually last longer than the actual company who produced it. When this happens, it is an indication of serious feelings of customer goodwill, employee satisfaction, and positive associations in general.People become nostalgic. They collect memorabilia of deceased companies. Such items are like keepsakes. Companies that disappear have employees that value the insignia of their place of employment. They have happy customers who enjoyed their interactions with a trusted name. And, there are executives and officials who have pride toward a successful creation.Surviving memorabilia ranges from tiny trinkets given out the general public, to achievement awards bestowed upon hard working staff such as pins, trophies, lapels, and other items. There are a wealth of other memorable items like golf balls, coffee mugs, and pens that outlive a business. In the beginning, they were created to build loyalty to the brand and more or less for business and marketing purposes. Yet, often times, these items assume characteristics of warm memories late

Financial Security is a false concept that developed in American society based on the idea that security comes from the perceived reliability of a regular or planned paycheck. Many people, believing in the commitment of their corporations to their well-being, have found themselves downsized, layed-off, outsourced, transferred, or, in some cases, even fired. The immediate reality becomes harshly apparent and sadly disappointing.The bottom line is that Corporate America will always be focused on the bottom line. As a dependent corporate employee, you are subject to the whims of the corporation. You have absolutely no control over how much you earn, where you work, the longevity and reliability of your income, or your position. You are simply a number. At any given moment, some nameless pencil-pushing number-cruncher, can deem that you are no longer an asset to the company and, rather, have become a liability. At any given moment, it can be deemed that you no longer factor into the profitability of the corporation - and your OUT. They don't care if you have a mortgage to pay, 3 kids in college or a new shiny car with a hefty payment. They don't care that you've come in early for t

The phone interview is typically used by hiring managers to screen possible job candidates rather than having to invite all of them in for longer face to face interviews.The phone interview is used to then cull the list of potential candidates down to a smaller group of people who meet certain criteria and appear to be suitable for the job.In my experience, employers who I've worked with who utilize phone interviews often do so for two main reasons.First they might be the type of hiring manager who for whatever reason likes to start with a large group of potential candidates and then quickly go through the list to identify a smaller group that they want to interview face to face in more detail.Secondly, hiring managers often utilize the phone interview as a method of interviewing out of town candidates who don't live in the same city (or state/province/country) as the hiring company.When you have a phone interview set up you need to keep a few things in mind:The person interviewing you can't see you (and you obviously can't see them either) so remember that they are judging not only what you say, but how you say
