Lesson #4: The Name of the Game is Profit or Perish
In Subway’s early days, DeLuca maintained a close watch over all of his expenses, making sure that they were always kept to a minimum. He also made sure that he never ran out of money; he knew that a cash flow crisis was one of the top reasons why businesses failed. He was personally in charge of opening Subway’s first nine stores. But as Subway’s franchises began to multiply and its revenues soar, DeLuca came into a different kind of crisis, one that he had not been ready for.

Business Working with Paranoid People by Valerie Orsoni
If I say: * Work place paranoia * Control freakiness * Aggressiveness * Lack of trust * Refusal to change * Distorted perspective * Intellectual rigidity ...does it ring a bell? These are but a few symptoms of what I call “workplace paranoia”. As we grow in our working environment we are “doomed” to one day be confronted by such paranoid people. Whether it is your boss, your partner, your employee or your assistant, their problematic behavior will inevitably impact yours.

Keep Your Fire Stoked
In so many ways this fire can be compared to a marketing team of professionals. It is nice to sit and watch the fire, watch the flames flicker but soon if you only watch and don’t feed your fire it dies down. You start to feel the chill back in the air. You must get up and put on another log on the fire.

Turning Back Time: Biver’s Watches Make a Comeback
“We bought Blancpain at the end of 1981,” recalls Biver, “and started to develop the brand from zero in 1982 with the concept that we would never make a quartz watch, because we would stick to and develop only and exclusively the traditional watch-making art.”
Twelve Steps to Business or Sales Team Health
They read your watch and tell you the time. Consultants certainly do this. It is a valuable service because we get too bound up in our own operations and lose the ability to read our own watch! In the next several paragraphs I will share the parameters we examine to answer the question, ‘Is this sales and marketing operation in good order?’ You may be responsible for an entire business, a division, department, or only your own sales territory.

At The Risk Of Making Myself Extremely Unpopular!...
Football (Soccer) is a subject that builds great emotion in the heart of the average british male (and some females too). People will happily spend hundreds if not thousands of pounds per year going to watch their favourite team, they buy the latest 'strip', they travel hundreds of miles to watch away games, they pay for Sky TV to watch the best matches live and even travel abroad to watch a match. Football (or Soccer if you are in the US) is a revered sport of gods!

All by ourselves we're going to change all that (yeah right) with some advice to those folks on how they can produce better videos that folks want to watch. If only a few listen maybe you'll want to begin a steady diet of marketing videos. Wouldn't that be great you watch the stuff then you go buy the stuff, the economy gets better, you miss more TV shows, watch more stuff on the Web and the cycle continues till we finally take most governments off life support and they act like responsible citizens...cool !!!!

The Need For Proper Positioning
Sigmund Freud did state that a cigar is a cigar, unless you attach alternate meanings to that ‘fire-stick’. However, in today’s context a watch is not exactly a watch: it is a brand! A brand has a name, and consumers identify with it in an emotional and intellectual way. The way a watch is positioned, dictates its pricing and audience. A product or service can be mainstream, high-end, or for a niche.
