Relocate for cost reasons or to access qualified employees or support?
| |
| It is certainly possible for a business to cost justify another facility, instead of or in addition to, in order to gain access to qualified employees, specialized vendors, or support; to optimize location-sensitive costs, community incentive / tax combination, and regulatory climate.
In addition to this informative article, my Amazon book, Facility Relocation, Merger and Design, provides both management suggestions and hands-on guidance for this management strategy.

Merger or consolidation; facility actions help it succeed
| |
| Merge or consolidate to concentrate resources for successful operation; use economies of scale to minimize cost.
But don’t overlook facilities and operation, where all the plans and expectations must come together or the new entity won’t function.
In any economy, especially this one, consolidation or merger can make economic and strategic sense. First plan, and later integrate, equipment, processes and facilities properly because they affect not only the balance sheet but also future P&L results of the entity.

Introduction to Self Storage

Consultants Can Be Scary but Do They Provide Value
| |
| As a CEO before I became a consultant ten years ago I had very little time for consultants and did not have a high opinion of them. One of the things that always stuck in my craw - and still does for that matter -- is to see a consultant conduct sales training that never actually carried a bag themselves. Some have very little if any experience in the field as an outside sales person. Even more concerning is to watch a consultant give leadership or business acumen advice when that consultant never had to meet a payroll or run a company personally.
Consultants can provide real value on many occasions but they can also be your worst nightmare. |

Are you using the right terms and conditions for your shopping cart?
| |
| If you have an e-commerce facility on your website then you will know that your bank requires you to have terms and conditions for its use. But what many business owners do is simply use their standard trading conditions in conjunction with the e-commerce facility. That’s fine but having an e-commerce facility creates its own unique issues which won’t be covered by your normal terms of trade. |
