    Does a translated document help in decision-making that can lead to boosting sales?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 01:02 AM PDT

    I was exploring a new way to market a business, and just saw a webpage where the following has been mentioned:

    Global businesses and MNCs rely on business translation of reports and documents to boost sales, communicate, and manage day-to-day operations. (source)

    Does a translated document help in decision-making that can lead to boosting sales?

    If so, I have to formulate tactics accordingly moving forward.

    Business education? How to and is it worth it?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 09:54 PM PDT

    I'm not sure what the best route is for getting into the business field. I have 2 arts degrees and I'm completing a masters. After finding out that I no longer want to participate in academia I've decided to pursue business instead. I worked as an admin assistant during my first degree for 6 years, so I have a little bit of experience. But where do I go from here? Do I apply for an MBA? Do I get an associate certificate? I want to get the basics and then work my way up. I'm not interested in accounting, but financial planning and development. I've tried looking for internships but nothing yet. What do you all suggest?

    My Father wants to retire and I buy/take over his company. I already have my own company doing the same industry (General Contractor/Builder). I need advice for how best to go about this as I’ve never bought/absorbed a business before.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 10:22 PM PDT

    We're both Contractors who live and work in the same area of town (Portland Oregon) and we do the same kind of projects.

    My mom has been diagnosed with dementia. It's not bad yet, she's still herself but he wants to retire to spend the remaining time she has together making memories, plus as time goes by she will need more and more care.

    He has some stocks and their home but not really enough to retire comfortably on. I'm the most financially sound of their children plus his business makes sense for me to absorb. I know they'll likely need financial help from me anyway at some point so this makes it make sense to add his previous revenue to my company and then it's not just a hand out to my dad which is how he'd have seen any financial help as.

    What I'm not sure about is all the details. I'm an LLC. He's a sole proprietor. His license is very old and it's a prestigious number. One of the oldest still in business. Mine obviously is the one that would stay active I'd think. I'd like to find a way to keep his number.

    How do we even figure out the value of his company? He gets most of his business from Angie's list. He pays for some advertising and has put a lot of effort into cultivating it. He has 123 straight A grades with no Grades other than As. That is very valuable.

    But he is also on every job himself, which he no longer would be. A part of what his clientele hired him for was that they had my Dad himself on the job the whole time. They liked seeing him every day and having the guy they hired be the same guy who does the actual work.

    My company is a little larger than my dads and I'm not in the field 100% of the time. I run jobs and do all the estimating/paperwork but I may not be there every day. I have a few reports on Angie's list as well but it's not something I made any effort with so I have a few, all As as well but I don't get jobs from Angie's I get them all from word of mouth.

    I wouldn't be getting any sort of loan or financing to give my dad. We're talking about monthly payments but even those we're unsure of how to base or structure. He's concerned with asking too much from me or putting me into a bad position. I hate the thought of that too but it still makes the most sense we think unless he could sell the business for a good amount.

    If anyone has any experience with situations similar or deal with this sort of thing for a living I'd appreciate your advice.

    Thanks!

    Starting a Photography business

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 07:34 PM PDT

    So for the last few years I have been building my skill in photography and now have thought about the idea of starting my own business of taking photos of people for small events and portraits.

    In doing so I have a list of things I need before I start my endeavor:

    -Camera

    - Logo

    -Website

    -Business cards

    -Memory cards

    -External flash and diffuser

    -Contracts for clients

    ​

    Are there any things I would need to cover other than this? I know there are, I'm just at a blank.

    CFPB and UDAAP (Abusive Power) - Research Assistance

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 03:30 PM PDT

    Hi all. I'm not sure if this can be posted, but I figured I'd try anyway.

    ​

    I'm writing a paper analyzing the enforcement actions of the CFPB under the abusive power. That part of the paper is completed for the most part. The second part of the paper analyzes support/opposition to proposed rulemaking to further define the abusive power.

    ​

    While support for rulemaking is easy to find (as well as those that think the entire abusive power is irrelevant), I'm having trouble finding articles or other news sources relating to those that support the broad abusive power the CFPB has.

    ​

    I've discovered a few (like very few) and was wondering if anyone could share more. They can be blog posts, popular press, websites, or anything other.

    Trying to expand my father's business

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 06:25 AM PDT

    Hello People,

    Let me start off by saying that this is not a self promotion by any chance and I am genuinely looking for some answers that could help me further my knowledge and eventually get a guiding path towards my goal.

    With that being said, my father owns a manufacturing company that manufactures Switch Plates, LED Lights and Copper Wires based in India. Business is going as per usual there but now that i have come of age, he is expecting me to join and expand the business to different countries. I moved to Canada to pursue my college and have been working with a Finance company since my graduation. I have also been looking to meet electrical dealers and distributors to show them the Switch Plates I have made for US and Canadian markets but wasn't successful, reason being that the market in North America is dominated by two big companies Leviton and Lutron. They have maximum share of the market across these two countries and does not allow new companies to flourish.

    I want to expand into these two countries because I see potential. Wherever I go no matter how expensive the house is you ll see a boring white or off white switch plates hanging on the wall. I want to change that. I have made samples of switch plates in different colors with better designs that look far more aesthetic than the regular plates.

    ​

    So basically my question to you fellow business men and entrepreneurs is:

    ​

    1) Do you think it would be wise for me to compete with these two monopoly when i see various switchplate startups fail with in 6 month because of lack of demand?

    ​

    2) Where should I start?

    ​

    3) As I have manufacturing capabilities, should I consider aiming OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) for these two brands as I can get plates made way cheaper and I wont have marketing/sales pressure?

    ​

    I am sorry if i couldn't articulate myself properly, this is my first time i am making a post like this and did not know how to professionally present my thoughts and ideas to you people.

    ​

    Message me to see the switch plates samples I have made for North American Market.

    ​

    Thank you!

    grow up your business with Facebook and Email marketing

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 03:52 AM PDT

    Today i will share a simple but effective tips that can be increase your business.So i found an idea about facebook and email marketing.

    You can get your targeted traffic from facebook. Facebook can be an awesome way to share content, engage with your followers, and build your brand. They're also powerful tools for growing your email list. When running a group is part of your marketing strategy, getting email leads from your group is important for several reasons, the most critical being that you don't own your Facebook group. Facebook does.

    What I played around with:

    **Extract users and find their email from a fb group

    **Extract users who liked a post/video of your competitors fb page

    **Extract users, job and role from linkedin groups

    Relying solely on a Facebook group for interacting with members is risky because Facebook can ban your account or shut down your group anytime. Although Facebook doesn't ban groups or accounts often, a more likely risk is that Facebook could throttle your group's organic reach. Many group owners (myself included) have noticed Facebook favoring paid traffic over groups' organic reach.

    With these risks in mind, I suggest you plan your audience growth around the worst-case scenario and focus on growing something you own. When you collect email addresses to build your list, you own that list.

    Also, when you have someone's email address in addition to their group membership, you increase the chances they will see your content and promotions. Although many group members don't participate in the groups they join, these people might still be interested in you, and your content and products.

    Tip: To gather email leads from Facebook , you only need a few tools that most marketers already have: email marketing software and a landing page to deliver a lead magnet to your followers. For email software, I use **Mailbiz, but dozens of other good options are available.

    When you develop your lead magnets, remember that they're not just about getting emails. They're a chance to build a relationship with your group members and give them some real value right out of the gate, increasing the likelihood they'll become lifelong fans and possible future customers.

    Step 2- Put your Targeted (group,page, or profile) id and press Extract

    Step 3- Finally Download the file as .csv or whatever you want.

    This is the First and Best Way to extract email,address and phone from number facebook.

    2: Post Links to a Lead Generation Page

    The 2nd one known as the straightforward tactic, you post something to your group that very clearly requires members to share an email address to opt in. For instance, people who are familiar with online offers for freebies, like this vector designs offer, will expect to enter their email address to receive the image files:

    Although this method works well, group members are often hesitant to click overly salesy posts. To avoid this issue, try a slightly less direct approach: share a blog post, video, or other content that leads to an email opt-in. With this indirect approach, conversion rates are often much higher than a direct link in a group. Plus, members can share your content, which increases engagement.

    Share a blog post, video, or other content that leads to an email opt-in.

    To build your email list, you need to regularly post things that turn your group members into email subscribers or help you better segment existing subscribers. Each month, post a mix of lead magnets, quizzes, surveys, webinars, blog posts, contests, videos, and so on. The more types of lead generators you use, the more members you'll convert.

    To help you post more consistently, Facebook allows admins to schedule group posts, so you can plan these promotions in advance. Alternatively, you can choose from many third-party tools like IFTTT, Buffer, CoSchedule, and Hootsuite that allow you to schedule posts far in advance.

    With all of these posts, you need a reliable tracking system in place so you know what posts work best for your audience. A link shortener such as Bitly, Sniply, or Clkim is an easy way to make your links easier to track because most of these tools provide some sort of trackability. Although these tools are called "link shorteners," the shorter links are almost secondary to the tracking capability.

    If your group is very active, your posts can quickly become buried amid all the other activity. In addition to posting frequently, you can also pin your post with the lead-generating link to make sure group members see the post. Also, try marking it as an announcement. To do that, click the three dots in the upper right of the post and choose Mark As Announcement from the menu that appears.

    Last but not least, with the Facebook pixel installed, you can make sure group members see your lead-generating posts by retargeting group members with ads that highlight the post. The ability to use the Facebook pixel with groups is a new feature in 2018, and it's easy to use. With your ads, you can encourage people to sign up for your freebie.

    3: Add a Call to Action in the Facebook Group Description

    The group description is another piece of group real estate that you can use to collect email addresses from people interested in your group. Although this description isn't as visible as the cover image, there's no harm in adding a lead-generating link to it.

    The cool thing about this tactic is that even people who aren't in your group will see the link to the lead magnet because the link appears publicly. In other words, you create the opportunity to gather leads from people even if they don't join the group.

    The group description is another piece of group real estate that you can use to collect email addresses from people interested in your Facebook group.

    After your efforts start to build your email list, make sure you email your new subscribers right away while you're still top of mind. If you wait too long, they might not recognize you or may report your email as spam (which hurts future deliverability rates).

    A welcome message also helps long-term engagement: subscribers who receive a welcome email show 33% more long-term brand engagement than those who don't.

    With a little up-front work, you can create an email sequence that not only sends new Facebook group members the freebies you promised them, but also automates follow-up emails that convert exceptionally well.

    What do you think? Have you tried building your email list via your Facebook group? What tactics have worked well for you? Please share your thoughts in the comments.
