All the textbooks say that it is horrible business practice to knock the competition. In South Africa we even have laws against comparative advertising.
It would then follow logically that criticizing your target audience - a very niche, intimate bunch of dear supporters - would be a horrendous idea, a dastardly deed, unfathomable! (such a nice word, just rolls off your tongue, especially when you’re an Afrikaner genetically indisposed of getting “th” to sound British. But I digress…)

Sixth, Diagnose!
Ways 1,3 and 5 are right-brained sections. They are creative, soft and equally as important as Ways 2,4 and 6 which are logical. This is the last of the logical ways.
So the question would be: “Are you nuts? Have you finally started listening to those little voices? When was the last time you did a thorough marble-count?”
Last time we discussed the importance of the business management system in a manufacturing environment. This week we will start with part one of a number of articles on the mobility of business systems, as well as the convergence of business management systems and communications.

First of all, lets define mobility of a business management system: Simply put, it’s the idea that you can have ALL your data with you at ALL times, and that this data should be up to date at ALL times. Also, you would want to do everything that you do in the office on the road as well. There is only limited use of a mobile system if you can simply report on data, but not process any transactions.
In order to achieve the above, keep the following in mind:
The system should be able to run on many different types of mobile devices, such as laptops and mobile phones, and it should have an interface that is easy to work with and which can be ammended to the users own working preferences. Keep in mind that screens on mobile phones are very small, and it will be difficult to enter a Quotation on a small screen if the interface is not well laid out.
The system should use live rather than synchronised data. This is due to the fact that connection speeds are generally too low for live streaming of data for traditional software packages. Therefore many vendors have resorted to offering a web interface for some of their data entry screens. For example, they may have made the Service Order entry screen and the Quotation entry screen available in a web browser, but little else. The ideal system however, will offer a full client for the mobile device, with a simmilar look and feel to that of the version running on normal desktops.
It is therefore essential to consider a business system that keeps all its information in one database, as it will be difficult to offer mobile devices that can access the different databases of disparate systems that have been bolted together.
Another essential of course is the Ease of Connectivity. Consider here the connection options that are available. Any system will be able to run on lines that offer 1GB/s speeds and a Terminal server package, but how expensive will that connection be? Opt instead for smart packages that use TCP/IP connectivity for communicating between client and server, since those packages should be able to work over any Internet connection, and internect connections are cropping up all over the world at a tremendous rate.
Once connected of course, Speed is your next major concern, since connection speed is still a bottleneck in our region. Even with the mobile companies offering 3G, the actual speed that you are going to get is a far cry from the 1.8MB you are sold. Actual speeds on 3G are more in the region of 2 to 200KB/sec, with the latter being late at night when you should not work. So ensure that your system can work properly with speeds as low as 8KB/sec over GPRS, since even 3G is not available everywhere yet.
For example, a truly mobile business system would allow the user to create a sales order while sitting at a customers desk, with access to the latest prices, stock on hand figures and customer account status. That user can also print a pickinslip in the warehouse, hand the customer the latest statement and see what the accountant discussed with the customer last week during the phonecall they had. Dreaming? Not really if you have the right Business Management system.
Next time
We have briefly touched on mobile Business Management systems, and what to consider when choosing yours, since you might want to get mobile sometime soon.

It s not all about increasing income streams. That part is obvious. It is the creation of those streams that is key. Therein lies the ingenuitive part. Actually coming up with projects that add to your portfolio is the start and following through with those, actualzing them is what will bear fruit. It is easy to spider diagram your life. But the results will display when there is scrunched discarded paper all over the floor, old coffee mugs scattered around your studio and a few things that now exist, ready for consumption by receptive ears that didn't exist yesterday.
ozone as a therapeutic medical ozone is always a mixture of purest ozone and purest oxygen. according to its application, the ozone concentration can vary between 1 and 100 µg/ml (0.05 – 5 % O3). the ozone therapist, a trained physician, determines the complete dosage according to the medical indication and the patient's condition.
properties and effect medical ozone has highly pronounced bactericidal, fungicidal and virostatic properties, and is thus widely used in disinfecting infected wounds, as well as in bacterially and virally produced diseases.
its ability to stimulate the circulation is used in the treatment of circulatory disorders and makes it valuable in revitalizing organic functions.
when administered at low concentrations, the organisms own resistance is mobilized, i.e. ozone (re) activates the immune system.
as a response to this activation through ozone, the body's immune cells produce special messengers called cytokins (including important mediators such as interferones or interleukins).
these inform other immune cells, setting off a cascade of positive changes throughout the immune system, which is stimulated to resist diseases for example. this means that the application of medical ozone is extremely useful for immune activation in patients with a low immune status and/or immune deficit.
small quantities of ozone applied consequently activate the body's own antioxidants and radical scavengers. it is thus possible to understand why ozone is used in diseases, which involve chronic inflammation.
This is not a swear word, but the latest jargon in the industry since the implementation of the National Credit Act in June 2007. However, if you’re not au fait with how this is determined, you probably won’t be able to position your application in such a way that you qualify for the bond you require. In this article, I hope to give some insight into how your available disposable income is determined and what factors are taken into account.
In these times, we must be pro-active and ingenuitive. I am keeping inspiration alive in the most unlikely of places. In the slightly quieter times of commercial work demands, I am composing and recording children's material, the first CD is currently released and I am now working on the second. I am also collaborating with fellow musician colleagues on other projects which add to the "catelogue" of productivity. I continue to be a "DO IT NOW" person and once I get started, I tend to want to FINISH, and finish WELL.
I am also working on jingles for commercial use and like to offer clients at least a couple of pieces to choose from within thematic peramaters.
We’ve recently experienced an increase in enquiries for commercial bond finance. Many clients think the process is similar to that for residential property finance, but unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Let’s take a closer look at what has stimulated this interest in commercial property and how investing in this asset class can be detrimental to your cashflow.

This is the most important question in the entire assessment.
One question statistically proved be the primary differentiating factor between companies with good sales and companies with bad sales. The question is this:
Do at least 70% of your customers and prospects know that you are at the top of your game?

Because we refer to property related loans as “mortgage bonds”, borrowers often confuse the two parts that constitute the whole transaction. One is the security given to the bank under the mortgage bond agreement and the other is the actual loan obtained. To complicate matters, they don’t have to be the same amount and it doesn’t always have to be a mortgage bond that secures the home loan.
CRIME, in all its ugliness, is that challenge. Through the horrific and frightening stories of others, one can only but think, “When will I be next?” or “When will my family be next?”. One can only sympathize with the people who have been victims before. However, the constant fear induced by these questions leaves a chill each time...
A recruitment and selection strategy is crucial to a company’s success. A responsible approach is vital if you want to find the right people for the right position. The question we are often asked is, “Do you recruit experienced people as opposed to trying to train people with potential?”
