Selling high-end goods, services or experiences isn’t the same thing as selling the low and mid-tier alternatives. And in the 1990’s, Ford Motor Group learned that the hard way. They bought high-end car brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar and Land Rover thinking they would be able to successfully grow these brands using the same marketing and operational methods that made Ford so successful.

In most business environments, network outages are relatively commonplace. Every few weeks, something fizzes out and productivity grinds to a halt. Your employees can’t get work done when they don’t have access to the data they need. You can’t get work done when you can’t communicate with your people. Your network is integral to your startup — so why aren’t you doing more to prevent downtime?

Many people dream of owning their own business. There’s nothing quite like being your own boss and running an operation the way you want to. However, this dream comes with a big cost. So, unless you’ve inherited a large sum of money or won the lottery, you’ll probably need to look into funding options for your small business. There are many ways to seek funding, but one that seems to attract a lot of buzz is pitching to the investors on the TV show “ Shark Tank.” The premise?

Sometimes entrepreneurs are so focused on making change happen for customers that they forget that continually changing themselves and their company is equally important. Some get stuck in a rut and get run over by competitors with new technology, like Eastman Kodak, and others get pushed into a crisis, like Apple did, before they reinvent themselves into a new market.

Success no longer goes to the country that develops a new fighting technology first, but rather to the one that better integrates it and adapts its way of fighting… Our response will be to prioritize speed of delivery, continuous adaptation, and frequent modular upgrades. We must not accept cumbersome approval chains, wasteful applications of resources in uncompetitive space, or overly risk-averse thinking that impedes change.

One of the reasons I started this blog in the first place is that I think the process of raising money is a black box. I think we’ve made a dent in getting information out there, but at the pre-seed level, it’s still fairly unclear what investors are looking for, because how do you assess a company when there is nothing / not much to show?? I can’t speak for other VCs, but here’s what I’m looking for: 1) What is the problem you are trying to solve and for whom?

Customers are exposed to more choices than ever before, and that means the experience your brand presents them with is make or break for your business. The 2017 report Customers 2020: A Progress Report , by Walker customer experience consulting firm, found that 86 percent of buyers will pay more for a better customer experience. By 2020, customer experience will overtake product and price as the key brand differentiator.

These days, everyone wants to be an entrepreneur, pitching their latest and greatest new idea, and looking for someone to give them money. Angel investors, like me, have long figured out that asking to see the prototype is a quick way to separate the ‘wannabes’ from serious players. Talk is cheap, but entrepreneurs who show you a working model of their idea know how to execute.

Launching a successful startup is hard work. Launching a successful startup in an environment which lacks a supportive local business ecosystem and startup friendly government, can become nigh on impossible. Even in the startup mecca of Silicon Valley, guns remain less regulated than startups, and early stage companies continue to have their feet tied together with red tape, bureaucratic practices, and strict government regulations that limit their potential for growth.

by Andi Simon, author of “ On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights” A company’s culture plays a significant role in how successful that company will be over the long haul. But often as the world and circumstances change, that long-ingrained culture also needs to change – and that’s no easy task.

People prefer to do business with other people (or things) who they know, like and trust. It makes sense. But how do you ever compete with established, big companies like Amazon that pretty much everyone knows, likes (well maybe not likes) and trusts. Surprisingly, it’s easy. You do it by achieving greater frequency. Frequency is simply the number of times your prospect sees you or your brand during a specific period of time.
