WSI Opens New Internet Consulting Office in Yorktown, Virginia

WSI Opens New Internet Consulting Office in Yorktown, Virginia










Yorktown, VA (PRWEB) March 17, 2004

ThereÂ’s a new connection in TidewaterÂ’s Internet Industry. WSI, the worldwide leader and leading-edge Internet Consulting and Education Company, is proud to announce the launch of a new Internet Consultant (IC) office in Yorktown, VA. Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, WSIÂ’s latest office will be run by Internet Business Consultant Robert Dynan and provide area businesses with objective-driven e-business strategies and solutions.

Robert has over 25 years of experience in various areas of general, operations and marketing management with small-to-medium sized defense services and air transportation companies to which he brought a holistic management approach for increasing market share, streamlining operations and improving customer service. He is a graduate of Auburn University where he received a Bachelor of Aviation Management degree from the School of Engineering in 1979. In 1984 he received his Master of Business Administration from the Harvard Business School where he specialized in Services Marketing and Production and Operations Management.

“I discovered the strategic value of internet-based management solutions as a means of creating competitive advantage when e-business was in its infancy,” says Dynan. “The technologies initially developed in the late 1990’s are now becoming so scalable and affordable that every business, regardless of size or reach, can create competitive advantage using e-business solutions. If your business plan does not address web-based management tools, you are clearly missing a tremendous opportunity to enhance revenues, reduce costs, and increase customer satisfaction”, he added. He is joined by his wife, Diane, who is also a graduate of Auburn University’s School of Engineering where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering in 1979. She received her Master of Industrial Engineering degree from the University of Arkansas in 1982 and has extensive experience designing, developing and maintaining e-business solutions for non-profit organizations.

WSIÂ’s Yorktown office delivers a full menu of e-business, e-commerce and e-learning strategies and solutions for organizations of all sizes using a patent-pending Lifecycle™ System, an Internet solutions delivery framework. The first step is the Internet Business Analysis (IBA) process in which the Consultant will work with each client to fully understand the organizationÂ’s competitive landscape and unique attributes. Once the clientÂ’s objectives are completely understood, the IC will develop, enhance, host, market and/or maintain e-business strategies and solutions that support the organizationÂ’s objectives.

“I am never surprised when potential clients express doubts about the impact of their existing web sites,” says Robert. “The unfortunate fact is that most web-sites donÂ’t fully support a companyÂ’s marketing, operating or cost containment objectives. If your management team doesnÂ’t receive statistical data that identifies strengths and weaknesses associated with this important management tool, you are essentially attempting to steer your ship without the benefit of a rudder”, Dynan explains. “At WSI, we provide clients with critical feedback on a regular basis to increase the effectiveness of their e-business solutions.”     Dynan believes it takes a close working relationship with an e-business solutions provider to maximize the potential of the web. “Many small-to-medium sized organizations prefer not to carry the burden of a dedicated e-business strategy function. For those companies, our goal is to become their Technology Partner for the life of their business”, he added.

Robert and Diane live in Yorktown. They have three children: Alex, a junior at York High School; Andrew, a fifth grader at Dare Elementary; and Allison, a first grader at Dare Elementary. They are active members of St. LukeÂ’s United Methodist Church in Yorktown.

Currently rated the #1 Internet Services Business in the World and the 4th fastest-growing International Franchise, WSI recognizes that as Internet technologies emerge and continue to influence the way we do business, having a website is simply not enough. Businesses must conform to, and capitalize on, this change with the help of a partner committed to positioning clients at the forefront of the digital revolution. WSI ICs guarantee clients a technologically advanced, “search engine friendly” website by exercising the ABCs of Internet Success (Advanced Technology, Being Found and Consultation and Education).

WSIÂ’s systems have been utilized and proven by over 700 Internet Consultants in 87 countries worldwide, WSI delivers thousands of e-business solutions to small and medium sized businesses annually. For more information, please visit http://www.wsiwebcentricadvantage.com.

A citizen of both France and the United States, Tanguy holds a Masters in Business Administration from a joint program of French business school HEC/ISA with Stanford University Graduate School of Business. She spent seven years as a marketing executive in the information technology industry, in the US, Europe and Japan, before volunteering for medical humanitarian missions in Africa, the Balkans and Central Asia,

Based in New York, Tanguy will lead GBC’s policy and corporate mobilization work, and oversee its strategic development worldwide through the Paris-based “Coalition Mondiale des Entreprise Contre le Sida (CME)”, the GBC’s offices in Johannesburg, and the “GBC Business and AIDS Working Group” in Beijing. She will oversee a variety of complex international programs and initiatives that seek to harness the power of the international business community in the fight against AIDS.

GBC represents over 170 companies worldwide. With Headquarters in New York, GBC was created in response to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan’s call for the global business community to join the fight against AIDS. GBC is led by GBC Chairman Sir Mark Moody Stuart, Chairman of Anglo American, GBC CEO Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, GBC Vice-Chairmen Bertrand Collomb, Chairman of Lafarge and Cyril Ramaphosa, Chairman of MCI.

Business Loans UK: Providing conducive atmosphere for business growth

Business Loans UK: Providing conducive atmosphere for business growth

Every year, thousands of students get master degrees from leading Universities of United Kingdom. Every individual has different aim and objective in life. You can find many students who want to start their own business or want to expand their family business. There is nothing wrong in their thinking and they should make proper plan to achieve such targets. However, we can not forget that business involves lot of funds. In case, you are looking for funds to invest in business, then try business loansUK. These loans are made specifically for commercial purpose. With the help of financial aid, entrepreneurs can meet various requirements of existing and new business, like purchasing office furniture, equipments, machinery, land, factory, technology, paying salary, etc. Businessmen can also clear past debts as well with the help of money.

 

If you are planning to borrow business loans UK, you have two options to borrow funds, like

 

Secured loan – This loan option requires you pledge property, home or real estate as collateral. Here are some benefits and advantage of loan service, like

 

-          Lower internet rate

-          Bigger loan amount for big purposes

-          Long repayment duration

-          Affordable APR

 

In this category, you can borrow big amount in the range of £5000-£5000000 for various objectives. All these benefits make the loan less burden for businessmen. Hence, you can concentrate on trade more than the repayment and banking problems.

 

Unsecured loan – It is an ideal option for tenants and non-homeowners who need small amount. There is no need to put collateral against the cash. Here, lenders approve loan amount without any security. However, borrowers have t pay slightly expensive interest rate and APR as compared to secured finance. A person can obtain easy cash in the range of £2000-£75000 for the period of 1-10 years.

 

Before you contact any lender for business loansUK, you should be prepared with proper business plan and past balance sheet as well. People who want to start a new business should have good business plan and blueprint. In case, you need funds to expand already established business, loan providers may ask you to show past profit/loss statement and balance sheet. Lending agencies approve application after verifying all important details and documents. After approving the loan, these lenders do not put any restriction on you. Businessmen can invest the money the way they want without any problem.

Introduction – Starting a Business online or offline

Introduction – Starting a Business online or offline

A guide in starting a business is best on following the lay-down rules of starting a business. Starting a design business (or any type of business) can be a long and daunting process. We had the idea to form a design partnership over a year ago and I’d say we’re still very much in the start-up phase. In this ‘start a business’ series, we’re going to discuss the trials and tribulations we’ve experienced starting Happycry which will hopefully be of use to others who have – or are thinking of – starting a design business.

We’re not proclaiming to be masters of starting a business. This is our first experience starting any type of business and we’re still a long way from being successful. On the way we’ve made plenty of mistakes, had a few successes and have learnt many things we think are worth sharing. Some upcoming subjects in this series of posts will be:

Getting Started (this post)
The Business Plan
Financials
Marketing on a budget
The workplace – Office or Home
Partnerships

This isn’t a set list and the posts won’t necessarily be in that order – We’re leaving it open to anything we feel is worth sharing. In this first post we’re going to talk about kick-starting an idea into a fully-fledged business.

So you have an idea for a business

Everyone has some form of entrepreneurial spirit in them somewhere. They perhaps just don’t think they’re ready, or feel they haven’t gained enough experience, to start a business. But why wait? Life moves so fast that if you sit around waiting for the right time, when you finally do something about it, the boat will have left.

The Idea

If you have an idea that you think could be viable as a business, then at least do yourself the justice of looking into the possibility of getting it off the ground. Our business came about through two uni mates meeting for a coffee and a catch up.

At the time, I was working full-time at a local digital media agency and Paul was freelancing for various clients in Liverpool. We both felt we had more to offer and we started bouncing some ideas around about combining our skills and starting some form of freelance partnership: It eventually became a business.

Pros and Cons

That’s all it takes! Well, that’s all it takes to get an idea moving anyway. Next, you need to weigh up the pros and cons of running your own business. On paper it seems like a dream job – Your own boss, your own hours, your own clients. But it’s rarely that rosy.

It’s a stressful experience. In a standard job, when you finish work at 5.30pm you go home and don’t have to worry about work till 9am the next morning. When you’re the boss, it never stops. You might get confused clients ringing to find out why their email isn’t working on a saturday afternoon. You might have a few sleepless nights over those make-or-break meetings the next day. It’s not sounding so much like a dream job now.

Yet it’s not all bad and to get the benefits you need to put in the hard work. On the upside you get to be in full control of the work you do. There will be no middlemen having their say on how a design should look or what colour some text should be. If you don’t like a particular client you don’t have to work with them. In my opinion, that freedom is well worth the exchange of stress, hassle and hard-work required to start a business.

What are you in it for?

So now you’ve weighed up the pros and cons you need to ask yourself a really tough question: What are you in it for? If it’s to be regarded as a suave money-making entrepreneur then move on. If it’s because you feel you have something of value to offer, that other people and businesses would pay for, then keep at it.

This is the main reason we started Happycry. We felt that what we could offer was of a better standard then what other local businesses were offering. We had little experience, hardly any business knowledge and no reputation, but we thought: “if we stick to producing quality work, then we can get by and learn the other bits along the way”. So far its worked. If in the long run it doesn’t, we’ll let you know.

Get a plan togetherow you have the idea in place and you’ve thought about how viable it is as a business, it’s time to make a plan.
HELP!

Planning is a tough one. It takes time, involves a lot of (calculated) guess work and isn’t easy on your own. So get help. We have been amazed by the individuals and organisations who were willing to help us get our business off the ground. There are plenty out there and you more than likely already have some form of connection with them.

 

 

The website is a good place to start. Also, have a quick Google of business support and communities in your area. Universities can be very handy for start-up business support, even if you didn’t attend there. What you’re looking for is an adviser of some sort and if you talk about your idea and make noises in the right places you’re bound to find one. Our adviser is an accountant as well, so he can give us advice on the financial side of things too.

Talk to friends and family as well. If you let them know your world-conquering idea of a business they might be willing to help and get a family member or friend of theirs involved who has business experience.

Do be aware of getting too much advice though. If you have lots of people all preaching their version of how best to build your business, it can become confusing. So choose someone who can help you and who you get on with and stick with them.

Money, Money, Money…

This is fairly important. Money is key to a business, so you need to make sure you’re going to have enough to keep you afloat while you get started and a steady stream of money comes in from clients. In a standard job, you’re guaranteed a monthly wage but when you run your own business paying yourself is much more erratic. To cover this, ensure you have money set aside that can tide you over before you start.

We we’re only a year out of university when we decided to start a business, so there were no life savings to tap into. Having a full-time job, I certainly felt scared giving up the day job and sacrificing a guaranteed wage. But we found there is more support out there in the form of funding. There are many different types of funding and it requires work on your half to get it, but if you do secure funding then you don’t have to (like a loan) pay it back.

You might think that with the economy so bad that there would be little funding available. Actually, there is plenty. Local government and organisations are pushing hard to get businesses (and consequently the economy) moving again, so there are a lot of financial support schemes on offer.

Funding for start-up businesses is not that difficult to come across, getting your hands on it can be the tricky part. Some of it is based on luck – you might need to live in a certain area or be moving into a certain industry – but there is money out there and why shouldn’t it be you who gets it? You’ll have to do a lot of convincing and make people believe in your idea, but if you’re enthusiastic about your potential venture and have a well-rounded plan, then go for it!

The Business Plan

This bit scared us the most. We hadn’t even read a business plan, never mind written one before! It’s a key part of planning a business however so there is no point hiding from it. It’s also generally a requirement to get any type of funding or business support. This is quite a big subject on its own so we’ll be doing a separate post about our experiences on writing a business plan. To get a head start while planning however, have a think about the following areas:

Your typical customer (we found this particularly difficult for a design service)
Competitors
The industry as a whole
Your Unique Selling Point (USP)
Your pricing
Start-up costs
Ready? Time To Get the ball rolling

Crunch time then, but before you make the plunge make sure that:

You’ve got a killer idea
You’ve weighed up the pros & cons
You’ve got some help
You’ve looked at the money situation (personal and business)
There’s some work in the pipeline

Well… you best get out there and make it happen! If you have a job, hand in your notice, tell everyone the exciting news and get to work straight away. If you haven’t already,1996and brand your business.

ou have an idea for a business we’d love to here it in the comments (we won’t steal it, wIt’s a scary world out there but you’re not alone and there’s plenty of help and support. If ye promise). Maybe you’re just thinking about getting started? No matter what, it’s a perfect time for opportunity. Why not make the most of it and give it a shot?

The most popular way to jumpstart your business

The most popular way to jumpstart your business

Everybody’s doing it, doing it, doing it. Everybody’s looking to jumpstart their business. They’re looking to grow their business faster. Or they’re looking to get control of their business that is growing too fast. And the most popular way is to get a business coach.

Type “business coach” into Google and you’ll get about 30,500, 000 results.

Successful people from all over the world have a coach. Every gold medal winner, every professional athlete has a coach. Tiger Woods has two; Bill Gates uses Warren Buffett as his coach.

 

WHY A BUSINESS COACH

Although you may be an expert in your business, your competitors are experts too. Being an expert is not enough to help you prevail against your competition.

Your mental attitude, emotional fortitude, life balance, and mastery over habitual behaviors, will give you the winning edge. You must maintain a positive attitude and remain inspired.

A coach will help you build your mindset and confidence to face the difficulties along the way.

YOU WILL LEARN . . .

What will you learn from a business coach? A trained coach will NOT tell you how to run your business. That would be arrogant of him. You know your business better than anyone.

He will keep you focused, with clear goals and strategies for reaching your goals effectively. He will definitely help you become more organized, doing what’s most important first.

He’ll help you achieve strong skills in leadership, communication and salesmanship. He will also help you create an optimum environment where you are surrounded by supportive people and have effective tools, equipment and systems.

Your coach will help you clarify your thoughts. Being able to talk things over with this trusted confident will enable you to make much better decisions. He will also help you see your blind spots and identify habits that are getting in your way.

Lastly, your coach will help you master your psychology to minimize limiting beliefs, fears and doubts.

HOW TO WORK WITH YOUR COACH

You need to be open and honest with your coach. Take him into your full confidence. Obviously, you will have to have confidence and trust in your coach.

You have to be willing to try new things and step out of your comfort zone.

Evaluate Your Business Strategies

Designing business strategies is a cooperative activity with your coach. When you come up with strategies, evaluate them fully. Ask questions. A good coach will welcome them. Your coach may know many things, but the ultimate responsibility is yours. Your job is to go out in the field and test the strategies.

When you report back to your coach, the two of you can work out any needed adjustments.

Implement Effective Strategies

The coach will help you design strategies that work for you. What works for somebody else may not work for you. Your coach will help you play to your strengths. After designing a likely strategy with your coach, implement the strategies right away. Report back to your coach the actions you have taken. If something does not work out, he’ll help you analyze the problem and find solutions.

Study Your Competitors

Study the market and evaluate your competitors’ strengths. You need not be worried by them. Your coach can help you identify your unique strengths you can then showcase. Your business coach is like a secret weapon – a secret competitive advantage.

And that, folks, is why everybody’s doing it, doing it, doing it.

Best wishes for a prosperous business and life, ~Stan Mann
