    Cutting Call-Center Costs
    The call-center is theoretically the place with a lot of phones and people sitting next to each other talking at the same time. But does this is a call-center you should dream about? I'd prefer if my phone would ring just few times a day with a very particular questions, focused on my business or better sales-oriented question.There is a lot you can do to cut your call-center expenses. But the first step is to measure them and measure the performance of your call-center. It's a good idea to start with running costs. How much does it cost to run a single seat?

    What does it mean to have no estate plan? What does it mean to have neither a will nor a trust? While you may have heard many "horror stories" and rumors, you may not truly understand the significance of not having formal estate-planning documents prepared.

    Here are some of the misconceptions and attitudes many have about not having an estate plan:

    • All of my money will go to the state!
    • It's O.K. I don't need a will or a plan because I don't have much money.
    • My estate is really simple. It's no big deal; I don't really need one.
    • I don't want to think about it -- eat, drink and be merry! Pass the hot dogs (or the wine, or whatever)!

    I have come across many of these attitudes/misconceptions in many years of law practice -- except for the "I don't want to think about it" group, who usually call once and never make an appointment, or of course who may never call in the first place!

    However, all of these attitudes need some serious debunking. All are flawed and all portray a major lack of understanding of the estate planning process. Consider the following answers to each:

    Stop Your Marketing Leaks
    Thirty percent of all the drinkable water that runs between the plant and your faucet is lost to leaky pipes. In marketing, thirty percent of our business is lost to leaky follow up. Even professional sales people have leaky follow up when they stop after one or two contact points. How much business are you letting get lost to your leaky pipes. Here are some ways to tape them up or you may have to replace some fittings: 1. Do a check up of your follow-up system from the time of precontact to six months later. Since only 2% of sales occur after a first contact and does not g

    Your web site will be your window to the world.

    ding of the estate planning process. Consider the following answers to each:

    Will all of my money go to the state if I die without a will or trust?

    Rarely. While it is much better to have your own will, dying without a will is not fatal (Ouch. I'm sorry about that pun). It is called dying "intestate." The states have enacted statutes that apportion an estate among predesignated classes of beneficiaries when there is no will. For example, the laws of intestacy in California provide that when a person dies without a will his or her estate (his or her separate property or community property share) will be split 50% - 50% between the children then living and the surviving spouse.

    While the State of California can benefit from an estate, it is only the "heir" of last resort. Property goes to the state when there are no known heirs at law (the transfer to a state's treasury is called "escheat").

    Therefore, failing to have a formal estate plan involves both "good news" and "bad news." The good news is that state legislatures have provided a back up estate plan for those without wills. The bad news is that this state-sponsored estate plan is just that: It's the state's plan. It is not necessarily your plan, and it may be the opposite of what you want.

    Do I need an estate plan if I don't have much money?
