Customer Satisfaction and the Service Business

The Business Plan And The Presentation
There is a temptation for many entrepreneurs to attempt to duplicate their Business Plan in a Slide Presentation. This may happen understandably, because of an enthusiasm and zeal to share a concept or an idea; there is also a chance to lose your audience. Both the Business Plan and Presentation may work together better if the Presentation is a highlight of the main document.On many occasions I have been asked to join a meeting or review a Business Plan and/or a Powerpoint Presentation and have received a 40-slide Presentation. Any amount of slides over 12 (Guy Kawasaki, author of The Art Of The Start, recommends 10 ONLY) is overwhelming and much too long for an audience. Once I attended a meeting and one of the investors said to my client after the sixth slide, "Could we just skip the slideshow and discuss your business?" Put yourself in the place of your audience. What would be of interest to you? Be succinct and get to the point, and be mindful of others' schedule.When preparing for a meeting to share your Business Plan with a Presentation, I recommend the following:1.

Ganging Print Runs
When you have multiple pieces that are all on the same paper and same ink colors you can sometimes gang or put multiple pieces up on the same press sheet. This saves on makeready, setups, plates and washups and can save $$$ if you are comfortable with some of the limitations that you might have.As an example let's say we are printing 8-8.5x11 brochures printed process on both sides. Our quantity that we want of each brochure is 5000. If a printer has a 40"(full size) press he can put all 8 of these brochures up on the same run. There is some potential real savings in doing this but there are some drawbacks. First of all, if you have all the brochures up on the same sheet and they are different families of colors let's say a blue color, a green color, a purple color, a red color and a yellow and orange color. Because these brochures are being printed in CMYK process screen mix you probably will have some compromise on matching any one of those colors of brochures on press.If you have critical colors that you need to match too ganging pieces is not a very good idea. A printer should ask you if ganging is OK and tell you before he does it. Let's s

A manufacturer should sit with sketchbooks and scribble pads with thoughts on garments, nice designs and bits and pieces of fabric.
