Western Companies Are Frittering Away China Employees. Or Not.
2009-06-12 07:02:00 Fascinating article at Access Asia on how Western companies are, at the exact worst time, cutting back on their employees in China. The article, "Are Foreign Brands in China About to Give It All Away??" says that many Western companies, run out of places like London and New York, are cutting back on their China operations so as to preserve cash and save money at home: By and large, in most sectors of the retail business, they had the locals on the run both as brands and retailers. Then last year’s financial crash. Since then two mantras have surfaced – the West is in freefall; China is surprisingly robust. Our sales are declining in the West; growth is still apparent in China. Good news then for those teams in China who did all the hard work over the last decade? Eeeerrr, no. Head offices from London to Paris to New York and back again panicked – big time. Cuts were demanded; cost savings had to be found – redundancies implemented. And it seems a sort of warped, nonsensic...

Inside TeleSales versus Outside Sales in Software and High Tech Companies
2009-02-06 02:09:00 There are many ways to deliver your software and technology products to the market. For example, one and two step distribution through third party channels, direct marketing/sales over the Internet, OEM relationships and many variations of these, as well as other methods.One classic method of delivering products to the marketplace is by using a direct sales force. Within the direct sales methodology, two of the most popular variations are an outside sales force and an inside telesales group.Inside sales forces utilizing telesales are cheaper per rep, so your cost of sales is reduced, and you can potentially afford more reps. Outside sales forces can provide additional credibility and stronger relationship with the account. How do you choose between the two methods? Does it sometimes make sense to use both? Let's take a look at some of the key aspects to consider when making this decision:PRODUCT COMPLEXITY AND LENGTH OF SALES CYCLEProbably the most important consideration in this d...

The China Economy For Foreign Companies
2009-01-04 22:13:00 I was interviewed a couple weeks ago by a reporter who wanted to know what impact the declining economy in China was having on my law firm's clients. I told her none. I said that so far, anyway, not a single client had even mentioned China's declining economy as a factor in its decision-making. But I then said that I had also not really been asking and that about half our clients are not in manufacturing, and that virtually none of our manufacturing clients make low end products like $2 toys, socks, or costume jewelry. I also mentioned that less than ten percent of our manufacturing clients are in Guangdong Province, which seems to have been hardest hit. Since that interview, I have conducted an extremely unscientific client survey regarding our clients' China plans. This survey was of about fifteen clients (to tell you how unscientific it was, I took no notes), eleven of which are American, one Korean, one Spanish, one Mexican, and one German. About half are in manufactu...

Integrating Sales and Marketing at Software and Technology Companies
2008-12-11 23:42:00 In some, but not all tech companies, the Sales and Marketing functions are managed separately. They are separate, but closely related functions that some people (especially technical folks) have a tendency to confuse. Normally, there is a VP or Director heading up the Marketing department, and another VP or Director leading the Sales staff. But it is also not unusual to see a VP or Director of Sales & Marketing who leads both functions at once.This all seems benign enough, so what's the issue? The issue comes when actual revenue fails to meet the forecast--that's when the finger-pointing usually begins. Unfortunately, not meeting forecasts is a common event in technology businesses, where forecasting of new software and tech products can be particularly challenging. When that finger-pointing starts, it often breaks out first between the Marketing and Sales departments--here's how the ensuing "discussion" might go:SALES: "You haven't planned products that our customers want t...

Business development companies: Risk and reward
2008-12-08 06:00:00 "The reality for Business Development Companies (BDC) -- firms that specialize in mezzanine financing for smaller companies -- has changed, with a higher risk for even the best of them," cautions Adrian Day (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2621 ).However, the editor of The Global Analyst (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2621 ). adds, "If you have capital and a long-term view, there are some outstanding buys now in this sector, which has been deciminated over dividend concerns." Here, he reviews a pair of speculative, high yielding ideas."Under the traditional BDC model, companies paid out as dividends all Net Operating Income (including net gains from sales)."Because they paid out all income and because leverage is limited to one-to-one, thus limiting the ability to raise funds via debt, then in order to grow, companies must issue new equity."This is part of the model and for decades, companies have successfully raised equity in order to fund ...

Some insurance companies close track day loopholes
2008-10-21 03:32:00 In the NY Times Oct 17th: NY Times article Bad news for everybody - and of course the dunderheads at the insurance companies don't realize that track days make most of us better drivers. Unfortunately, inevitably, we've seen a lot of kid stuff at track days. There are a certain class of kiddies whose poor judgment has caused them so many accidents on the street, dirt, and on the track that they are not insurable by mainline insurance companies.
