Maybe you have a Progress development project that needs specific skills and/or additional resource to help deliver the project on time. Call Robert Davison now to discuss some possibilities on a no obligation basis.

What is success? Is it ….

• Moving from Page Rank 1 to Page Rank 2?
• Increase in traffic volumes?
• Increase in (web) sales?

Without having a clear idea of what you want the SEO company to achieve for their fee, how will know if they have been successful?

A good SEO company should have a good Page Rank themselves, after all, if they cannot get a good ranking for themselves, how can they be sure they can do it for your company. Also, their testimonials should have a good Page Ranking or explain how the SEO company improved their business.

Without carrying out this due diligence, the lack of results some 3-6 months later may be the outcome.

Subliminal messages are everywhere, they are a little controversial, and there are a lot of strange claims and myths about how they do and don’t work – here are 7 things you didn’t know:

• Subliminals have been used by some celebs (no not just Anthony Robbins), such as Tiger Woods and even Stephen Speilberg – both of them quoting that subliminal messaging helped them to stay focused when it mattered, and reach their goals.
• Reading some websites you might be led to believe it is illegal. This is innaccurate, it is not illegal, the only instance it is banned within is for use within advertising as here the intention would be to manipulate. It is completely legal to use for personal reasons – such as learning or improving confidence for example.
• Prominent brands such as Coca Cola, & McDonald’s were accused of utilizing subliminal communications within their marketing and advertising. Coca cola for making use of subliminal pictures of naked ladies within their branding, and McDonald’s for flashing an advertisement for just one frame on the “Food Network” Television channel as well as additional accusations).
• In the time of his election campaigns and speeches George Bush seemed to be employing different subliminal techniques. This ranged from the use of subliminal audio along with subliminal “triggers” to inserting subliminal messages into advertising videos.
• The “tachistoscope” was prompted and developed on the back of a good deal of the early research into subliminal perception . This is a tool used within the military employed to teach soldiers to recognize enemy airplanes, and has since been adapted to support the development of speed reading abilities.It works in a similar way to some subliminal image / movie applications as it displays images and sentences for less than one tenth of a second.
• If you believed every little thing you saw on tv shows or in movies it may seem that you can get an instantaneous / overnight outcome using subliminal audio. Sadly this isn’t the case.
• Subliminal audio is coming into the mainstream by top self help gurus offering subliminals, and even hypnotherapists such as Paul McKenna offering subliminal audio as part of their product range.

Having an experienced sounding board is useful as it identifies problems and possible solutions that may be overlooked when the business is running at 100 mph. Working in the business, not on the business, is a common pitfall for start up businesses as they grow. Knowing when to delegate and consider outsourcing specific functions is always a challenge. However, without taking an objective view of what factors are holding the business back, can lead to stagnation and/or working flat out to retain the status quo.

Why can a Business Consultant be value for money?

Usually a business evolves to find it’s niche in it’s chosen market, hence specialists tend to be more successful than generalists. Hitting the glass ceiling is quite common in businesses in that they appear to top out after a while. Ok, they are making money, probably supporting a good lifestyle, but some businesses want more. In order to make the incremental step up, some fresh thinking can help to see other options, for example:

• Cost reductions
• Maximise the Internet
• Form new partnerships
• Staff motivation
• Add complimentary products and services

What about the costs of a Business Consultant?

Business consultancy assignments tend to be short sharp sessions on a periodic basis. Typically, the scope of the assignment is agreed in advance so that the costs and objectives are defined. Think if it as a Non-Executive joining your company to give you advice, usually based from their own experience. A competent Business Consultant would offer a ‘risk and reward’  fee charging option whereby measurable success is rewarded, and lack lustre results are not!

Ultimately, it is your business, so you can decide to take the advice as is, modify it or ignore it. Better to be informed, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.

Have fun in business, but keep the focus.
