© 2012 Apptivo Inc. All rights reserved. Never Tell a Lie to Investors “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. ” – Warren Buffet In the current economic scenario, small businesses and startups would welcome any financial help they can get. Once they have tapped funds from their friends and family, they may turn to investors who are willing to invest in their business. However, one must keep in mind that investors don’t write blank checks. They will want a detailed business plan and also a way to exit from the business down the line with meaningful profits. You should be thoughtful in your approach towards potential investors because a scattershot approach will turn them off. A point worth mentioning is, never ever lie to a potential investor. Why you should not Lie to a Potential Investor Investors prefer to deal with realistic SMB owners – To get the funding, many entrepreneurs tend to lie and give an unrealistic projection. A shrewd investor would likely see throug

Project Management Tips for Creative Professionals 0 SaaS, SaaS project management – Project Management Tips for Creative Professionals Creative professionals are usually not very good at staying on task. This is not an insult to them. Their minds are busy creating and coming up with amazing ideas. Yet for anyone who works in SaaS project management or as any kind of freelancer, this can prove to be a very difficult challenge. If a freelancer is working on a project then they have to be the sales and support teams, the accountant, and the manager while still getting all of the work done. This may be even more challenging than managing a project for a big company because then if you were doing SaaS project management you would only have to manage the project. There are many software options that you can choose to use with SaaS project management to help you get your projects done on time. Some of these programs that will

Project Managers Salaries SaaS project management may seem like it would be a simple job. After all, all you have to do is keep a project running, right? In reality, it is a very difficult job that requires you to plan, organize, work with a team, and take an idea from a scribble on a piece of paper to the final product. A project may be something as simple as coming up with a new company logo or it could even be managing how a city would react to a natural disaster. You need certification for SaaS project management and project managers are paid according to what they are worth. There is a possibility that you could find a job that does not require you to have certification as a SaaS project management professional. While you would still get a fairly nice salary, a certification can increase your salary by as much as $10,000 a year. Even in this rough econ

The Dirty Dozen 12 Soft Skills You Need as a Project Manager Project management should be focused on getting things accomplishing using the skills and resources available to them. The key to your project’s success is your project team. Your ability to oversee, delegate, supervise, and influence those on your team is key. This means your interpersonal skills are of great value, as are your behavioral skills. These two skill sets are referred to as “soft skills. ” Let’s look at some of the soft skills you need to be a successful project manager. 1.

Here are three ideas to keep in mind when trying to earn the trust of your customers. Respond Quickly to all Bad Comments A “Thank you” can go a long way when you are acknowledging someone for writing a nice comment or a review on one of your social media networks. Every business should respond to all good and bad comments that have been written about them. It is also important to make sure you know how your business wants to come off. Professional? Casual? Friendly? Each company is different and should respond according to its culture. What better way to promote yourself than tell your loving customers to share the greatness of your business with their friends?

You may have poured your blood, sweat and tears into it but it is time to move on. It is quite common for business owners to believe that their business is actually worth more than it is. However, it can be just as common for business owners to sell their business far below what it is worth simply because they do not have the financial information to back up this value. You should not sell your business on your own. You need a professional who has experience managing the process. Also check out www. bizbuysell. com/ the largest business marketplace online.

© 2011 Apptivo Inc. All rights reserved. Book review of “Our Iceberg Is Melting – Changing and succeeding under any conditions” – by John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber I normally avoid reading management books which are prescriptive. I like the ones which are classics or those which are based on events and incidents or are about people. Because most of the time, I feel that prescriptive books come out with solutions which use a lot of jargon and which look good on paper, but which were not implementable in the complex real-world. Sometimes some of these books describe a management fad which will change when the fashion changes next year. The management books I have liked are memoirs or experiences of people – like ‘Liar’s Poker’ by Michael Lewis (insightful description of investment banking from the inside), ‘The Nudist on the late shift’ by Po Bronson (wonderful book about the dot com revolution). Or are about major events – like ‘When genius failed – the rise and fall of Long Te
