MERRY CHRISTMAS - HAPPY NEW
YEAR When the interview is important to you, invest the time needed to properly set the stage so that the session also becomes important to the other person. The need for pre-planning holds true whether you are making a sales presentation, or meeting with a group of researchers to convince them to use a new diagnostic tool! This month, let's think briefly about what it takes to make your interview important to the other party and increase your chances of a successful outcome.

Tips TIP: Invest in outside customer
research so that you will know more about customer perceptions and needs than
your competitors. Get an up-to-date handle on your strengths and your
competitor's weaknesses directly from customers and prospects. Your biggest
competitors may be customer indifference and your own ignorance of current
marketplace realities.

you say?
Marketing Facets - The Market-focused Guide to Company Analysis Marketing Facets is a practical resource for those involved in determining the current health of a company and gauging its future prospects. I designed my 103-page guidebook to be a supplement to other evaluation procedures and information normally gathered during a thorough due diligence or business valuation process. The workbook takes a holistic approach, assembling facts and management assumptions in key areas to help the analyst form and support conclusions. Marketing Facets is a valuable resource to private investment fund managers, individual investors, venture capital specialists, investment banks, and valuation specialists. Marketing Facets can also serve as a guide for C-level executives who wish to perform their own company analysis as part of normal business planning, or in advance of efforts to refinance, acquire or divest. Marketing Facets is available in electronic form via the Internet, on CD/ROM, or in print with a ring binder.> Electronic in MS Word .doc or Adobe .pdf format via the Internet @ $79.95 > CD/ROM format @ $85.95 including U.S. shipping and handling > Ring binder version and CD/ROM combo @ $99.95 including U.S. shipping and handling Consulting is also available.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the situation with you. Our ideal client is a business owner or CEO between 30 and 60+ years old. Usually with a financial, engineering, or production background. Who is often impatient, and interested in improving company performance. Comes alive when you ask, "How's business?" He, or she, is practical but also enjoys the finer things in life. So, you may see my ideal client driving a Lexus or SUV to Neiman Marcus...and to Sam's Club. Who do you know that fits this description?A client speaks: "During the past several years, I called on you to prepare detailed business overviews, year-end projections, and pro-forma forecasts. Your reports helped to better describe my company's operating results, account for the impact of product and market changes, and highlight growth opportunities. I continue to use the reviews during discussions with bankers and other interested parties. Recently, your business reviews were quite helpful as input when I commissioned a business valuation. I value your independent perspective and I will seek your objective advice in the future."
