Caring Transitions is a high-demand business and needs people who are looking for the right franchise opportunity. With support, training and third party financing assistance available, this is a unique opportunity to take advantage of the significant growth in the senior care industry. Please read on for an outline of the benefits and be sure to request further information to determine if this franchise opportunity is the right one for you.

About Caring Transitions
Caring Transitions has been a franchisor for more than 20 years and has proven extremely profitable in that time. As a market leader, it provides a complete financial service for seniors looking to change their living situation for any number of reasons. It may be that they want to downsize, sell their home, or simply liquidate their property to cash in the equity.

As a recession-proof company, Caring Transitions is highly profitable due to the changing population demographics in America. The so-called post World War II “baby boomers” are now entering their senior years. People are living longer and they need services that can provide them with a comfortable living environment. Some move to smaller homes with better conveniences like assisted living services while others move into nursing homes that are more equipped to help them with their medical conditions. Caring Transitions helps to facilitate the process and ensures that people can live out their lives without worrying about their surroundings.

The current small business credit crunch is getting much attention and rightly so. We know very little about the overall small business universe because it is so huge and diverse. Most discussions about this topic focus on credit and lending, but the issue is much more complex than that. A more broad-based discussion is necessary to understand the full extent of the current crisis. The crisis encompasses both types of financing, debt and equity.

Personal Wealth
In good times or bad the top source of small business capital is the personal wealth of the owner. Even beyond startup, owners often tap into their personal wealth like a line of credit, on an ongoing basis. If available, personal wealth is easier to access than other forms of financing and may be the only source available. The primary sources of personal wealth are typically real estate and retirement accounts. Since 2008 both of these sources have taken a huge hit, so the amount of personal wealth available has plummeted. Most owners are experiencing the worst economic times in their lifetime. So even if they have personal wealth available, they are less likely to invest it in their businesses. Instead, they are cutting back or forgoing expansion.

Friends & Family
Another common source of capital has essentially dried up – friends and family. For the reasons discussed above, friends and family have less wealth available and are less willing to invest.

Creditworthiness
The ability of a private company to borrow funds depends on the cash flow of the company, the available collateral, and the credit of the owners.

Everyone seems to be using Linked in at the moment. If you’re going to be on any social networking site, Linked in seems to be it. But, how do you use it to its maximum potential and get business from it? 

1.   Write your profile
Make sure you’ve set up your profile on Linked in. You need a bit about your business and what you do; a bit about you and who you are; your qualifications, background and education and finally a bit about your interests and hobbies. Social networking is about getting to know the person behind the business, so don’t be afraid to let your personality come across. A picture of you wouldn’t go amiss here too. 

2.   Get connected
Invite all your current contacts to join you on Linked in. You’ll be given the option to invite your contacts from your email package when you first start on Linked in, but if you’re already on there, just go to Add Connections at the top. You can also email people directly here and ask them to connect with you. 

3.   Connect to other people
Once you’ve started adding connections, Linked in will suggest other people that it thinks you might want to connect with too. You can see this on the right hand side of your home page under People you may know. Search through these regularly and keep connecting with new people. 

4.   Start communicating
Now you’re connected to people, start communicating with them and building that relationship. Contact people directly to find out more about them. It’s only when you communicate with them that you’ll find out whether there is anything you want to take further. 

5.   Tell people what you’re up to
Post an update (you can see this on your home page) on a regular basis – by regular once or more a day is best.

Running a business is a funny thing. One minute, you can be swamped with work and the next you’re so quiet and you can’t see where the next penny is coming from.  

When you’re desperate for new business, it’s likely that you’ll do tons and tons of marketing. You’ll really get off your back side and get out there as much as possible to get new business through the door. 

But, here’s the thing. When you’re desperate for new business, it almost has the opposite impact. It’s almost as if your potential customers can sense this a mile off and don’t want to work with you because you come across as needy. 

And this seems to be true no matter how much of a brave face you put on. Let me give you an example of this. A few months ago I went to a networking event and for some reason, I just wasn’t in the mood for it. 

But I put on a brave face and thought I was coming across ok. At the break though, no-one spoke to me. It’s as though I was giving out an unconscious signal to leave me alone.  

So, if you need to get business in through the door quickly, what can do you? 

Well, I strongly urge you to do what the old posters suggested in World War II – keep calm and carry on. 

You must let go of how desperate you feel and how much you need to get new business in through the door quickly – I know, easier said that done. It’s only when you do that you will start attracting business back to you. 

So, how do you do this? 

Here are my top 5 things to do when you’re feeling this way. They’ve all helped me on many an occasion: 

1.   Write a diary. As a business owner, we’re incredibly good at focusing on the negative and forgetting about anything positive that happens to us.

“Get in on the ground floor, put in a rough year or two and retire a millionaire.””We’re open to new and innovative compensation options.””Play a key role in tomorrow’s Amazon…FaceBook…oh heck, Apple!!” You’ve heard these pitches.

You watched with amazement at the “ease” of funding, the fantastic company multiples thrown around and how “immediately” ordinary people were transformed into multimillionaires, even billionaires. They were just ordinary people with ordinary talents. Just folks at the right place at the right time. It could have been – should have been – you. Maybe…maybe not. There’s an adrenaline high in building a new company. There’s a thrill in building something new from the ground up. People need to be confident in their expertise, experience, certain they can make a difference. There’s a feeling of solid satisfaction in doing things the way they should be done and seeing the results of your efforts pay off for the company…and for you.

The dotcom bubble is nothing but a painful memory. We once again have a rapid proliferation of new business opportunities. Hardware, software, service, consumer products and special interest activities are being started. Fueled by great ideas and a new influx of venture capital money the start-ups all have something in common.  Starting salaries are low because of the stock options, benefits are reasonable, job security is nonexistent, hours are long and resources are in critically short supply.

1. You’re on stage. When you’re on the phone with a client, you’re playing the roles of a good-will ambassador, problem solver, public relations representative, and more. Whether you are having a good day or a bad day, your telephone call is a performance that should leave your client feeling positive about you.

2. Put energy in your voice. A good trick to remember is that when you are sitting during a phone call, your diaphragm is compressed. When you stand up and move around, you breathe more freely. You have more energy, which will come across in your voice.

3. Smile when you speak. The person you speak to won’t see the smile, but the warmth that comes from a smile will come across the phone line!

4. Monitor your voice quality. Do people often ask you to repeat what you just said? You may be mumbling or not enunciating clearly. A good telephone voice is clear and loud enough for people to hear, without sounding loud or shrill.

5. Prepare for your calls. Before an important call, plan what you will say, in writing if possible. This will lower your chances of getting sidetracked, or forgetting important items.

6. Stick to your point and keep it brief. Business people don’t have time for chatty conversations during the day. Monitor the voice of the person you are calling. If they sound hurried, get to the point, or ask when would be a good time to call back.

7. Have all the materials you need at hand. This includes a pen and paper, your calendar for setting appointments, and other information you have from previous contacts.

8. Don’t do other tasks when you’re on the phone. The person you’re talking to may hear you clicking on your keyboard if you’re multi-tasking during your conversation. Eating, drinking or chewing gum during a business conversation is unprofessional.

9. Take notes.

• Re-Confirm Date, Time, Place, # of attendees 24 hours prior to visit

• Ensure you have an agenda for the meeting

• Know how much time you have

• Know the Titles and Responsibilities of attendees (if available)

• Know the meeting environment (if available prior to visit)

• Clarify what is to be accomplished at meeting and/or preferences (customer expectations)

• IE: Does the client wish to talk, do a whiteboard, see a PowerPoint, etc. (if so, is a Whiteboard/Projection screen available?)

• If being accompanied by a colleague (Sales Engineer, Manager, etc) confirm availability and make sure you do a debrief on the account.

• Do you know where you are going – make sure – you don’t want to be late because you got lost

• Ensure you have all the pertinent Account information (ACT info – Contact Report, etc)

• Literature/Demo Software, etc (if applicable)

• Business Cards

• Cash (for Parking, Coffee, etc)

• Appropriate Corporate Dress

When you look and act the part through your preparation – you are more believable and trustworthy in your client’s eyes. Prospects want to deal with Sales PROFESSIONALS – be one – BE PREPARED!

“Pain, suffering, death I feel. Something terrible has happened. Young Skywalker is in pain. Terrible pain” – Yoda, George Lucas Star Wars

Oh come on…give us a break! Yottabytes, Yoda? You thought the same thing when you heard that we’re creating, copying, sending, copying, receiving, copying, archiving stuff. Someone had to invent a new word for all the stored stuff … Yottabyte.

EMC and IDC recently validated what we all already knew.

We’ve streaked right past Moore’s chip law and entered the brave new world of always on…always in touch…always creating…always accessing…always sharing. Seems like only yesterday we were worrying about hanging onto Terabytes, Petabytes, Exabytes.

But by 2020, we’ll have an estimated 35 Zettabytes of stuff to contend with; and then we’ll move to Yottabytes to contend with!

Introducing BBZ – That’s right, in the not to distant future – and in our own galaxy – we’ll be routinely talking about Zettabytes of data. To explain Zettabytes, we’ll simply say it is BBZ … big bunch of zeros. Source – IDC

Our kids don’t worry about it. They just downloaded a few cool videos…just stored a few dozen photos they snapped this past weekend…just downloaded a few research reports they need to use for school…grabbed 20 or 30 great songs they wanted.

Have the courage to be yourself. We can choose to live fully, or to live within a framework of what is familiar and safe. If we choose the latter we will be limiting ourselves by our past experience. There is always risk involved in living fully, and thereby choosing to be more fully alive and joyful human beings, but it is the way that leads to ‘wholeness’. Doing so involves breaking down the bars of our own self-imposed cage and daring to be more fully us, with all that this entails. It means getting out of our comfort zone and embracing what is outside of our present realm of experience – but always within a framework of wisdom and balance. Experiencing new things, interacting with people outside of those who are known and familiar to us, reading books which challenge us and extend our thinking, exploring what was previously unknown, are all a part of this pathway.

Our life’s journey should involve ongoing growth and lead us towards reaching our potential. Those who choose to live fully will undoubtedly experience more depths and heights, but they will come to know what life is all about in a far fuller way. Ultimately they will also come to know, understand and accept themselves. The rewards of doing so are worth the risks involved.

There is an enormous stress in not feeling free to be ourselves. If we are constantly trying to conform to others’ expectation of us the pressure of doing so will eventually get to us. People become inwardly fragmented when they are continually trying to present the ‘right front’ to this group, or that person etc. In the end they can feel that they have lost their own identity. This has the effect of creating inner conflict and confusion. It takes a lot of energy to always endeavour to come across in an acceptable way, in addition to being a major source of stress. Ultimately we have to be ourselves, with all that this entails. It is the only way to sustain good mental health.

The Right Franchise
More and more entrepreneurs every day are discovering that buying a franchise is a terrific way to become a business owner.  You gain instant brand recognition, enjoy a tried-and-true path to financial success, and are on the receiving end of plenty of support from a financially stable parent company as well as from fellow franchisees.  To find a franchise, however, can be a significant challenge.  Most opportunities will set you back at least $30K or more, and the final startup price tag for some high-profile franchises can run as much as a million dollars, or more.  Finding a franchise is the first big step you will take along the road to financial freedom, so don’t mess it up!

Five Tips On Choosing a Franchise
Prior to the first millennium, the Greek Isles were home to the Oracle at Delphi, the place where world leaders traveled to seek out divine guidance regarding everything from waging war to making ideal political alliances.  The oracle’s most famous pronouncement was this two-word bit of advice, “Know thyself.”  A couple of thousand years later, it’s equally valid advice for anyone looking to find a franchise.  The better you know your own skills and interests, the better fit you will enjoy in locating the right franchise for you.  Here are some tips to consider:

When you set off to start your own business for the first time, a very good idea is to go with a franchise.  After all, the systems are already in place, the business model is already proven, and you will have help getting your business off the ground from your franchiser.  But like anything else in life, starting a franchise business should have a franchise business plan.

When you write a business plan for a franchise, there are plenty of different aspects you are going to need to consider.  In a franchise business plan, you are going to have to account for a variety of variables beyond just the product and the logo (which the franchiser should already have well in hand).  Any one of these facets, if handled poorly, could derail your business… or derail your plans to get financing from a bank, a broker or hard money funding.

Asking the Right Franchise Questions
The franchise agreement is a lengthy legal document – oftentimes containing more than a hundred pages – that even an experienced franchise lawyer may find challenging to explain to a prospective franchisee.  If you know which franchise questions to ask, and whom to ask, then the chances of buying a franchise that’s right for you go up immeasurably.  The questions to ask a franchise operator are just as important as those you will ask of the parent corporation.  Here are 20 franchise questions well worth asking – 12 for the franchisor and 8 for other franchisees.

Franchise Questions To Ask The Franchisor:
