So many companies dream of going public to raise massive amounts of capital, as set up for an exit strategy, to make acquisitions with stock and for many other reasons. While your intentions may be pure and with genuine motives, you\’re entering shark infested waters of boiler rooms, crooked attorneys and underbelly consultants who have made careers off of taking well intentioned executives just like you for a 24 month rollercoaster ride while they take every penny you have as your company shrivels up like week old road kill.

Just and honest consultants in the \’public offering\’ industry are as rare as the illusive white elephant. This industry exists in a cesspool surrounded by rose gardens; from afar it looks amazing and an image of a dreamland but get up and close and the sludge and odor are enough to make you run and hide. So what do you look for in a consultant? The best consulting firms are the \’boutique firms\’ with minimal overhead that keep a low profile and are made up of 3 or 4 \’partner\’ consultants.

These firms typically have the experience of working with the large consulting groups but for one reason or another have decided to leave and go out on their own. The great thing is, these small groups typically have massive contacts and process your entire public offering in-house. Offering a complete turn-key solution that is managed in-house offers a huge advantage because there is accountability and you can actually build a relationship with the people that are making your dream of a public offering come true.

These \’boutique\’ consultants will usually stay onboard as growth consultants for the life of the company in exchange for modest fees and a pre-IPO or pre-OTCBB equity position. The large firms will hack you out at the knees and gouge you with fees while they take massive amounts of equity in your company which takes away your bartering chip when you need to offer more stock to the public to raise capital.

The small firms will also work one on one with you to show you how to use your stock to grow through acquisition and other nifty ways to use stock to grow. Seek out the boutique consulting firm and save the attorney for spot audits. Hold on to your cash. Why pay outrageous fees to lawyers when you can pay 60% less with a small consulting firm that will add all the bells and whistles for free and actually get your stock trading, usually in half the time?

If you are considering taking supplements to help weight loss, it would be better to take time to read the comments of diet pill. The questionnaire will help determine whether a particular product is worth your time and money. To take full advantage of reviews of diet pill, you should know what kind of data to search.

Clinical trials. The first thing you have to watch out for diet pill reviews are clinical trials that demonstrate the efficacy of the product weight loss. Some of the tests may have been made by the company itself and by independent research institutions. If the product can provide sufficient evidence that it really works and has performed in various clinical studies, then you can have a good chance of losing weight using the product.

Accreditation. One of the things that make a popular product is the accreditation of several research institutions and, sometimes, the science department of universities.

We hear almost daily about some new fad diet that will help you lose 60 pounds in 7 days. But not work! And even so, your body is not designed to lose much weight so quickly. This kind of roller coaster is unhealthy and unsustainable, both for the health of your body and organs.

The commercial tries to sell this makes you think you want are diets that work, but simply are not. What they do is reduce your calorie intake to the point that they literally starve the body thinner.

That sounds like healthy diets that work? I hope not. Without eating good meals every day, the metabolism of your body that are expelled synchronization and slow. It is the opposite of what you want if your goal is weight loss. Slow metabolism, weight loss low. The reason the body does this because it’s getting the message that ‘food is scarce. And the calories you consume, they will be stored in the body work is to avoid starvation. You must obtain a minimum of 1,200 calories per day. This is a minimum. Less than nothing and you put your health at risk.

Have you ever considered that a brochure can be one of the most influential of all your selling materials?

It is a simple piece of paper but the first impact that your brochure produces is fundamental. If it\’s shabby and unattractive your candidate is left with the same opinion. This will slow down your business growth.

Having a leaflet professionally designed and published is a key to success in a crowded marketplace. Taking the time to make sure that your pamphlet presents all the key data in a way that is easily understood is something that only a professional can do.

If you are just starting out in business you may be tempted to do your pamphlet yourself. When I first started in business I did everything myself – not a smart choice. That is why it took me 12 years before I was even comparatively successful. Heed my warning – go professional from day one on your marketing materials. They are an investment and not an expense. Professionally designed materials will deliver you customers and the cash flow to follow – the reason why you are in business.

A leaflet has to use eye-catching design. It has to be brief in terms of the content and last but not the least, it must be successful in enticing people to make that call of action.

Here are three key design principles to follow when creating a brochure. Use them and you will see your results flow.

1. The cover:

The cover is your sales representative. Leaflets are quite passive creatures and you are not often able to \’walk\’ people through your brochure. So you need to arouse people to read further. The cover is the starting point so must be tantalising and sharing the KEY values of WHY someone should read further. It should answer the WIFM question – What\’s in it for me.

A great design company will show you at least three to four cover designs for your pamphlet. Dissect these designs to examine which excites you the most. Ask your supporters their impression. Does the cover answer the question WIFM? If it doesn\’t energise and answer the WIFM question, then skip to another design that works or get it redesigned. Taking the time here to get it right will pay bounties later.

2. The Content:

Once they are past the cover then the message has to become the sales representative. So once again, the pressure is on to be good. Do not opt for cheap inept content writers or ask the designer to write the content or worst still do it yourself. Instead make sure that a professional copywriter is doing the work. If your design company does not have a copywriter then employ one yourself.

Check Out that all the big questions that a prospective customer will have about your product are answered in a way that gets them to call you for more information. Do not go into \’overkill mode\’ and swamp them with too much information at this point in time. Remember the brochure\’s job is to stimulate and get people to call you.

3. The call for action:

If your prospective client has read the pamphlet then you have done a good job. All you need to do now is give them a compelling reason to contact you NOW.

Having things like a free call 0800 or\’00 number distinctly shown (in big letters) can make a huge difference. Having an email address is a clear bonus. Make sure these two are clearly placed in large clear type.

Even give your clients a special coupon on the brochure or reference code can help. But above all, make sure that you add a clear call to action. One way to do this is to readdress the KEY value of your service to your prospect in a way that will get them to take action. Remember value is everything. Individuals only buy something that is of value to THEM.

4. The piece that got missed:

I did this on purpose and only said there were 3 points. Well the final point is the one that can get missed. It is the \’dummy\’ one. Have you checked that you have these on your leaflet:

Phone number | Fax number | Email address | Web address | Country of operation | City / area of operation | Company name | And have you proof read for typo and grammar errors?

Garage floors get exposed to a variety of corrosive substances every day. The chemicals such as fats, battery acids, solutions, antifreeze, motor oil and salt can corrode concrete garage floors into a prolonged exposure. The sad thing is that despite these risks, garage floor is often the most neglected part of any house. People can put in granite or marble tiles in your kitchen and bathrooms, but few pay much attention to the floor cold, damp garage. Putting drywall in a garage floor tiles is a good option to choose but that still does not protect the soil. Some form of protection for the garage floor is necessary, if it is expected to last long.

Garage floors can be protected against corrosion, all days for a variety of measures. The vinyl paint or lacquer can be applied to plants. But the process is slow and laborious. Not exactly the thing a busy professional can do in a short period of time. For people with little time on hand, garage floor tiles are the best options.
