Business Acumen Boot Camp is not for Sissies
Spring is in the air, buds are starting to bloom, the economy is
starting to turn, and the sap is rising in the veins of entrepreneur’s
everywhere (forgive the poetic license – it has been a hard winter). But
although our entrepreneur’s sap is rising (when we say sap, think:
motivation, frustration, ambition), their business acumen skills may not
be up to the job? Here is where Business Acumen Boot Camp training can
payoff.
Many organizations say they want to empower their employees. If this
is true, let them become entrepreneurs (or if they are really trendy
“intrapreneurs”). Companies often tell employees to take risks and to
make decisions that move the organization forward, but sometimes forget
that employees may not have the skills or the confidence to do this
without help.
This is where the Business Acumen Boot Camp comes in. The Business
Acumen Boot Camp can be designed as a combination of classroom training,
on-the-job experiences, and online leaning.
Here is an outline of some topics that may be useful to include in
your Business Acumen Boot Camp curriculum:
- Understanding market and customer dynamics
- Analyzing organization capability
- Creating value—becoming financially savvy
- Solving problems creatively
- Using good judgment—balancing risks and rewards
- Getting things changed and implemented

Re: HOw to market a B2B consulting company
- [quote="zohahunt77":428owzbi]Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me the difference between B2B and B2C. I don’t know about b2b marketing but I have done marketing so know things about it. I will suggest you to take online services which will spread your business all over web network. Online marketing is the best way to market any business.[/quote:428owzbi]
B2B = Business to Business - You are marketing to other businesses.
B2C = Business to Consumer - You are marketing to consumers.

New Study - Women prepare better business plans

[quote:ka7lg35i]Who Prepares Better Business Plans, Men or Women?
A new study based on four years of data from men and women in a training program for microenterprises finds that they come out the same in quality scores. "However, women scored significantly better on the presentation of their plan to judges," conclude the study's authors, Ronald G. Cook, Paul Belliveau, and Christine Lentz of Rider University, in a paper presented at a recent meeting of the Small Business Institute. [/quote:ka7lg35i]
