Spot Runner TV advertising review

October 31, 2006 at 11:05 am · Filed under Business

SpotRunner is a new service which should allow easy TV advertising for small businesess.

Siliconbeat: Spot Runner over a regular ad agency is lower cost and the speed and ease of the self-serve site. The professionally produced ad costs about $500, compared to several thousand dollars otherwise. The airtime itself is extra, of course, and Spot Runner takes a commission. Waxman envisions the service opening new doors for small businesses that maybe never would have considered TV advertising before.

Here is my experience.

1. Spot Runner is not very easy if you decide to you your own spot. Unfortunately my company could not use any of their premade spots. None of them was close to the business we do. We had to mail disk based on certain specification to Spot Runner office. We mailed the disk twice and Spot Runner lost it twice. I always did follow ups by email, but the responses were very slow or none. It really didn’t impress me the way they lost twice the disk we sent to them.

2. Why they cannot download the spot? The spot is in QuickTime MOV format. I would much rather upload the spot instead of mailing disk. Spot Runner is supposed to be Internet based company, but they insist too much on phones and mailing. Why? I have no idea, but it is hassle. I have spent two months trying to communicate, sending disks and get our advertising going.

I was very excited about the service when I first saw it. But the excitement is gone. It was real hassle and waste of time. I gave up.

Do it yourself patent filing

July 20, 2006 at 10:09 am · Filed under Business

I am in the progress of do it yourself patent filing. I am not lawyer and I don’t have any experience with that. I did file for trademark in the past so this is test for me to see how complicated it is and if regular person can file patent on his own.

I did the original filing online. Cannot say that I like the USPTO.gov system for online filing. First you have to register for customer number, which comes in the regular mail in couple of days. Than you should continue and get digital certificate. That really looked complicated (mailing notarized letter, etc.). Than I find out that you can do initial filing electronically and don’t need the certificated. Confusing? Yes, it is.

I did file the initial application about week ago. I got the response this morning. I forgot to include the form called Declaration… Damn, I had it ready and I forgot to scan it and file it with the initial application.

Now I cannot do it online anymore, because I don’t have digital certificate. So I am including the paper form and fees in letter and mailing back to USPTO.

95% of people will never use opportunities around them

June 28, 2006 at 11:02 pm · Filed under Business

Assuming I will tell you piece of information and it will make you a lot of money. Something where you invest quarter and make dollar. Something what is a sure deal, just requiring little work and very minimum investment in tens of dollars.

What I mean is if I tell you directly what to do,  my experience is like this:
1. 50% will hear the info, but will not understand or comprehend. These people will never ask questions, because they don’t know how to ask them.
2.  45% will comprehend, but will be too lazy to do something about it.
3. Probably only 5% will use the piece of information to their advantage.

This is very said, because we all can make our lives better if we just use the right info freely available around us.

Problems with sales people

June 28, 2006 at 11:00 pm · Filed under Business

I am trying to purchase new PRI line with DIDs (possibility to have multiple phone numbers on a few phone lines). I want to have unlimited (flat fee) long distance and I can’t get straight answer from the sales person from TelePacific if it is possible.Here is how it went:

My question was if we can use flat fee long distance.

Answer:

You can have unlimited long distance on as many lines as you want as long as you configure your phone system to use those lines for out bound only. I understand where you’re going with this idea, just make sure your phone system can handle this programming. Email backup service is free of charge with our service

OK. I think anyone would be able assume that it is really possible from the above answer, right? The contract came in and it didn’t have anything mentioned about long distance. I talk to the sales person on the phone and he assured me it is possible. I asked why it is not in the contract. He said, because they don’t put it in contracts and they never had any problems while working for other clients etc…  Well, I wrote it by hand on the contract: Subject to flat fee long distance.

Here is what I got back:

I think we’re talking oranges and apples on our pricing. The $25 unlimited per line is only available on our Flex T1 Line Bundle and with the application you’re setting up long term this would be more expensive vs. than a Trunk Bundle.

OK. But why he said in previous email it is possible? The contract was already in my hands. I didn’t change anything and to be honest I have no idea what is the difference between FLEX or Trunk bundle. Does anyone can shred the light on this? Please email me at info@eastbiz.com

Also I cannot find any sites showing prices for T1 or PRI. Isn’t this total waste of time not to show prices and always have sales people do the pricing?

The biggest enemy for small business - time wasters

April 12, 2006 at 8:46 pm · Filed under Business

One of the reason why many companies are not making good profit is that they don’t get rid off difficult clients. Every hour of your time you can save now or in the future is priceless. Difficult clients take your time now, but will take even more time in the future. It is better to get rid off difficult clients very early in the process. Sounds crazy? No, that’s a good business advice.

I would always try to solve the problem. But some people will never stop to complain. They will never be sastisfied. They just take your time and you cannot focus on clients who are bringing majority of your business while being happy with your services. So if you see situation like that it is better to stop working with them and send them to your competition.

Never ending waste of time on meetings in person

April 6, 2006 at 11:08 am · Filed under Business

From time to time I have people insisting that they have to meet with me before we do some business. Most of the cases it is that such people want to buy something from me or form some partnership and they feel we have to meet personally to do business together.

The scenario goes like this:
1. I email information what we should talk about, hoping that we can really get something constructive going.
2. We meet and the other party apologizes that he/she didn’t have enough time read it.
3. We talk about non related stuff. I try to force it back to business talk.
4. At the end we agree on something, but really nothing major really happens. Maybe few follow up emails, but that’s it.

You can add different people to this scenario (accountant, join venture partner, customer, etc.). I am always surprised how much time people have in hands to insist on meetings like that.

On the other hand when working with people over the internet all the crap is gone. I need something, the task gets done or doesn’t get done. Cooperation will start or fail. If the other party doesn’t have the right information or argument then the business is not done. Decisions are made in seconds or minutes. Small talk is gone. Just results and facts. I like that much better, but too many people still rely on the “old school” way of doing business.
